Stucco for House 
Can you give advice as to what is the 
' best thing to do with a lumber house 
52x26x20 ft.? I would like to put rough 
cement from the bottom to the top. 
New York. p. p. 
The first step in preparing a frame 
house for a stucco finish is to see that all 
the walls are made strong and rigid 
by nailing and bracing. The building 
must be rigid enough to prevent cracking 
in the wind and consequent cracking of 
the stucco. It should be covered with 
waterproof paper and vertical furring 
strips placed over this to carry the metal 
lath to which the stucco is applied. 
The mortar is mixed in the proportion 
of one part cement to two to three parts 
clean, well-graded sand, with about 10 per 
cent of hydrated lime added if desired. 
Clean cow hair is also added to the first 
coat. Enough clean water is used to 
make a stiff mortar. This is mixed in 
comparatively small batches, as it should 
be applied within 30 minutes after mix¬ 
ing. Especial care must be used to pre¬ 
vent the entrance of water about win¬ 
dows and other openings. Work of this 
kind should be done at a season when 
the stucco w r ill have an opportunity to 
dry slowly without freezing.

Know What Your Fertilizer 
Is Made Of 
The only part of fertilizer that counts is the part that 
is available to the crop. The chemical analysis shown 
on the bag tells only a part of the story. The import¬ 
ant thing to know is the source of plant food. 
The Tag Tells the Story 
G. L. F. Mixed Fertilizers are made on public formu¬ 
las. To every bag is attached a tag which gives the 
name and amount of the sources of plant food in the 
mixture. This enables you to know that the fertilizer 
is made from materials containing available plant food. 
There Are Only Two Ways to Cut Prices 
One is to make savings in the cost of securing orders, 
manufacturing goods, and running the organization. 
This the G. L. F. by doubling its business last year 
has done. The other is to lower the quality of the 
goods.. 
Public Formulas Fix Their Own Values 
Because they are manufactured on public formulas 
which specify definite amounts of high grade materials 
carrying available plant food G. L. F. fertilizers cannot 
be priced to meet low quality competition. The public 
formula automatically establishes a minimum price 
based on the markets for the raw materials used. 
Do you prefer mixed fertilizers of guaranteed high 
quality and availability at fair prices or do you want 
unknown quality at low prices? Your 
answer should be given in orders for 
G. L. F. high analysis public formula 
mixed fertilizers supplied by your 
own organization^
