A PITTED STOVE

HOW TO IMPROVE IT.

If a stove is not very deeply pitted, but just badly roughened, try rubbing it hard with coarse emery powder mixed to a paste with linseed oil, or with two parts rottenstone, mixed with one of sulphur. If, however, the surface is deeply pitted, mix Jib blacklead to a paste with the whites of three well-beaten eggs, and smear this in an even smooth layer over the vfata surface of the stove till it appears evenly coated so as to fill out all hollows and dips. Then leave to dry. When quite dry and hard after stove has been used once or twice, polish as usual. Another way is to melt carefully lib of asphalt. Then remove it and add gradually to it half a pint of linseed oil and one quart of turpentine. Apply with a brush evenly over the stove surface, leave to dry perfectly and- then polish as usual with stove polish.
