Cheap Roofing Paint.

The cheapest roofing paint is red
iron oxide, with boiled linseed oil for
the first coat, finished with second
coat of raw oil. This is dark brown
color and the most durable of all
kinds of paint as the oil and the iron
oxide make chemical combination
which is absorbed by the wood or
unites with metal roof. The quanti-
ty needed is based on the fact that
enc gallon of the thin first coat will
cover 400 square feet and the second
heavier coat will require a gallon for
$50 square feet. If the roof Is of
shingles, it is desirable to paint these
on both sides before they are laid on
the roof. They will last twice as long
as il painted only on one side after
the roof is laid. A quick way of
painting the shingles is to dip them in
the mixed paint, setting them In a.
trough to drain, thus saving the ex-
cess of paint that Is not absorbed by
the wood.

old friends son, who, by some means,
had asserted and maintained a right
to remain In the sick room.
The doctor, seeing that the patient
had regained consciousness for while
before the end, stood aside, SO as not
to interfere with those last solemn
moments.
The dying mans gaze rested upon
the young man--who, in obedience to
a gesture, approached and bent over
him-with strange intensity, and his
lips moved.
DO you forgiven" he murmured
close to the others ear, SO that the
words might be heard by none but
him for whom they were intended.
II have nothing to forgive" was the
broken answer. You acted for the
best, and bless you for it,
A look of peace fell upon the corpse
like countenance upon the pillow, and
he turned his eyes again upon his
daughter.

child" said he; "and when am
gone"
He gave deep sigh, his eyes closed,
and his head fell little to one side.
The doctor pressed forward.
This is the end,' he said, land a
very peaceful one.
But 1t was not quite the end.
Once more the dying eyes opened,
and fixed themselves upon the pale,

had once hoped to see him expiate his
deed upon the scaffold

1T was the most merciful death,

Cement for Wall.

l. How many barrels of Portland
cement would be required to build
1913 feet of wall seven feet high and
one foot thick, using quantity Of
stone filters?
2. Would there be any danger or
cement spelling if left over winter in
dry place?
3. Are cement blocks warm and
dry enough without any lathing and
plaster?
For a wall 1913 feet long by Z feet
high and one foot thick, 1t would take
twenty-five barrels of Portland ce-
ment, twenty-six yards of gravel, and
seven yards of stone filters, concrete
mixed eight parts gravel to one part
cement.
2. Cement stored in a thoroughly
dry place will keep over winter, but
fresh cement is always the best for
any kind of work.
3. For dwelling houses it is best
to strap, lath and plaster, as the hol-
low in the blocks Is not continuous,
SO the walls will sweat more or less,
and be damp.

The plan for poultry house given

feet long and Is feet wide, though

is the arrangement of the nests which

nests is held in place with hinges.
BY raising this board all the nests
are opened to view, making it very
convenient for taking out the eggs.
This device renders the nesting place
dark and the entrance that leads to
these nests being at one end of the
passageway prevents the hens from
getting into the nests except when
they wish to lay. On the north side
of this room are three roosting poles
