Try Irish Potatoes, Now.

Irish potatoes may be planted nor
with as much certainty of success as at
any period of the year. Planted now,
they will come to maturity much ear
lier than if delayed till close of winter
Maturing as they will earlier in the
season, the first crop can then be re-
moved, and another planted immedi-
ately upon the same land. We may
easily raise two crops of potatoes on
the same ground in one season, even
when the first planting is delayed till
March. L have lately been shown
some very fine Clearly Rose' potatoes,
the product of a second planting made
in June.
Potatoes planted now will come up
and be cut down several times during
the winter by the frost. This makes
little or no difference, however, as all
below the ground will continue to grow
slowly, it may be, yet surely; and
thus, when the mild weather of spring
comes on, the plant has nothing to do
but to put up its stem again and go
right Off to growing. Then, in Il few
weeks, you will have potatoes fit for
the table. Try q few now.-B. ". H.,

Whitewashes.

T. p, W., Jr., of Nanafalia, Ala,
writes: t'You will please give through
your columns the ingredients for max
ing permanent whitewash, and
oblige."
One bushel good unslaked lime,
half a gallon of salt, and three pounds
of powdered alum. Mix and put in an
open-headed barrel capable of holding
| liquids. Add water enough to slake-
cold water if the lime is fresh; if not
entirely fresh the water should be
warm. Stir during the shaking pro-
cess, adding water as required to keep
the mixture about as thick as mush.
Thin to about the consistency of cream
when to be used, and apply with a
| brush.
This makes a very good, cheap
| whitewash, and one we suppose, about
as durable as any. It answers very
well for fences and out-buildings, and
when other colors than white are de-
sired they may be made by adding
some inexpensive coloring matter to
|suit the fancy.
I Another much finer and more bril-
liant whitewash may be made as fol-
lows
/ Take half bushel of. nice unsIaked
lime and slake it with boiling water
covering the vessel during the process
to keep in the steam. Strain the liquid
through fine sieve, and having dis
solved a peck of clean salt in as small a
quantity Of boiling water as will take
it into solution, add the two together.
Next stir in boiling hot three pounds of
ground rice made to Il thin paste then
half a pound of Spanish whiting and
one pound of white glue. The glue
will have been previously prepared by
soaking a few hours in cold water, and
then, having been taken out of the wa
ter, melting over a slow fire in a small
vessel placed within a larger one con-
tanning. water. To this mixture add
five gallons Of pure water and let stand
three days, when it will be ready for
use. 1t must be applied boiling hot.
One pint will cover about one square
yard. Well suited to both inside and
outside walls. Stand exposure to wealth
er almost equal to Oil paint, and will
retain its brilliancy for years.-Dlobile

Balky Horses.

The brain of a horse seems to enter
tain but one thought at a time; for
this reason continued whipping is out
Of the question, and only confirms his
stubborn resolve. But if you can by
any means change the direction of his
mind, give him q new subject to think
of, nine times out of ten you will have
no further trouble in starting him.
AS simple trick as Il little pepper,
aloes or the like thrown back on his
tongue, will often succeed in turning
attention to the taste in his mouth.
sSThe pair of cattle to a log chain
around the horses neck" is an intri-
cate and expensive. remedy, and a
gbod many people may no. be so
lucky as your Fond du Lac man, in
having yoke of cattle handy for the
occasion.
y A simpler and cheaper remedy that
will result far differently, is to take n
couple of turns. of common wrapping
Irvine, such as grocers use, around the
foreleg just below the knee, tight
enough for the horse to feel, and tie in
a bow knot. AT the first cluck he will
generally so dancing off, and after go
ing a short distance you can get out
and remove the string, to prevent in
jury to the tendon in your further
drive.
The first lesson in this simple pro-
cess was in Lexington subsequent eN-
perience has proved its utility. when
applied to ballly horses. The philoso-
ply of the appliance is something on
the same principle as that whereof we
once read for preventing hens from
scratching up the garden. "Put gaf1s
or spurs on the hen, reversing them
instead of the points up, have them
pointing downward. Then, when the
hen lifts leg to scratch, as it descends
the point of the spur catches in the
ground, placing that foot forward;
and the stroke with the other leg is
attended with like results, until the
hen walks herself right out of the
ground.-I5.f, Field and Farm.
