CUT TREES IN WINTER.

Tree cutting should be done in win
ter. Timber dries slowly at this time
Of year, and there is little damage
from season checking.
Logs are handled economically in the
winter months, points out Charles A.
Scott, state forester of the Kansas
State Agricultural college. A sled can
be constructed on which four times as
many logs can be hauled as ON wheels
If logs or posts are cut in winter
they become we'll seasoned before they
are set, and proper seasoning is the
most economical preservative treat
ment one can give to posts or poles.
All the great industrial concerns,
such as railroad, telegraph and tele-
phone companies, that use enormous
quantities of timbers, specify that they
must be cut between Oct. 1 and March
/. Experience has shown that best re.
suits have been obtained by cutting at
this time.

A DURABLE WHITEWASH.
The Way to Mix 1t Properly De-
scribed In Full.

scribed In Full.
Whitewash is so commonly used
around the farm that it is advisable to
know just how to make it properly,
says the Farm Progress. The follow
ing recipe for cement whitewash is
made use Of by owners Of cold storage
warehouses who desire a snowy white
wash that dries quickly, adheres
strongly to cement, brick or wood and
does not rub off on the clothes.
Stake one-half bushel Of lime with
boiling water adding the water slowly
and stirring constantly until thin
paste results. A five foot piece Of
three-quarter inch iron pipe makes
good rod for stirring. The lime will be
lumpy if the water is added freely and
the mass is not properly stirred. Add
one-half peck of salt to the lime paste;
stir thoroughly; add water to bring the
whitewash to the proper consistency
Throw a good handful Of Portland &C.
ment in each pail of whitewash and a
teaspoonful Of ultramarine blue. Add
the cement and the blue powder just
before the wash is to be used and stir
in we'll, otherwise the whitewash will
be streaked. The cement makes the
whitewash adhere strongly to any sur
face, and the bluing counteracts the
grayish color of the cement and results
in white appearance.
