HOW TO Use WHITE
WASH ON THE FARM

The Australians use a whitewash
which it is asserted will not rub off. 1t
is prepared in the following manner:
Dissolve two pounds Of ordinary glue
in seven pints of water and when all
Is dissolved add six ounces of bichro-
mate of potassium dissolved in a pint
of hot water. stir the mixture up
well and then add sufficient whiting
to make it up to the usual consistency
and apply with a brush in the ordinary
manner as quickly as possible. This
dries In Il very short time and by the
action of light becomes converted into
perfectly insoluble waterproof sub
stance which does not wash off even
with hot water and at the same time
does not give rise to mold growth. as
Whitewash made up with size often
does 1t may be colored to any desired
shade by the use of trace of aniline
dye or powder cooring. while by the
addition of II small proportion of calcic
sulphite its antiseptic power is much
increased.
A recent consular report states that
a traveller in the rural districts of Uru-
quay will be struck by the fine white
color of the farm buildings even dur
ing the wet season. This neat effect
is secured by the use of whitewash
prepared by macerating the sliced
leaves of the common cactus in water
for twenty-four hours producing a
liquid of creamy consistency, to which
lime is added and the whole we'll mix
ed. 1t is suggested that in sections OF
the United States where the cactus Is
abundant it might be utilized with adj
vantage in this manner. The effect Is
durable.
These whitewashes, like all those
which contain milk, -four, glue or 9TH
er organic matter. are not recommend
ed for use in damp, interior places

HIGH LINE CANAL FACTS AND FIGURES

Information regarding these bonds, and
it would appear that there Will be

The amount OF bonds voted by the

Irrigation Laws of the State ofWash-
ington. hich provides that the Board
of Directors may not incur any debt
or liability whatever in excess of the
amount voted by the district, with
the exception of the sum of - 10000.

HOW TO TREAT YOUR
HORSE WITH NANCE

There are three species of minute
insects producing mango in horses
psoroptes, sarcoptes and symbiotes.
The psoroptes are most commonly found
and invade the name and tail--in other
words, those parts of the animal cover
ed with "horsehair." says w. X. Gilbert
In the Farm Journal. These parasites
by puncturing the skin give rise to
small pimples. which ultimately burst
and discharge pus and serum. They
do not burrow underneath the skin like
the sarcoptic variety.
These latter insects infest the Shout
ders, neck and body of the horse PIN
Piles containing serum appear, but as
their contents dry up quickly the ami
mails skin has very dry and scaly APP
pearance. The female parasite burrows
into the skin and leaves her eggs be-
hind her in the channels she makes.
Symbiotes are found in the long hairs
of the legs and by the itching they set
up are often responsible for the con-
tinuous stamping noticed occasionally

Attempts to Grow Fruit Without Fer

The Illinois agricultural experiment

chief objects of the experiments were
to determine the relative efficiency OF
different amounts of manure and meth
DDS of application Of manure, the effect
of suppementing manure with COM
mercial forms of phosphorus, the effect
of using complete commercial feru-
izer in connection with manure and

experiments were conducted on typical

as to whether failure of one prop

crease the tax of the rest of those

handled in the same way as a school
district or municipal tax and a fail

owner causes the issuance of a ccrtif-

When fattening an old hen or any
fowl that is apt to he tough feed it on
bread soaked in vinegar for about SIX
DAYS before killing, and the meat will
be tender.
Laying hens should be fed literally
during cold days, for they need not
only the usual quantity of feed to
manufacture eggs. but an extra sup
ply to counteract the effects of the
cold.
1t is more essential that the poultry
house be cleaned out oftener in the
winter than in summer for during
cold weather the house is shut up and
the gases are confined. thus increasing
the danger from disease.
