Every poultryman should give the
henhouse a periodical coat of lime
wash and the oftener he does it the
better. The matter is very simple
one. If the house Is small all you may
want Is limewash brush and bucket
of water into which few handfulls
of quicklime have been put, well STIR
red together and allowed to settle The
stuff when put on should be about as
thick as cream. A handful of common
rough salt will help it to adhere to the
walls, spoonful or two of liquid car
bolic acid will help it to do its mur-
derous work on animal life and a little
bit of powder blue (washing blue) will
prevent the white coat turning yellow
by and by.
If the henhouse is large one 1t will
pay to use sprayer for putting on
the limewash. This is a most effective
way Of whitewashing any building.

Scientific Farming

Ilusbandmen are looking more favor
ably upon scientific agriculture as they
come to understand that the system
means farming according to the latest
discoveries of the laws of plant and
animal life. Farmers used to regard
scientific farming laws of agriculture
as formulated by some agricultural ed
itor who had no practical knowledge
of husbandry.
Science means classified knowledge
on any subject, arranged for easy ref
erence of the cause which produces
certain effects, Science preserves the
facts connected with every department
of knowledge, so classified that the stu
dent can obtain an understanding of
astronomy, medicine. chemistry, geol.
ogy, biology, entomology and bacteriol-
ogy. Without science the knowledge of
the ages would be lost and man would
be unable to make progress.
All Industries are operated for the
welfare and maintenance of man and
no profession is so allied to mankind

Agricultural Colleges

Agricultural colleges generally had

which some time later was enacted into
law, providing that lands be set aside
by the government as they had been
for the construction of the Pacific rail-
roads, from the proceeds Of the sale
of which schools should be established
for agricultural instruction. 1t Is in
teresting to note, says Harper's Week.
ly, that in this same year, when most
of the white men folk were away on
southern battlefelds, the Sioux Indians
of the state of Minnesota uprose and
massacred some 800 of the frontier
settlers and in the white mans repri-
sal thirty-eight of the leaders were
hanged on single scaffold in the town
OF Mankato. SO it may readily be be-
lieved farming at that time had not
been reduced to a pedagogic form, and
little was done in any of the states
for years except to provide a few lee
lures on bucolic subjects, for the pur-
pose OF hanging on to the appropria-
uon. When at last President tarwel
organized real course of instruction,
according to the lights of the time, it
was impossible to secure any student
TO pursue it, even by dint of bribery,
which the worthy instructors industri-
ously tried.

every one about her by the rustling of
Of many silken petticoats without pro

Electricity in Agriculture.


The cooperation of Prof. Sir Oliver
Lodge has recently been solicited In
England by experimenters desirous of
testing the effects of electricity in
stimulating the growth Of plants. Sir
Oliver Lodge himself describes some
of the results. Wires are stretched on
low poles over the field to be treated,
one pole per acre being sufficient. Posi-
tive electricity is supplied at DO
tential of about 100000 volts. The
negative electricity is conveyed direct
to earth. Persons walking under the
wires feel the electricity in the air.
The current is maintained for several
hours during the day, but is shut off
at night. During bright sunshine it
seems unnecessary, and may even be
harmful. In the case of wheat the
electrified plots showed an increase of
yield of from 30 to 40 per cent and
the wheat brought a better price in
the market. Other crops showed I'm.
provement also.
