A Good Floor Stain.

A good floor stain is composed of q mkt
ure of unbOiled or crude linseed oil and
turpentine, half and half, with a pint of
Japan dryer to each gallon, to keep the
floor from sickness. Add for cherry Il
small quantity of burnt sienna, little at
time. trying at each addition, SO as to be
certain the stain is not too deep. For u
yellowish red stain add to the sienna 4
trihe of yellow ochre, or raw lumber, only
a little, remembering that color may be
easily deepaned, but not so easily reduced.
For nice floor go over it when well
dried with "Suprense's' yarnish. When
there are cracks in the flooring make a
stiff paste of part -four with water and
part thickened with newspapers or more
CT the latter than the former. Add to
each quart of the paste two tablespoonfuls
of alum. That makes the substance upon
drying into hard papier mache. With a
caseknife fill all the cracks with this
paste before staining or painting. 1t is as
durable as putty and much cheaper 1t is
a good plan to color the paste with a little
of the sienna or the ochre with which the
floor is to be stained.
