| Show REMARKS BRIGHAM YOUNG tabernacle am of april Rr PORTED REPORTED BY G D WATT I 1 have no elections ejections eject ions to the tenor of the remarks we have just heard beard pertaining to mir mar 0 temporal affairs though they are rather more appropriate according to cutin cut cu Ln ill in buch biach a meeting as we bad had last evening with the bishops high eiph priests etc I 1 wish to say a few words worda on the subject last spoken of by br kimball I 1 he be wil wll be very successful in obtaining oil from flax t r linseed for a beginning and for persons that never saw oil made before which is the case wit with h the workmen who are making 7 it they knew nothing about making oil I 1 think they have done extraordinarily well if I 1 remember correctly in the states five quarts of oil from a bushel of seed was considered a good yield there I 1 was some little acquainted with making oil and very much acquainted with using it br kimball spoke of the oil that u imported to this country I 1 am doubtful whether there has haa ever been a gallon of pure linseed oil imported into this territory arid and the person parson erson erbon that told br kimball that he could reduce itice stice hib bib oil so that the adulteration atlon could not be detected is mistaken for I 1 could detect it ity by rubbing it between my iny fingers before I 1 knew ew anything of mormonism I 1 knew how to adulterate oil br kimball says that alkali is often mixed with linseed uit oil in my young days I 1 had to quit the business of painting purely because I 1 had either ti be dishonest or quit and I 1 quit I 1 will venture to say me have the oil that ia made at br eimm kirn balls balis mill and have pure white le led of our own manufacture and I 1 will put a coat of paint on ott to the outside woodwork of buildings building that will last twenty years better than the maeria materials lB we import and now use for pain lre ire will lait last two years when you buy the oil thit at is iro imo ported and make putty with it and what ia sir commonly called spanish white if you mi t plass glass in windows with that putty in a year or two the glass glas will swill be falling out but when whon you use the pure oil in two yeas you could get the glass glasa outwit cut without hout the theu me sect ct a knife or chisel to first cut out the auti puti 1 let it bland stand ten years and p y ia 0 would have to cut the sash to pieces to i et iki glass out the oil ye we w the aaa aak eash cash ia wurl worl but litt littlee attly iel leq lel rord ford show rohit th which wie wit w make maee e her hervi hervitz il tl roath this llama amare our gur bainter ate tells litus that khat UP 13 is OW trie clim climate a e that destroys the paint I 1 id do 0 ri not nob t t th elek miek ink the there re is a painter in this territory that knows what pure linseed oil is they tell us that the climate destroys the paint that is a mistake the paint is ia not good can you yon tell whether there is alkali mixed with the linseed oil I 1 wean mean an I 1 can also aiso tell whether there is spanish white hite in the paint plaster of paris pans by some called pans paris white is also mixed with white lead lealand lea iea dand hind find our houses bouses are painted with w lih ith it other paints ailts are adulterated adulte I 1 pay from thirty to my fifty dollars to have llave a carriage paints painted ed in three months it needs painting awain again let it stand six months and you would would hardly suppose that it had been in sixteen years yeara we ought to have spoken last night in in regard tp raising raiding flax in in this territory and I 1 will now say to the brethren that we wish them to return the flaxseed flax beed seed ts tey ey have borrow ed at the tithing office we vye also wish you to flax and make linen cloth we have as good workmen at this business as there ars in the world the american brethren do not ene generally rally raily know how to raise flax for making rine tine linen but they can easily learn instead of sowing five pecks to the acre sow tsow five or more bushels and you will raise flax as soft as silk from such flax fabres fibres can be hatche led as fine as spinsters spin steed webbs most of the linen we import is is more than halt cotton the flax Is put into machines arid and cut and torn to pieces esit it then goes through another rotting process is then mixed with cotton carded spun and called linen I 1 once in a while see a genuine piece of linen which will as well last six yearb years as the most we buy will last six months if it is is not washed to death this you know if vou you on have been ace aces tomed to using tow clatl cloth cioth in clearing out brush cutting tin down trees logging 6 and all kinds of rough work one or two pairs of genuine tow trousers trow sers and a couple of tow frocks will last through a surn burn bummer summer mer but put on that heavy so called linen you buy in tue toe stores and do nothing but come into luto a pulpit and before you have ha e had it three months it is cut to pieces arid and entirely done but I 1 will not nott letain detain you longer upon this point br kimball mentioned about some of the broth breth bre threna rens sending to the states tor our ead sead send end to the states go to the stores buy where you please and do you ou think that you can get better
