Cheaper Than Ordinary Oil Paint and Much
More Lasting Than whitcwash.
Where rough woodwork, such as old
barns or other frame buildings, fences
and the like, is to be painted, economy
and often necessity would indicate the
use of cheaper materials than ordinary
oil paint, and more lasting than white
wash A formula approved by General
lie Due when he was commissioner Of
agriculture and more recently recalled
by Rural New Yorker, it is claimed,
quite fills the bill. To tN}o quarts Of
water lime, or hydraulic cement, add
sweet skimmilk until of tho consisten-
cy of good cream. Pour IL tie milk
slowly, stir briskly and thoroughly, and
do rot mix more chan this quantity at
O. time, as it is liable to settle to the
bottom and become hard. The proper
tons stated are not exact, and one will
have to use his own Judgment little,
seeing that the mixture is not thin
enough to run" or thick enough not to
spread easily.
Use a fat brush, say four inches in
width, and apply like oil paint. The
paint, when dry, is sort of creamy
stone color, and any other color may be
obtained by the addition of suitable pig
ments, which must first be broken" or
mixed in little milk to paste before
being put with the first mixture. Better
still, buy color ground in water. This
paint has been extensively used for years
with perfect satisfaction, looking well
for several years, and is comparatively
inexpensive. A common laborer can ap-
ply it at saving Of one-half the cost of
painters wages, and farmhands, when
work is slack, could do it. at still
greater saving.
For its lighthouses, beacons and keep
ers' dwellings the government uses
mixture of ten parts freshly slaked lime
to one part of the best hydraulic cement,
mixed we'll with salt water and applied
quite thin. Another government recipe
is as follows: Stake one-haf bushel Of
lime with boiling water, keeping it
covered during the process; then strain
and add one peck Of salt dissolved in
warm water, three pounds of rice flour
boiled in water to thin paste, one-half
pound of whiting and one pound of
white glue dissolved in warm water.
Allow it to stand several days, but ap-
ply hot. Two coats will usually be
found necessary, as in all the foregoing
formulas.

News was received from Washington
this week that the Fort Hall Indian
School Is again 10 be segregated from
the Agency at Ross Fork and placed
under the complete control Of the su-
perintendent. During the past three
years the superintendent has had very
limited authority, as the school was
under the control of Agent Teeter. He
employed all the help and discharged
same at will. This arrangement prov
cd detrimental 10 the school and engen-
dercd hard feelings among the employ
es, such as was continually cropping
out last summer.
MIR. Locke, the present superinten-
dent, has had much experience as an
Indian educator, and was for number
OF years superintendent Of an Indian
school in Dakota; yet as things have
been managed heretofore he has had
no authority to use his own judgment
as TO what was best TO be done, but
rather TO carry out the orders OF the
Agent. This being the case some oi
the employees took upon themselves the
authority of bossing, and caused no lit
tie trouble for all employed at the
school.
The Indian Commissioner has not ye'
named the superintendent but the sup
position Is that Mr.. Locke will receive
the appointment.
