GOOD RECIPE FOR WHITEWAsH
Formula Employed by United States
Government on Its Buildings Out

The season is always at hand when
there is a demand for a good white

The following formula is employed
by the United States government

outranks any other formula in exist
ence. 1t has been published before.

Take half a bushel of unslacked
lime, slack in warm water, 1t

water; three pounds Of ground rice
boiled to a thin paste and stirred in
boiling hot; half a pound of powdered
Spanish whiting and a pound of glue
which has been previously dissolved
over a slow fire.
Add five gallons of hot water to the
mixture, stir well and let it stand for
a few days, covered to keep out the
dirt; strain carefully and apply hot

GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Set every broody hen, but not on
pullet eggs-that is, birds under nine
months old.
Renew the sand in the poultry
yards. Clean all the houses and pens,
and whiteVash.
Give the interior Of the poultry
houses and all the outbuildings a coat
of whitewash.
Don't run the horses too fast. Let
them get used to the hard spring
work gradually.
Put tight fasteners on your feed
bins. The precaution may save you
a good COW or horse some day.
It won't matter what shape flower
beds you make-round, square or OBJ
long-so long as you make them.
Feed the poultry earlier than you
did a month ago. When daylight
comes the chickens want their feed.
Snap beans demand a warm soil
and should not be planted too early.
They may follow the first crop OF
radishes or lettuce.
Do not be a selfish gardener. Plant
literally so your pigs, chickens and
COWS may occasionally have a meal
from the garden.
Water the sweet potato bed with
warm water occasionally. This Will
heir force the slips. Cover the bed
in cold weather.
Peanuts are relished by most fowls.
Spanish peanuts are easily grown,
the roots benefit the soil. the hay Is
nutritious for stock and the nuts val
liable for fowls. Plant plenty OF pea
nuts and give the fowls access to
them.
Cotton boil weevils do not thrive
on wheat, oats, corn and hay. Those
who plant grain and hay crops will

value of their cotton for these pro-
ducts.

Treatment for Lump Jaw.

Lump jaw is due to a fungus which
is usually taken into the animals sys-
tenn in feed consumed. Lump jaw is
liable to affect the glands of the
throat or the bones of the head. writes
Doctor David Roberts in American
Cultivator. 1t is not advisable to keep
an animal thus afflicted lingering in
a herd. On the other hand it is adj
visable to either treat such an animal
or kill it, as such animals invite dis
eases into the herd, owing to the fact
that they are so reduced in vitality
that they have no resisting power.
A remarkably large per cent. of such
cases can be successfully treated if
taken in time by opening up the en-
largement and washing it out with a
strong %antiseptic solution, like five OF
carbolic acid in water, and putting the
animals on a tonic. In this way the
afflicted animal is not only saved, but
the entire herd is protected against
disease.

NEW KIND OF CORN
Small Lot Sent from China to
Agricultural Department.
Possesses Qualities That May Make I,
Valuable In Breeding Variety
Adapted to Hot and Dry
Conditions In Southwest.

A small lot OF shelled corn, OF a kind
that Is new to this country. was sent
to the United States department Of
agriculture from Shanghai. China, In
1908, and tested the same season. It
proved to have qualities that may
make 1t valuable in breeding a corn
adapted to the hot and dry conditions
of the southwest. The plants raised
in the test average less than 6 feet in
height, with an average of IL green
leaves at the time of ~tasseling. The
ears averaged 5h inches In length and
4 1-3 inches in greatest circumfer-
ence. with 16 to 18 rows of small
grains. On the upper part of the plant
the leaves are all on one side of the
stalk. instead of being arranged In two
rows on opposite sides. Besides this,
the upper leaves stand erect, instead
Of dropping and the tips of the leaves
are therefore above the top Of the tas-
sci. The silks of the ear are produced
at the point where the leaf blade Is
joined to the leaf sheath, and they ap-
pear before there is any sign of an ear
except a slight swelling.
This corn is very different from any
that is now produced in America. It's
peculiar value is that the erect ar
rangement of the leaves on one side
of the stalk and the appearance Of the
silks in the angle where the leaf blade
joins the sheath offer a protected place
in which pollen can settle and fer
tilize the silks before the latter are
ever exposed to the air. This is an
excellent arrangement for preventing
the drying out Of the silks before pol
lination. While this corn may be Of
little value itself, it is likely that, by
cross-breeding, these durable quail
ties car be impaired to a larger corn.
which will thus be better adapted to
the southwest.
The discovery of this peculiar corn
In China suggests anew the idea that.
although America is the original home
of corn, yet it may by some means
have been taken to the eastern hem
Isphere long before the discovery Of
America by Columbus. From descrip-
tons in Chinese literature corn is
known to have been established in
China within less than a century after
the voyage of Columbus. But this
seems a short time for any plant to
have become widely known and used.
Besides, this particular corn is so DIFF
ferent from anything In the new
world that 1t must have been de-
veloped in the old world. and for that
to happen in a natural way would take
a very long time.

Must Have
Hurt Dreadfuly
From the Letter Recently Received
From Mrs. E. Fourier, Of
Lake Charles, La, Her
Suffering Must Have
Been Dreadful.

Lake Charles, La.-"I had no
age or patience left" writes Mrs. E.
Fourier OF this place, "as a result OF
my great suffering.
Il had b~ackache, headache, heart
palpitation, chills, fainting spells, sick
stomach, nervousness, dragging sensa-
lions and thought every month I
should die.
mo doctor could relieve me and the
month before began to take Cardui, l
could hardly walk. l could not wea my
corset, and had a pain in my right side.
"Since taking Cardui, / have no more
pain. / can walk as far as l want and
am feeling like a different woman"
If you suffer from any of the symp-
toms described by Mrs. Fourier you
are urged to take Cardui, for it should
surely do as much for you, as it has
done for her.
If you are weak and ailing, suffer from
lack of appetite, lack of blood, lack of
nervous vitality, Cardui is probably just
what you need to help you build up
your physical and nervous constitution.

Poultry Food.

Nearly every poultryman has a diff
ferent formula for feeding his poul-
try from dry mash hoppers. Frequent
ly the mash consists of ground grain
of all common kinds. Sometimes the
grain is not ground. Again mixtures
of wheat, bran or middlings. buck
wheat bran or middlings, pinhead or
rolled oats, or corn meal are mixed
in various proportions with beef scrap,
charcoal and grit. You will hardly
find two men who agree on proper
tions or ingredients. Every man must
study out his own problem for himself.
He must take into consideration the
breed of fowls he keeps, the amount
of green feed he gives, the amount OF
range the fowls have, and a dozen
other points and then decide on what
he thinks best.

~Housekeeper,s Hands.

Daily contact in cold weather with
dishwater, coal ashes and other coarse
work makes the housekeeper's hands
rough and sometimes sore and cracked
as to be constantly painful. Neglect
to dry the hands well and harsh tow
els are prime causes for this state Of
the skin. Also neglect to cover the
hands when working in the cold. Keep
a cup of cornmeal near the kitchen
sink or on the wash stand. and after
washing the hands with good soap and
water that will not irritate the skin.
rinse in clear water and partially dry
them. Rub some of the cornmeal over
the hands as if it were soap until 1t
has taken all the black from the pores
of the skin, then wipe on a soft towel
and apply a healing wash.

Irregular Eggs.

The primary trouble is liberation Of
the oviduct, followed by a dilated spot
in the egg passage. which affects the
evenness of the egg. 1t is not rn-
common among our non-sitting breeds.
Pullets that have been unduly forced
by stimulating food, condiments and
excessive meat diet, are likely vic
tins to the disorder. Low diet with
plenty Of vegetables, is recommended.
Avoid meat for a time, and do not feed
too much corn. AS this complaint is
an hereditary one, breeding with birds
affected with ovarian troubles should
be avoided.

ONLY FOR SEASONED PILATES
Chill Con carne, Mexican Dish,
Was Never Intended for tho
Nursery.

The Mexicans have a dish known
Is chill con carne" (meat with chill
pepper. the ingredients for which
one would doubtless have difficulty In
obtaining except in the southwestern
United States. However. a good SUBJ
stitute for 1t may be made with the
foods available in all parts Of the
country. The Mexican recipe Is as fol-
lows:
Remove the seeds from two chill
peppers, soak the pods in a pint OF
warm water until they are soft. scrape
the pulp from the skin and add to the
water. Cut two pounds Of beef into
small pieces and brown in butter or
d%rippings. Add a Glove of garlic and
the chilli water. Cook until the meat
is tender. renewing the water If nee
essary. Thicker the sauce with flour.
Serve with Mexican beans either
mixed with the meat or used as a bor-
der.
In the absence of chill peppers.
water and cayenne pepper may be
used, and onions may be substituted
for garlic. For the Mexican beans.
red kidney beans either fresh or
canned make a good substitute. If
the canned beans are used they should
be drained and heated In a little sa-
vory fat Or butter. The liquid may
be added to the meat while it is cook
ing. If the dried beans are used they
should be soaked until soft. then
cooked In water until tender and
rather dry, a little butter or dripping
and salt being used for seasoning or
gravy. White or dried lima beans
may be used in a similar way.

PITY the Poor Cowboy!

stead of fresh foods, but there is no
such trend, save among certain deal
ers.

to be in the boots of the cowboy in the
barren sagebrush country who used
to send in, week after week, the same
order to the storekeeper:

little thing was starving, his mothers

two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a

ate so ravenously that she fixed a Sec

1T was not many days before he for
