This Might Help You
in Your Painting.
Maell of our paint now comes ready-
mixed—that is, the pigment is grourod
in ell and tempered with oil and tur-
pentine and drier. While this paint
is supposed to be ready for applica-
tion, I find that after it has been in
stock for some time the heavier in-
gredients settle to the bottom. A
casual stirring -is not enough to insure
a uniform fluid for application.
The quickest and beet method of
mixing seek paint is to pour off nearly
all of the top liquid. Now stir -thor-
oughly, with a medium paddle, the
remaining liquid into the heavier pig-
ment, stirring so that the motion is
from the bottom of the. container.
Gradually add small quantities of the
liquid poured off, etirring each ad-
ditiOn thoroughly before adding more.
The paint will work much better.

tion of about five to one. The wood

rhallty or dry appearance.
Fax herne-mired evaents, pigment;
.ground in oil should be- teed as far
;es possible, as they wan max far
,e4).$ier and better than is possible with
dry pigments. In mixing such paint,
start with the pigment, adding the
oil slowly as in remixing ready -mixed
paints. This method will consume
much less time and will give a better
paint for the trouble.
White lead ground in oil requires
the addition of about seven or eight.
gallons of linseed oil and one gallon
of turpentine for priming coat, -while
far finishing coats four to five gallons
of oil and one qua.rt of turpentine
make a satisfactory mix for brush ap-
plication.
The pigments -used in pabeting are
either mineral or metallic. The prin-
cipal metallic pigments are lead, zinc,.
and iron compounds. The lead and
zinc are used chiefly as the lease of
white and lighter tinted paints. The
iron gives reds and browns. Mineral
tints are colored earths' mainly, and
furnish a laa.ge variety of colors and
tints. .
To Scald Milk.
To prevent prevent milk from sticking to
the bottom of the kettle or the pan
when you seald it, first boil a little
water in the pats for a minute or two
and then pour it out just before you
pat the milk in.to it.

Comforts on the Rented Farm
Last summer it was my good for-
tune to visit a college friend who had
lived en a farm all her life, had taken
a college course in home economics,
married a man who had graduated
from the college of agriculture and
gone to live an a rented farm. Know-
ing, the good modern house in which
she had lived on her father's farm, I
wondered how she would enjoy a rent-
ed farm. She had ttvo children and the
usual number of hands to -board with
the usual lack of help in the house.
I asked her how She manuged to keep
house so well and have so much time
for reading, and enjoying her children.
She answered, "Do you know, be-
lieve the reason more women are not
able to make their work easier is
because they do not study it enough?"
I asked her how she had gone about
improving the place in which she had
to work. •
"The first thing she mama -
ed, "was to work as best could with
the things I had and arranged just
as they were When I moved in. The
next thing I did was to sit down and
think."
' While thinking, she made a list of
sueh improvements as seemed urgent.
"We are poor folk, you know," she
said, "and we had to make the money
go as fax as it would. So I made my
plans carefully in -order not to have
to spend an undue amount."
The first thing changed was the
sink in the kitchen. It was in a
earner and the men using it had to
cross the working space which she
was using in preparing her meals. At
least three times a day her husband
and his helpers interfered more or less
with preparation of meals. The sink
was toe low and made her back ache.
She had it moved and raised and then
had what she called, "the food end of
the kitchen and the washroom end."
The towels hung in , a hallway near
the sink and thus -automatically mov-
ed the men out of the kitchen a little
faster than they might have moved.
A high cabinet and a, flatetopped
one next were p,urchased. The latter
was on casters which made it easy to
move about the kitchen.
Equipping the Kitchen.
I was interested to see her various
pieces of inexpensive equipment to
save work. She alsonhad •a fireless
cooker, a dish -drainer and a high
stool. I asked her if she -had ever
bought equipment that she -did not
find useful and at this point her band
-
band had great fun telling the of one
dieh-drainer that emphatically did not
do what hael been claimed for it so she
bought another. ° That was the only
piece of equipment she had purchased
which was not satisfactory, but she
had thought eerY carefully and in-
formed herself well about each article
before purchasing at. Although this
was a tenant house, I have never
seen a more convenient kitchen con-
sidering the fact that running water
was not available.
This bright -minded mother earried
her baby in a large market -basket
enameled on the outside, lined and
softly padded. The baby slept most
of. the time in this basket which was
set on a bench something like a piano
bench, only lower, close beside the
bed in which: the another- slept. For
the three-year-old boy she had a bed
which swung over the foot of her bed
