Preparation Of WhiteWasli.

Whitewash is one of the most valuable
articles in the world, when properly APP
piled. 1t prevents not only the decay Of
wood, but conduces greatly to the health
ness of all buildings, whether wood or
stone. Outbuildings and fences, when not
painted, should be supplied once or twice
year with good coat Of whitewash,
which should be prepared in the follow
ing way:
Take a clean, water-tight barrel, or 9TH
er suitable cask, and put into it half
bushel of lime. Slack it by pouring wa
ter over it, boiling hot, and in sufficient
quantity to cover it five inches deep, and
stir it briskly till thoroughly Stacked.
When the Stacking has been effected,
dissolve 1T in water, and add two pounds
of sulphatc of zinc, and one of common
salt. These will cause the wash TO harden
and prevent its cracking, which gives an
unseemly appearance to the work. If de-
slrable, u beautiful cream color may be
communicated to the above wash, by adj
ding three pounds of yellow ochre; or a
good pearl lead color by the addition of
lamp, vine, or ivory black. For fawn col.
or, add four pounds umber-Turkish or
American, (the latter is the cheapest
one pound Indian red, and one pound
common lamp black. For common stone
color add four lbs. raw lumber and two
lbs. of lamp black. This wash nav be
applied with common whitewash brush,
and will be found much superior, both in
appearance and durability, to common
whitewash.

The Cathedral at Cologne.

Ofall gothic buildings, the plan of tie
Cathedral at Cologne is the most stupen-
dous; even ruin as it is, it cannot fail to
excite surprise and admiration. The legend
concerning its plan may not be known to
every one.
1t is related of the inventor of it, that in
despair of finding any plan sufficiently
great, he was walking one day by the river,
sketching with his stick upon the sand
when he finally hit upon one which pleas
ed him so much that lie exclaimed, This
shall be the plan"
II will show you one better than that !"
said voice behind HIM, and certain
black gentleman who figures in many Ger
man legends stood by him, and pulled from
his pocket a roll containing the present
plan of the cathedral. The architect, anna
zed at its grandeur, asked an explanation
of every part.
AS lie knew his soul was to be the price
oft, he occupied himself while the devil
was explaining in committing its proper
tions carefully to memory. Having done
this, he remarked it did not please him,
and he would not take it.
The devil seeing through the cheat, ex-
claimed, in his rage, "You may build your
cathedral according to this plan, but you
shall never finish it, This prediction
seems likely to be verified, for though it
was commenced in 1249, and continued for
two hundred and fifty years, only the nave
and one tower to half its proposed height

The veterinary editor of the Prairie
FarMer says: great many horses are in
the habit otstriking one leg against anotl-
er, and good deal Of ingenuity has been
ct different times exercised in search of q
remedy Tor this very troublesome practice.
Both the lore and hind legs are subject to
cutting, the latter, perhaps, most frequent
ly ; but i'll them it is confined to the fet-
lock joint, whereas in the fore legs the
horse may either the fetlock, the leg
Just above the pasterns, or just under the
knee, where it is called n speedy cut, irem
its occurring chiefly in fast action.
1t is desirable, before applying reme-
dy, to ascertain, possible, the cause, and
the part which strikes, whether the shoe
or the foot, and if the latter, what part of
it, Many horses strike from weakness, and
cease to do so when they gain strength
and condition. This is more particularly
observable with young horses. Others cut
from faulty conformation of the limbs,
which are sometimes too close to each
other; and sometimes the toe is turned
too much out, or too much in.
The objects to be kept in view in shoe
ing such horses must be to remedy as much
as we can the faulty action, and to remove,
- PoSolDio, thc part WHICH cuts. Inc part
OF the foot which strikes is generally that
between the toe and the inside quarter,
sometimes the inside quarter itself but
very rarely the heels of the shoe. If the
horse turns his toe in, in all probability he
wears the inside of the shoe most; and, if
SOFT should be made much thicker thar the
outside. If the contrary the outside heel
should be thicker than the inside. The
shoe should be bevelled Off on the inside
quarter, which should also be free from
nails.
In the hind legs we often find that
three-quarter shoe will prevent cutting
when other plans fail for here the part
which cuts is not situated SO far forward
as in the fore legs, so that the removal of
the iron altogether from the inside quarter
will often accomplish our aim. 1t some
times happens that every plan we can
adopt will not prevent cutting, and then
the only resource is the adoption of boots
or straps.
