roof may be covered with very cheap shin

last FROM 20 to 25 years. Old roofs can be
patched and coated, looking much better. and
lasting longer than the new shingles without
the slate, for
One-third the Cost of ReshingiinG.
The expense Of stating new shingles is only
about the cost of simply laying them. The
paint is FIRE-PRooF against sparks or flying en-.
bers, as may easily be tested by any one.
1T STOPS EVERY LEAK,
And for tin or iron has no equal, as it expands
by heat, contracts by cold, and NEVER CRACKS
nor scales. Roofs covered with Tar Sheating
Felt can be made water-tight at small ex-
pense, and preserved for many years.
This Slate Paint is
EXTREMELY CHEAP.
Two gallons will cover hundred square
feet Of shingle roof, while on tin, iron, felt
matched boards or any smooth surface, from
two quarts to one gallon are required to 100
square feet of surface, and although the Paint
has heavy body it is easily applied with u
brush.
No Tar Is use i'm this Composition,
Therefore it neither cracks in Winter, nor runs
in Summer.
On decayed shingles it fills up the holes and
pores, and gives new substantial roof that will
| last for years. CURLED or WARPED shingles it
brings to their places, and keeps them there.
1t fills up all holes in Felt roofs, stops the leaks
and although q slow dryer, rain does not
| affect 1t few hours after applying. AS nearly
| all paints that are black contain TAR, be sure
you obtain our GENUINE article, which for
single roofs is
CHOCOLATE COLOR,
When first applied, changing in about q month
| to uniform slate color, and is to all intents
| and purposes SLATE. On
TIN ROOFS
| Our red color is usually preferred, as one coat
is equal to five of any ordinary paint. For
| BRICK WALLS
| Our BRIGHT RED is the only reliable Slate Paint
| ever introduced that will effectually prevent
dampness from penetrating and discoloring the
| plaster.
These paints are also largely used on out
| houses and fences, or as q printing coat on fine
buildings.
Our only colors are CHOCOLATE, RED, BRIGHT
RED, and ORANGE.

All counties, some time or other, have
their pests. Read the following from
the Walla Walla Union: yearly the
squirrels are becoming more numerous
and a greater pest. They are so thick
in places as to prove very destructive
to crops. All sorts of devices are en-
ployed to kill them, but they appear to
Increase in numbers. The Legislature
could authorize the county to offer a
bounty for squirrel skins. By so doing
profitable employment would be furn-
ished for number Of idle boys. Or
better still, tie the legislature might
empower the road supervisors of each
district to order out all the boys be-
tween the ages of II and IS to kill
squirrels. This a plan adopted in Kan
sas to to kill grasshoppers. Something
has got to be done, or in some portions
of the Valley the squirrels will take
possession"
