Two gallons will cover hundred square
feet of single roof, while on tin, iron, felt

from two quarts to one gallon are required

the paint has heavy body it is easily ap-

PAINT FARM Tools In WINTER
The Colonial Farmer" urges farm
ers to paint up their machines, tools
and implements this winter and there.
by not only have them all ready
when wanted in the spring, but actu-
ally add to their value and durabil-
ity. 1t says, with much truth, that
millions of dollars are lost annually
in the United States, by neglect tc
paint farm wagons, plows, harrows
&c. These things, if we'll painted
and kept under cover when not in
use, will last three times as long as
they will when not reprinted after
two or three years use. Amy farmer
can paint these things. All that is
needed is venitian red and linseec
oil, half raw and half boiled, Their
wash the implement to be painted
thoroughly, and proceed to apply the
paint.

These same cattle were always we'll

hay and fodder---the COWS were usu-

effects of the want of sufficient water
in the proper places and times was

ueduc1 carried spring water into a
long trough in the yard, where the
water seldom froze entirely over, SO
that cattle whenever out in the yard
could take a drink at any time, con-
sequently would never overdrink and
be SO chilled and curled up. have
often watched the sheep, when taking
their morning or evening meal or hay,
run every few minutes to the water,
drink a little, then 60 back to the
hay rack, eat little, and then trot
off to the water again and the crowd
at the water-tub was fully equal to
the crowd at the bar Of our Pittsfeld
liquor saloons, but not so noisy. For
mich COWS in severe weather, it is
better to give water with the chill

falling off in our milk when the COWS

FAST WALKING HoRsEs.-It has
been shown in these columns that
the produc ion of thoroughbred and
trotting horses has been largely in
excess Of the death rate, that as a
necessary sequence the stock in the
country is increasing from year to
year, and that unless a foreign de-
mand be cres ted prices must inevi-
tably decline. Breeders should there
fore turn their attention more to the
production Of fast-walking horses,
both for the saddle and general
draught. The business would pay
handsomely, for the utility and value
of such horses would soon be proper
ly appreciated, thus creating steady
demand, which would not likely be
diminished, for the next half century
at least. On the farm slow walking
horse does not do half the work that
a rapid walker is able to accomplish.
In towns and cities where draught
horses are used in the truck, cart,
dray, &C., it is the same not the half
the work is performed by the slow
walker, who crawls along at snails
pace, and when drawing a load, can.
not be galvanized into rapid motion.
AS traveller, both under saddle and
in harness, the slow walker is a nui-
sance. No matter what work he is
engaged in, time and money are lost
to his owner every day he lives.
SETTLING CoFFEE.-This can be
done without anything being put in
10 your coffee to settle it. 1t only
wants to be known how to handle it.
Put your ground coffee into the cof-
fee pot, and add cold water sufficient
for use, if but few cups are wanted.
Set on the stove and keep there until
the bciling-point is reached, but in
no case boil. This requires some
watching toward the last. 1t is bet
ter to set it off few minutes before
boiling than have it boil up.
Immediately when set off stir the
surface with spoon. This can be
done two OF three times in as many
minutes. Then let it rest. In about
ten minutes time it will all be sunk
to the bottom and fit to pour out
When more than a few cups are
wanted, more water (hot) may be ad-
ded when the the cofee.pot is re-
moved from the stove.

The notion that high foreheads,

When it is considered that great
