White ash That Lasts.
As this is the time of year to fix up and
make presentable all outbuildings, we give
the government recipe for making whitewash
An article which should be more generally
used than it is:
Take half bushcl of unslaked lime, slake
1t with boiling water. cover during the pro-
cess to keep in steam, strain the liquid thro'
a fine sieve or straincr and add To it a peck
of salt, previously dissolved in warm water,
three pounds of ground rice boiled to q thin
paste and stirred in while hot, half pound
of Spanish whiting and one pound Of clean
glue, previously dissolved by soaking in cold
water, and then hanging over slow fire in
small pot hung in larger one filled with
water. Add five gallons hot water to the
mixture, stir well and let stand few days
covered from dirt. 1t should be applied hot
for which purpose it can be kept in kettle
or portable furnace.
The east end of the Presidents house at
Washington is cmbellished by this brilliant
whitewash, says the Practical Farmer, which
gives the above recipe. 1t is used by the
government to wh,cwash lighthouses. A
pint Of this wash mixture,lf properly applied
will cover one square yard and will be al
most as serviceable rs paint for wood. brick
or stone, and Is much cheaper than paint.
Coloring matter may be added az desired.

our centenarian friend and patron, Mr.. Philip
Keller, of Dayton, Ohio, whose memory and
pennanship are something remarkable for

DAYTON, ONO, April 20, 1901 j..
MIR EDITOR:
report to you the following
remarkable coincidence of snow storms so
late in the season. The first occurred on the
Goth and 2lst of April 1901, and the second
on the Goth and 2lst of April, 1901. You
will observe by The dates that exactly one
hundred years, to the very day, interviewed
between the two storms. The snow storm
of 1901 was u fall of between and 8 inches,
at tho time when the fruit trees were in
bloom, the wheat and rye nearly in head. 1t
was followed by bright and warm sunshine
SO that the snow melted away without the
least injury TO any thing green and growing
But there was one farmer who thought he
could save his crop by taking long rope
the snow off. His crop was somewhat injured
due to the friction Of the rope on the tender
plants.
The storm of 1901 occurred few months
before | was born, but later on | SO often
heard my father and others talk about 1t
that up to this day well remember what
they said about It,
Respectfully Yours,
PHILIP KEIFER.
