WhiieWashes for
Tree Protection

In the course of a year the Marie
Agricultural Experiment Station is
called upon to supply many and va
ried kinds of information. Recently
numerous requests have been received
asking fer the receipt for making the
so-called Government whitewash.
Although the formula has been fire.
quently published in farm papers and
other journals the value of this prep
aration and the method of making ii
is net as well known as ii should be.
This Is the same material as is used
on the east end of the White House
in Washington and upon the light
houses a'ong the coast A pint of the
wash will, If properly applied, cover
about square yard. 1t Is much cheap
er than the cheapest paint and is al
most as servieeable as paint for wood,
brick or stone. There are many eco
nofnlcal uses for it about the farm.
This station has recently used it sue
cessfully on brick and stone walls in
making dark basement much lighter,
clean and sanitary. The following is
the method for preparing and applying
the white wash paint:
Sake half tushel of fresh, high
grade stone lime with boiling water,
Keeping covered as much as possible
10 keep In steam. Strain the liquid
through fine sieve or strainer. Add
To II a peck of salt previously dissolved
in hot water, 3 pounds of ground rice
boiled to thin paste and stirred in
while hot. half a pound of whiting,
and che pound of clear glue previous
ly dissolved by soaking in colo water
and then hanging over a slow fire in
a small pot in larger one filled Will,
water. Add gallons OF not water to
the mixture and stir we'll Allow to
stand for few days. covered from
dirt. The MIXTURE should be applied
hot with a paint or whitewastl brush.
Using the whitewash as a basis other
colors may be prepared il desired. For
cream color add yellow ochre: pearl
or lead, add lamp black or ivory
black; fawn, add proportionally 1
pounds of lumber to one of Indian red
and one of common lamp-black; COM
mon stone color. add proportionately
pounds of raw lumber to pounds
OF lamp-baek.
. Another form of whitewash has been
used in some of the WESTERN states for
washing the trunks of apple trees Ii
the fall OF winter, and for covering the
larger branches of old trees when the
latter are cut back for top working.
it is claimed that this tends to re-
fleet the SUMS rays and thus prevent
sun seald. This Station has used 1t
in Il small way at Highmoor Farm but
the results to date are inconclusive.
The formula for the orchard Wash
is given below:

Steamer Is Badly
Damaged by Iceberg

st. Johns, n. T., Nov. with her
bows crushed in as far as the forward
bulkhead, and listing badly to port,
as result of collision with an ice
berk, the Furness liner Manchester
Commerce crept into port here, today.
The Manchester Commerce, which
was bound from Montreal for Man
chester under command of Captain
Couch, struck the berg head-on about
100 miles east of Belle Isle, at
o'clock Sunday morning. The night
was very dark, and the berg loomed
cut of the blackness so suddenly that
there was no time to change the
course of the steamer, which crashed
n full speed into the great mountain
of ice. The force of the impact was
terrific and the steel prov of the
liner was crumpled up like a piece of
tin as far aft as the collision bulk
head and the decks Were covered with
fragments of ice.
Captain Couch made a hasty survey
of the damage, notified his agents at
Montreal of the accident and headed
his ship for st. Johns.
The sea was swept by a heavy
storm and the steamer had a lard
time making port. Torrents Of water
poured into the hold from the crum-
pied bow and the pumps, although
constantly in operation, could no more
than hold their own against the in
rushing flood.
When the Manchester Commerce
reached here she was in a precarious
condition, and shipping men declared
that she WAS the worst iceberg wreck
that had ever entered the harbor.
The steamer carried about 5000 tons
of general cargo, and this is believed
TO he unchanged. Her lower hold,
above which the water did not come,
was filled with timber. while the grain,
-four and other foodstufts were on a
deck above.
The repairs to the steamer viii re-
qliirc about two months.
The Manchester Commerce carries
n crew of about 40 officers and men.
She is built of iron and registers 1868
tons gross.
