An Excellent Whitewash Recipe.

AS the whitewash season will soon be at hand,
you will, of course, want to know good recipe and
how to mix it. We recommend the following,
which we take from the Outing Magazine and
which is said to be the formula Of the wash used by
the Government on its forts and lighthouses:
"Half bushel OF fresh lime, Stacked by pouring
hot water over it. Keep it covered during the pro-
cess of Stacking to prevent the escape of steam.
When it becomes liquid, it will in a short time
if stirred frequently, strain it through fine sieve,
then add peck of salt, previously dissolved in hot
water, and three pounds of rice which has been
boiled until it is the consistency Of paste, half
pound of whiting, and pound of glue which has
been reduced to a liquid condition. Add these
various ingredients while hot and when we'll mixed,
by stirring, add five gallons of hot water. Keep on
stirring until the mass is smooth liquid of creamy
consistency. Then let it stand for few days, well
covered. Strain again to remove all sediment, if
you propose to apply it with sprayer 1t will not
be necessary to do this if you intend to spread it
with brush. Apply while hot. 1t will be noticed
that all the ingredients to be kept hot while the
wash IS being made, beat seeming to be necessary
in it's preparation. Coloring matter can be added
to suit the taste of the There is nothing that
will compare with this proposition for durability
and brillancy. Many persons prefer it to paint
