"A correspondent of the Mark Lane
Express is authority for the statement that
if tablespoonful Of paraffine is stirred
into quart Of peas just previous to plant
ing, so that they are coated, no vermin
will touch the seed. The suggestion is
worthy of notice, as it is not unreasonable
to suppose that seed corn thus treated
might, in a measure, be protected from
the ravages of cut-worms.

Paint for Rough Buildings-A cor
respondent in the Country Gentleman gives
the following recipe for cheap coloring
for rough buildings: Take Q or. of sal
ammoniac and 2 or of potash; dissolve
these in three quarts of water; then add
one quart raw linseed oil; then take, say
10 pounds dry red paint Chat was what
weusedD and add water enough to make
it thin enough to put on with whitewash
brush 1--WE used fish pickle. Add one gill
turpentine to the linseed OIL IF red does
not suit add anything to alter the color
We used paint made as above on rough
buildings twelve years ago, and it is al
most or quite as bright now as when we
put it on. To make the building look
well, you ought to paint the corner boards
with white lead and OIL '~
TO Make Cheese from Loppered Milk
Set the thick milk on the top of the
stove, where it will gradually scald. Stil
gently now and then. It should not be
allowed to boil, as that makes the curd
too hard and dry. When it is cooked SC
that the curd will keep its shape after be
ing squeezed in the hand it is done
Pour it into a colander, to let the whey
drain off, and when cool enough to handle
press it in the hands to get out the re
mainder Of the whey. Then, to quart OF
SO of curd, take tablespoonful of butter

and mix it well together. Then make il
