 den. Cheap paints soon fade. 

 peel or scrape off, and white lead 

 and oil costs so much, and has to 

 be replaced so often that it is a 

 constant expense to keep the 

 bright, clean appearance so de- 

 sirable ic the cozy cottage home 

 or the eleerant mansion. The fol- 

 lowing are a few of the large 

 users of Carrara Paint:

Carrara is used because it lasts 

 longer, never fades, never cracks. 

 never blisters, never peels,covers 

 more surface than the highest 

 priced paints, and costs less than 

 the cheap mixed paints that in-

iure instead of protect, Carrara 

 \*aint is the best possible cover- 

 ing for beehives, as it does not 

 chalk or peel, and perfectly pro- 

 tects the surface over which it is 

 used, and one paintin^of Carrara 

 will outlast two of the best white 

 lead. A grallon will cover twenty- 

 live 154-5tory hives— two coats. 

 There is but one Carrara. It is 

 made bv the Carrara Paint

 rara Bldg., Cincinnati, Ohio, and 

 any one having a house to paint 

 should send tor 50 free sample

 showing many buildings repro- 

 duced in all the colors -just as 

 they are painted from this great 

 paint that has stood the most 

 rigid tests for 25 years; and bear 

 in mind that it is the only paint

hives, take oft the wire-cloth, aud place a 

 saucer about 4^ o' inches iu diameter down ia 

 the circular opening and resting upon the 

 fratues. I put a piece of cloth in the saucer, 

 allowing- it to extend over the sides and touch 

 the frames. Over the saucer I invert a cover 

 about 6 inches square (inside measure) aud 2 

 inches deep. Through this cover I have pre- 

 viously bored a hole large enough to admit a 

 tin tube — an ordinary dipper-handle will 

 make two — then I put back the planer-shav- 

 ings and my preparations are done. Each 

 evening I pour about five tablespoonfuls of 

 thin syrup down through the tin tube and 

 into the saucer. Nothing is left of the syrup 

 by morning. To read the description it may 

 seem like a good deal of work, liut it is ail 

 very easy work, and, once made, the articles 

 last forever. I have never yet tried a plan 

 that is so free from messiness and danger of 

 robbing. It is absolutely safe, and I have 

 found it successful in every instance.
