Equal parts of sulphur and white lead,
with about one-sixth proportiod of borax,
are the constituents of the mixture, and
the three should be thoroughly incorpor-

should be placed between the two pieces

alcohol, which leaves water in the varnish,
as all commercial alcohol contains water.

Tha Busy Farmer

A farmer never need fear to be too busy.
1t is the busy man who is the most sue
cessful. Business tends to method and
rule in ones work; in fact, the word bust
ness is derived from this overflow Of work,
so that a business man is one who is al
ways occupied with multiplicity of af-
fairs. The experimental farm at Woburn,
England, which was owned by Earl Ducle,
some years ago needed director, and a
person was named as competent to under
take the management of it. But it was
suggested that he was already overwhelm-
ed with work. Then he is the very man
we want" said the earl; ''the busiest man
has always more capability and spare time
than any other. I want none of your
loiterers. This shrewd remark shows a
deep insight into human nature, for it has
always been the mos. occupied men who
have done the wost work and have been
the most successful to their fellow-men
On the farm this knack of business is most
for the farmer who is employ
ing labor. He must keep the men busy at
profitable work as well as keep busy him
self. The busy farmer, too, is the one
who can most easily discharge his business
from his mind and in the evening. with
his family around him, can engage in a
variety of useful studies and find recrea-
ton as we'll as benefit from them.-N. Y.
