Cheap Wash for Cottages.

For the outside ofwooden cottages, barns,
out-bulldings, fences, &c. where economy
is important, the following wash is recon-
mended
Take clean barrel that will hold water.
Put in it half bushel of fresh qucklime,
and Stake it by pouring over it boiling wa
ter sufficient to cover it four or six inches
Deep and stirring IT till slaked.
When quite slaked dissolve in water, and
add two lbs. of sulphate of zinc, white
vitroil,) which may be had of any of the
druggists, aud which, in few weeks, will
cause the white wash to harden on the
woodwork. Add sufficient water to bring
IL to the consistency of thick whre-wash.
This wash is OF course white, and as white
is color which we think should never be
used except upon buildings a good deal
surrounded by trees, so as TO prevent its
glare, we would make ii fawu or drab
color before using it.
TO make the above wash pleasing cream
color, add 4 lbs yellow ochre.
/ For fawn color, take 1 lbs umber, ID.
Indian red, and ~ h. lampblack
Lampback, when mixed with water
colors, should be thoroughly dissolved in
alcohol Yellow ochre, Indian red, &c.
are all sold in dry powders at few cents
per pound.
To make the wash grey or stone color,
add h. raw umber, and two lbs. lamp
black.
The color may be put on with a common
white wash brush, aud viii be found much
more durable than common whitewash as
the suIphate of zinc sets or hardens the
wash.
CHEAP WASH FOR CoTTAGEs OF Brick
STONE, STucco, OR RoUGH CAST. Take
a barrel and sake half bOshel Of fresh
lime as before mentioned; then fill the
barrel two-thrds full of lime water. Dis
solve in water and add three pounds Of sui
plate of zinc. The whole should be Of the
thickness of paint, ready to use with the
brush. This wash Is improved by the ad.
dtion of peck Of white sand stirred IN
Just before using it. The color is a pale
stone-color, nearly white
To make it fawn color, add ID. yellow
ochre, lbs raw umber , lbs. Indian red
To make it a drab, add To- Indian red

This wash, which we have tested tho
roughly, sets and adheres very firmly t.

THE New porAro DIGGER The ma
chine that was to dig potatoes from the hill
and put them in bags for market, while the
farmer walked beside it whlstling Yankee
Doodle, seems to be verify. Ii is stated
tina, Mr. Schaiier, of Brooklyn, has invent
ed machine which consists OF a scoop, a
brush cylinder, aud an endless apron, con-
nected by movable frame, by operating
which, the scoop is made to enter the ground
the required distance, aud raise up the po-
tatoes, when by a cylinder having revolv-
ing brush, the potatoes are brought forward
from the scoop TO the endless apron, which
carries them away, and deposits them in a
receptacle at the back of the frame. The
machine is worked by horses; the bottom
of the scoop, also the bottom Of the recepta-
Gle for the potatoes, is formed of bars, to
separate the dirt from the potatoes; the
brush removes the dirt, so that they are
rendered very clean.-Rooh. Dem.

CuLruRE OF CARRors. We have, many
a time and oft, called the attention of our
farmer readers to the culture Of this rich
and excellent root for stock, especially for
mich cows in the winter. Having tested
their worth for many years,we recommend
the following suggestion from an exchange
to their consideration
We have, for eight years past, prac-
ticed the growing OF carrots, for the
purpose of feeding to cows and horses
in the winter season. and the result of
our practice has been such that we shall
continue TO grow carrots yearly, unless
we find some root crop more desirable
Our practice has been to pillow the ground
early in the spring as deep as possible
with common pillow, aud loosening the
earth fifteen or eighteen inches deep.
We then leave the ground to lay un-
til the weeds have fairly started; w
then harrow and leave the ground agaiI
for the weeds TO start Again we pillow
and again, when the weeds have go
nicely started, we harrow. In so doing
we have destroyed the seeds OF fou
crops Of weeds, before sowing our carrots
Soaking our seed in water and rollin
il in ashes, after draining an hour Q

Gen. Scott on Peace and War.

Some years ago General Scott was asked for
a literary contribution to Peace Album, and
Immediately wrote on blank page of the book
the following eloquent Words

The following article, from the Madison,

Oh MANuRrs The best method Of ap-
plying manure is an important consideration
with the farmer The following suggestions,
which we gather from the report Of one Of
the Massachusetts societies., are worthy
the consideration OF Vermont farmers
Great diversity Of opinion has been
entertained 10y farmers respecting the
best method of applying manure to the
growing crops. While some directed
to spread on the surface, and then turn
under TO the bottom OF deep furrow
that evaporation may not readily carry
off its more volatile particles others, on
the contrary, insist that II should be
spread on the surface and thoroughly in
corporated with the soil by repeated
narrowing. So far as our experience
goes, the latter mode is prelerable.-
The salts of animal manures buried deep
in the soil have a tendency to settle in
the subsoil below The reach Of the roots

face. give immediate aid to vegetation.
If evaporation of manure near the sur
face be more abundant, do not the alb

cious means Of rapidly advancing The

The custom has prevailed. and still
does. to considerable extent. to haul OF
the top dressing for grass lands, in tn,

is hauled upon the land. II thus pro

FAST EATING.-A writer IN late num-

Sometimes, when see men boiling
down their food in such hot haste, ! feel

dictate of wisdom and organic law, and
poison his system by suffering, until he

how TO eat in future or if you are too
