There are lots of them-a whole army

What we lack is better stage direction,
better stage managers. It has become
the fad to manage the stage from the

are made up the parts allotted and the
general business of producing is ac-

SKIMMILK PAINT.

A Cheap, Quick Drying Coating That
Will Wear Well.
The following formula for making
skimmilk paint will be of interest to
all who desire cheap paint that will
wear well:
Stir into a gallon Of skimmilk three
pounds of portland cement. adding at
the same time any paint in dry form
that will give the color you desire. The
milk will hold the paint in suspension.
but the cement. being heavy. will sink;
therefore it will be necessary to keep
the mixture well stirred with a pad
die. Mix only enough at a time for
one days use. If the mixture is not
thoroughly stirred as you use ii, 1t win
get thicker and thicker and 1t will be
necessary to thin it by adding more
milk. Six hours after applying this
paint it will be dry. 1t is not affected
by weather.
Carbolic acid or any other disinfect-
ant can be added. thus making 1t very
effective for use in poultry houses and
the stable. 1t makes an excellent
paint for fences when colored drab by
the addition of little lampblack or Q
dull green by adding ocher and a small
quantity of prussian blue.-E. B. Rex
