The Limo in 1t is . Purifying and Dis.
injecting Agent.
Nothing adds more to the appearance
of farm buildings or gives q better inn
preston than to have them nicely paint
ed. Large numbers of old buildings cam
not be painted except at great expense,
and these may be given a coat of white
wash at comparatively small expense,
and the result will be very satisfactory.
The lime in the whitewash is purifying
and disinfecting agent, and if the pig
sites, poultry-houses and stables are
much more fit for the animals and much
append directions for making brilliant
whitewash that will wear well and can
be made and applied by any one, says
buildings that have been whitewashed
are still in very fair condition: "Take
one-half bushel of nice unslaked lime,
Stake it with boiling water, cover It DUR
ing the process to keep in the steam !:
strain the liquid through fine sieve or
strainer, and add to It peck Of salt
previously well dissolved In warm water.
three pounds Of ground rice boiled to .
thin paste, one-haH pound Of powdered
Spanish whiting and one pound of clean
glue which has been previously dissolved
BY soaking it we'll, and then hang it over
q slow fire in q small kettle within q
larger one filed with water; add five
gallons of hot water to the mixture, stir
It we'll and let it stand for few days
covered from the dust. It should be put
on hot, and for this purpose it can be
kept on portable furnace. 1t is said that
about pint of this mixture will cover q
square yard upon the outside of house
if properly applied. Fine or coarse
brushes may be used according to the
neatness of the job required. 1t answers
as well as oil paint for wood, brick or
stone, and is cheaper. 1t retains its
brilliancy for many years. There is
nothing of the kind that will compare
with it either for inside or outside walls.
Buildings or fences covered with it will
take much longer time to burn than if
they were painted with oil paint. Col
oring matter may be put in and made of
any shade desired. Spanish brown will
make reddish pink when stirred in,
more or less deep, according to the guam
tity. A delicate tinge of this is very
pretty for inside walls. Finely pulverized
common clay, well mixed with Spanish
brown, makes q reddish stone color;
yellow ochre, stirred in, makes yellow
wash; but chrome goes further, and
makes q color generally esteemed pref
tier. It il difficult to make rules, be-
cause tastes are different. It would be
best to try experiments on q shingle and
let it dry. Green must not be mixed with
lime; it destroys the color. and the color
has an effect on the whitewash which
makes it crack and peel"

VARIETY IN FARMINGl
Dairy Industry an Important
Factor of Income.
THE FARMERS LOOKING TO 1T.

Cows No Longer Kept Upon the Farm
Simply Because tho Farmer Must
Have n Little Milk and Butter for
the Family.
Farmers are looking to the dairy in
dustry more carefully than ever before,
says Henry Talcott in Farm and Fire
side. 1t has become an important factor
of the income of the farm. Cows are no
longer kept upon the farm simply be-
cause the farmer must have little milk
and butter for the family. Best results
cannot be obtained without cows or cat
tie upon the farm in great abundance to
manufacture the much-needed fertility
to sustain the soil and do our whole duty
to Mother Earth. With the careful rails
ing of ensilage corn or corn of the largest
variety one can grow in his locality to
near full maturity, and with good silo
to put it in at the proper time and in
fair condition the farmer is we'll prepared
to do his whole duty as farmer. here
wish to say that any farmer who tills 100
acres of land or more without silos and
ensilage and the cattle or farm stock nee
essary to eat it up and leave the manure
on the farm is very far from being first
class farmer. He does not know what
his farm is capable of producing. More
bushels of grain can be raised every year
upon silo farm than upon grain farm.
1t increases the brain power of man to
have more than one idea in his head at
time. A few of them to rattle around in
an almost empty casket will soon excite
good ambitions and produce wonderful
results. The great luster and beauty of
diamonds we saw Ct the Worlds Fair
could have been produced only by grind
ing and polishing or friction. Try the
farms develop their whole powers OF
yourself BY o7e-idea farming alone. My
ensilage usually molds from four to eight
inches deep on top. ] cover it one to
alvays save for that purpose, and then
put two or three feet OF damp swale grass
j o,top of the chaff to keep it down and
/ hater pack the pit. 1t looks little
tons, to iced moldy chat. and ensilage
i to cstf,; 50 / throw it out into the barn

kaan throx3g it out until / get down to-
the clear quill. but the Old cows know
better thanh do what tEssy Hze: q q hey
always go to the pile OF moldv stuff l
throw away and eat the whole thing up
clean. let them do it on their own re-
sponsibility, because / found out long
ago they still continued to give good
milk. 1t is soon out of sight of some
weakened farmer who might chance to
come at the wrong time to see the silos
and ensilage. often have visitors who
come many miles to see if I practice
what preach, and it stands in hand to
keep my lamp we'll trimmed and ready
for burning. We use the gravity process
for dreaming our milk at the home dairy.
l can now buy the Falkland can, twenty
two-quart size, at rs cents apiece. In
our large creameries we use separators
with the latest improvements.

THE sTONE-wEsCOTT CASE.
The Demurrer of the Defendant Sus-
tained by Appellate Court.

An opinion relating to the Stone-West
colt case, sustaining the demurrer of the
defendant, was handed down in
the appellate division this after
noon by Judge Tillinghast. 1t
is a case in equity between Waldo III.
Stone and Nathaniel w. Westcott, ct al.
the review OF the case as contained in the
opinion is as follows:
This is a bill in which the plaintiff is
endcavoring to subject the equitable in
terest of the defendant, Nathaniel w.
Westcott, In the fund held by
the executors of the will of
Penelope N. Westcott, to the payment of
adjudgment debt of said defendant. The
bill sets forth amongst other things
that the plaintiff recovered judg-
ment against said defendant
Westcott on the 25th day of February,
1898, for the sum OF s125, debt and costs OF
court taxed at S12.S5, which
Judgment is wholly unsatisfed,
and that at the time OF
saidlrecovery, and since then, the defend
ant has never had any personal property
or real estate upon which execution
could be levied to satisfy said
Judgment. The defendants have de-
INJURED the bill because it
is not alleged therein that
execution on the judgement has
been issued and returned unsatished; and
the only question now before US therefore
is whether the bill can be sustained.
The rest of the document Is an explana-
tion as to why the bill Is demurrable and
cites several similar cases for illustration.

Five O'clock Teas.

There has Just come from the finishing
room at the Gorham Manufacturing
Company's works an elaborate
Tillinghast Catering Company, which
in workmanship and beauty of de-
sign excels anything yet produced by
the famous Rhode Island silversmiths and
the use of which will add a new delight
to the wedding receptions and five
o'clock teas in the homes of fashion.
The set is large enough and of such va
riety In its equipment as to be sufficient
for the needs of the largest re-
ception and at the same time
the pieces may be used by the ladies
themselves II they wish to do their own
"pouring - for the guests. Among the
pieces are the coffee urn, with its silver
lamp, chocolate pot, compotjer, wafer
dish, bon bon dish, the salvers,
tureen, meat platter and the round dish,
which is something altogether new for
entrees, and the candelabras. The style OF
the service is that Of the "First Empire"
resembling in form and border 6ecora-
tion the designs which were adapted from
the Greek art at the request and for the
pleasure OF Napoleon.
Mr.. Tillinghast will be the first to fol-
low Sherry Of New York in giving to
his patrons the use of a service
that bears no mark of the professionalism
of catering but fits in with the most mag
nificent appointment Of the private resi-
dence.

including the families aud immediate
friends Of the contracting parties, were
acknowledged in person.
The quiet character OF the ceremony was
in accord with the wishes of both Miss
Morris and Mr.. Gebhard, as we'll as with
the desire OF the parents OF the bride, who
are not fond OF display.
Mr.. Gebhard who has been making his
home in Baltimore at the Mount Vernon
Hotel for some time past, was joined at
an early hour this morning by Mr..
de Courcey Forbes, of New York, his
best man, and Mr.. John q. Follansbee,
"
TO be present at the wedding OF his friend.
The three gentlemen concluded the final
arrangements for MIR. Gebhard's
taking leave of bachelor life
and shortly before noon repaired
To the Morris family residence, 207 West
Franklin street. This is one of the few
houses yet remaining in Baltimore,

satisfaction than modern fashion
able adornment. All the guests
were assembled in the front parlor and
shortly after II Miss Morris, attended by
her sister, Miss Mildred Morris, descended
the stairway, and leaning on her
fathers arm, advanced To where the

solid white satin, made with full train
that swept the floor several feet and added
to her queenly carriage. 1t was high at
the throat, with long sleeves and trimmed
with rare old family lace.
Succeeding the wedding, the hospitali
ties OF the family were extended the guests
in repast which partook more of the
character OF an elaborate luncheon than
OF what Is known as wedding breakfast.

STATE CONVENTION.
A Big, Harmonious Gathering Ex-
pected at Infantry Hall Tomorrow.
Outline of the Proceedings as They Are
Arranged for-who win Preside
The Platform.

The Republican State Convention will
be held in Infantry Hall tomorrow morn
ing at IL o'clock. Chairman White end
Secretary Warren have been actively
engaged in the perfection OF the roll and
adjustment OF the preliminaries and the
proceedings will be conducted
with harmony and dignity.
Colonel Charles Warren Lippitt
has been selected as presiding ofhcer Dy
the executive committee, and his address
OF acceptance will undoubtedly be an able
and comprehensive review OF the situation
and fittjngly emphasize the Importance OF
the issues, State and National, which con-
front the electorate. The presentation OF
the name of Governor Brown
az the Gubornatorial candidate
has been assigned to Professor Alonzo
Williams of Brown University, and
Il is unnecessary to add that he is emil
aration OF the platform has been committed
to Judge Bosworth of Warren, and his
experience and thorough familiarity with
the conditions that have arisen during
the past year amply qualify him to enun-
ciste the principles ippop when tne
party will base its claims to
1ns nsr surasesT The OF other the PGpSid Pesnpdidates
Hon. f. r. Allen for Lieutenant Govern
or, Charles p. Bennett for Secretary OF
State, Edward C.. Dubois for
ATTORNEY General and Samuel Clark
OF Lincoln for : Geperal Treasurer,
viii receive an enthusiastic endorsement,
although it is probable that the friends of
Assistant Attorney General Tanner may
test has strength in the convention. The
determination, however, to present the
old ticket in its entirety is re-
garded by the party managers as
Imperative in the light of the develop
ments during the past year, and conse-
quently 1t is believed that the results will
be mutually satisfactory and governed by
to secure triumphant victory at the polls.
The executive committee, although
disappointed In their inability to secure
the presence of either Congressman Reed
or Governor Greenhalgo at the
convention, are pleased TO announce that
Hon. William r. Barrett of Massachusetts,
has accepted an invitation, and will ad-
dre3s the convention.
