Letter 10 Gus Watkins.

Dear Sir: You naturally want to make
your own and your customers money 70 as
far as possible. So, in the general interest,
we tell yon why fewer gallons OF Desoe Lead
and Zinc will paint house than mixed
paints.
Let's suppose you are using lead and Oil.
Instead Of lead and oil you put in four tifths
whiting, lime, water. and other stuff that
doesn't paint at all. Put that q gallon Of lead
and Oil, and what will II do? One.tlfth as
much.
How much of your labor is wasted? Four
fifths. How good JOB will 1t make? No
comparison, How much good will IL do you
In your business TO turn out such job?
And 80 oa.
s Devoe Lead and Zinc paints house with
fewer gallons than mixed pa nts, and wears
twice as long as lead and oil.
Yours truly.

In a recent bulletin reviewing the
work Of road improvement in New
York state State Engineer Bond says:
The legislature appropriated $4,000
for road improvement this year, and
in the three years In which road Inn
provement work has been In progress
20 roads, having a total mileage Of 45
miles, have been improved at cost OF
$685., 800; that 36 roads, having a mile
age of 122 miles, are now undergoing
improvement at cost Of $773,73O
that funds have been awarded for the
Improvement of 3 roads having mile
age Of Z miles at cost Of $56, 600, and
that plans have been approved BY
boards Of supervisors Of IL counties
for the improvement Of Al roads, hav-
ing a mileage OF 134 miles, which
would impose an expense upon the
state and the counties, If adopted. OF
S1,091, ,443.
When all the roads already imprcv-
ed, those under Improvement and
those whose Improvement is suggested
have been improved, 100 will have
been constructed in % counties, COW
ering 80 miles, at cost Of $2,2S9,-
374.35, Of which the state will have paid
one-half and the counties one-half.

ROAD PROGRESS IN OHIO.
Improvement Does Net Keep Pace
With the Demand OF the Times.

Improvement Does Net Keep Pace
With the Demand OF the Times.
Ohio has by no means kept pace In
the matter Of roadbuilding throughout
the country districts either with the
progress made in steam railways or In
the improvement Of city streets, where
within the past twenty-five years the
old macadam and bowlder thorough
fares have given way almost entirely
to the more perfect and lasting granite,
brick and asphalt says the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune.
It is true there Is in this state q Law
which enables the townships through
out Ohio to improve their road system,
known as the free turnpike law, and It
has done wonders for the common
roads of the. state during the twenty:
FIVE years or more that it has been In
force. Perhaps few other states have
similar. laws, but they are not general.
The ordinary country roads throughout
the country generally are, as they have
always been, things to avoid In the sea:
son of freezing and thawing, during
which they are usually impossible. ="

Road Proxress In Tennessee.

Judging from the enthusiasm which
attended the recent annual meeting OF
the Tennessee Good Roads association,
much work in the improvement OF
highways will be accomplished In that
state next year. The convention was
not content with academic discussions
of the advantages Of good roads, the
best material for roadways and the
like, but took practical steps toward
realization of the ideals. To secure
united action throughout the state and
to build up an organization which
would be strong enough to demand leg
islation each county court was urged
to send three delegates to each annual
meeting Of the State Roads association.
1t was decided also to ask the legisla.
ture for the appointment Of state en-
gineer to consult with county super
intendents in the matter Of roads and
bridges and for legislation which would
permit the employment OF jail inmates
In roadmaking. -,

Ever since the indians in the sect ION.
of Vermont now known us Fletcher
discovered "honey" in TIE maple trees
that district has been known far and
wide as the heart of the Vermont sug-
ar country. The way the red men eX-
tracted the delicious compound was
somewhat slow as compared with the
present process. He used to cut q
slantfng cash in the bark and insert
in the lower end gauge shaped piece
of wood, from which the sap ran and
dropped into poplar or Eastwood
trough At the end of the season
these troughs would be set up against
the trees and left until the following
season, by which time the troughs
would be thoroughly mildewed.
This materially added to the flavor
of the aboriginal sugar but can hardly
be said to have improved 1t. The
evaporation of those times consisted of
an iron kettle swung from a sapling
bent over stump, By slow and
tedious process the sap was first heat
ed and then boiled in this kettle. often
taking two or three days boiling be-
fore it could be sugared off. This was
the way in which the redskins and the
early Vermonters eked out sweet
min" of their tea and johnnycake.
