Formula for Brilliant Whitewash. 



I give herewith receipt for a good whitewash for both 

 inside and outside work. It will retain its brilliancy for 

 years. 



Half a bushel of unslacked lime, slack with warm water, 

 cover it during the process to keep the steam, strain the 

 liquid through a fine sieve or strainer ; add a peck of salt 

 previously well dissolved in warm water ; three pounds of 

 ground rice boiled to a thin paste and stir in boiling hot ; half 

 pound of powdered Spanish whiting and a pound of glue 

 which has been previously dissolved over a slow fire, and 

 add five gallons hot water to the mixture, stir well and let 

 it stand for a few days, cover up from the dirt. It should be 

 put on hot. Coloring matter may be put in and made of any 

 shade, Spanish brown, yellow ochre, or common clay, etc. 



It is well to always strain before using in order to pre- 

 vent any gritty substance from getting into the valves of 

 the sprayer and interfering with its proper operation. With 

 whitewash thin and smooth no difficulty will be experienced. 



Bran Mash for Cut Worms. 



This is made by mixing molasses, bran and paris green 

 together, using one-quarter pound paris green, one quart of 

 cheap molasses and ten pounds of bran. Either scatter over 

 the land before planting, or put on the ground around the 

 plants. You will have to be careful not to allow any animals 

 around when you are using it, as it is deadly poison.
