WHITEwAsH AND LIME PAINT.-The
following tells how to make good white
wash, and lime paint for out of door
purposes. 1t is cheap and durable and
should be used by every person owning
buildings. who cannot afford real paint /:
To make whitewash for farm build
ings put into a common wooden pail a
few Jumps of fresh lime, about quarter
of peck. and add water until the pail
is nearly full. When the lime is slack
ed the mixture should be about the con.
sistency of cream. This may be applied
while fresh with broad brush. If col.
or is required, some Spanish brown may
be added to make free-stone or brown
stone color, as may be desired A more
durable wash, that will answer as {
paint, is made as follows Take half /;
bushel of fresh lime, slack it in a tut
with boiling water, keeping it covered
meanwhile; when Stacked strain through
fine sieve. add seven pounds of sal
previously dissolved in hot water, tire,
pounds of ground rice boiled to THU
paste and stirred in the liquid while hot
one-half pound powdered Spanish whit
ing, and one pound of clean glue dissolve,
in hot water; to this five gallons of no
water is then added, and the whole
well stirred, when it is left to stand
few days. When wanted for use it is
be heated in large kettle and put o
hot. One pint of this will cover
square yard. and it will not wash Of
If color is desired. Spanish brown
added to suit.

FARMERS, sow WHEAT THIS
SPRING!

The following from the Maine Farmer
is as well adapted to one locality as it is
to another. 1t is good advice to farmers
everywhere. ''Raise your own Bread"
should be the watch word now: ION no
recount should farmers who have land
suitable for it, fail to sow wheat this
spring. We say on land that Is suitable;
for it is we'll known that wheat requires
a strong, dry soil, of fine filth, and suf-
ficiently well fertilized to give strong
growth of straw and insure good filling
out of the heads-but not over rich.
The failure of the crop in some instances
the past year, should influence no one
against sowing a fair breadth of this
princely grain, this king of cereals, the
present spring. The trouble has been
heretofore, that our farmers, discouraged
by some unfavorable years with this
grain, failed to sow it, and very soon
drlfted away from wheat as one of the
chief crops of the farm. This should
not govern any farmer in forming plans
for the present seasons operation and
whatever may have been your results
with wheat last year, 60 on sowing i
this year. the same as ever, and depenC
upon Il tor tie bread Of your family
We have faith to believe the soil, tn,
climate, all the needed conditions o
successfully raising wheat are possessed
by every farmer in the state; we fee
safe in advising every farmer to SOW
WHEAT THIS SPRING. Sow early; SOY
r late; sow in the middle-and we be
, lieve the result will not bring disaE
pointment."

| never knew man to be saved that
came to Christ in that way. You can
not make yourself any better. You
cannot cleanse yourself. Every day and
hour you are staying from Christ, you
are getting, worse, instead Of better.
The very act of your staying away is
sin, aud so, instead of trying to get bet
ter, and getting ready to come, just come
as you are, and be clothed with the gar
ments Of salvation. He will clothe you
with His own Righteousness. | noticed
when our war was going on, men used
to come to enlist, and the man who came
with fine suit of clothes on, and the
hod-carrier in his dirty garments, would
both have to take off his clothes and put
on the uniform of the government. And
so when men 90 into the kingdom OF
God, they have to put on the livery of
heaven. You need not dress up for
Christ, because He will strip you when
you come, and put on you the robe of
His righteousness. My friends, you can
not stand before God in your own right
eousness. Come to God as poor beg
gar, and he will have mercy upon you.
| heard some years ago Of an artist who
wanted model of the Prodigal. He
went to many institutions and prisons,
but could not get man who suited his
ideas of the Prodigal. One day, howev-
err, while walking down the street, he
met a poor, miserable tramp, and he
suited the artists eye, so he asked him
if he would be willing to sit for his por'
trait. The tramp said he would, if ht
: would pay him for it. The artist prom
ised, and set day and an hour for hin
! to come. At the appointed time, while
the artist was sitting in his studio, tn
! man came in, but he was so well dresses
the artist didn { know him, and told hin
e he had no appointment with him. Whe
U the beggar told him the circumstance:
u the artist said, What have you been do
u ing? Why, says the man, l thought
j l was going to sit for my portrait,
would get a new suit of clothes. AL
III said the artist, you won't do wante
70 you just as you were. So, when you {

GOD WANTS you.

o men and women, God wants you
A mighty conflict is in progress 1t is
the war of the centuries between truth
and falsehood, holiness and sin, good and
evil, God and the devil. This conflict
deepens. There is not a soul on earth
who does not bear a part in 1t. Each
aud every one is for or against neutral
positions in this war, there are none.
He or she that is idle is against God
and to be against him is to be in peril
of irretrievable loss. tor Jehovah will at
last certainly win. There is so much to
do and so short a time in which to do it,
that to do nothing is crime of the
deepest dye. Besides, to sit down and
sit still is personally perilOus. Resist,
or be swept away. All may, and should
work Wisdom cries, Work well. Some
can do much others but little; each
can do something; all can do more than
they dream.
