INCOAIBUSTIBLE WASH.

To make cheap wash for tie
roofs of buildings, take sufficient
quantity of good stone lime and
slack it carefully in n box or mortar
bed, to prevent the escape of steam.
and after Stacking, pass it tllrou ID
sieve. To every six quarts of this
lime add one quart Of rock salt and
one gallon of water. The mixture
should be boiled and SKINNED clean.
To every five gallons of this, add,
by slow degrees, three-fourths Of
pound of potash, and four quarts Of
fine sand. Coloring matter may be
added. Apply it with a common
paint brush. A writer, in speaking
of this wash, observes: sit looks
better than paint, and is as durable
as slate. 1t will stop small leaks in
the roof, prevent moss from grows
ing over and rotting the wood, and
render the roof incolnbustible from
sparks falling onit When applied
to brick work, it renders the bricks
utterly impervious to rain or wet,
and endures a longer time than any
paint / ever used. Tie expense is a

THE DEVILS FRUIT.

In the Agricultural" department

Potatoes were first introduced at
Moscow by a Mr.. Rowland, eighty
or ninety years ago. At first the
people would neither plant nor
touch them, saying they were the
devils fruit, given to him on his
complaining to God that he had no
fruit, when he was told to search in
the earth for some, which he did
and found potatoes. A cu,ious

credit to Sir Walter Raleigh for hav-

THE WATER MILL,

Listen to the water mill,
ALI the livelong day
How the clicking of the whsel
Wears the hours away.
Languidly the autumn wind
Stirs the greenwood leaves;
From the field the reapers sing,
binding up the sheaves;
And II memory Ger my mini
As spell il cast;
The mill will never grind
With the water that is past.
Take the lesson to yourself,
Loving heart and true;
Golden years are tieeting by;
Youth Ii passing. too.
Strive to make the most of life
Lose no happy day.
Time will newer bring YOU buck
Chances swept away.
Leave no tender word unsaid-
Love while love shall Inst
The mill will never grind
With the water that is past.
Work while yet the daylight shines
Man OF thought and will;
Never does the streamlet glide
Useless by the mill.
Wait not till tomorrow sun
Beams upon Your way,
All that You can call your own
Lies in this to-day.
Power, intellect and health
May not always last
The mill can not grind
With the water that is past.
