There is no excuse for any farmer in
not giving at least one coat of lime wash oc-
casioualy to his oul-bulldlngs, If he canno
afford anything better.
A limited trial of the Brandon paints, man
ufactured at Brandon, VI, by the Brand n
iron and CArWheel Company, gives a very
favorable opinion OF them. Experienced
painters who have used these paints for US,
pronounce the Brandon Rcd superior in char.
acter to Venetian Red, and Brandon yellow
As decidedly better than yellow Ochre; while
at the same time they are furnished at only
two cents per pound.
We have lrlrd many experiments. and seen
others try them, with those cheaper paints
known as washes, OF which mixture of me
and water forms the basis. They are many
times cheaper than oil paints, but still they
are washes, and more or less liable to b,
washed off or to scale off. Whte-wash o
lime is, however, always valuable in its var
GUS mod fca!ions and applied every two o
three years to rough fence and rough-ou
buildings, serves most valu Ible purpose il
preserving the wood from decay aud from
moss, being worth many times their cost. Bu
oil paint alone will endure uDchlnged an,
unaffected, all the changes Of moisture arr
exposure. e.-Coan. Gent.

Cheap Paints for Fences and buildings

Cheap Paints for Fences and buildings.
The many inquiries we receive on this sub
ject induce US to give the results of any ex-
perments We make or which come under our
observation. Having had occasion r, Gently
to erect and lint board fence about three
hundred feet long, the following mode was
adopted. The fence was Ma ie Of six hori-
Eonlal boards, besides the cap, nailed to red
cedar posts, and to avoid expense, the boards
lot nearly clear stuff piue) were left unplain-
ed. The expense of p'aning both sides by a
machine driven With s!eam, would have been
about FIVE dollars.
The paint applied was made like common
oil paint, grounl water lime being used for
the pigment, not on account Of any virtue il
may possess from its properties as cement,
but because Of ils cheapHesS, costing about
hsf cent pound. 1t may possibly, how
ever, be much better thSn some other pants,
as a lence coated once with il in mix ure with
oil three years ago, appears as perfect as the
day it was applied. In order to give it n
warmer TIM, to correspond with the buildings
sdjacant, a small portion Of Branlon Il d WAS
added. a single coat of this paint was then
given to the fence, the tough board, It Iining
enough " Ot tl IHl 10 thIte OGIlHtIA cjRls on
planed boards. About nine gallons OF oil
were thus consumed. costing ab,us eleven
dollars. The pigment was valued at fifty
cents; and about four days were oacl pi I'd in
mixing and applying it. at six dollars cost
the whole surface on both sides and the post
being painted. The total cost was abou
eighteen dollars.
The expense of this application, as com
pared with using white lead paint applied il
two coats on pianed SUFFICE, is MS follows
Two coats Of white lead paint are estimated
to cost fifteen cents per square yard. Ther
were on both sides of this fence and on tn
edges of the boards. over l72 square yards
which at Is cents each would amount /
about $26. Consequently eight dollars WA
saved in painting, aud FIVE more, at least i
planning, if done in the cheapest manner
making thirteen dollars additional, whic
would make white lead nearly double the el
psnSe Of the mole adopted.
A barn, thirty, by forty feet, and with a
average height of sides equal to ighte n fee
would present an entire surface OF 2T5 squa.
yards. to paint. which in the manu,r We hs,
described, on new unplsned pine siding, "oul
cost little less than thirty dollars. A CO;
Of white wash may be applied for a less r'
pense than five dollars. " coats of viii
lead would cost thirty one do.lals besides Il
expense Of planning.
