Preparation of WhiteWash.

Whitewash Is one OF the most
valuable articles IN the world when
properly applied. 1t prevents not
only the decay Of wosi, but cen
duces greatly to the hcalthine-> of
all buildings, whether Of wood or
stone. Out-buildings and fences
when not painted. should be sup
piled once or twice Il year with a
good coat Of whitewash, which
should be prepared IN the following
way
Take clean, water-tight barrel,
or other suitable cask, and put into
it half u bushel of lime. Slack it
by pouring water over 1t, boiling
hot, and in sufficient quantity to
cover it five inches deep, and stir it
briskly until thoroughly Stacked.
When the Stacking has been ctfec-
tive, dissolve IN water and add two
pounds OF sulphate OF zine, and one
Of common salt These will cause
the wash to harden, and prcvent
cracking, which gives IN unsecmly
appearance to the work.
If desirable, beautiful cream
color may be communicated to the
above wash by adding three pounds
OF yellow ochrc; or Il good pearl or
lead color, by the addition Of lamp.
vine or ivory black. For tawn col
or, add four pounds of lumber.
Turkish ~ American the latter i
the cheapest, one pound OF india
red, and one pound of common
lamp-black.
This wash may be applied with a
common whitewash brush and Will
be found much superior, both in APP
pearance and durability, TO common
whitewash.
