 Substitute for Paint.—" W. E. W." is informed that 

 i following is taken from the appendix to Young's 

 farmers' Calendar," edition 1815 :— Take fresh curds, 

 1 bruise the lumps on a grinding stone or in an 



earthen pan, or mortar, with a spatula. After this 



-'on, put them into a j

,vith lime, may be mixed with it, according to the 



be taken that the addition of colour made to the 

 nixture of curds and lime may contain very little 

 , else the painting will be less durable. When 

 oats of this paint have been laid on, it may le 

 led with a piece of woollen cloth, or other proper 



laid on and polished, as it dries spot lilv and has no 

 ell. If it be required to give it more durability in 

 ices exposed to moisture, do over the painting after 

 has beeu polished with the white of an egg ; thispro-
