A new FIELD
FOR SKIM MILK

A use to which skim milk, sour milk and
buttermilk is not often put is paint-mak-
ing, yet this product of the dairy makes
possibly one of the most enduring, pre-
servative and inexpensive paints for barns
and outbuildings. 1t costs little more than
whitewash, provided no great value is
attached to the milk, and it is ques-
ton whether for all kinds of rough work
it does not serve all the purposes of the
ready-mixed paint or even prime lead and
paint mixed in the best linseed oil.
1t is made as follows and no more
should be mixed than is to be used i'm
mediately: Stir into a gallon of milk
about three pounds of Portland cement
and add sufficient Venetian red paint pow
der to impart IA good color. Any other
colored paint powder may be as well used.
The milk will hold the paint in suspen-
sion, but the cement, being heavy, will
sink, so that it becomes necessary to
keep the mixture well stirred with a pad
die. This stirring is the only drawback
to the paint. and as its efficiency depends
upon administering a good coating of ce-
ment, it is not safe to leave its applica-
ton to Enthusiastically or careless help.
Six hours after painting this paint will
be as immovable and unaffected by water
as month old can paint.
The effect of such coating seems to be
to petrify the surface of the wood. Whole
milk is better than buttermik or skim
milk, as it contains more oil, and this is
the constituent which sets the cement.
If mixed with water instead of milk. the
wash rubs and soaks off readily. This
mixture W 18th little extra of the cement
from the bottom of the bucket daubed on
makes the best possible paint for trees
where large limbs have ben pruned or
sawed off.-Scientifc American.

SOCIETY ENTERTAINED
BY SWEET SINGERS

The st. Cecilia club held its midwinter
concert at the Lyceum theater last night
The audience which gathered to enjoy the
musical feast was large and brilliant, fill
ing the theater. Members and guests of
the club were attired in evening dress.
Although the selections were of a diff
ferent character from those rendered at
previous concerts, the entertainment was
equally as good as, if not better than, for
mer concerts given by the club. The
rendition of every number showed the eff
feet of careful and diligent training.
The st. Cecilia club has many admirers
in the city who anxiously look forward
to these concerts every year.

daughters to the streets.
1t is only in the evening that the family
circle may be complete and when every
body is at home, home should be an i'm
mense playground.
No father can hold his sons regard I'M
less he loves to share in his sports. No
mother can be her daughters conhdant
unless she listens eagerly to the tales
of mischief and romance. 1t is such an
easy thing to lose the confidence of the
growing child; there are so many curious
ears among friends and playmates longing
to listen.
Keep the boys and girls at home. Give
them a good time there. Hold them close
to the heart of the family circle. Give
of the best that life affords to the home
gatherings. Give your smiles and sympa-
thy and try to charm and entertain those
whom you love.
