PAINTING THE BUILDING
PIGMENT is THE BEST
PRESERVATIvE.
BY c. e. Brashear, College of Agr
culture, University Of
Missouri.

The idea seems to prevail on many
farms that paint is used solely as an
ornament, and its use is regarded as
a luxury rather than necessity
While paint does serve the purpose
of identifying the farm, it is just
us useful for protection as for orna-
mental purposes. A small amount of
money and work expended in keeping
building or piece of machinery
pointed adds greatly to the length of
its life.
Paint is mixture OF pigment and
liquid. The pigment is the coloring
part and consists of white lead, zinc,
lamp-black or other material. The
liquid is usually linseed oil, this be-
ing more efficient than any other oil.
Besides these two parts there is in
most paints drier. known as japan
or japan drier, which hastens the dry
ing process. While it's use is often
necessary, the amount used should be
small. If large amount is added
the drying of the oil is often retarded
and the paint is less durable Ger.

rate and add nothing to the value of
the paint.
Wood is more or less of a porous
nature and the oil of the paint readily
sinks into it. making it necessary for

than one coat.

to make good job. The first coat

dalton for the second coat If there
are to be three coats. the second
should not dry with a gloss, for
glossy surface does not furnish
good founddtion for the third coat.
To prevent this small amount of
turpentine is added to the paint: to
each gallon of paint add a half pint
of turpentine. This coat should be
allowed to dry a few days longer than
the first.

Testing Corn Varieties
Experiments Have Determined Best Varieties

To determine which varieties of
corn yield the best in different parts
Of the state and in the states as a
whole was the object of work done by

experiment covering the years 1905,

rieties tried were:

GUS wood the amount of oil is in

applied with as much care as the
succeeding coats and should be thor.
oughly brushed into the wood
Many painters add great deal OF
drier and turpentine to the first coat
and apply the other coats almost i'm
mediately after finishing the printing.
This is not a good practice. The
paint for printing should consist OF
the pigment, linseed oil, and a mini.
mum amount of drier, with no tur-
pentine. A week should elapse be-
fore putting on the second coat.
The third coat should dry with d
gloss, so there should be no turpen-
tine added to the paint The ten
dency with some painters is to add an
excessive amount of turpentine to all
paints, spreading it in thin. even coats
with less labor
The main point in selecting a paint
for indoor work is 10 choose one that
will cover well the article to be paint
