MRI€UraiRM, Whitewashing—Good Whitewash. This is a subject upon which our fann ers require 'line upon line and precept upon precept.' Whitewash is one of the most valuable articles in the world when properly applied. It prevents not only the decay of wood, but conduces greatly to the healthiness ot all buildings, whether of wood or stone. Outbuildings and fenc es, when not painted, should be supplied once or twice every year with a good coat of whitewash, which should be prepared in the following way: Take a cleau, wa ter tight barrel or other suitable cask, and put into it half a bushel of lime, Slack it hy pouring water over it, boiling hot, and in sufficient quantity to cover it five inches deep, and stir it briskly till thor oughly slacked. When the slacking has been effected, dissolve it in water, and add two pounds of sulphate of zinc, and ot common salt. These will cause the wash to harden, and prevent its cracking, which gives an unseemly appearance to the work. If desirable, a beautiful cream color may be communicated to the above wash, by adding three pounds of yellow ochre, or a good pearl or lead color, by the addition of lamp vine or ivory black. For fawn color, add four pounds of umber—Turkish or American—(the latter is the cheapest,) one pound of Indian red, and one pound com mon lampblack. For common stone color, add four pounds of raw umber, and two pounds lampblack. This wash may be applied with a com mon whitewash brush, and will be found much superior both in appearance and du rability to common whitewash. From the Farmer and Oardcner. What Kind of Root Crops Shall Far mers Attempt to Raise ? Much has been said to induce farmers to raise root crops for feeding stock in win ter, but still comparatively few roots, ex cept turnips and rutabagas, are raised by the farmers of Pennsylvania. The chief reason why farmers have not attempted this work more generally, I think, is because they know that carrots and parsnips, the best of roots, are very difficult to raise, without too much labor in hand weeding to render them profitable. Nobody, 1 pre sume, doubts the value of carrots and pars nips as food for stock. Horses eat carrots in winter with great avidity, and they are exceedingly beneficial to them. For cows, no better roots can be raised than either carrots or parsnips. Put farmers generally, do not know how to cultivate them with horse hoes, and carrot cleaners, or they have not the proper tools, and are slow to buy them. Now, while I advise all enterpris ing young farmers to learn how to raise the roots referred to, by means of horse hoe, v MHI F. J. HOFFMAN.

Consumption, to which, unfortu nately, so many predisposing causes exist. Youth and age are alike subject to its ravages. can name one or more of his acqnaiutances who is sub ject to some form of lung or tiiroat complaint, which, if not attended to in season, inevitably consigns the suf ferer to a premature grav. To such, help is at hand if they will but avail themselves of it. and hope.—the har binger of brighter days.—may be awakened without fear of chilling disappointment. L'r O. l*tiM.PS BROWN'S ACACLVN BALSAM does just what is claimed for it. and may be relied upon by the sick as being the most success ful in curing lung and throat disorders, of any remedy known at the present day. The many phases assumed by Consumption justifies the apprehension of those who have reason to fear its approach, either from constitu tional or hereditary tendency. While the discoverer of this remedy does not believe that people should bo constantly dosing themselves with medicines there are many cases where disease is too long allowed to remain unchecked in the system ; and a slight cough, regarded at lirst a* simply an annoyance, ceases only with the life o! the patient. An impure state of the blood, through debilitation of the lungs, rills the system with morbid humor*, and pulsation becomes feeble or acceler ated to a feverish intensity—the heart, liver, and kid neys, separately performing functions of vital necessity to our well being, are impeded in their regular action— the digestive organs falter in their task, and refuse to perforin the process of separating tie nutritious elements from food, and the whole mental being is well nigh ready to sink under the burden of life. The patient so afflicted, accounts his case a complication of disorders, and often refuses to resort to medication from his thorough dis belief in any prospect of cure.
