Whitewash for farm Su uildings.

Nothing adds 30 much to the
appearance of farm buildings as
bright and unchanging colors. 1t
costs great deal to keep houses
and barns painted, but it is we'll
worth the money, not merely be-
cause of the increased durability,
but because of the improved ap-
pearance. Nothing spells pro-
sperity in such fair letters, written
large, as we'll painted farm build
ings. Paint, however, is dear, and
for long time farmers who desire
to keep things in frst-class shape
have been looking for cheap
paint or a whitewash that will
stard the weather and not become
instead of clear white a dirty
drab in few weeks or months.
The United States government
has been looking after this, as it
does after almost everything touch
ing farm life, and has hit upon a
whitewash for it's lighthouses
which should stand rough condi-
tlons. We give the receipt as fol-
lows: "Take a half bughel of
uDslacked lime, slack it with
boiling water, tower during the
process to keep III steam,
strain the liquid through fine
sieve or strainer, and add to it a
peck of salt, previously dissolved
in warm water; three pounds Of
groundrlce boiled to a thin paste
and stirred in while hot; half q
pound Spanish whiting and one
pound of glue, previously dissolved
by soaking in cold water, and then
hanging over the fire in a sma IL
pot hung in in larger one filled
with water, add Eve gallons of hot
water to the mixture, stir well and
let it stand few days covered
from dirt. 1t should be applied
hot, for which purpose it can be
kept in portable furnace" "
There is nothing in the above that
is not within the reach of every
reader. He can buy the material,
except possibly the ground rice,
and he can buy that aud have it

DEPARTMENT OVERRUN.
The Charter Mill Running in
Excess of Its Capacity.
