Apples  and  Thanksgiving 
(Continued  from  Page  1363) 
all  fat  enough  and  the  barns,  cribs  and 
bins  full  for  the  days  when  cold  winds 
blow.  Every  year  seems  shorter  and 
more  pleasant  than  the  preceding  one. 
The  man  who  wrote  that  old  mournful 
hymn,  “I  would  not  live  alway”  was 
not  a  healthy  farmer.  Perhaps  he  could 
not  eat  apples  on  account  of  dyspepsia. 
Are  there  any  drawbacks  on  a  farm? 
Try  something  else  and  wait  until  old 
age  to  compare  experience.  I  believe  I 
used  the  following  before,  but  it  lis 
worthy  of  repetition.  “If  it  ever  comes 
to  the  time  when  the  world  eats  its  last 
meal,  it  will  be  a  farmer  who  eats  it.” 
Anyone  may  have  the  cities.  I  don’t 
want  them.  I  wouldn’t  trade  one  sheep 
pasture  with  the  “black-tops”  in  it  for 
all  of  them.  Others  may  have  the  jam, 
push,  rush,  and  worry  among  the  busi¬ 
ness  maniacs.  I  lived  in  New  York 
until  I  could  get  out  to  Ohio,  and  was 
as  near  it  as  White  Plains  last  year, 
but  ran  across  above  it  to  Dyekman’s 
Ferry  and  away.  I  wanted  to  see  the 
folks  at  333  W.  30th  St.  but  it  was  too 
much  of  a  trial.  A  Thanksgiving  proc¬ 
lamation  must  fall  on  a  lot  of  dull  ears, 
but  the  man  with  a  deed  for  a  country 
home,  some  fruit  trees  and  fields,  who 
has  nice  animal  associates,  is  always 
ready  for  it,  especially  after  the  year’s 
ingathering.  w.  w.  Reynolds. 
Gas-house  Tar  on  Roofing  Paper 
I  bought  a  barrel  of  coal  tar  from  the 
gas  house,  to  put  on  roofing  paper,  the 
plain  kind,  three-ply.  Is  this  kind  of  tar 
all  right  for  the  paper,  or  will  it  burn  it 
and  make  it  hard?  If  this  is  ail  right  ro 
put  on,  would  you  put  any  cement  in  it 
before  putting  it  on?  I  have  been  told 
that  it  would  injure  the  roofing  paper. 
My  paper  was  new  a  year  ago,  but  I 
wanted  tar  to  preserve  it.  n.  b. 
Millville,  N.  J. 
Crude  gas-house  or  coke-oven  tar  is  sel¬ 
dom  satisfactory  for  use  on  roofs  of  this 
type  without  further  refinement.  It  usu¬ 
ally  carries  a  considerable  amount  of  wa¬ 
ter  and  is  not  uniform,  different  runs 
from  the  same  plant  varying  considerably. 
The  water  content  tends  to  prevent  the 
tar  from  sticking  to  the  roof,  so  that  it  is 
very  likely  to  be  largely  washed  off  by  the 
next  rainstorm.  Nothing  is  said  of  pos¬ 
sible  rotting  effects  of  the  tar  that  you 
mention,  and  I  would  suggest  that  you 
experiment  with  some  of  it  on  a  small 
portion  of  the  roof  and  see  what  the  re¬ 
sults  are  before  coating  the  whole  roof.
