THE PAINTING SEASON.

Good results in painting at the least
cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily test
ed. The solid part or pigment should
be White Lead. The liquid part
should be Linseed Oil. Those best in
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each job.
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place pea-sized bit of White Lead
on a piece of charcoal or piece OF
wood. Blow the fame against it and
see what it will do. If it is pure
White Lead, little drops of bright, pure
metallic lead will appear, and with pa
thence the White Lead can be COM
pletely reduced to one globule of metal
lie lead This is because pure White
Lead is made from metallic lead.
You may test dozens of other So
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one of them to lead. If they
will not change wholly to lead but
leave a residue, it is clear that some
adulterant is present.
If you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, it would
be costly in the end
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building, New York City are
sending on request blowpipe free to
any one about to have painting done,
so that the White Lead may be test
ed With it will be sent handsomely
printed booklet having as its frontis-
piece the Dutch Boy Painter" re-
produced from the original painting.
This little painter has become noted
as the guaranty Of pure White Lead
Losing a Tenant.
A landlord in the Highlands of Scot
land had "crofter" tenant, who paid
the little farm. At the end of the
second year the tenant came to the
landlord and said that he was not
able to pay more than five shillings a
year, as crops had been poor. The
landlord agreed to this.
At the end OF the third year the
tenant appeared before the landlord
again and complained that things
were going so poorly with him that
he was not able to pay any rent. The
landlord agreed to let him remain
rent free At the end of the fourth
year the tenant once more appeared
before the landlord, and said:
Colonel, if you don't build me
barn Ill have to move"

cessity there will be many things
where the action of the Government
is needed to protect its interests. 1t
is to conventions of this kind that
the various departments must look
for suggestions along these lines.
Many of these questions have been
discussed during the present con-
grcss, and many more will be under
discussion before its close. The
Smoot Bill, regarding the securing
of government lands for dry farming
purposes was ghly commended, as
it is one of the prime necessities Of
the industry. The relation of the dry
farmer to the grazing industry, was
a question which brought out great
amount of discussion, and from the
conclusions arrived at, steps will be
taken to harmonic the two so as TO
conserve the best interests of both.
To all who watched the delibera-
tons of the congress, one thought
was pressed home. Arid farming is
no longer an experiment. Scientific
methods of cultivating the arid soils,
so as to conserve the natural mois-
ture for the use of the plants dur
ing the rainless summer months; the
selection and the evolution of plants
which are the best suited to unirri-
gated tracts, and the sensible use OF
the waters which are available even
in the sert, will add millions of
acres to the arabic lands of the
country. Where one acre has been
reclaimed by the means OF irrigation,
five will be rendered productive by
the means of scientific dry farming.
The future of the congress is as
sured. 1t will and does occupy a
place in the development of the arid
and semi-arid west that no other
organization can occupy, and it is
second to none in importance of it,
material well being.
