4 BRILLIANT STUcco NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
have probably heard of the brilliant and lasting
whitewash upon the east side of the Presidents
house at Washington city. The following is a
correct recipe for making it:
Take clean humps Of well burnt lime, (say
five or six quarts,O slack the same with hot wa
ter in a tub, Covered to keep in the steam) pass
itin the fluid form through a fine seive: add one
fourth of 4 pound Of whiting or burnt alum,
pulverized; one pound Of good sugar; three
pints Of rice -four, made into a thin and well
boiled paste, and one pound of clean glue, dis
solved by first soaking it well, and then putting
1t into larger one filled with water, and placed
over a SLOW fire. Add five gallons of hot wa
ter to the whole mixture.
This wash is applied, where particular neat
ness is required, with a painters brush. 1t must
he put oniwhile warm, if upon the outside of
The bulding--if within doors, cold. 1t will
ret9in It's brilliancy for many years. There is
nothing of the kind that will compare with
it. About one pint of this mixture will cover
u square ward upon the outside of a house, if
properly applied. If a larger quantity than 5
~,allons il wanted, the same proportions must
ae Observed in preparing. Coloring matter may
. 2lded to give it any required shade.

Cn}tEatorm my plan Of raising turnips, which |

breaking up well previous to sowing which |
c~nleavor to DO on the full moon in August
After fresh breaking my land and clearing off
I'll the roots and trash, [ hay off my patch in

with sand and sow them down lightly. Ifmy
land is dry pillow them in with a scooter. If
s4aaolablc | harrow Or rake them in. Should
they get foul after they come up | always weed
them over. Second years land, well trod, al
ways makes the largest turnips. Ineyes want
them to stand under from II to lS inches of
each other to raise large ones. I frequently
raise them to weigh from - to 20 lbs. each.
The most important item is raising the seed

nips. In the early part of THE spring, so soon as
| see them start to put forth salad, | pull up as
many again as | wish to raise from, trim off all

transplant them, and | never fail to raise good
seed.

20 years. When | commenced trimming and
transpianting, my turnlps were of a very small
kind, aud had as many roots as the COMMON
Hanover. They are now as large as a plate,
and Of a nice round, with from one to three
roots on. They still bear improving. I had a
friend who carried one to Arkansas-he was on
the road six weeks--the turnip lay out of the
ground all the time. After he reached his home
he planted it and raised fine seed, from which
he has supplied many families. | merely refer
you to the above case that your readers may
draw some idea how long a turnip can be kept
out Of the ground, ~transplantcd and bear good

for half Il minute perhaps. then take it out and
spread it on tins. Go through the whole lot
in this manupr. Then boil down the sugar to Il
thick syrup and pour it over the fruit. Set the
tins either in the san or in Il warm oven till the
berries are dried through in thin gclatinous
cakes. When thoroughly dry put the cakes in
Il bag and lang it up out Of the War. Tho cakes
will keep rs lone rs wanted and may b" fitted

FEYHE Proprietor of the Ladies' National Maga>
IL zine returns his thanks to the American pub
lie for their liberal patronage of his magazine, and
commends to their attention the following
REASONS FOR PREFERRlNG 1T:
As a Ladies' Magazine it stands un,ivalled, its
authors being the best III America, and its contents
original.
As Il Fashionable Monthly it is first: its fashions
being the real Philadelphia and New York ones,
Int issued In adUdace.
AS Family Magazine it is invaluable. To rem,
der fiction useful is the great aim of the work; hence
its domestic stories are pronounced by the press and
the public urequalled III truth and merit.
AS a Pictorial Work it is without a superior; more
superb mezzotiuls appearing in it than in any other
periodical,
For Cheapness and Merit Combined it has no
parallel. At two dollars we furnish a periodical!
rivalling the three dollar ones in elegance, and inf,
nitely more useful 10 the sex. Onr success in this
reduction Of price is owing 10 q rigid adherence to
the cash system aud to payments III advance from
all subscribers.
These are cheaper than any other magazine can
offer: Two dollars a year invariably in advance
To facilitate renittances we offer the following
terms to clubs:
3 SCOPES, $5 90 7copies, $40 90
S copies, $50 is copies, 20 90
PREMIUMS.
To the Postmaster or other person obtaining a
club Of three or five, We will send a copy of Trum
bulls celebrated Picture of the Battle of Bunker
Hill, executed on steel, of a size TO frame and hang
up in the Pallor. For a club of seven or sixteen,

For right and reason both commend II,

The innate tenderness Of thought;
