ing or whltewashing barn and out

stir into a gallon of skinned
milk three pounds of Portland ce-
men,, and sufficient dry venetian
red or other dry paint powder Ia
lmpart good color. The milk will
hold the color in suspension, but
the cement being So heavy, will sink
to the bottom and the paint will
have To be kept well stirred with a
paddle as the painting proceeds.
Mix only enough at a time for one
days use.
This seems Ia be all right to use
on buildings that have been some
what neglected. Thick oil paint
might be applied over it in after
years If 50 desired, but might make
rather rough job"
or course 1t would not be wise TO
use such paint on good house. But
If 1t is an alternative between no
paint at all and a very cheap paint,
by all means use the cheap paint.

EARLY VEGETABLES


Is familiar with tobacco beds. Why
not spend little more time at IL
and make hot bed large enough
TO raise all the early lettuce, radish-
cs, and onions needed by the family
until regular garden grown truck is
ready? Here you can also raise TO-
mato and cabbage plants, and have
them ready TO set out in the garden
as soon as danger from frost is past.
Making a Hot Bed
The U. 5. Girls Canning Club Of
ilcials recommend the following
plan for making hot bed
Select well drained spot, where
the bed will be sheltered, preferably
on the south side OF building or
fence. The bed should be feet
wide and II, 10, IL, or perhaps q
feet long according to the number
Of vegetables you may be able to
use and sell. The hot bed should
be these sizes 50 they can be COW
cred with hot bed sash IL you can
afford il, land il certainly will pay
you in the long run TO have the
sash. Make an excavation ~
hes deep the size the bed is to
ne. Throw in fresh horse manure
and pack il by tramping. The ma
nure should come up about even
with the surface Of the ground or
IL inches deep. The manure fur
nishes the heat TO start the plants.
Put on top Of the manure 1 or 5
inches Of a good garden loan, which
has not grown any diseased plants,
aud cover the bed with glass hot
bed sash. II these cannot be Sc
cured, canvas may be substituted
for the glass. The temperature
will run high for a few days, so no
seed should be planted until the
temperature falls to about 10 de-
grees, which will require three or
four days.
The frame To- support the sash or
canvas should be about 10 TO 49,
inches high at the back, and six
inches lower at the front in order 10
drain of the water The slope
should he toward the south.
The bed should be made at once
So that seed can be sown and up by
the first Of March il possible, so
you can have lettuce, radishes and
onions 10 eat by the middle Of April.
Some vacant space should be left to
transplant tomato and cabbage
plants in when they have developed
their first true leaves so they will
be at least two inches apart each
way and thus have abundance Of
room TO make good strong plants
by May list
During bright days the bed will
heat very quickly. and it will be ne
cessary to ventilate by raising the
sash on the opposite side from the
wind. Toward evening close the
sash in order to get the bed warm
before night. Water the bed in the
morning on bright days, as watering
in the evening or on cloudy days
will have tendency to injure the
plants and increase the danger of
freezing. Nentilalc the bed after
watering to dry of the plants.

PRUNE FRUIT TREES NOW

PRUNING 1fult trees should beRln
any time now that IL is not freezing
cold, so that you can be sure TO get
all done before the sap starts to
rise. Grape vines will bleed TO death
If heavily pruned after the sap be-
gins to rise, and apple and other
fruit trees are liable to serious in
jury from pealing.
Pruning Grape Vines
Grape vines require severe prun-
ing every year. In fact most of The
growth OF vine Of the year before
should be cut away, leaving only
one or two buds Of last years
g'owth on each branch TO send Out
new growth Of vine to bear grapes
this year. The main vine should
not be trimmed clean Of branches
for long distance and just leave
few at toward the end, but there
should be branches all along the
vine from where il leaves the
ground If possible. Then when the
main vine grows old il can be cut
of and a branch starting near the
ground can become the main vine.
Pruning Apple Trees
Here are five rules for pruning
apple trees:
list, Cut out all dead wood.
2nd, Cut of all water sprouts.
Bird, Cut off all limbs smoothly and
close up to larger limb or body of
tree, so IL can heal over quickly.
eth, SaNe all fruit spurs possible.
Fruit spurs are the stubby little
limbs that bear fruit year after
year.
9Th, Open up the top so the sun
and air can get through the tree,
cutting out all limbs that rub and
cross each other.
There will be rules for pruning
other trees next week.
