This is most remarkable, for there are many vege- table oils which are very similar to this one. Linseed oil is expensive as compared with sev- eral other kinds, hence many attempts have been made to find an oil equally as good for paint- ing ; so far as I am able to learn, none have Digitized by Google 178 The Farmstead been discovered. Linseed oil in paints, when dried, forms a hard, tough, gluey coating which serves to bind firmly the particles of paint together, and to the wood, and to excl...ude water as no other oil does ; hence if any other oil is mixed with the linseed oil, it is said to be adul- terated. At the present time linseed oil is adul- terated in some cases, and it is believed that this adulteration is the chief cause of the lack of durability in many of the ready-mixed paints. If linseed oil be mixed with other oils which are wanting in its valuable characteristic, it is cer- tain that such oils will not bind the particles of paint together as they should be bound. At present the only protection is to purchase guaranteed pure oil of dealers who are reliable beyond perad venture.
