WHITEWASH.

AS spring comes on the annual sea-
son of whitewashing looms up before
us. 1t is much easier to have white
wash prepared at least a month be-
forehand, but great many of these
preparations do not improve with age.
The recipe which is given is better if
1t is mixed month before it is used,
and the whitewash will keep bright
for long time after it is put on 1t
is especially durable and excellent
for outside buildings, therefore it is
given by the large quantity. Slack a
barrel of lime; add three pounds of
glue previously melted in water,
while the lime is Stacking. Cut up
three pounds of mutton or beef fat and
stir in the hot lime. Then add
pound of alum dissolved in water ;
half pound of borax and six pounds
of salt. Stir the whitewash every
day for month. At the end of this
time it is ready to use. A little ma.
sons blue must be stirred into the
whltewash when it is Stacked to give
it the proper coloring. Ordinary
wash blueings will not be of any ser.
vice in tinting whitewash.
For rough inside work, in the cellar
and in other places where it is desir-
able to dry out dampness and purify
the air, ordinary Stacked lime mixed
with thin boiled starch makes an
excellent whitewash. A good durable
whitewash brush will cost about a
dollar. 1t does not pay to buy cheap.

islands was begun in the Senate ON
Tuesday, Mr.. Rawlins of Utah, the
new leading minority member, of the
Philippine committee, opening the

the history of the world He main

AGRICULTURAL.
FIVE REASONS FOR SUCCESS.

This is a short story of one farmers
experience in private dairying as
special feature of his farm work. He
began a dozen years ago with five
common COWS that made less than two
hundred pounds of butter each year.
Not being able to buy better ones,
he purchased thoroughbred Jersey
bull and began to grade ur his herd.
He has persevered in this - DIRK until
he now has herd of fifteen thorough
bred and high grade Jersey COWS that
will average three hundred pounds of
butter year under proper feed and
scare.
So much for breeding. Now as to
feed. He has found it necessary to
buy some grain, but the most of the
feed has been grown on the farm,
which is well adapted to corn and
other grains. A good pasture in sum-
mer and early cut hay, of which clo-
yer forms part, in winter, with a
light feed of grain, has been and is
his method. With this feed his COWS
have done well, but they get the best
of care. The card is used regularly
and the tie up is kept we'll Uttered
with straw, sawdust or other bedding
material. Besides this, they are never
handled roughly. Gentleness on the
part of the dairymen means gentle
COWS, and this in turn means more
and better milk This farmer, whose
success | am now relating, carries
gentleness to such an extreme that he
will not even allow rough or profane
language in the COW barn. Who shall
say he is not right? Certain it is he
has succeeded above the average in
his business. Everything is kept
scrupulously neat and clean, from
the COW that he finished product.
AT the outset of his career as a
dairyman he had few acquiantances
i'll the nearest city and he began by
supplying them with part of his prod
net, selling the rest at the stores at
current market rates. Gradually he
OllldIStl HIS ISldll JTduS unbll IL bOOh
his whole output, and it has kept in
creasing until it now takes fifteen
COWS to supply his customers, to
whom he delivers once a week. His
success is due to the following causes
First - Intelligent breeding, by
which he has increased the product of
his herd more than so per cent in
twelve. years.
Second-Economical feeding, large
ly with home grown feed.
Third-Kindness, neatness and regu-
larity.
Fourth-A retail trade with an ad-
vance of two to five cents over the
market.
Fifth-Absolute honesty in all his
dealings with his customers, which is
great factor in all success worthy
the name. -Enoch G. Dow, Belfast,

ALFALFA.

Alfalfa produces such large yields
and such highly nutritious forage
when grown III its natural habitat
the far west-that its praises are
sounded in every agricultural paper.
Eastern farmers naturally wish to
grow this crop if its success be assur-
3D. and are inquiring, as never be-
fore, the probability of its satisfac
tory growth in New England. The
experiment stations of New York and
New Jersey report that it does well
in many parts of those common
wealths but the Vermont experiment
station officers are not optimistic as
to its success in the Green Mountain
State.
The Vermont station has repeatedly
tried to grow alfalfa, with varying
results. In 1887 and SO seed was
sown under it's direction by about
forty farmers with a uniform record
of failure. Several sowings on the
station ground have been made since
that time. Some of these have been
weed choked, others have winter kill
ed entirely or in spots, or have run
out from other causes. Two good
stands have been attained, one of
which has just come through its third
winter in fair shape. A few small
but good pieces have been grown at
sundry points in the Champlain val
ley, and it is not unlikely that few
others may have been grown at other
points in the State.
Success or failure with alfalfa in
Vermont, depends first, on the man,
and second, on the soil. He who
would grow this crop must thorough
ly understand it, and must be prepar-
ed to put time, money, labor, thought
and enthusiasm into it without pros
pect of much return for year or two,
hoping for future success. The land
must be we'll drained and in a good
state of filth and fertility. 1t should
be prepared as for onions. All weeds
and weed seeds must be killed for
alfalfa is weakling which, so to
speak, must be brought up on the bot
tie. Following the land for year,
frequently and thoroughly cultivat-
ing it for the purpose of killing out
weeds, is good preparation on a
weedy place for alfalfa.
Alfalfa cannot be grown satisfac-
torily with nurse crop or in mix
lures with grass seed. When once es-
| tablished it should be cut at least
three times yearly, the first cutting
occurring in June, well before the
usual time of haying. If cutting be
delayed quality suffers. 1t must
therefore, be grown by itself, unmix-
ed with grass. Another serious diff
Guilty is found in the patchy nature of
an alfalfa field after few years
growth. 1t is apt to winter kill in
spots, and these are difficult to get
stocked again.
The size and quality of the crops of
alfalfa obtained at the Vermont sta
tion has not been greater than those
of red clover. In brief it may be said
that it is felt by the station officers
that the generality of Vermont farm
ers are more likely to succeed with
red clover than with alfalfa. vt
