Brashear, College of Agri- 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 a_ necessity | While paint does serve the purpo: ! of: beautifying the farm, it is ju as useful for protection as for orna: | mental purposes, A small amount of; ; money and work expended in keeping a building or a piece of machinery | pointed adds greatly to the length of | iits life, Paint is a mixture of a pigment and | a 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 a drier, known as japan | } or japan drier, which hastens the dry- | | ing process. While its use is often | | necessary, the amount used should be | small. If a large amount is added, | the drying of the oi! is often retarded, | d the paint is less durable. Cer. | tain pigments like red lead have the} power of hastening drying, so that no| drier need be used with them. | | Turpentine or benzine is sometimes : added to thin the "paint, that it may be spread more easily. These evapo- 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| a good job of painting to apply more than one coat. | Three coats are usually necessary! to make a good job. The first coat! fills the pores and furnishes a foun. | dation for the second coat. If there are to be three coats, the second should not dry witu a gloss, for a glossy surface does not furnish a good foundation for the third co:t. To prevent this a small amount of turpentine is added to the paint; to each gallon of paint add a half pint of turpentife. This coat should be} allowed to dry a few days longer than the first.
