HOW TO APPLY PAINT. Greatest care should be taken when fainting buildings or implements which are exposed.to the weather , to have the paint applied properly. No excellence jof material ran make up for caroless- fness of application , any more than care' ' | < Sn applying it can make poor paint wear well. The surface to be painted should be 'dry and serapod and sandpapered hard land smooth. I'ure white lead should 'be ' mlxtd v.ilh pure linseed oil , fresh for the job , and should be well bru-hed out. not tiowort on thick.
