lett 1t in the Held, or did you place II
under shelter when you finished cutting
your grain? Remember your reputa-
tation is at stake in this matter. IL
you ever expect to make for yourself
a future, keep your farm implements
and machinery out OF the sun and rain.
Cut the hay while the grass is green.
Do not delay this any longer The man
who does things on the farm at the
proper time, and always has a plenty
of time to do things, is the successful
man,
Nothing adds more to the appearance
OF farm buildings or gives better I'M
preston than to have them nicely
painted Large numbers of old build
ings cannot be painted except at great
expense. and these may be given coat
OF whitewash at a comparatively small
expense, and the result Will be very
satisfactory The lime in the white
wash is n purifying and disinfecting
agent, and II the pig stys. poultry
houses and stables are thoroughly
whitewashed they will be much more iit
for the animals and much less offensive
to eyes and nose. We append direc-
tions for making n brilliant white
wash that will wear well and can be
made and applied by anyone. We
know Of buildings that have been
whitewashed with this mixture tor sew
eral years. and are sim In very fair
condition. Take one-half bushel OF
nice unslaked lime. Stake II with boil
ing water; cover It during the process
to keep in the steam. Strain the
liquid through a fine seive or strainer.
and add to It peck OF salt, previously
well dissolved in warm water; three
pounds OF ground rice boiled 10 thin
paste; one-half pound of powdered
Spanish whiting and one pound OF clean
glue which has been previously dis
solved by soaking 1t well. and then
hang It over slow fire in a small
kettle within larger one filled
with water. Add five gallons Of
hot water to the mixture. stir 1t well
and let 1t stand for few days covered
from the dust. 1t should be put on
hot, and for this purpose 1t can be kept
on portable furnace. 1t Is said that
about a pint OF this mixture Will cover
a square yard upon the outside Of a
house. II properly applied. Fine or
| coarse brushes may be used. according

answers as well as oil paint for wood,
brick or stone. and is cheaper. II re-
tains its brlllIancy for many years.

time to burn than II they were painted
