Yellow oehre is used for floor painting. This dries quiek

To Remove Warts. —Pare off tho eoarse part of tin

a goose quil sharpened to a small point, dip it in thi
aquafortis only to obtain a very small amount, and rub i*
over the top of the wart about twiee a day until eured.
and the wart will leave without soreness or eeremony if
enough is applied. The juiee of a eommon milk weed
applied 2 or three times a day for a week, will eure neal
ly every wart, and often in less than a weeks time.

Whitewash for Woodwork.
To render whitewash inure durable
to the wash when prepared small purlin
of sulphate of zine and eommon salt. T
wash may bo prepared by plaeing in i-
water-tight barrol half a bushel, mure or
less, of fresh or quick lime, and pour in
enough boiling water to eover it and a few
inehes over, then stir till well slacked.
Then add to this quantity three pounds of
the sulphate of zine and one pound of eom
mon salt and enough water to reduee it to
the eonsisteney of eream. Applv with a
brush, and it will harden in a few days.
The details may be modified, retain
iug the ingredients. 1 made a white
wash with a light eream eolor by
using good hydraulie eement fresh
and in powder for mixing with tho water,
and then adding, Id about the *ame propor
tion as above, the sulph#to of zine and salt,
and as much fine, rlofin s.md as eould be
stirred up with it, and applied evenly with
a brush. The waterlimo alono, with water
and the fine sand, will make an applieation
that will last several times as long as eom
mon whitewash when applied to the sides
of eoarse wooden buildings where wind and
storms do not beat with violenee. Hard
and frequont storms will gradually wear off
the eoating, but it will last longer in any
ease than simple lime wash. Tne propor
tions of the ingredients when tho sulphate
of zine and salt are used are one pound of
sulphate and six ounees of salt to every
peek of the lime. Another modiliea
tion is made of one poek of water
lime, fresh lime one peek, two
pounds sulphate of zine and one pound
eaeh of yellow oehre and burnt umber, to
give it a soft brown eolor. Still another
applieation is to add four pounds of riee
flour to eaeh half bushel of lime, stirring
till well intermixed. 1n all these prepara
tions it is bost to apply enough boiling
water (about one third) to the fresh lime in
the barrel to slaek the lime to powder, and
when this is completed add enough water
to give it the consisteney of eream after
stirring thoroughly. The sulphate of zine
1whito vitrioli may be had of druggists or
dealers in paints. There aro many modi
fieations of these mixtures pr-
greater or less value. They are \
