Tarred Fell for Roofs.

A>»b«ngh tarred paper roofs are preferred tor wmtef, yet they can be pin on to advantage during the summer. They make the cheapest and best roof* if the work is well done. Fasten the felt (paper) in places and paint it with coal tar, using the tar hot, and throw enough sand on it to prevent the coal tar from running off. In three months thereafter give another coating of tar and sand, and then a coating on<e a year. Such a roof will last a lifetime. —Farm and Fireside.
