How to Make Whitewash.

Slack one-half bushel of unslacked
lime with boiling water, keeping it COW
cred during the process. Strain it and
add a peck of salt dissolved in warm
water Add also three pounds Of
ground rice put in boiling water and
boiled to a thin paste, one-half pound
Of powdered Spanish whiting and a
pound of clear glue dissolved in warm
water. Mix all these well together
and let the mixture stand for several
days. Keep the wash thus prepared
in a kettle or portable furnace and
when used put it on as hot as possible
with painters or whitewash brushes.
This whitewash has been found by ex-
perience to answer on wood, brick and
stone nearly as well as oil paint, and
it Is much cheaper.-Home and Farm.

Freak Shot Putters,

The University Of Chicago has the
oldest bunch of shot putters that ever
competed for any team. When Coach
A. A. Stagg of the maroons sized up
his field in this event he found that he
had the most freakish set of shot put
tiers In the world. The men who are
working at this event are Schommer,
Crowley, Hubble, Kelly, Gerend. Rade-
macher, Prather and Menaul The last
four are members of the freshmen
team. Of this bunch Kelly, Prather,
Rademacher and Gerend are left hand
ers.
Kelly, the great tackle Of the maroon
football team, Is well known in eastern
athletic circles, and any one who has
ever seen this giant competing in the
shot put is sure to have noticed that
he puts the weight with his left hand.
Last year Prather appeared in local
athletics, and he, too, was a south paw
Rademacher, the giant Of the fresh
man football team, was the next left
handler who attracted the attention of
Coach Stagg to the popularity Of his
field Of shot men.
The final surprise came when Ger
end, 22O pounder, appeared on the
scene and also showed the weight with
his left hand. Coach Stagg spoke to
Gerend about the field Of left handlers,
and Gerend surprised the Wizard of
the Midway by putting the weight
equally we'll with his right arm.
Coach Stagg is perplexed over the
situation. He is able to coach a man
who is right handed or one who is left
handed, but when it comes to one who
can do the same distance with either
hand the case is hard to handle. He
is unable to decide which way Gerend
should put the shot, as neither way
offers any advantage over the other.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Some Poultry Wisdom.

Some do well with several different
breeds Of hens, but for most folks one
kind is best.
Give plenty of litter for the biddies
to work in; ''clear up to their knees"
is not too much. 1t does them good to
work, and they like It too.
You can keep as many hens as you
like, only do not have too many in a
flock. Not more than twenty-five should
be kept in place.
You will not be able to give your
hens newly dug earth these days, but
you can give them earth that has not
been worked over by the chicks. This
you should always try to do, for earth
which has been dug over repeatedly is
not clean, and it may have germs Of
disease in it.
1t is wrong to dose healthy hens
with stimulants.
Any hustlers among your hens?
They are the ones that bring you In
the money.
Are your hens too fat? Give them
more to do.
Be regular in feeding and keep clear
Of digestive troubles.-Farm Journal

Feed After Milking the Cow.

A great many dairymen before be-
ginning to milk feed each COW. The
mixer hurries to get through because
IL the cow finishes her meal before the
mixer has done his work she EFFORTS
more feed by holding back her milk,
so must be fed again to keep her in
good humor. 1t is a better plan to do
the milking first and then feed imme-
diately, and cows that are accustomed
to this treatment generally give down
their milk cheerfully, for they know
that milking is prelude to feeding. A
COW is much smarter than she looks
and more grateful than most persons
would believe. So long as the cows
know they are not going to be struck
or beaten they will neither kick nor
hook. An experienced milkman will
never allow any loud talking or ex
citement about his barn or stable, for
the quieter the cows are kept the
greater the quantity Of milk given and
the easier the work is performed

Corn Fodder and EnsiIage.

Answering query as to the relative
value as dairy food of corn fodder
and corn ensilage, the Country Gentle
man says: AS regards digestibility the
two are about the same, but in actual
feeding tests ensilage has greater food
value than the stalks, being more COM
pletely eaten. Corn ensilage Is the
better milk producer. In some Yer
mont station experiments 14,262
pounds Of green corn, when dried, fed
with uniform daily allowance of hay
and grain, produced 1858 pounds Of
milk, while the same weight converted
into ensilage and fed with the same
daily ration of hay and grain produced
S,525 pounds of milk.

TREATING Seed Grains For Smut.

tECdStuS SSS0 SHbN"
The Office of experiment stations at
Washington recently received report
from the Wisconsin experiment sta
tion Of experiments carried on for the
purpose Of lessening the loss caused
by smut diseases Of barley. The treat
ments included soaking the seed grain
in formaldehyde and corrosive subli-
mate solutions and modified form of
the hot water treatment. The formal
dehyde and corrosive sublimate treat
ments were effective in controlling the
form of smut known as closed smut,
but they were without effect for the
loose smut Of barley. For the latter
it is recommended that the seed be
soaked for twelve hours in cold water,
after which it should be submerged
from five to twenty minutes in water
at a temperature of 130 degrees. AS
this treatment is efficient for both
forms of smut, it is recommended for
combating smut diseases Of barley.

Thumps In Swine.

Medicines cannot do much for pigs
affected by thumps, says Professor
Thomas Shaw in the New England
Homestead But to guard against con-
stipation it may be well to give a
physic, as castor oil or salts. The
other remedial measures are the same
as the preventive. They consist in
enforcing exercise. This may be
brought about by chasing the pigs
about the pen with switch when the
SOW is eating or shut away from them
A second method is to shut them away
from the SOW in a pen or box and al
low them to worry for a time in the
effort to get back. The exercise which
they get under such conditions will be
of much benefit to them.

|RESCUiNG
AND
/ SAVING A HERD
By BUFFALO BILL
FROM TRUE TALES OF THE PLAINS
e,,pyRtcHr1sos sYU,1IL Lara EcopY

W UNE 1S, 1869, under General Eu-
gene A. Carr, saw us hunting for
a band of Indian dog soldiers"
who were, like the Irishman's
fea, here, there and at times every
where.
Nebraska, Colorado and Kansas were
all excited over the depredations Of
these renegades. They had murdered
.ight and left, had captured several
nundred mules and horses and destroy
ed wagon trains, as we could tell by
The trail of some shod animals. What
intensified our desire to punish or cap
ture them was the fact that they had
some white captives-Mrs. Alderdice,
whose husband and children they had
Killed, and Mrs. Weigel, whose hus-
band and family had also been mas
sacred, and these two women were
known to be still alive and with them.
At last we got on their trail and had
almost daily skirmishes, and General
Carr decided to use some stratagem
to see if we could not get them in a
tight place. He consulted with me,
and after day Of continual skirmish-
ing and a night attack he ordered
retrograde movement, which created
a good deal of discussion between the
officers and men at the time. Appar
emily abandoning the pursuit, he re-
tired as if going back to the fort, and
In two or three days, as he surmised,
the Indians were nowhere to be seen,
having come to the conclusion that
we were disheartened and that they
could with impunity take little re-
pose themselves. This was exactly
what our willy commander desired, as
he intended to retrace his steps and
catch them sleeping. So, being sure
that there were no Indians in sight,
he packed all the grub possible on the
mules, burned the wagons and i'm
pedimenta and Immediately started to
make forced marches in their direc-
tion
AS / had surmised, they were head
ing for Summit Springs, few miles
south of the Platte river and among
the sand hills, which formed a beau
tiful little oasis, as 1t were, for a
camp ground. Striking their trail by
judging from their daily campfres, we
made in one day the same distance
that they made in three, but when
near the Springs, as we saw the trail
getting fresher, we covered four of
their days journeyings, with all their
impedimenta and village outfit, in one
day and landed at the opportune mo
ment ready for business, while the enc
my had been thrown off their guard
and gave us an opening that resulted
SO gloriously that this battle is recog-
nized as having been one of the most
effective in the early breaking Of the
power Of the red man on the plains.

writes:

AS soon as the fight was over and
saw that we had captured some oi
their herd as well as our own I saw
that Powder Face was not with them
but I recognized him half mile away,
his rider heading for the hills. This
made me hot, and, knowing that the
Indians would think others were fol

got near enough for shot. My first
shot killed the horse that an Indian
