PREPARATION OF WHITEWAsH.-

PREPARATION OF WHITEwAsH.-
Whitewash is one of the most valua-
BILE articles in the world, when pro-
perly applied. It prevents not only
the decay of wood, but conduces
greatly to the healthiness of all build
ings, whether wood OF stone. Out
buildings and fences when not painted,
should be supplied orce or twice a
year with a good coat of whitewash,
which should be prepared in the fol-
lowing way: Take clean, water
tight barrel, or other suitable cask,
and put into it half bushel of lime.
Slake it by pouring water over it,
boiling hot, and in sufficient quantity
to cover it FIVE inches deep, and stir it
briskly until thoroughly slaked. When
the slaking has been effected, dissolve
it in water, and add two pounds of
sulphate of zinc, and one of common
salt. These will cause the wash to
harden and prevent its cracking, which
gives an uuseemly 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 good pearl lead color
by the addition of lamp, vine or ivory
black. For fawn color, add four
pounds umber, Turkish or American,
the latter is the cheapest, one pound
Indian red, and one pound Of common
lamp-black. For common stone color,
add four pounds of raw umber and
two pounds of lamp-black. This wash
may be applied with common white
wash brush, and will be found much
superior, both in appearance and dura.
bility, to common whitewash.

How DEEP TO PLANT.-W. J

HOW DEEP TO PLANT.-N. y.
Beal, Professor of Botany and Hor-
ticulture at the Agricultural Col
lege, Lansing: Michigan, has pub
lished the results of planting corn
and peas at different depths, vary
ing from one inch to one foot. The
land was sandy and dry as dust at
the time Of planting, but the corn
planted only one inch deep came
up first and kept ahead Of all the
other let's through the season, al
though that planted a foot deep did
tolerably we'll. Peas covered nine
inches deep did as we'll as any, and
stood the drought better than those
that were covered but two or four
inches. Our own experience in
planting on heavy lands is decided
ly unfavorable to the practice of
covering seeds Of any kind more
than an inch deep. The present
spring, while the ground was dry
as ashes, Of seeds planted about an
inch deer, many Of them failed to
germinate until they had lain in
the ground several weeks, Or until
soaked by rain. During the
height Of the drought We sowed a
field with millet and fearing the
seed would be a long time coming
up, We ventured to try the expert
ment,. for once, Of working the
seed in with a cultlvator. The
result was most disastrous, as
a heavy rain followed the SOW
ing immediately, soaking and pack
ing the soil to such an extent that
the seeds came up very poorly,
much Of it failing entirely. Most
Of the field and garden seeds have
come up this year in battalions,
those planted deepest coming up in
good time, while those nearer the
surface remained dormant until
after the heavy rains in June. It
would seem that no definite rule can
be adopted as to the depth Of plant
ing which will not require the
judgment Of the planter at the time,
and even then he may widely miss
the mark.

Mr.. B. asks some adyice:as to how he
and his brother farmers in Randolph
can get out of their trouble the coming
season. Then in the next sentence he
tells the whole story, in these words :
Sour pastures, and meadows were fed

part Of winter Here ia. the effect !:
The grass roots are left unprotected
through the storm Of WINTER The
causes eff all their trouble can, be told
in these words:r 800 much stock OH
the farm" Some Of us farmers, here
in Edinburgh have been guilty Of, the,
same evil and haYei paid dear for it, as
follows. The, stock gets poor and
cannot thrive, the grass roofs are giy-
tually killed, and the ground is not
benefited by q good covering. Of grass.
We would say, to Mr.! p, for. this sea-
son, sow or drill, corn freely. and sell
of, some of your stock, and do not
pasture any of your meadows after
harvest, if you can avoid it. The root
crop isipo doubt a good one for winter
feed. In closing his, Letter Mr. p.
says: "We do not exchange views
often enough" This is a good. sug-
gestion, and We propose that, for, q

Those articles on Agriculture for
that Premium seem to be coming rath-
er slow, as l see nothing CT tkem in
the PRESS. will give YOU a few
Items:
Peter Baum raised over thirty bush
els OF wheat to the acre, about S3G
worth. How does that compare with
the dairy business?
b. Again, our friend j. 3. Machimer,
over in Randolph, raised, from trifle
less than four acres, eighteen loads Of
hay. This was the big clover and
timothy. He let it get pretty ripe.
then cut, and as soon as dry hauled in
the barn threshed ten bushels of seed +,
then fed the Stalks and chafl, keeping
ten head OF horses and colts and some
thirty head Of sheep up to March 1st.
Mr.. Machamer tells me he had on Il
load from sixteento eighteen hundred /;
as he sold some twenty loads he is
sure he has not got it too high The
seed is worth $75, and as to the valne
of the feed the reader can make his
own estimate. If Portage county can
beat that let us hear from her. Talk
about your rich Western land; our
neighborhood has its equal. Talk
about your Agricultural Colleges, will
you? Better go and serve an appren-
ticeship with such farmers. Such crops
don't grow without brains applied
There are too many people who have
toe much self conceit to learn from
their neighbors. ...t ... ... .....
Now, l have seen grass cut the past
year that did not turn off 500 pounds
Of hay to the acre, while our neighbor
Machamer's turned Off in the neigh
borhosd of four tons. Again, we find
that some land yields but tie IL bushels
of VIII eat per acre, while Mr.. Baum got
over thirty. But some will say it is in
the land. l do not believe il. Ii must
be more in the management of the
land, as l have seen some of the best
wheat | ever saw, the past season,
grow on the supposed poorest wheat
land in all the country round.
Winter still holds an icy grip on us
US, but hope it will soon slip.
j. b., of Randolph, wishes to know
w hat to do with meadows where the
grass is dead. Would advise him to
sow clover seed this month. -.
