REMOVING PAINT,
Kew Methods That Are Far More Thor.
Ough Than the Old Process.

New Methods That Are Far More Thor
Ough Than the Old Process.
The ordinary process nf scraping old
paint or burning it off is h"fdly expeditions
enough for general purF 0ses and is also
laborious Soda andquicTlime are far mora
thorough, and the paint is more quickly
removed The solution of halt soda and
half quicklime is thus made The soda is
dissolved in water, the lime is then added
and the solution can be applied with a
brush to the old paint A few moments ia
sufficient to remove the coats Of paint
which may be washed off with hot water.
Many preparations are sold for the removal
OF paint, all of them having some basis of
alkaI paste of potash and strong limo
is far more effectual in operation, and the
Oldest paint can be removed by it. After
ward coating of vinegar or acid should
be used to cleanse the surface before re-
painting. For removing varnish, spirits Of
ammonia is used, but it is slow process.
and several applications are necessary,
Scraping and sandpapering can be en-
ployed; but it must be done carefully by
experienced hands, or the surface of the
wood will be injured. The chemical proc
ess OF removal has the advantage of Ieav-
ing the surface in better condition than
burning off or scraping, and for large sur
faces OF patchwork is to be preferred

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
The Dairy REQUIRES Attention.

1t might as well be understood first
as last that butter-making can not be
made profitable unless there is suf-
fcient time given to it, and unless the
work is done at the proper time. 1t
must now be pretty well understood
that profitable butter-making means a
good article of butter. But that can
not be made unless every thing is done
properly and promptly. If, as writer
OF note remarks, woman has the
care of a family OF children, does the
cooking, mendlng, sweeping and thou
sand things that devolve upon a moth
er, she can not be a good dairy maid,
or II she is, it is more than one woman
ought to be. As rule people are not
rapid enough in execution to greatly
multiply duties. Once in great
while we find man or woman who
can do the work of half dozen peo-
pie, and seem to do it easily. But such
people are the exceptions.
1t is not wise, therefore, to expect
that the wife with all her other duties
to perform, can give attention to much
of a dairy, and, therefore, at the very
beginning enough help should be pro-
vided. There is a great deal of hard
work in the dairy. and it must be done
at just such time. It is mistake to
suppose that dairying is easy. In fact
it is a mistake to suppose that any
work or occupation is easy, if it is hon
est.
We must devote close attention to
any business if we expect to make it
successful The dairy particularly re-
quires close attention and steady work.
The COWS must be MIXED and ought
to be MIXED regularly and care
fully; and we can not be too
particular to see that the help
we employ attend to these things.
There is so much careles sness upon
the part of some mixers, as shown in
their roughness toward the COW, or
their neglect to milk thoroughly, that
in any considerable herd some mixers
will do more damage in a season than
their wages will amount to. The
process of milking, therefore, should
be carefully overseen by the owner
In walking through city streets we al
ways see foreman@a boss of street
gangs of men. This foreman watches
closely the work of the men, and vet
if they did not sweep clean or other
wise neglect their duty, no irreparable
damage could be done. The dairymen
frequently give no attention to the mat
ter of milking their cows by the help,
and if damage is done there it can
not be repaired. The mixer should
be a clearly person. Since milking
has been entrusted so largely to men,
there is not always that degree of
cleanliness that is absolutely necessary
in well-conducted dairy, and the lack
often gives rise to the wish for the re-
turn OF the neat dairy maid, who was
not always the sole creation of the
poets. After the milking comes the
care of the milk. If the mixer has
mixed with the milk dirt of various
descriptions the milk is spoiled; no
after-care, however great. can restore
it to prime excellence. The dirt may
be got out, perhaps, but the straining
can not remove the doors that NAV
have come from the dirt Western

County, Ca, will fine its members five
dollars if they use iute bagging.
in johnson County. Ca, the Ali
ance farmers have adopted series Of
resolutions aimed at "a doctors trust
or combine" which seems to exist
there.
Keep the stock well watered.
Thirsty stock standing around dry
trough because somebody forgot to
pump water, is a waste of valuable
time.
One of our contemporaries advises
farmers to keep all the tools housed.
We have seen farms on which the
weeds indicated that that sort of advice
passed current in that meek of the
woods.
Feed sweet and nutritious food to
the cows at all seasons of the year.
Musty hay, and off favored food are
not the material out of which to make
good milk and butter.
Give winter protection to the
small fruit. The thing to do is to So
lect the best varieties, even if tender,
and then go to the trouble of protect
ing them. Hardy varieties are often
like the scrub COW, tough, but mighty
Improbable.
The cause of milk sickness, says
Mr.. Benjamin Spradlin, of Kentucky,
is lobelia, which is eaten by the ami
mails. Lobelia, after it has so far mar
tured as to produce seed, will invari-
ably produce milk sickness after 1t is
eaten.
There is proper limit to the ex-
ercise of COW. If the pasture is 50
everlastingly poor that a COW must
travel over ten acres to get enough to
keep her alive, she is getting too much
exercise.
An exchange says that one who
knows says that corn fodder in the silo
occupies but one-ffth of the space It
does in the barn-loft. That there Is
but ten per cent. waste in the silo,
while there is thirty per cent waste
in feeding the fodder in the old style.
1t is best not to think of politics Or
your neighbors while milking the COW.
Better pin yourself down to the work
on hand, or you may pinch the teal
and then the COW may kick. and then
you may get mad, and there may bean
Improbable complication all around.
"A dairy may be made up from the
best milk and butter stock on record,
but if treated no more judiciously than
a great many people treat their cows
it will not be a source of profit. Nat
ural capability is valuable only when
furnished with the material with which
to work
1t should be set down as rule ana
strictly adhered to that no noxious
plant should be permitted to mature
its seed on any part Of the farm Or
along any roadside contiguous TO tne
farm. 1t is the bounden duty Of every
farmer to destroy and utterly extsr-
inmate the weeds on the road that pas
through or along bis farm.

skunk ranch in the world. If there are any
other skunk ranches now on paying basis

ton Of this little rhododendron has so far
been left to Mr.. Joseph Lininger, near Hunt
ington. He has ranch there Of this kind, and
goes into society very little indeed, 1 am told.
Few go to see him, and his groceries are
handed over the fence to him by means Of a
fishing pole.
Skunks are most priced for their fur and
also their oil The oil is not used on salad, as
many suppose, but as a remedy for Group.
Skunk's oil is worth ten cents an ounce, and
the contest between tablespoonful Of it and
a case of Group is said to be entirely one sided
Mr.. Lininger began with fourteen Of these
animals He now has several hundred OF
them, and can buy any Of the adjoining
farms at his own price.
Last summer he used to go to church at
Huntington every Sunday morning, but this
year the church is paying him S. week to
pray in secret.

is not returned. The skunk resembles the
elephant in one respect, viz, because he can

Senator Sawyer tells good story on him
self There was a man up in the Oshkosh
country Of the name of Hutchinson, who was
great boaster. If he cut one log of wood
he would be sure to report hundred, and if
he saw dozen blackbirds sitting on stump
they would be a thousand before he told
about them in the nearest saloon. One season
be did some logging for AIr. Sawyer, and for
his pay received a check on the Northwestern
National bank for S120, payable to his order.
Mr. Hutchinson had never had such an ex-
perience before and he showed the check to
his friends with great deal of pride before
he took it to the bank to get it caShed. When
he did so the teller, of course, made him write
his name on the back of the paper, and that
was an incident of still greater Importance in
Mr.. Hutchinson's life Then he went to his
home in the woods, and said to everybody
whom he met on the way:
'Old Sawyer can brag as much as he's
mind to about his money, but the bank made
me indorse his check before they would cash
it for him. Washington Cor New York

Of the very plainest kind. And yet he is an
offal eater after all.
The sac which supplies the little heliotrope
with his all pervading sentiments may be
easily removed, says Mr.. Lininger, and then
the animal is as harmless and even more de-
voted than the common house cat Possibly
that may lead TO the general adoption of this
animal as house pet some day, and along
with the stingless bulldog our houses will be
filed with delight. Then the New York land
