Whitewashing.

Good wlitewash. well applied to fences,
rough siding, and the walls, and ceilings of
buildings, has highly sanitary influence,
as well as being in the highest degree anti
septic and preservative in its effects. To
be durable, whitewash should be prepared
in the following manner:-Take the very
best stone lime. and slack it in q close tub,
covered with a cloth to preserve the steam.
Salt-as much as can be dissolved in the
wateruSed for Stacking and reducing thewash
to the requisite degree of tluidity-should
be applied, and the whole mass carefully
strained and thickened with 4 small guam
tity of sand. the purer and finer the better
\ few pounds of wheat flour mixed as
paste may be added, and will give rerma-
nency and durability to the mass, especially
when applied to the exterior surface of
buildings. With pure lime, properly slack
ed and mixed with twice its weight of fine
sand and siftcd house ashes (oak or hickory
is to he preferred in equal proportions,
almost any color may be made by the addi-
ton Of pigments. Granite, slate, freestone
and other shades may be initiated. and
without any detriment of the durability of
the wash This covering is very often ap-
piled and with good effect, to underpinning
stone fences. roofs and the walls Of barns,
and other eutbuildings. Probably, how
ever, the pure whitewash is more healthy
than the colorcd, as its alkalescent proper
ties are superior and when used in cellars,
kitchens and sleeping apartments. produces
salutary results. No person who regards
the health of his family, should neglect to
apply 4 coat of it every spring. Country
places, cspecilly farm ont-houses, fences,
&C., are greatly improved in appearance by
an annual ceat of good whitewash, and will
add to their permanency from twenty-five
to thirty-three per cent.-Ed. Germantown

Aiming for the Best Quality.

Bring good thing to market, and you
will be crowded with customers. You will
not only get more. but considerably more,
on many things.
Look at the grapes Of the best varieties
fully grown and ripencd, and see what an
advance they will bring. There is no glut
with such grapes. You cannot raise enough:
that's the difficulty. And so it is with
every product.
If the market IS dull introduce superior
article, and you give it activity. You not
only sell where others fail to sell ut all.
but you sell at fair advance on the nomi-
nal price. You can sell superior thing at
any time. And when the market is buoy
ant, then it is that you are king of the
board. 1t is then the price is advanced,
and you get the benefit.
And it is a pleasure to sell a good thing,
whether fruit, beef, grain, butter, cheese,
whatever it may be. You not only go to
market with confidence, but you hold your
article while You have it on hand with the
same assured feeling. You feel safe. You
are safe. You take pride i'll the thought
that you have the article.
Is all this nothing? Then sell and it
will he something. 1t will line your peck
cts. and get you a reputation. We have
known things to be seld on reputation
alone.
But you can raise good quality just as
well as a poor You can raise Just as much
of it.
Where do our best things come from ?
From our best producers, our most intelli-
gent, our most honored men. They see
how it is. and do accordingly.
1t is an inferior article that gluts the
market: good one never.
1t is safe then to aim at No. |; it is prof
liable; it is reputable. Of Agricwl.

The Use of Peas as RenOyator vs.. Clover.

In practice of years, l have found both
peas and red clover good renovators of a
worn-out soil: but their action is, perhaps,
not generally understood, OF, perhaps, |
don't understand it. However, here is my
item: SOW peas on poor land in spring:
when they are enc foot high, and inst as
they commence to flower, l pillow them
under and sow again, and when the second
crop of vines attains bloom, and the peas
are half grown, again turn undr with
the plow. BY this, inasmuch as the pea
gains much of its food from the atmosphere.
while at the same time, it penetrates it's
coarse, strong roots deep into the soil in
search of additional food the gain is a large
amount of vegetable matter to mingle with
the surface soil, and deepen eration, and
cerrespendingly give heat and aid chemi-
cal action by means of the root punctures.
In the use of clover, we are first con-
strained to the use of a certain amount of
plaster of Paris, which, by its cemponents
dissolving and mingling in the soil, get
loose, and change the elements therein, and
in SO doing, give aid and vitality to the
clover, which as it penetrates deeply, takes
up from below 4 certain amount of phos-
phate and potash and conveys them into
the stalk ready to form seed. which ensues
about the mldtile OF september, Supposlns
the seed to have been sown in March or
early April. This crep plowed under in
September gives vegetable matter in the
surface, deepens and erates the soil, and,
at the same time, it has drawn from below
and deposited in its stalks which l now
call vegetable NATTER certain amount of
potash, etc. that without its agency would
otherwise have lain dormant, or beyond
the communicating action of congenial
growth agents.-Journal Of 1gricuhure.

Mushroom Culture.

Mushrooms are not cultivated to any con-
siderable extent in this country. a few
beds here and there. mainly among our
vegetable gardens, yield scanty supply
for a constantly increasing market.
The numerous inquiries for information,
in regard to the culture of mushrooms,
which have lately reached us, show that
many of our people are DESTROYS of trying
to grow a sufficient quantity for home use,
is no more. 1t is certainly very simple
matter to grow mushrooms; still it requires
some little practice, and considerable care
to produce the best results
The first thing needed is pit, cellar, or
building, where the the temperature Of the
bed will not be subjected to the changes Of
our variable climate. A common cellar or
old outbuilding will do for the summer;
and as it is at this season most persons will
attempt mushroom culture, we will suppose
some such place is selected.
Gather fresh horse-dreppings from the
stable, discarding the straw used for bed
ding. Place the manure directly under
cover and fork it over occasionally, or every
merning when fresh lot is added, and to
this add about one fourth the bulk of fresh
loan from an old pasture. If manure
enough can be procured at one time, then
mix soil and all together and turn it over,
and allow the mass to commence heating
before removing to the beds. When the
mass has become warmed through two OF
three days will generally be sufficient pre-
pare the beds, four feet wide, and as long
as desired Make the beds six or eight
inches deep by carefully spreading the COM
post evenly, and pressing it down firmly
with the back of spade. When the beds
have been formed, moisten them, but not
soak with water, and then cover the whole
surface with straw.
In few days, the temperature of the
beds will rapidly increase, often reaching
1909, then again recedins to so OF 80 =
BY plunging thermometer in the bed,
the exact temperature can be ascertained.
When the bed has cooled to So or 90, it
is time to add the spawn, which can he OBJ
tanned at any of our seed stores. Break
up the spawn into pieces of the size Of a
walnut, and with dibble insert the pieces,
plecing them about two inches deep, and
nine or ten inches apart each way. Cover
again with straw, and allow the bed to
remain week OF two, or until the spawn
has spread through the bed; then take off
the straw and cover the entire surface two
inches deep with good, rich loan, smooth
| inc it down with the spade. Cover again
with straw, and wait for the appearance OF
the mushrooms. If the bed should get toe
dry, warm water must be added; but where
the beds are inside of close building, very
little water will be required before the first
! picking.
Beds will usually produce continuously
! for two or three months after they once
begin. Sometimes new bed will not pro
duce any mushrooms for a long time and
then start and be very productive. We
mention this, as some persons get impatient
and destroy bed that would have yielder
fine crop il let alone fer only short time
