the paint iut been applied. Beside*. rust and
dirt are apt to cause peyling of the paint. Hate the surface as smooth as possible. It
has been observed that highly polished steel plates corrode slowly. except at scratches, where they nut rapidly.
NUMBER OF COATS.
Three coals of paint are necessary on all outside work if best rriuhs are to be burned. Two coati will do for metal that is indoors. 3a no case will one coat of paint completely cover bare metal To tbc waked eye, the metal may apprar to he coveted but undt-r the tnicroiscope there is another story . . if any small pin* boles and air bobt>W< wilt he found. Even a aeeond coat w ill not afcUolmeiy cover all these pinholes. A third coal a rralfy necessary. Of course, the more the paint i* hroshed put the sure the pinholes and 5Mf bobble* art worked cot. Plenty of food brushing effort is osattial to a first-class job.
MIXING THE PAINT.
Paint is made with Dutch Boy red-Wad ex actly as wbne-Wad paint is made with whitelead paste, by simply adding linseed oil a little at a time and stirring constantly with a wooden paddle. Tbc tame procedure is followed if dry re-d-lrad. instead of paste red-Wad. is used.
if the paint is to be tinted, "break up" or often the red-Wad first with just.enough bnared oil to make a workable: paste; tbeh add the coloring material and finally the remainder

This formula makes about 9 galloos of paint, which will cover about 5,175 square feet, one coat.
Where less paint is required than the quan tity which the forc^swng formula and those following make, divid the number ot gallons given by the number oi gallons wanted; then divide the quantities of ingredients by the result. For'example: W het: only 41 j gallon* of paint mixed according to the preceding formula, are olerded. divide 9 by 43 2 and the resultant 2 into the quantities <if ingredient*. This changes ihc formula i. fifty pounds of white-lead, two gallons of linseed oil one galkm of turprmihe and one-half pint of drier.
If CTwrc paint than a formula makes is re quired. divide the numhef of galkios needed by the number jjrivm: then multiply the quan tities .of uagrediems by the result.
