A whitewash almost as good as paint for poultry houses, coops, etc., can be made as follows: . To each pound of fresh slaked lime, slaked in hot water, add one-quarter of a pound of Burgundy pitch dissolved by gently heating in a pint of linseed Oil: add to the hot limn mm skimmed milk, then add the mixture of pitch and oil, a little at a time, stirring all the while; finally add three pounds of holted whiting. If too stout to work well, add more of the milk. The addition of a little clear, fresh brine will add to the wearing qualities of the whitewash. Such a mixture requires a little work to get in shape, but when properly mixed and applied, is superior to many of the cheap readv-mixed paints. Orders to Russian Troops.

The Norfolk, Va., Ledger-Diaj patch tolls of a most wonderful cotton gin that litis boon invcntod by a , citizen of its town. Hero is a de| scription of tho gin as we find it in tho Lodger-Dispatch: It will bo of interest to tho people 'of Norfolk to know that a Norfolk num. J. .1. McNally, has invented and patented a cotton gin that bids fair (to revolutionize tho cotton industry | of tho South. Mr. McNally has been I diligently applying himself to tho construction of this gin for the last two years, in one of the largest machine shops in New Kngland, and now reports he has it perfected. Mr. T. II. Hirdsong, a prominent ginner of Courtland, Va., was in tho city to day en route home from Boston, Moss., where he had gone to inspect the working of this gin. When seen 111' 't rinififtur / it' t tin I nilrri.f^ lli^ti'ilnli he seemed very enthusiastic over what he had witnessed, and expressed himself most emphatically as to its j merits, Mr. Hridsong said: "The ?in Mr. McNally h;us invented will ,in my opinion, prove to be a complete success and no doubt revolutionize the cotton ginning industry of the South. I witnessed its successful operation, saw It rapidly pull seed without breaking a single strand and leaving no linters on the seed and, what is most remarkable, wthout the use of saws, knives or brushes. Jt is a very simple affair, constructed entirely of metal, and does not require more than one-third the horse-power required by the saw gin."' Mr. Birdsong showed the reporter some cotton seed taken from the McNally gin and stated: "I have seen a great amount of cotton ginned, hut I have never wen the seed strip pod of lint ho clean as that which passes through this Kin. "1'ho invention Is a process of ginning on entirely now linos from tho old, and gins wot cotton as woll as dry, and is tho only gin I have over soon that would successfully do this. While in Boston I conferred with several capitalists who aro desirous of taking a financial interest in the project and placing tho gin upon the market in time for next season's work. ".Mr. McNally is to ship his gin to my ginnery at Court land next week, whore it will bo installed and given an endurance and capacity tost upon thirty bales of cotton I have hold over just for this purpose. Kxports from Boston and elsewhere are anxious to witness its operation and will be on hand when notified, and I have no doubt but what they will see a complete success in the operation of this gin." Mr. T. H. Synon, of this city, who has an interest with Mr. McNally in this ?in project, and financing the same, was seen and he said: "The machine which Mr. Birdsong saw operate is Mr. McNally's fifth construction of this Kin before he got it perfected, and 110 doubt is an improvement upon the fourth one I saw operated last October, when I was called to Boston by Mr. McN'nlly to consider an offer for our Kin patents, that was made us by one of the leading firms of that city. We decided not to consider any proposition in advance of an organization and not until we had machines in operation in ginneries, but we did accept their offer for machines to he sent to Kgypt and Peru. The McNally pneumatic gin was recently seen by a party from Mississippi, one of th" largest and most expert ginners in the South. He was very much interested and is now negotiating with with us. for the purchase of a number of them. It has been seen in operation by nearly all the prominent cotton men of Boston and they stated it should make a saving of ?t ' ant $5 per bale by the increased length of the fibre, and this would mean a saving of $05,000,000 a year fo the planters of the South alone." Mr. Synon stated that he would endeavor to have these gins manufactured In Norfolk when the time comes. Besides this gin, Mr. McNally has also Invented and patented a continuous oil press now in successful operation in a number of oil factories in the South. Kngland's Colonies. The Imperial Press Conference in London seems to have been a really important meeting. While sight seeing, banquets and other social courtesies consumed a good deal of the lime there was also much Interchange of thought resulting in a clearer understanding of some vital questions. Perhaps the most significant thing about the conference was the emphatic recognition by members of the British government that the selfgoverning colonies are really Independent. Lord Crewe, Colonial Secretary, in presiding at one of the sessions referred to the colonies as "equals and allies." KNOWS HOW TO FARM SOMK VALIAHLK LKSSONS FROM A UOOI> FARMER \V!m? Fa mo Prom Ohio is Search of Health und Settled nn a North Carolina Farm. Mr. A. L. French recently told a Progressive Farmer reporter, who visited Sunny Home Stock Farm, an interesting story of his success on a North Carolina farm, which the reporter writes up as follows for his paper: Mr. French finished putting up GO tons of ha> at 0:110 one morning and ' caught a train at 9 o'clock to begin his institute work. At one of the j first institutes, after Mr. French had j finished talking, an old man back in the audience arose and said that the speakers were not farmers at all, but men who were talking of something of which they had no practical knowledge. Mr. French's reply was brief and to the point, "I will'show lists with you," ho said, extending his hand calloused by the toil of the! hay field, "and the people who are ! here can judge which of us has been j doing the most real farming lately." Mr. French's farming might teach some lessons of great profit to many of the men who seem to think they are practical farmers because they, have to work so hard to make a | living on their farms. In the first place, Mr. French's: farm answers the question, "Can farming he made to pay?" Coming from Ohio eight years ago on account of his health, he bought a place I of LMO acres for $ 1 L' per acre. It was overgrown with weeds, briers ! and bushes except where a hard, poor soil refused to grow anything but poverty grass. Portions were so rocky as to be almost untlllable. Mr. French now values his farm at $t>0 per acre anil has refused $5 for it. This improvement has been made from the farm itself. It has paid its o w n w a y. Mr. French, it seems to us, has also answered the question, "How shall we build up our poor lands?" We rode over a field that was prepared for corn, deep, loose, mellow and full of humus, good for GO to t>0 bushels per acre. When Mr. French got the farm it is doubtful it' the field would have made 10 bushels per acre. We walked through another tield where the clover was thick, deep and luxuriant, telling of a profitable crop this year and in the years that are to follow. When Mr. French got the farm much of this tield was absolutely barren: and vet I he has never applied one hit of cominercial fertilizer to it. Indeed, in the eight years on th<? 240 acres, all of which are cultivated, he has used only $4.10 worth of commercial fertilizers, practically all of which was acid phosphate. This farm has been built up, as we b? lieve many others could be, nv the growing and feeding of live stock. Mr. French had on his farm at the time of our visit 60 cattbi, 7 0 head of hogs and about 140 sheep. He expects to fatten SO to 100 hogs next fall, and he keeps practically th?* same number of cattle all the time and from 60 to 110 sheep. Another question to which it seems Mr. French's experience aff< rds a good answer is rhe qu si ion :>y. to what it takes to make a profitable farm. The answer indicated is, "A piece of land and a man who knows how to handle it." Fight years ago he brought '..he first two-horse planter into his neighborhood. One of his neighbors, win is himself a very good farmer, came over in a few days and saw the machine. "French," said he, "I have always heard that you Yankees were hardworking people, but it seems to me that you spend most of your time trying to keep out of work." Of course, as a good Southerner, this neighbor would not be outdone by a Yankee, so he had .Mr. French to order a two-horse planter for him, and now there are six or seven in his community. The second year Mr. French was on his farm, his father and mother came down from Ohio to see the place he had bought in the South. His father, who was used to the fertile lands of northern Ohio, went out and looked over the place, then V\'i ?n t ill t ho It AtlUii f A toll Vila x%j i ('? ??' ii t 111 i in; r vj i-v vi ii ui?i n nn about It. The wife of our Mr. French heard the two old people discussing th<' farm, and Mr. French, Sr., said sadly, "Mother, 1 never thought we should ever raise such a fool." Today this "fool" has a farm which would be an object lesson to thousands of farmers In our territory, ho has increased the value of his place many fold, has made a reputation as a breeder of One cattle, and as a writer and speaker on agricultural subjects. This Is what real, sureenough, intelligent farming along improved lines will do on the poor lands of tho South. There's hardly anything so good for a man's standing in a community as to get a lot of some other man's money away from him. POOR CROP THK COTTON PROSPKCT KKPORTI Kl) FAR FROM KHKiHT.

" hi The Firemen Are Dissatisfied With at Verdict. ^ to A special dispatch from Atlanta fti to Augusta says there is the "keen- o> est dissatisfaction among the firemen as a result of the decision hand- 01 ?id down Saturday night by the arbit rat ion board, which was in ses- 'n sion in Atlanta during the week to ^ determine the differences of the or- 1(1 der of Locomotive Firemen and Kn- ca glnemen and the Georgia road. A. 1'. Kelly, third vice president 1,1 of the firemen says that the award is an outrage, leaving the. firemen ',1 of the Georgia road in a worse condition than before they went on strike. He points out that it takes from the firemen what they had be- j; fore and gives them nothing of what they demand. It is his opinion that tho award leaves it possible for the wages of white and negro firemen to l>e equalized by the ,r reduction of the wages of white fire- w men as well as by raising the wages ir of negro firemen. ir He says that th<> seniority which t prevailed among white firemen be- rr fore tho arbitration proceedings is w destroyed by the section which de- T tiles seniority of white over negro sj firemen. It is his opinion that there hi is now no seniority among the fire- tl men of the Georgia road. Promo- c tlon depends entirely on selection by tt: ofiicers of the road. He is bitter rc against Neill, commissioner of la- w bor, who. with Martin A. Knapp, chairman of the Interstate Commerce commission induced arbitration. He says that Mr. Neill has not. dealt fairly with tho firemen. la di Fatal Accident. hi W. A.

The Charleston Post says Policeman White found the nude body of n white man at the west side of Co-v oniai Lake, near the Hood Rate, Tueslay morning at daybreak, and Investigation showed that he was drowned. His clot bos were found at the north dde of tho gate. The man was a teal stranger, but Tho Kvening Post., 'ollowing up a eluo found ou hi? per>on, verified the evidence that ke was Jse.ar Villinger , of \ 1G Houston it reef, Augusta. I'ndortaker Stulir took charge of he body at the instance of Mr. C. I. Keanoy, who is said to be eonteeted with the dead man, and wbc eecived a long distance message rorn Augusta to havo the body takn care of. Coroner O'Donell hurried to the ake a few minutes after the call aine to him from the police station, nd he had the body removed from he shallow water where it watj lying ace downward and it was tah?m to he Kopor hospital to await identiIcarton. There were no marks of violence n the body, which was quite nude., "he clothes of the deceased were disovered on the concrete curbing near he place where his body was found, nd the water all about was only rom two to four feet deep, todiating that he must have taken a lunge last night some time, perhaps rith the lnteution of cooling off, r with intention of making an end f himself.

I am still nervous." The envelope found with his name n it in a woman's handwriting, was overed with illegible writing and a ood deal of figuring. Words like work," "beg," "sleep," "Monday," fere made out. There is no doubt that the death f the man came about by drowring, but whether it was deliberate r accident is a hard matter to deid?. The stranger was evidently in<-ery humble circumstances, and aput failed to find it.

Following up the clue given by the lvelope, a telegram was sent to Ai>jsta by The Kvening Post, resulting a message to Charleston to Mr. eaney, a stenographer at tho florin lumber mills.
