w hiaeWash.

Now that the whitewashing sea
son will be here, we publish the fol-
lowing receipt for making the "wash,"
which is recommended as being ex-
eellent. Take one bushel unslacked
lime, ten pounds Spanish whiting,
one-half gallon linseed oil, one pint
spirits turpetine; slack the lime in
clean hot water, and while Stacking
put in the whiting, oil and turpen-
tine Stir them altogether, and don't
use it for two hours. Then thin it
with sweet milk and you have an ex
eellent whitewash ready for use.
The judicious application of white
wash is "a measure of economy in the
protection Of property, besides ad
ding materially in appearance to the
premises where it is used.

A few days ago the Lawrence
(Kan.) Herald gave an account of the
Cesarean operation performed on
mare which had been bitten by a
mad dog and had several hydropho-
bic fits. The colt removed by the
operation lived, and continued to
thrive until last Friday when it gave
SYMPTOMS of bydrophobia, which were
soon followed by violent fits These
became SO frequent that the colt had
to be killed. This case is said to he
without parallel in veterinary
practice, and shows conclusively that
he virus which brought on the
fits In the mare was communicated
by means of the blood to the colt
which developed, as stated above, in
to rabies in fifteen days.
