WHITEWASH

The following formula for white
wash has been recommended by
the United States Department of
Agriculture:
Take halt a bushel of unslaked
lime, slaxe it with boiling water
and v during process to keep
in steam. Strain the liquid through
a line sieve or strainer and add to it
a peck of salt previously dissolved
in water, three pounds of ground
rice boiled to a thin. paste and
stirred in while hot, half a pound of
Spanish whiting and one pound of
clean glue previously dissolved by
soaking in cold water and then
hanging over a slow fire in a small
pot hung in a larger one filled with
water. Add five gallons o. hot
water to the mixture, stir well and
let il ;tand for a few days covered
from dirt. 1t should be applied
hot for which purpose it can be
kept in a portable furnace. Color
ing matter may be added as de-
sired. Where less durable white.

But few people in the northern

that a new town is springing up in
the southern part of Nye county, in
the lower end Of the state. Yet
there it is, and it has already risen
to the distinction of being able to
support a weekly paper. Thename
of the town is Carrara and the
paper will be- known as the Obelisk.

A DOZEN "EGYPTS" IN
THE united STATES

Undoubtedly the choice of the
name Egypt for towns in the Unit
ed States is traceable to the fact
that Bible lore was so large a part
of the schooling of the people.
There r q dozen Offices under this
name including two that are called
Egyp pit Mills. An item in the India
napolis News says that the south
ern part uf Illinois is called Egypt
and not AZ all in any sense that it
is the land of darkness or other
notorious faults that history ac-
credits to the name. The opposite
indeed is tire case.
In 1884 the people Of the upper
Wabash valley, being in need, went
into southern Illinois for their
seed corn. The supply was so gen.
erously shared that with reference
to the Kindness of Joseph and not
at all to the Observation-Disclosures of
Pharoah the region was called
Egypt for a long time.
