Buy Ihe best bleached glue if the walls are
to be white or some light tint OF dark, it is
immatelial, so the glue is clean, and use it
in the proportion of a quarter of a pound OF
glue to eight pounds of whiting. Soak the
glue over night; in the morning pour oil the
water as the glue simply swells while soak
ing Add fresh water, put 1t in tin pail
and set that IN a kettle of boiling water
When dissolved stir into 1t the whiting, add
ing enough water, to make it, after mixing
of the same consistency as common white
wash. 1t may be tinted to any color desired
and is applied with whitewash brush. II
the color is rubbed smooth IN little water
first and then mlxel with the wash, 1t will be
more even. If the walls have been previous
ly whitewashed, scrape away all that viii
come off, and wash with a solution of white
vitriol, two ounces in pail Of water. The
vitriol will be deCOmposed, forming zinc
white, and plaster of Paris, to which the cal
Ginning easily adherts. 1t is important tC
dissolve the glue in hot water bath, for II
scorched by too great heat, its tenacity is lin
paired or destroyed. Whiting is simply
chalk freed from impurities, and reduced tC
a fine powder, and, Is also known under tht
names of Paris and Spanish white, though
the latter is really white earth found ia
Spain.
There is a great difference IN whltewasl
brushes; and tie beauty of the work, as well
as the ease Of performing it, depends very
much on good brush, making 1t well worth
while to pay the difference between a GOOD
one and cheap one. For the inexperienced
il is more difficult to lay on tints evenly than
pure white.
For those who have not had experience in
using or dissolving glue, II is well to say
that the dry glue should be spread in broad
fiat basin, like shallow milkpan, and cold
water enough poured on it to fairly cover it
then let it lie over night, or for a day when

The work of putting large harvest safely
into the stack Is one requiring great deal OF
skill and persevering endurance; promptness
often puts it out of danger Of heavy storms
which add greatly to the labor of cutting and
do great damage TO the grain when allowed
to stand uncut after becoming ripe or in the

or three gavels at time and thus save
great deal OF travel and admit of the sheave;
being thrown into shock rows. Three mer
in this way can do as much as four in the or
binary way. The speed required in running
from sheaf TO sheaf may be put INTO the
movement of the hands in doing the work
The stacking may be done in much more
satisfactory manner if the binding is well
done. The straw should be gathered up as
straight as possible and bound with good
sized band about onethird Of the length OF
the sheaf from the butt.
1t Is better to put two dozen sheaves in {
shock than one, if well capped, and the straw
is in condition to dry out The shocks stand
up better, and in case of heavy rams, tho
grain and straw are much better protected
than in ANAL ones.
Oats to be Of good quality in grain an(
straw should be cut before fully ripe and have
at least half days sun before being bound
1t is one objection to reaper that it will no
admit of this. While the top of the gavel is
dry it should be rolled up so that the dry
straw Will be inside the sheaf- western Ru

A great ma,v farmers actually lose from
one to ten cents ser pound on their wool sim
ply because tic Heeces are not put up in a
neat and mar table manner. Dealers can
not be dccciy . A purchaser who buys
large quantij Of wool both in Michigan
and Illinois e. ~ year, says he can afford to
pay two or tie cents more per pound tor
the woods he bt.rs ia Ohio than those he pur-
chases in Micn-an, solely because of the
difference in - tying up in the two states,
as he can get more in the eastern market for
woods that are tied up in Ohio than he can
get for the Michigan wool, when, In fact, the
Michigan woods are sometimes the best in
quality.
The proper way, he says, to do up wool is
to lay the fleece on the table, turn in the
head and tail, and turn in the tlanks and roll
it up, commencing at the tail, tying ii with
two strings 10 keep the roll in place, aEd,then
with one string across the ends This is suf-
fcient. 4 fleece thus tied is light, easily
handled and examined, and can be felt all
through. 1t does not require thorough eX-
animation TO determine whether there Is any
thing in ltthat is not wool.
The wool-buycrs prefer 10 have the fleece
loose, light to handle and elastic. In Ohio,
the woods of which state are always quoted
from two 10 three cents higher than Mlchi-
gan woods OF the same quality, the flecces are
rolled up, not packed, and tied across twice
one way and once the other, according to the
custom in Michigan. Hence the fleeces are
loose, light and elastic. When a buyer OF
wool apprehends that there are taglocks and
sweepings IN the ieeces you can rest assured
that he will not offer full price for the wool

CURE FOB POLL EvIL-Poll evil, if discov-

dispersed by using the following mixture
One ounce oil OF thyme; one ounce OIL OF
amber; two ounces spirits of ammonia. Re
move all necessary name, shake the mixture
well, and apply by dropping on the swollen
parts and rubbing well 10, three times daily
This often breaks up Inflammation, and cures
If the Inflammation forms and discharges, re
move the name and cleanse the parts with
soft soap and water; introduce in the orifice
piece OF arsenic the size of a green garden
pea, wrapped in tissue paper and thin gauze
and force this down with an old renholder to
the bottom Of the oritice. If bad case, toll
low up this treatment for two weeks, every

as the discharge grows less, use arsenic twice
and once each week until the oriticc heals
over. Then keep the parts clean and oil oc

PICKING OFF POTATO BLossOMs.-We OBJ
serve some discussion IN the papers on the
practical utility of picking the blossoms OF
from growing potato plants to increase the
growth of the tubers. According to the theo-
~, this would be the result, the formation OF
seed always tending to exhaust more or less
the vitality of the plant Many years ago a
statement came from Europe on this subject,
and we were told that the crop would be in
creased one-third by carefully removing all
the blossom. We gave it careful test in
rows side by side, but ordinary measuring
did not indicate the slightest difference,
which must have Eeen very small if any
probably requiring more refined weighing TO
distinguish It, and of no consequence what

There is vast difference in the flavor OF
eggs. Hens fed on clear, sound grain and
kept on a clean grass run give much finer
favored eggs than hens that have access to
stable and manure heaps and eat all kinds OF
filthy food. Hens feeding on fish and onions
flavor their eggs accordingly, the same as
COWS eating onions or cabbage, or drinking
offensive water, impart bad taste to the
milk and butter. The richer the food the
higher the color of the eggs. Wheat and
corn give eggs the best color, while feeding
on buCkwheat makes them colorless, render
log them unfit for some confectionery pur

The Massachusetts PlonmaD says; Some
farmers make it a practice to keep their poul-
try in their orchards from early spring until
cold weather sets IN, and they find it pays
them for so doing. a picket fence should be
built around the orchard, high enough to pre-
vent their flying over, with suitable house
or shed in one corner of the yard to shelter
them at night. Thus situated the poultry
will thrive and prosper keeping themselves
in good condition, and the increase in eggs
will be greatly augmented and their useful,
ness and value enhanced to their owners at
least, on account Of the thousand myriads OF
insects and worms which they Destroy and
which will more than repay the labor and
cost of building the fence. BY keeping them
enclosed in this manner large number OF
fowls may bc retained in an orchard; and the
continued scratching done by the fowls will
prove advantageous both to the soil and the
trees themselves.

The whisky Raids,

PROGRESS OF THE RING CAMPAIGN.
here is not much To be said to-day con
corning the recent whisky seizures in ad-
ditiOn to the facts set forth in yesterI la US
STAR. Thus far the operations of the SeCre-
taTy have been confined entirely to the west,
but ii is confidently expected that within the
next ten days many eastern houses. which
are suspected OF evading the law, win be
seized The ring" and its ramificationS eX-
tend from Maine to California and the pol
icy OF the government henceforward is to be
an aggressive one. In numbers it is potent.
and those connected with its illicit transac-
tons are bound together in StricteSt secresy.
Its paid agents have fiOuriShed in this city
for years. and through them it is believed
more than ore emplOye OF the internal rev.
TO thwart the operators. heretofore made has
succeeded, because of the fact that the pro-
posed tactics OF the government were duly
sent to the operators by persons yet I'M
Known. who furnished information which
could not have been in the possession of any
one not employed in the revenue department
The amount of whisky seized will aggre-
gate many million gallons. Tue law against
Illicit operations Is quite plain, and the
penalties exacted severe. The evidence coll
lected by the government, and already in
possession of the Secretary of the Treasury
Is iBdiSputible. Hence il follows that judg-
meDt in nearly every case can be obtained
which will be followed with speedy execu-
ton. Not only does the evidence collected
strike at the distillers, but in addition IL is
believed TO be sufficient to convict nearly
every revenue official known to be or sus.
pected 10 be in league with the ring opera
tiOns.
Secretary Bristow to-day received tele
grams advising him of the seizure of several
packages of whisky known to have been
shipped from the distilleries OF "crookeiv
dealers.
Mr.. Douglass feels naturally indignant
that any of his employees should be charged
with being I'm the confidence of these law
breakers. He says there may be a black
sheep or two in bis department, but as far a
the majority of the employees under him or
concerned he is willing to vOuch to the fullest
extent for their integrity.
