"Whitewashing" is in season at all times
on the farm, but` especially so during the
eumnuer and about the,poultry premises in
particular.
All the out -houses, coops, fences, and
even the trunks of trees can stand a thorough
washing twice a year, and the whole pre-
mises thereby, made to take on a more neat,
uew and attractive appearance. White
makes a beautiful contrast with the green
fo1ii g
of -the treesandsurroendin's, but is
considered by some too glaring and hard on
the eye. This can easily be remedied by the
addition of a little dry coloring as may suit
one's liking.
.Poultry houses and coops should be white-
washed inaide and out. All the neat boxes
and other fixtures should receive a pouting.
The ordinary lime and water wash has the
disadvantage of easily washing off, and also
sticking to and marking ones clothes or
whatever runs against it. We clip from the
American Poultry Yard, three excellent re-
cipes for making whitewash that will not
rub off :
1. Slake in boiling water, one-half bushel
of lingo, keeping it just fairly covered with
water during the proctisa. Strain it, to re-
move the sediment that will fall to the bot-
tom, and add to it a peck of salt dissolved
m warm water ; three pounds of ground
rice boiled in water to a thin paste ; one-
half pound powdered Spanish whiting, and
a pound of clear glee dissolved in warm
water. Mix the different, ingredients
thoroughly and let the mixture stand for
several days. When ready to use, apply
it hot. If a less quantity is desired, use
the same proportions.
2. A good whitewash for use ttpon out-
side work may be prepared as follows :
Slake in boiling water one-half bushel of
lime and strain as before. Add to this two
pounds of sulphate of zinc and one pound of
salt dissolved in water. If any color hut
white is desired add about three pounds of
the desired coloring matter, such us paint-
ers use in preparing their paints. "i allow
ochre will make a beautiful bream color,
browns, reds, and various shades of green
are egnally easily obtained.
3. Another 'excellent wash, lasting almost
as well as ordinary paint, may he prepared
for outside work as follows : Slake in boil-
ing water one-half bushel of lisle. Strain
so as to remove all sediment. Adel two
pounds of sulphate of zinc, one pound com-
mon salt, and one-half pound whiting, thor-
oughly dissolved. Mix to proper consis-
tency with skinned milk and apply hot.
If white is not desired, add enough coloring
.natter to produce the desired shade. Those
who have tried this recipe consider it much
superior, both in appearance and durability,
to ordinary washes, and some have not hesi-
tated to declare that it compares very favor-
ably with grkod lead paints. It is much
cheaper than paint and and gives the
houses and yards to which it is applied a
very attractive appearance.

Things We Do Not De.
1. We do not consider that we know
everything about butter -making, as some-
thing new is being discovered every month.
Not only from our own work are we. con-
tinually learning, but also from the obser-
vation and researelt of others.
2. We do not. keep a cow that makes less
than 200 pounds of butter in a year;
3. Nor put the dry cow on a starvation
ration ;
4. Nor expect a co* to make something
out of nothing; '
5. Nor keep our cows in an ice -house,
hog -pen or dungeon ;
6. Nor allow them to go a whole year
without carding or brushing them.
7. Nor depend upon pasture alone for a
supply of summer feed.
S. We do not allow the milk to stand
very long in the stable to absorb foul odors.
9. We ego not neglect to strain the milk
at once after milking ;
10. Nor set the milk in sleep cans in well
water without changing the water at least
twice, or without ice ;
11. Nor mix sweet cream with cream to
be churned less than twelve hours before
churning. (The cream is ripened in one ves-
sel which holds the cream for the whole
churning) ;
12. Nor add scalding water to the cream;
nor guess at the temperature with the
finger ; nor take two or three hours to
churn ;
13. Nor gather the butter until the
"dasher stands on top," and then dip it out
of the buttermilk ;
14. Nor add coarse salt by guess ; nor
work the butter into grease.
15. And finally, we do not send our but-
ter to market wrapped in old rags that may
have seen other service in the home.—

SMUT IN CANADIAN WHEAT.
Our Grain Realized °Lean in England On,
This Account.
From all accounts our wheat is coming
into poor repute in the old country markets.
What with complaints about faulty inspec-
tion and smut it would seem that unless
some action is speedily taken the export
trade in wheat will be even mach more seri.
ously handicapped than it is now. President
Baird, of the Toronto Board of Trade, made
two statements the other day which should
open the eyes of every one to the importance
of avoiding spout in our wheat. He said
English importers of Canadian wheat had
his season demanded a rebate of two and
three shillings a quarter from Canadian
shippers on account of thepresence of smut
in Ontario wheat, and he auded he believed
that if our wheat had been free from shut
we should have had a good steady export
demand up to the present time.
A bulletin of the Agricultural College,
Guelph, published a couple of years ago,
treats of smut and the remedy. It says, in
the course of an interesting description of
its habits, when wheat is affected with
smut the grains are shorter and more
swollen than usual and present a greenish,
dark color. Sometimes they aro cracked.
These affected grains are completely filled
with minute round black spores, having an
unpleasant smell, and presenting under the
microscope a somewhat rbughened appear-
ance. rho reproductive bodies called
epoi•idea or sporules are produced outside
the wheat plant, but when they come in
contact with the young lost they find its
way into its t i'sues, and running up the
stem between the cella they finally reach
the seed and bear spores in tiny stalks. It
has been ca)eii ated that one grain may con-
tain 40,')00,009 spores enclosed within the
thin skin and not exposed as in the common
smut of wheat and oats. Investigation
indicate§ that tine trouble in plants
attn ,ked. comes from the ground and
travel. upwards ; that the results of the at
tack manifest themselves in the heart, ant)
aspocially is the grain ; tint s'crl
from smut results in much of t'n• wh.'.'

Weis% smutty, Pasaitlg through the enhna1
sjkes not destroy the germinating power .of
ut, coils► uontly the spores in manure
are inti condition to spread the trouble, • As
It is readily seen on .atTeoted parts and may
be Oohed off, it should be gathered and des-
troyed by fire Or otherwise. It is not sutil•
tient to pick off the smut and throw it upon
the ground, as the (Toros will still continue
to form.. The remedies suggested ere ;--(1)
Sow clear aged ; (2) steep seed five minutes
ln'a solution of copper sulphate (1 lb. to I
gallon of water), constantly stir so as to wet
the grain evenly, then spread on a floor to
dry, or add some land plaster or slacked
lime and mix until dry. One gallon is about
enough for four bushels. Some prefer
using a weaker solution and allowing a'
longer time ; e.g., 1 lb. copper sulphate to
four gallons of water an steep 24 hours ;
(3) 1 lb. caustic potash in six gallons of
water ; let soak a day. Or, take 40 lbs.
hardwood ashes in ten gallons of water, let
this stand a day,stirring from time to time,
and the water poured off will be a solution
about the same strength as the preceding.
(4) Brine strong enough to float an egg does
very well if the seed is kept in it for sev-
oral hours, with occasional stirring. (5)
Immerain4 the grain' in hot water 135° F.
for five minutes, or 132 F. fou fifteen min-
utes, destroys smut spores without injury
to the grain. A temperature of 5° above or
below this falls•in its results. By keeping
the seed in a sack made of :oats► material
it may be readily dipped into any of the
solutions recommended.

Live Stock Notes.
As soon as the cow begins to do extra
work give her extra food to sustain her
system.
Lambs in movable pens make excellent
destroyers of plantains and other weeds on
the lawn.
Feed the horse .three times daily and
never between meals, no matter how match
he may whinny. Water before feeding.
Strictly choice cattle are not in excess of
the demand at any time. There is always
an extra price ready for an extra choice ar-
ticle, and this applies tc everything that
may be produced.
One reason why fowls pay is because they
are economists to turn waste products into
salable commodities. Poultry on a large
scale fails, owing to the fact that there are
not wastes enough to use in proportion to
the number of birds kept, and cash goods
have to Ise used for them. Every farm can
with profit maintain a suitable flock, but
there is a limit beyond which it will not pay
most of us to go.
Bantams usually receive more attention
in sunnier and fall that is given them
earlier: The matter of profit to be derived
from them depends on the uses to which
they arc pot. Bantams find but little sale
in market, and their eggs are too small to
ship, but in proportion to their size they
lay larger eggs than do other breeds and at
no greater, cost for food, while their eggs
are fully equal to larger epgs for use at
home, and in that respect they are fully as
profitable as the las-ger breeds.
Hogs require a great deal of water and it
would he better wisdom to give them pure,
cool water titan to stuff them with foul
"swill" as so many farmers do. fare water,
clean quarters and foods slake the best pork.
Sheep are neglected in the way in insuffi-
cient water more than any other domestic
animals. Formerly it was quite common
belief that sheep could get along without
water when on pastures and "eat snow" in
the winter, but no one noW who makes
sheep raising a profitable business lets them
go without good Water and plenty of it.
Proper watering is certainly more economi-
cal and humane than losing the benefits
from feeding because of neglect in this line.
A young calf allowed to suck its dam gets
a little warm milk many times a day. It
will fatten faster than we have ever been
able to fatten calves by any process of hand
feeding. One difficulty is that the milk,
even if no cream has been taken off, is
usually not so warm as that direct from the
cow. The great point in hand feed-
ing is regularity. Whatever food is
given should be warmed to new
milk heat, and fed at two meals, twice
per day. The calf eats better than with
a noon -day meal, and the foal has plenty
of time to digest before the stomach is
again loaded. In this wr,y healthful
digestion is promoted, and :f the calf is
kept till six months old it will be better
than if .allowed „to rely on its dam for
food.
Cantron in Using POI?. 01114,
There is no danger in properly using
paris green and londom.purple if the follow-
ing rules are observed : The poison should
he kept in a safe place, and plainly labeled
"Poison." Do not distribute the poison
with this glands. Always keep to the wind-
ward side of plants or trees when applying
the powder or liquid. Do not use them
upon leaves or fruits which are soon to be
eaten. Thereis seldom, if ever, any danger
in eating vegetables and fruit after they
have been exposed to the sun and rain for
a few weeks, as several pounds or bushels of
treated fruits or vegetables would have to
be consumed at one time by one indi-
vidual to get a sufficient dose of the poison
to produce serious results. Test the
strength of the diluted mixture on a few
plants first to ascertain if it will injure
the leaves. Never apply it to fruit trees
while in bloom, as the poison will kill the
bees so necessary to the formation of perfect
fruit.
