Several Mesa farmers have com plained recently that they cannot get good farm hands, though they are will ling to pay the highest prices. One man says he has had several so-called farm hands recently: but that the ma jority of them were incompetent. and the others would work only long enough to get a few dollars, and then quit.

Formula For Whitewash.

Whltewash being In demand at this
season. the following formula of a
practical poultryman comes In handily:
To make IL durable and lasting white
wash put Into a water tight clean bar
rel half a buShel of unsaked lime.
Slake the lime by pouring sufficient
hot water In the barrel to cover the
lime to a depth of five inches. Stir
briSkly until slaked. Add two pounds
OF sulphate Of zinc and two pounds of
salt dissolved In hot wafer. These in
gredentS will prevent the wash from
crackin@ or peeling off. It is better to
apply the whitewash while hot. If to
be used for inside of poultry house,
colony houses or coops add half an
ounce of carbolic acid.
