HE BEST (PAINT, FORASCREEMS. 
BY MR. LYDELL. 
Last year the question was asked in regard to a paint to keep 
screens from rusting. This season we have used here at the Mill 
Creek Station an article put out by the Sherwin & Williams Co., 
ealled the Sherwin & Wilhams Pure Atchison Graphite Paint. 
We have found that if fills the bill better than anything vet used. 
The company lent us samples (showing screens) coated with one, 
two and three coats. The number of coats on each screen is in- 
dicated by these small white marks on the corner (indicating) ; 
one mark, one coat, and so on. You will notice that in bending 
the screen up it does not break the coating. 
Mr. Nevin: Do you think it is better than coal tar? 
Mr. Lydell: Ten to one. You can put it on more quickly 
than tar. 
Here is a screen with one coating on it which has been in 
use all summer long; it was put in a pond the first of May and 
taken out last week. 
Mr. Bassett: What is the address of this firm ? 
Mr. Lydell: You can buy it at any hardware store in the 
United States. The cost is something hke $1.50 a gallon, and 
the name of the paint in full is Sherwin & Williams Pure Atchi- 
son Graphite Paint.
