INGS. Nothing adds so iuch to the ap earance of farm buildings as bright A unchanging colors. It costs a rent deal to keep houses aud barns itinted, but it is well worth the ioney, not merely because of the in reased durability, but because of the nproved appearance. Nothing spells rosperity in such fair letters, written trge, as well piinted farm buildings. Paint, however, is dear, and for a >ng time laimers who desire to keep ilng firfst-class shape have been )oking for a cheap paint or a white rash that will stand the weather and .ot become instfad (if a clear white dirty drab in a few weeks or months.. ,he United States government has cen looking after this, as it does fter alhnost everything touching farm ire, and has.hlt upon a whitewash for its ight houses witich shortld stand rough :On(litiois~.

It should be ap plied hot, for which purpose it can be kept inl a portable furnace." There is nothing in the above that is not within the reach of every reader. lie can buy the .unaterial, except )ossi) ly the ground rice, and lie can buy that aid have it ground in the coffee mill ir with his own farm mill, can do all tire mixing, and apply it, and having ap plied .it to -one building lie can soon determine ivhethier he wants to, go ;round the farm and make his farmr the envy of all observers. lThe past end of t le President's house in Washington is eimnlellishet with thii3wltewash, and if it is good enoug~lior'the White House it is good enough for. anybody else's house, or barn.
