WhiteWasll.

"Whitewashing" is in season at all
times on the farm, but especially so
during the summer, and about the
poultry premises in particular.
All the out-houses, coops, fences,
and even the trunks of trees can stand
thorough washing twice a year, and
the whole premises thereby made to
take on more neat, new and attrac-
tive appearance. White makes beau
tiful contrast with the green foliage Of
the trees and surroundings, but it is
by some considered too glaring and
hard on the eyes. This can easily be
remedied by the addition of little
dry coloring as may suit ones liking
Poultry houses and coops should be
whitewashed inside and out. All the
next boxes and other fixtures should
also receive coating The ordinary
lime and water wash has the disadvan-
tage of easily washing off, and also Of
sticking to and marking ones clothes
or whatever runs against it. We clip
from the American Poultry Yards
three recipes for making whitewash
that will not rub off:
/. Slack in boiling water, one-half
bushel of lime, keeping it just fairly
covered with water during the process.
Strain it, to remove the sediment that
will fall to the bottom, and add to it
a peck of salt dissolved in warm water;
three pounds of ground rice boiled in
water to thin paste; one-half pound
of powdered whiting, and pound Of
clear glue dissolved in warm water.
Mix the different ingredients thor
oughly and let the mixture stand for
several days. When ready to use, ap-
ply it hot. If less quantity is de-
sired, use the same proportions.
2. A good whitewash for use upon
outside work may be prepared as fol-
lows: Slack in boiling water onc-half
bushel of lime and strain as before.
Add to this two pounds Of sulphate of
zinc and one pound Of salt dissolved
in water. If any color but what is de-
sired add about three pounds Of the
desired coloring matter, such as paint
ers use use il preparing their paints.
Yellow ochre will make a beautiful
cream color, and browns, reds, and va
rious shades Of green arc equally easily
obtained.
3. Another excellent wash, lasting
almost as we'll as ordinary paint, may
be prepared for outside work as fol-
lows. Slack in boiling water onc-half
bushel of lime. Strain so as to re-
move all sediment. Add two pounds
of sulphate of zinc, one pound of COM
mon salt, and onchalf pound Of whit
ing, thoroughly dissolved. Mix to
proper consistency with skinned milk
and apply hot. Ii white is not desired
add enough coloring matter to pro-
duce the desired shade. Those who
have tried this recipe consider it much
superior, both in appearance and du-
rability, to ordinary washes, and some
have not hcsitatcd to declare that it
compares very favorably with good
lead paints. 1t is much cheaper than
paint and gives the houses and yards
to which it is applied a very attractive

little of Mrs. Washington except that
she was petite, a brunette: very pretty,
and could not spell. Washington de-
stroyed all her letters to him on this
account. Most of her letters which
are in existence were written by
Washington, and copied by her. But
she proved a good wife. She was a
born lady and had all the high in
stinets of thoroughbred. Jefferson
and Madison and Hamilton, who had
met her, all seemed to be impressed
with her limited educational attain
ments, and equally impressed with
her perfect good breeding. Washing
ton never wandered in his affection
for her, and always alluded to her as
the partner of all his domestic enjoy
ments. They lived har0il together
for forty years. In his .ast illness he
lay for four hours at night with that
chill which killed him, because he
would not wake his wife and have her
get up in the cold. This considera-
tion for her put him almost beyond
help when morning came.
He was the most attentive Of hus-
bands. Fearing she might overwork
herself with the multitude Of guests
that throngcd Mount Vernon, he Sc
cured a housekceper. lie saved her
the trouble of ordering her own
clothes to a large extent. He was a
martinez on appearances, and extreme
ly particular, both as to his own
clothes and as to hers. White satin
and black velvet were his favoritc ma
terials for his own coats.
When Washington became general
of the army, and the army went Ito
winter quarters this good woman made
the long and perilous journeys from
her home in Mount Vernon and spent
every winter in camp with her hus-
band. At Valley Forge they lived in
hut. She not only looked after him,
but presided with grace and dignity at
the headquarters table, where his
staff and every genera officer were
welcomed every day. By her kind
ness and attention to the sick soldiers
she did much to prevent the discon-
tent of the army under the great hard
ships which they endured, and to
alleviate the sufferings of the i'll and
wounded. Both she and the General
were passionately fond of dancing.
During the war, at winter headquar-
ters, they arranged assemblies on the
subscription pattern, the same as
those of Delmonico's Waldorf and
Sherry's, and they were called assem-
blies. They had especially notable
assemblies at Germantown, at Morris
town and at Philadelphia. The Wash
ingtons always arranged winter
assembly at Alexandria for the fami
lies of the country. Mrs. Washington
did not care much for these festivi
ties, but she sacrificed herself because
these parties relieved her husband
from the tremendous strain to which
he was subject both as general Of the
armies during the Revolution and as
President of the United States during
the formative period Of the Republic.
1t was not uncommon for Washington
at these assemblies to dance from 10
o'clock until daylight. He was i'm
partial, and tried to secure each lady
in the room for partner.

How Wesley Spoiled his Sermon.

A farmer once went to hear Johr
Wesley preach. The preacher said h'
would take up three topics of thought
he was talking chiefly about money.
His first head was. sect all yor
can" The farmer nudged his neigh
Dor and said: "That man has got
something in him; it is admirable
preaching
Wesley reached his second division
"Save all you can" The farmer be-
came quite excited. "'Yas there ever
anything like this?" he said.
The preacher denounced thriftless,
ness and waste, and she farmer rubbed
his hands as he thought, "All this
have I been taughtfrom my youth up.
And with getting and with boarding, ii
seemed to him that salvation" had
come to his house.
But Wesley advanced to his third
head, which was, "Give all you can. y
20, dear! O, dear!!' said the farmer,
che has gone and spoiled it all. -

Beet Sugar.

The experiment in the cultivation
of the sugar beet which is soon to be
made in South Carolina by colony
of German farmers, will be watched
with intense interest, for if it should
succeed great industry will undoubt-
edly spring up in the South.
The manufacture cf beet sugar is
now carried on extensively and profit
ably in several western States, but no
considerable attempt at it has been
made in the South.
The bulk of the sugar used in Eu-
rope is made from the beets, and last
year the total production Of raw sugar
on that continet was 4,393,537 tons,
Germany producing 1,615,111 tons,
Austria Hungary, 791, ,405 tons,
France, 667, 1853 tons, Russia, lS3, ,4S9
tons, Belgium 260, ,O50 tons, Holland,
LOG, 1929 tons, Denmark, Sweden, etc.,
16S,800 tons.
Both Germany and France have in
creased the bounty upon sugar and the.
production will certainly be greatly en-
larged.
No other country consumes anything
like as much sugar as the United
States, and it would be great thing
if we could make all the sugar we use.
All that We produce now both from
cane and bects is only "drop in the
bucket compared to what we import.

beside the Bible Society, and this
without reference to the immense
numbers printed and sold in this
country /; so it would seem there can
hardly be a corner of the known world
where it's voice is not heard. And yet
We know that there are thousands of
homes even in so.called Christian lands
where no Bible is to be found, and
many thousands more where it is
never read, and where no reverence is
paid to it. In this respect the
Mussulman and the Pagan may we'll
put US to shame, since they show far
more respect for their sacred books
than We do for what we believe to be
'the Word of God. Sunday Ne,cs.

| different charm from the English ladies
in the Barbadoes, or the lovely Tir-
ginians of his native State. 1t was
the metropolitan girl-the New Yorker
as typical then as now-self-p possessed,
travelled, with the experience cf sew
cral seasons in the society Of the larg-
est city of the country, familiar with
the attention Of British officers and
titled fortune hunters, a beauty and
an hcircss. The type was new to
Washington, and he fell madly in
love. But the proud and fnical
New York belle saw too many Of the
woodsmau and the Indian fighter to
allure her from the rcGnemcnts of the
metropolis to the seclusion of planta-
tion life, and so she gave her hand
and heart to Lieut.. Col. Roger Nor
ris, to become, with her Tory husband, !,
during the Revolutionary war, a fugi-
tive to England, while Washington,
in the fortunes Of revolution, made
their house his headquarters during
the campaign in New York.
Washington, however, two years
after the Mary Phillips incident, met
at country house Mrs. Martha Dand-
ridge Custis. She was widow, 2G
years of age, and seven months Of
sorrow. She not only belonged to one
of the most distinguished families, but
she was the wealthicst woman in the
oolonv of Viroinia Her sorrow WAS
allcviated by the presence of two little
angel Custiscs, Jack and Nellie.
Washington wrote to his physician
before arriving at this country house
in very bad health, that he considered
himself doomed man. and that he
was expecting very soon his decay
