Third -All other considerations will be subor- dinated to this one -viz., tale elim- ination of the causes of future war - fore. Fourth -This will be the sole objeot in view in the reorganization of Germany and Austria-Hungary. Fifth -In 'bringing about this reor- ganization the allies will take ac- count of the groups called national- ities, but without giving them the fictitious importance attributed to them by political anthropology... In order that is treaty have legal force there must be is mandatory whose duty it shall be to see that the stipulations of the treaty be strictly carried out, writes Yves Yuyot in North American Review. In 1815, for instance, 't'he Triple Al- liance first and the Quadruple Al- liance afterward undertook this task, and in the present instance the three allies will have to enter into a similar agreement and dis- tribute the roles between them, so that if one of the conquered powers should try to escape the conse- quences of its defeat it will imme- diately find itself in such a• position that a single injunction will suffice to obtain strict observance of the treaty, Such are the outlines of the ar- rangements which may guarantee a lasting peace bo Europe.

Being an average Tuan he wants a medium sized ]gorse, one that will do farm and road work comibined, One that will draw .a plow, barrow or wagon and possibly a oarl•iage or buggy, for the average farmer these days goes to church, pays some 80621 visits and likewise goes to the noun• try town, courtlhouse or ,post office pretty regularly writes Mr, J. M. Bell. - An 1,300 ore 2,000 ,pound drafter won't fill the bill for these varied requirements; neither 'will a. 700 or 800 pound scrub, The average farmer wants some- thing 'betwixt and between, as the saying is, I should say from 1,200 to 1,400 pounds -a team well built, with some snap and spirit, one that the owner or the hired man will hold the reins over with a feeling of pride and pleasure. Let the large manufacturing concerns in the city use the huge drafters. I knew a team of 1,100 pounds horses some years ae,>. One man drove them .consecutively for nine years hauling cord wood in the' sum- mer and fall mouths. Both of these horses were by sires who had a lib- eral strain of thoroughbred blood in their veins. They did farm work regularly un- til corn was laid. then they were put to hauling on the road. They were true and staunch draft horses, were never known to get stalled ,but once in nineyears, apd they were never arty. with a Whip, After 23 years of age each they were serviceably sound and were full of life,' Think of it: Twenty-one years of hard regular service and still able to earn their feed. They were of the weight, size and breeding, and, :besides, had been well taken care of all their lives. I know a yol;ng farmer' this year who is starting out and •vho b aught two heavy, awkward drafters .and also a 1,000 pound mare of goofs breeding. He worked the mare in the tease with the two big fellows and whenever he had occasion to take a, trip in his buggy, always drove the mate, letting the others rest, still she held her own and kept in good order. Too. much has been written and said advising the average farmer bo use heavy drafters. Let 'him sell them at big ',prices and use a mors medium-sized horse on the farm. One year's experience will show him that lie is right. Whitewash. Whitewash is the -cheapest of all paints for farm purposes and may be used either for exterior or in- terior surfaces. It can be made by slaking about ten pounds of quick- lime in a pail with two -gallons of water, covering the pail with cloth or burlap, and .allowing it to slake for one hoar. Water is then added to !bring the whitewash to a con- sistency which may be applied readily. A waterproof whitewash for ex• terior surfaces may made as fol- low s : (1) Slake one Ibnsltel of quick- lime in kwelve gallons of hot water; (2) dissolve two pounds of common salt and one pound of sulphate of zinc in two gallons of 'boiling wa- ter ; pour (2) into (1), then add two gallons of skim milk and mix thor- oughly, Whitewash is spread light- ly over the surface with a broad brash.
