next in rank, but scoured with considerable difficulty. This 

 treatment had but little effect upon the remainder of the paints.

CONCLUSIONS. 



A paint made of Venetian red ox lamp black as pigments 

 mixed with linseed oil is much more durable than the prepared 

 paints tested. The right consistency may be obtained by the 

 addition of turpentine. 



Brands remain a greater length of time on downs and 

 fine-wools than on coarse wools. 



The fineness of the wool has no effect upon the scouring 

 out qualities of the paints. 



Kemp's was the only paint to scour perfectly. The fluid 

 from the Oregon Wood Distilling Company scoured fairly well 

 but it was impossible to secure a complete removal by ordinary 

 methods.
