WHITEWASH EVERY SPRING.
No person who regards the health of the
family should neglect to whitewash every
spring. Country places, especially farm
ou5-houses, fences, ETC., are generally i'm
proved in appearance by an annual coat,
and it will add to their permanenoy more
than one would imagine. It is cheap and
easily applied, SO that neither expense nor
labor can be pleaded against it. To be
durable, whitewash should be prepared in
the following manner Take the very best
stone lime and slake it in close tub, GOV.
cred with cloth to preserve the steam
Salt-as much as can be dissolved in the
water used for shaking and reducing the
lime-should be applied, and the whole
mass carefully strained. A few pounds of
wheat flour mixed as paste may be added,
and will give greater durability to the
mass, especially when applied to the ex-
terror surface of the buildings. With pure
lime properly slaked and mixed almost any
color may be made by the addition of pig
ments. Granite, slate, free.stone and
other shades may be initiated, and without
any detriment to the durability of the
wash.
FOR FENCE POSTS.

covered many years ago that wood could
be made to last longer than iron in the
ground, but thought the process so simple
that it was lot well to make stir about

posts. 1 have taken out Eastwood posts
after having been set seven years that were
as sound when taken out as when first put
in the ground. Time and weather seemed
to have no effect on them. The posts can

OUNCE HEDGE.
The Cydonia or Japan ounce, as COM
monty called. makes very substantial and
attractive hedge. The leaves are deep,
shining green, and for many weeks they
present one mass of snowy flowers. A
beautiful effect is produced by planting
both the scarlet and whita varieties alter
nately. If allowed to spring up in many
shoots from the ground, and are well
trimmed, they make so close hedge that
in little while fence could be dispensed
with.
