Cheap, Durable Paint.
A Mixture the Composition of
Which is Simple and mex
pensive That Admirably
Serves the Purpose of Reg
ular Paint.

The following formula for making
a cheap durable whitewash-paint
has been published in these columns
before, and is reprinted by request.
This paint, or whitewash, is the same
as used by the United States govern
ment on all the lighthouses and sim
liar buildings because it withstands
the effect OF dampness better than
regular paint. 1t has been used by
many persons who testify from
knowledge and experience as to it's
value and durability, declaring that
it will give perfectly white finish
and last for years, preserving the
buildings from decay as well~a
greatly enhancing their beauty The
formula is as follows:
Half a hushel OF unslacked lime.
Slack with warm water. Cover it
during the process to keep in the
steam. Strain the liquid through a
fine sieve Or strainer Add a peck of
salt previously well dissolved in
water, and three pounds of ground
rice boiled to thin paste and stirred
in boiling hot; half pound of pow
dered Spanish whiting and two
pounds Of glue which has been pre-
viously dissolved over II slow fire.
Add hot water to make five gallons
of the mixture. Stir we'll and let it
stand for few days covered up
from the dirt. 1t should be put on
hot. One pint of this mixture will
cover a square yard properly applied.
Small brushes are best.
This forms a brilliant and very
durable paint for inside or outside
use. 1t is better than lead paint for
localities near the seashore
The composition of this paint is
very simple and it is cheap enough to
be within the reach OF everyone, the
cost of the above mentioned guam
tity Give gallons) not exceeding 60
or rs cents.
Any desired color may be obtained
by adding from one-half to one gal
Ion of ordinary store paint.

The Spit-Log Drag.
MIR. O. w. Blacknall Makes
Some Timely Suggestions
on the Adoption of This
Method of Working the
Public Roads.

kittrell, n. g., Jan. 25th, 1908.
EDITOR GOLD LEAE:-I note with inter
est that you reprint an article giving the
words of the press on the split-log drag
for Keeping roads in good condition.
have long been anxious to see this method
tested on our roads. Some eight years
ago sent you a clipping advocating the
same implement with some comments OF
my own on it. 1t was overlooked in the
office and never printed.
1t would cost but little to have it
tested on two short sections of road.
One should be sandy and one stiff. Its
use must be just at the right time or the
test would amount to little. The drag
should be drawn over the road soon
after each rain, while the ground is soft
The sooner it could begin after a thor
ough working by the road force the better.
believe that its packing effects on very
sandy roads like that horse-killing
stretch near Stewards, between Bear
Pond and Henderson, would he most
beneficial. Sections OF road like that are
the most stubborn problem that our
local road workers have to face. So far
they have been not one whit benefited by
the work done on them. The worn clay
road is hard and fairly good most of the
year. The very sandy road is bad at all
times except for short while after a
shower, just hard enough to pack, but
not long enough to loblolly them.
Only those who drive or haul over
such roads know how exhausting to
horses they are.
The drag, if run frequently over such
sections, would fill the ruts and also
have the tamping, packing effect of
hard shower.
In some of the Northern States road
working is farmed out. This mode
would have to be adopted here to rightly
test the split-log drag. A reliable nearby
farmer could be hired to properly drag a
short section of road after each rain and
as often as advisable. The test would
cost only few dollars and might save
tens of thousands
The dragging, especially on very sandy
roads, would have to be frequently done
If properly and timely doneI believe that
it would make good roads of those
dreaded sections which otherwise can
only be bettered by hauling on clay
which would cost great deal as it
would have to be brought so far.
o. w. BLACKNALL.
I'VE presume that the article Mr.
Blacknall refers to was one written
by D. Ward King and published in
the Saturday Evening Post. 1t was
printed in the GOLD LEAF July 81,
1905, making about two and
one-half columns in this paper Our
good friend who does us the honor
to read the GOLD LEAF very closely
seems to have overlooked this ar
ticle, or the fact that it was printed
after he was kind and thoughtful
enough to send it to us has escaped
his memory.-EDIToR]

A Plea For The Women in the
Country.

Says an exchange:
There is too little brightness in the
lives of women in the country. They
have too little help in their domes-
tic occupations. The nurse" in a
house where there is baby to care
for ought to be set down as one OF
the regular expenses as much as the
potatoes for the family. A mothers
health, both OF body and mind, is
worth more than additional acres
of land, or finer live stock. The heart
should not be allowed to grow Old.
Life should not have lost its charm,
the heart its spirit. and the body It's
elasticity at 40 years. And yet how
many women are faded and wan,
and shattered in mind and health,
long before they are forty. All the
Joy in life is not in youths morning:
If we so will it, we can, to the last
moment of life, be at least negative
ly happy.
