A Good White Wash.

A reader has asked for good formula
for white wash, and we give the follow
ing, which is employed by the United
States government forts and light
houses, and no doubt outranks any other
in existence:
"Take half bushel of unslacked lime,
slack in warm water, cover it during the
process to keep in the steam; strain the
liquid through fine sieve or strainer;
add peck of salt previously we'll dis
solved in warm water; three pounds OF
ground rice boiled to thin paste and
stirred in boiling hot; half pound OF
powdered Spanish whiting and a pound
of glue which has been previously dis
solved over a slow fire.
"Add five gallons of hot water to the
mixture, stir we'll and let it stand for a
few days, covered to keep out the dirt;
strain carefully and apply hot"
