Amount of Pine Lands in Wis.
cOnSin.

The limits of the Wisconsin land
district are Town Is to state lire,
Range 9 to II east inclusive. The
highest estimate Of the number of
acres of pine lands within the area
mentioned, does not exceed 2,O0O,0 900.
The estimate includes many acres that
are almost inaccessible as we'll as all
that portion already cut over.
The Wausau district comprises at
least one-forth the pine lands of the
state allowing them for arguments
sake that there are 100000 acres
within that district and we have a to-
tai for the state Of 100000. Aver
age pine yields 5000 feet to the acre !;
as a grand total then of the stumpage
of Wisconsin, we have 40, 600, 900. 900
feet. This estimate includes vast
amount Of timber that can never be
utilized, and yet, even allowing that
every foot Is accessible, at present
rates of cutting and the business will
increase rather than diminish--the en-
tire pineries of the state will be demol-
ished within so years; true, pine grows
with wonderful rapidity, but it cannot
keep pace with the destruction now 60
ing on. Pine lands must certainly in
crease rapidly in value, and withinten
years the fact that there has been an
overstock Of lumber on hand will seem
merely whimsical. - Wisconsin Lum-

The American may kneel down with
the African, and the men from Europe
and Asia ana the Isles of the Sea, may
come and kneel down with them and
together they may say ''Our Father
which art in heaven Their father on
the earth may differ, even as the plains
Of the great desert differ from the
green mountains, or the tropical forests
from the ice fields of the Poles, but
their father in the heavens is the same.
TO each of them his hand is stretched
out with blessing.
Moreover the rich and the poor
meet together, God is the maker Of
them all their one Father.
Aye AMI the opinions of men do
not determine their birthright. The
Christian, ne Mohamedon and Pagan
the Catholic and Protestant and the

brethren. They may refuse to recog-
nize the connection much to their Faith

relation and obligations are still the
same.
King and subject, master and ser
want, teacher and pupils, parents and
children, priest and people, the christ
ian missionary and the heather, the
judge and the criminal, may all bow at
one altar and say, Our Father which
art in heaven. Remember 0 ye people
Of power and position, that those who
serve yon are your brothers and sisters.
IF they be selfish and unfaithful, SO
much the more do they need your
brotherly kindness and charity. And
remember ye toilers, and people Of pow
erty and care. that if the wealthy and
strong are unjast and ungracious and
hard, that ohev are your brothers and

their sin, to be Included in your prayer
when ye say Our Father.
Aye: # your bro theirs hate you,
still they are your brothers and all the
more for that should 1ou be pitiful and
thoughtful Of them when ye say, Our
Father which art in heaven.
Third-Our Father is in the hea-

place, beholding the evil and the good"
and "he is not far from every one ofus. "
He holds a position of authority and
power that may well give US dignity
and make Us glad.
And new we may remark

Health of Farmers.


Farmers have uuequalled natural adj
vantages for health, strength and longevity.
The statistics OF disease ana the tables o.
mortality however, are against them This
is not due to their vocation but to then
misuses Of it. No class as whole Il
probably so utterly reckless of health con
ditions. SO far as our acquaintance with
the habits Of farmers Is concerned--and II
has been extensive-it compels the conclu-
sion that as rule. the dletetic habits OF
farmers are worse than those OF any other
class, who have the means OF choosing for
themselves. Fried dishes several times
day, with several fried articles at each Il
the three meals, is one of their dic,etlc
denominations dried beef, old cheese and
pickles are among the common relishes,
while lard aud saleratus make their richer
dainties infectious aud caustic. We have
seen on farmers table fried pork, fried

withdrawing and Color-Washing.

When spring returns and paints anew
the grass with its lovely shades Of green,
and throws Il crimson garland over the
branches Of the naples, and covers the elms
and oaks with tiny quiyering leaves Of every
emerald tint, we cannot but notice the con-
trast between the brightness of nature and
the blackness Of our farmyard fences,
barns, stables, and the like. 1t costs some
thing to paint such things, aud money is
often a scarce article in the spring.time,
but by little expenditure of time and
money we can whitewash or color our
premises so that they will present a very
fresh and clean appearance. This will also
prevent the decay Of both the out.houses
and the fences, aud destroy the vermin
which Turk about the poultry houses aud
stables.
You can prepare whitewash that will
not rub off with everything that comes in
contact with it, and will also present
glossy appearance, by using skinned milk,
in lieu of water, for Stacking the lime, re-
ducing 1t to proper consistency, If you
desire to apply it to the ceilings of your
rooms land every room should be thus
cleansed and renovated every spring. take
half a bushel of unslaked lime and slake
it in frkin or pail with boiling hot milk
Then to reduce it to a proper thickness,
add one peck of fine salt dissolved in water,
one pound of glue dissolved in water, and
one-haf pound Of powdered whiting This
mixture makes most excellent whitewash,
which will neither peel nor fake of, and
cannot rub off
For putting on the wash, pail or bucket
with wire fixed across il is the most suit
able, as you eau press the brush upon it.,
and only take up small quantity Of the
wash at time, and then you can spread il
on more easily. In addition to a long.
handled whitewash brush you will require
a paint brush to use 10 the corners Of the
buildings, and between the pickets on the
fences.
Before commencing TO whitewash walls
and ceilings, they should be cleaned by pin.
ming strong cloth or towel over the broom,
and wiping off ali the dust and tiny cob
webs. II only requires little practice to
make any one skillful whtewasher, and
save few dollars which would have to be
paid out to regular workman.
To be sure, it is not the easiest work, for
II will make both your neck and arms ache
but the superior appearance and the clean.
illness will repay you for the pain. A good
workman will never let drop fall upon
the carpet, but will put his brush perpen.
