WhiteWaShing.

Outbuildings and fences, when not
painted, ought to be whitewashed once
or twice yearly, with a good coat of
lime wash. 1t prevents decay of the
wood, and adds greatly to the appear
ance of neatness and healthfulness. The
cellar too, under the dwelling house
should be thoroughly cleansed and aired
at this season of the year, and the walls
and ceiling well whitened. The lime is
great purifier and will keep the cellar
sweet and wholesome. A good wash
for cellars and outbuildings may be pre-
pared in the following way: Put half q
bushel Of lime into clean water-tight
barrel, and pour over it boiling water
enough to cover it four or five inches
deep, stirring it briskly until the lime
is thoroughly slaked. After the shaking
is completed add water gradually; stir
ring it well until thin enough to use.
Then add pound of salt and two
pounds of sulphate of zinc. This will
cause the wash to harden well, and will
prevent its cracking or rubbing off
Almost any desired shade of color may
be given it by the addition of different
inexpensive pigments. Yellow ochre
will give shades ranging from delicate
cream color to yellow, according to the
quantity employed. Lamp black pro-
duces shades from gray to lead color
A good stone color may be obtained
by adding two pounds lamp black and
four pounds raw lumber to the quantity
of wash made by the above receipt. For
out door work, a trifle of color is an i'm
proyement, as it is less glaring; but for
cellars, or the inside of hen houses, or
any other place where the wash is used
partly for its effect as a disinfectant,
the less there is added to the lime, water
and sulphate of zinc, the better. 1t is
easily applied, as few splashes here
and there, whether on the ground or
the cellar bottom, will do no harm; the
principal thing to be remembered is to
keep the wash well stirred so as to Sc
cure uniformity of color.
For the ceilings of rooms and other
inside work, where something a little
finer is required, the prepared kalsom-
inc, which may be bought dry, and in
any desired color or shade, is the best
thing. 1t is not expensive, is easily
prepared and needs no more skill in
using 1haH any oIueI WASH Ut pdlnU. II
this cannot be procured good white
wash may be made as follows: Take
half pound of best white glue and soak
it in cold water for ten or twelve hours;
then heat it carefully, without allowing
it to scorch, until thoroughly dissolved.
and stir into it fifteen pounds of Paris
white, adding hot water until it is thin
enough to use. The walls should be
thoroughly cleansed before apply ing the
wash, which must be allowed to cool
before using.-New England Farmer.

Beds and Bedrooms.

Beds and bedding need especial care
On fine days leave your sleeping-room
windows open several hours, if posi-.
BILE, and, if not too conspicuous, leave
your beds unmade and let pillows and
mattresses air in the sun. Thoroughly
examine the bedsteads; take out the
Stats. which you will probably find COW
cred with dust accumulated dust will
also be found on the Stats of the spring
beds); wipe this off with hot water and
salt. Salt dissolved in very little
water should be put on with a small
paint-brush in all the corners of the bed
stead, to prevent vermin from finding q
place. If they are already there this
must be repeated as often as twice a
week, until they are exterminated.
Also wipe the edges of the mat
tresses well with a cloth wrung out of
salt and water. You must meet this
matter promptly and give it your su-
pervision, for if not attended to at once
they will get the better of you and cause
you great annoyance.
If there should be any spots on your
mattresses, try spreading a paste of
starch mixed with little cold water;
let it remain until quite dry, then brush
off; if the spot still remains, put tea
spoonful of borax to pint of cold water,
with little soap-enouoh to make good
suds. Scrub the spot with it, using an
old nail-brush or small scrubbing- brush,
afterward wiping dry with clean cloth.
We learned an art a few years ago of
a dear old lady with whom we were
spending the summer She came into
the bright sitting-room one morning
with pillows and ticks and said she was
going to change the feathers from one
into The other. mot here?" we cried,
starting up in alarm. and with visions
OF down and feathers flying all over the
room, over our clothing. and settling in
our hair. But she said, very quietly,
Don't move; you won't know it if you
don't look" But we did look, and
found that we did not know everything.
In each pillow-tick she had left an open
ing in the side seam about five or six
inches long, and at the top, in the mid
die, one about three inches long. TAX
ing pillow in her hand, she shook the
feathers away from the side and down
In the middle of the pillow, keeping
them there with several pins while she
ripped slit in the side just as long as
the one already in the new one. These
openings she now sewed together, max
ing communication between the two.
Then she inserted her hand in the space
she had left in the end seam, and we
pinned it closely around her wrist,
leaving no room for the feathers to fly
out. Taking the pins out of the pillow,
she drew the feathers easily out of one
into the other. When they were all
out she carefully removed her hand and
the opening was sewed up. The seam
between the two, as fast as ripped, was
pinned securely and afterwards sewed
up. The pins were taken out, the pill
low beaten into shape, and it was done.
This bit OF knowledge has been of great
use to us; let us hope that it will prove
as valuable to you.-Ladies' Floral Cab

are large and strong, and of the merino
type. The Japanese Mr.. Markham pro-
nounced as the most enterprising peo-
pie among the Eastern nations. At
Yokohama he found stock farms devo-
ted to thoroughbred horses, cattle and
sheep, and established fruit nurseries.
Upon one of the Government sheep
farms was flock of 600 American me-
rinos, from which two crops of lambs
had been raised, making an annual in
crease of eighty per cent. to the flock.
Fully ninety per cent. of the sheep which
had been shipped from America were
living and in good condition. There
were also 200 merinos from Australia
showing the same annual increase, but
not in as good condition. Mr.. Markham
described the sheep on the celebrated
farm Rambouillet, near Paris. These
approach the type of the American me-
rino, especially those bred to the delaine
form. They are comparatively free from
wrinkles, and below the American stand
ard in density of fleece and weight of
carcass.
In concluding his address, minute in
details, Mr.. Markham said that the
manufacturers complain because they
are not supplied with superfne wool.
He urged, therefore, all breeders pos
sessing superior advantages to supply
this demand. Mr.. Markham holds to
the opinion that sheep suited to this
purpose must possess moderate amount
of wrinkles and an abundant supply of
oil and yolk. AS these characteristics
are seriously deficient in the common
fiocks of the country it was advised that
rapid and valuable results be accom-
plished in bringing up the low types by
the use Of such rams as have the traits
in question in excess of the usual stand
ard for wool-growing flock. The speak
had not seen any sheep in all his travels
through Europe and Asia that in the re-
spects referred to compared favorably
with the America merinos.-N Y

The Teeth and Disease.

A full set of teeth is necessary to
proper mastication. Digestion largely
depends upon mastication, as mastica-
ton mixes the food with saliva-itself a
digestive tluid-and thoroughly sepa-
rates the particles so that the other
digestive tluids-the gastric Juice. the
bile and the intestinal iuid-mav read
lily act on them. Decayed teeth fill the
in-breathed air with putrid particles.
Bad teeth often cause boils, collections
OF hardened wax in the ear, ringing of
the ears (ttnnitus GuriuTa, and deaf
ness in various degrees. A large amount
OF distress, both in the teeth and in the
ear. is frequently occasloned by the de-
cay OF the first tooth of the permanent
set-the sixth grinder (molar.) So
strong is the sympathetic connection
between the teeth and the ears, that the
condition of the former greatly affects
the latter, especially in childhood, the
period of marked inflammatory ten
dency in the various glands of the
mouth. DIR. Samuel Sexton has made
the facts special study, with the aid of
the oroscope-the new instrument for
the exploration of the ear. OF fifteen
hundred cases examined by him, he at
tributes one-third to the condition of
the teeth. DR.. Sexton says further that
persons are injured in health by the
amalgam filings, the mercury which
enters largely into them being gradually
set free. Still more serious results fol-
low when plates especially vulcanite-
are worn over diseased fangs, infamed
palates or gums, collections of tartar,
and purulent secretions. In this coun-
try, where teeth begin to decay SO early,
children should be taught how to care
for them and the dentist should be oc-
casionally called in to inspect them

The Norwegian Peasant Proprietor.

The Norwegian peasant proprietor,
Notwithstanding the advance and gen.
eral diffusion of agricultural knowledge
of late years, still commits contented-
ly almost every agricultural sin. Of
any sort OF systematic husbandry he
has but the most elementary notion.
His system of rotation is meadow the
same land for three or four years. with
out giving it any assistance in the
shape of top dressing; to break it up
then for succession of grain crops.
the last of which only will be MANFRED,
and then leave it fallow to grew grass
without seed. Root crops, except po-
tatoes, are never grown, and the land
is MANFRED, on an average, once only
in seven or eight years. The Norwe-
glan peasant proprietor, too, like the
small Irish tenant, always keeps twice
as much stock as he can feed properly
during the winter, and supplements his
fodder with birch and alder leaves.
bark OF the mountain-ash, reindeer
moss, and, along the coast, with fish
refuse. Although an improvement is
taking place in this respect, it is still
considered in some parts of the coun-
try that If the cattle have not to be
carried out of the byres in the spring
if they have strength to walk-tRey
have been well wintered. The idea is
to keep them alive only during the
winter months for the butter and
cheese to be made from them in the
summer; and it is astonishing how well
both cows and sheep look at the seters
IN July, in spite Of this winter suite
tod'1ng, or starving process. There
are, OF course, open ditch
es everywhere, instead of tiled
drains, and undrained land on every
farm. Machinery and artificial manures
are but little used, and it is only yery
gradually that improved agricultural
implements are taking the place of the
former primitive home made utensils.
SO backward, in fact, is agriculture
generally in the country, SO poor a re-
turn does it produce from the soil. and
so much is the want apparent of en-
hghtened supervision and example to
counterfeit the mental and physical
sluggishness of the people, and their
want OF capital and knowledge, that the
State has been obliged to step in. and
TO take upon itself the functions of a
