PAINTS or MILK AND LIME.

Cheaper Than Ordinary Oil Paint and Much
More Lasting Than Whitewash.
Where rough woodwork, such as old
barns or other frame buildings, fences
and the like, is to be painted, economy
and often necessity would indicate the
use of cheaper materials than ordinary
oil paint, and more lasting than white
wash. A formula approved by General
LIE Duo when he was commissioner OF
agriculture and more recently recalled
BY Rural New Yorker, it is claimed,
quite fills the bill. To two quarts of
water lime, or hydraulic cement, add
sweet skimmilk until of the consisten-
cy of good cream. Pour in the milk
slowly, stir briskly and thoroughly, and
do not mix more than this quantity at
a time, as it is liable to settle to the
bottom and become hard. The proper
lions stated are not exact, and one will
have to use his own judgment little,
seeing that the mixture is not thin
enough to ssrun' or thick enough not to
spread easily.
Use a fiat brush, say four inches in
width, and apply like oil paint. The
paint, when dry, is sort OF creamy
stone color, and any other color may be
obtained by the addition of suitable pig
ments, which must first be ''broken" Or
mixed in little milk to paste before
being put with the first mixture. Better
still, buy color ground in water. This
painthas been extensively used for years
with perfect satisfaction, looking well
for several years, and is comparatively
inexpensive. A common laborer can ap-
ply it at saving Of one-half the cost of
painters wages, and farmhands, when
work is slack, could do it at still
greater saving.
For it's lighthouses, beacons and keep
ers' dwellings the government uses a
mixture of ten parts freshly slaked lime
to one part of the best hydraulic cement,
mixed we'll with salt water and applied
quite thin Another government recipe
is as follows: Stake one-half bushel OF
lime with boiling water, keeping it
covered during the process; then strain
and add one peck of salt dissolved in
warm water, three pounds of rice fou1
boiled in water to thin paste, one-haE
pound of whiting and one pound OF
white glue dissolved in warm water.
Allow it to stand several days, but ap,
ply hot. Two coats will usually be
found necessary, as in all the foregoing
| formulas.

Fighting Cutworms.

In a bulletin from the New Jersey
station it is stated that clover or sod
land is most frequently infested by cut
worms, which are less frequently found
on late cultivated land. The worms are
especially abundant in crimson clover.
Among the remedies suggested clean
culture is placed first, prominently as
ISOLATED with earlyfall blowing. Apply
ing a top dressing of kainit and nitrate
of soda in the early spring if corn Is to
be planted is advised, the seeding to be
delayed until rain has carried the fer
tilizers intot the soil. Distributing clover
or bran that has been moistened with
paris green about the fields is also rec
commended. -------

New Haven, Conn, November 1.-THE
devotional service which opened today's
meeting of the Christian workers was
conducted by Rev. R. A. Torrey of
Chicago, president of the association.
assisted by Rev. +. N. Lamb of Kenne-
bunkport, Maine, who led the singing.
Two minute reports of the meetings
which were held yesterday under the
auspices of the association in various
parts OF the city were made.
Rev. John Collins reported that he
went around to as many meetings in
different parts of the city as he could.
''Did you hear me call New Haven the
wickedest city in the world?'' interrupted
Rev. Mr.. Torrey, the chairman.
mo didn't" replied Mr. Collins.
~ am sure there was a mistake in the
published report of Mr.. Torrey as making
that utterance.
Mr.. Torrey said; "Did any one hear
me say it?'
There was a chorus of "No.
Mr.. Torrey added: III didn't say it,,
and I don't believe it, / live in Chicago,
and | am not telling other cities they are
the wickedest on the earth
A. w. Milbury, Of the Christian In
dustrial Home in New York, gave a
graphic account of the methods employed

that last year there were over five hun
dered mean who passed through the hands
of the ONES, thoroughly discouraged
when they came, transformed and
optimistic when they left. He said that
there were now thirty departments to the
Industrial Christian Alliance in New
York, and that much good was done by
the cheap restaurants, the manufacturing
departments and in the attempt to find
work for the human wrecks.

A Word About Teosinte.

At the Oklahoma agricultural expert
ment station this season teosinte, under
favorable conditions, gave yield of
about rs tons Of green fodder per acre at
one cutting. On thinner land and where
there was less moisture the yield was
much less. The crop was injured by
chinch bugs, which seemed to feed on it
as readily as on corn. It is objected to
the crop that it is difficult one to cut
and handle. The fact that it does not
mature seed in the United States will
be a serious objection to it.

RECOVERED HIS SHEEP
WYOMING MANS LONG AND SUCCESS
FUL HUNT FOR HIS FLOCK.
They Were stolen by an Employe and
Sold i'm Kansas City, Finally Reach
ing Clinton County. Indiana.

In the United States Court. yesterday,
Judge Baker heard the proceedings in the
repIevin suit of Griffith Edwards, one of the
largest sheep raisers of the West. against
Michael Miller, stock dealer of Clinton
county. The suit involved the possession of
eight hundred head of sheep. representing
over 5000. Griffith Edwards, the plaintiff,
owns extensive sheep ranch near Rock
Creek, wyo Oct 80. 1894, he started
drove of 5000 sheep to Rawlins, the near
est railway station, in charge of one of his
employees, a young Mexican, who could
speak but a few words of English. From
Rawlins the stock was to be shipped to Chi
cago over the Union Pacific railroad. The
Mexican being unfamiliar with the route,
the ranchman sent with him man named
McCarty, whom he had picked up in the
town of Rock Creek.
The second day away from the ranch Nc
Carly left the drove on the pretense of GO
ing to the nearest town for horse feed. He
returned the following day with man
whom he called McLain. McCarty told the
Mexican that McLain had bought the sheep,
and produced a letter purporting TO have
been written by Edwards, instructing the
herder to assist the purchaser in getting
the stock to the town of Rifle, nearly two
hundred miles from Rawlins The Mexican,
ignorant of the plot, consented to help drive
the sheep to Rifle, and when that point
was reached. nearly a month later the en-
tire drove was loaded on to the cars and
started to Kansas City. Edwards did not
learn of the theft until he received a tele-
gram from the Mexican, who had been de-
serted by the men in Kansas City.
Edwards hurried on to Kansas City, but
was unable to find any trace of McCarty
and McLain. 1t was said they had cashed
the checks received for the stock and set
out at once for the Indian Territory A few
weeks later the sheep turned up in the
stock yards at Chicago, where part of the
drove was purchased by Michael Miller &
Son, of Frankfort. Mr.. Edwards identified
his sheep by the letter e. branded on
their backs Two months ago he filed
suit. in replevin for. the flock and Miller
& Son were compelled to yield their pur
chase to the rightful owner. Edwards
gave bond and the case was heard yester-
day. Judge Baker decided that Edwards
was entitled to his property or 5000 in
money. The only remedy left for Miller a.
Son Is to bring suit to recover against the
Chicago men who sold them the sheep.
