Benefits of Whitewash. This is the beet season to put on whitewash. Every outhouse and fence made of plank should be whitewashed. They look so much better that it pays just to look at. But all kinds of lumber lasts so much longer if kept whitewashed that it pays well for that reason. AgaiD, lime is a great disinfectant. It pays to use it freely about your j premises Very many diseases would I be avoided by using whitewash freely. This applies to the farm animals as i well as to the people. If whitewash is put on in the fall the freezes and long winter rains destroy a great part of it. But if put on in the spring it will last very much longer. Do not neglect this. It costs very little money and not much time. Can be put on while you are waiting for the ground to dry enough to go in - . . m. . I ? . .

I? your farm looks bright and attractive you will be thought more of. A RECEIPT FOR MAKING Dissolve the quick lime in hot water. For every bushel of lime used, add four pounds rice, boiled to a paste, and one pound glue dissolved in hot water. When ready to use add a teacup full of kerosene oil to every two gallon bucket full of wash and stir it thoroughly. This will make it last much longer. If you wish the wash very white use one pound Spanish whiting to each bushel of lime. Wh I lo w q c V) nocd frcolT? incirlo cin/t IT UltV ??

In the life of every youth there comes a peiiod when be is growing so fast that he is awkward, when his clothiDg hangs loosely on him, and his arms push through his sleeves with such baste that his mother wonders whether a day will ever come when his hands will look in proportion to bis size. Patience mother and do not emphasize the little difficulties incidental to rapid growth in your comments and criticisms. Tell the boy when be pleases you that he is your dearly beloved, aDd let him still have his share of the petting he likes, big boys need racther-love and kisses just as little ones do. But do not exclaim when he knocks down a chair in his clumsy progress through the room, and refrain from calling attention to any littlfl fnrcetfnlnpfls of his. in enmmnv. ? - ? j JT J If you have made him your cc m. panion, and treated him as if hewers a reasonable being, and his sister's equal, from babyhood on, you will not need to be fearful about bis ultimate coming out just right. He will be fully grown one of these days, and a creed to you; and in the meantime make home happy for him, aDd devote yourself to his real interest with an eye to the future. If he likes athletics, so much the better. A boy whose physical life is upbuilt by healthful and regular exercise, will usually make finer men, mentally and spiritually, than will one who is timid and shrinking, and who recoils from hearty outdoor sports.
