A PLowMAN says there are several
easy ways to prevent rusting of plows
and c~ultivators and to keep the teeth
bright. One is to give them a coat OF
thick iimewash as Don as they are
brought in from the field. Another is
to dissolve an ounce OF ro5ln in four
ounces of linseed oil, and while hot mix
this with a quart of kerosene and stir
well. This is laid on the smooth iron
with a paint brush. Another way is to
dissolve an ounce of camphor in some
turpentine and add to this four ounces
of lard and n ounce of pulverized
black lead or stove polish and mix well.
This may be rubbed on with a rag. To
move rust from tools or plows moth
ing is better than a mixture of half a
pint of oil of vitrlol poured slowly into
a quart of water, and apply this to the
rusted metal. Wash off with water.
