AL reader or these notes who ID plan

og to know the recipe for making the
government whitewash. or the White
House paint. For the benefit of this
reader and others who may be inter

AZ as follows: Slack one-half bushel
OF stone lime. using enough boiling wa
Ter to keep II from burning. and keep
well covered during the process When
the stacking process i finished add
enough more hot water 20 that IL will be
possible to strain the solution through
a fine strainer-brass or a couple thick
nesses OF gunny sacking. Next dis
solve a peck of salt In warm water;
also prepare three pounds Of rice boil
ed to thin paste. The rice and lime
water should first be carefully stirred
together while hot and the salt wa
ter then added and stirred In To this
add one-fourth pound Of Spanish whit
lng and one pint Of liquid glue. This
recipe will give about seven gallons.
and. II there should not be a. much as
this. hot water should be added TO
give the desired amount Various dnts
can be given this paint by stirring in
dry colors. The paint will give the
best results If used hot and should
be stirred at frequent intervals to
keep the several ingredients thorough
