A CHEAP PAINT.

Take one bushel of uns!acked lime anC
slack it with cold water; when Sucked add
10 it 20 pounds of Spanish whiting, II
pounds of silt, and IL pounds sugar.
Strain this mixture through a wire sieve,
and it will be fit for use after reducing
with cold water. This is intended for the
Outside of buildings, or where it is exposed
to the weather. In order to give a good
color three coats are necessary on brick,
and two on wood 1t may be laid on with
brush similar 10 white wash. Each coat
must have sufficient time to dry before the
next is applied.
For painting inside walls, take as before
one bushel unslacked lime, 3 pounds of
sugar, pounds salt, and prepare as
above, and apply with brush.
have used it on brick, and find it well
calculated to preserve ihem-it is far pre-
ferable TO oil paint, have also used it
on wood, and assure you that it will last
longer on rongh siding than oil paint will
on plain siding or boards.
You can make any color you please
II you wish a straw color, use yellow ochre
instead Of whiting; for lemon color, ochre
and chrome yellow; for lead and slate col.
or, lampblack; for blue, indigo; for green,
chrome green. These different kinds Of
paint will not cost more than onc-fourlh

WHITE WASH.

As the citizens of our village have
much 10 their credit, turned their atten
ton to painting and white washing the
outside OF their buildings, we insert the
fol- wing in hopes something may be
drawn from it to their advantage on the
score ofulility and economy:
McombuS;ible White Wash and SIucco
White Wash. THE basis for both is lime,
which must be first Stacked with hot wa
ter, in small tub or piggin, and covered.
TO keep in the sean; 1t then should be
passed in fluid form, through fine sieve,
to obtain the flower of the lime. 1t must
be put on with painters brush-two
coats are best for outside work.
First: To make fluid for the roof and
other parts of wooden houses, TO render
them incombustibIe, and coating for brick,
Tile, stone work, and rough cast, to render
them impervious TO the water, and give
them a durable and handsome appear
ance. The proportions in each recipe
are FIVE gallons. Slack your lime as before
directed, say SIX quarts, into which put one
quart of clean rock salt for each gallon of
wator TO be entirely dissolved by boiling,
and skinned clean; then add 10 the five
gallons one pound of alum, half pound oil
copperas, three-fourlhs of pound ofpot-
ash; the last to be gradually added; four
quarts of fine sand or hard wood ashes
must also lie added; any colorng matter
may be mixed in such quantity as to give
it the requisite shade. 1t will look better
than paint, and lie lasting as slate. 1t
must be put on hot. Old shingles must be
first cleaned with stiff broom, when this
may lie applied. It will stop the small
leaks, prevent the moss from growing,
render them incombustib!e, and last many
years.
Second: To mako brilliant Stucco
White. Wash for buildings, inside and out:
Take clean Jumps of well burnt stone lime
the same as before add one 70 nth of
pound of whiting or burntalum pulverized,
one pound oil loaf or other sugar, three
points OF rice -four made into G very thin
and well boiled paste, starch or jelly, and
one pound clean glue, in the same manner
as cabinet makers do. This may be ap-
piled cold within doors, but warm outside.
1t will be more brilliant than plaster of
paris, and retain its briIIiancy for many
years, say from fifty to one hundred. |,
is superior, nothing equal. The east end
of the Presidents house in Washinton is
washed with it.-Ohio Farmer.
