With tussl arising for whitewash at all times of year, some of our reader» may lie glad to have published again tile recl|ie for making whitewash rec­ ommended by the department of agri­ culture at Washington it is as fol­ lows: Take one-luilf bushel utislacked lime ami slack, starting with warm water, and cover during process» to keep lu the steam. Strain liquid through tine sieve or strainer; add peck of salt previously well dissolved in water, also three pound» of rice boiled to a thin paste. Stir in boiling hot one pound Spanish whiting and oue (sound of glue which has been previously dissolved over a slow tire. Then add five gallons of hot water to the mixture, stir well and let stand for a few days covered so as to keep out the dirt. The whitewash is best applied with a small brush and should be put on hot. One pint should is* sufficient to cover a square yard of surface. There Is no whitewash which excells this for Indoor or outdoor use. It may be colored whatever shade one likes and will retain its brilliancy for years.

A bank note that had been circulated seventy-seven years was recently returned to one of the sub-treasuries. A regular old rounder, as it were. About the only conclusion that can be drawn from Aldrich’s ex­ planation is that the rubber tar­ iff was increased for a joke. An old man was arrested at Beverly on confession that he had a plan for re-organizing the G. 0. P. Maybe that ’s what will happen to the Colone in the end. whatever. In fact some of the rich est soils known are red and green gray, the latter the volcanic ash of western states. Another point that it is well to take account of is that a sandy soil loses Its fertilizing elements much sooner than do clay soils or these referred to. This brings us to the probable cause of our friend's tract falling to yield as much corn as he would like—namely, a lack of fer­ tilizer. We would suggest that he do a little experimenting with this tract next season and would I’ke him to re­ port the results. Let him apply about eight tons of manure per acre to two acres with a manure spreader, which will insure even distribution; '¿n an acre and a half apply the same amount of manure and about three tons of ground limestone per acre, which may be scattered with the manure, and on the remaining acre and a half he might apply the limestone alone While our correspondent says nothing to indicate that this tract Is sour, he says nothing which shows that It might not be. In the spring let him give these three tracts the same prep aration, plant them with seed which will give an average of three and a half stalks per hill, and at busking time let him keep accurate count of wtilch »«» enriy tafeii on by so mnny varletl«*« of appio* whluh are n puro griaui or yellow ut harvvst The wrlter ha« notisi thè «urne tendeiicy oli bis own ranch in thè <11»* of ilio New town Plppln.
