Second Victim of Merciless Flames.
Following close upon tho fatal burn
ing of Ihe Smith child, a tragedy of
a like character o-curred Friday eve
ning at tho Laurens cotton Mills,
when little Viola Weathers, daughter
of Thos. Weathers, was to badly
burned that she died Saturday nicht.
She was playing about the stovo In the
kitchen when her olothing caught on
Ore and before aid could bo rendered
ihe was horribly burned. Aged three

Government Whitewash.
The Washington or government
whitewash is made us follows: Take
half n bushel of unslacked lime, Black
It with boiled water, cover during the
process to keep in steam, strain tho
liquid through n fine sieve or strainer
und add to it a hag of salt previously
dissolved in warm water, three pounds
of ground rue boiled to n thin paste
end stirred in while hot, hnlf a pound
of Spanish whiting and one pound of
clean glue, previously dissolved by
Bouking in cold water and then bang
ing over a slow flro In n small pot
hung In n large one and filled wltb
wntor. Add five gallons of hot water
to the mlxturo, stir well and let It
stand ti few days covered from dirt.
It should bo applied hot, for which
[Uirposc it can bo kept in a kettle or
iblo furnace. It is used by the
government to whitewash lighthouses.
A pint of i!ds whitewash mixture, if
properly applied, will cover one square
yard and will ho almost as servlcable
ua paint for wood, brick or stone, and
is much cheaper than the cheapest
paint
Tho Brood Sow.
Many of the hrr-oders would net
think of offering n boar or sow for
breeding purposes unless its mother
was thrco years old nnd its father
more than one year, says n correspond
ent of American Cultivator. They
think also that tho how which has on
ly one Utter o your gets the fat in the
Interval between her farrowing to pro
duce strong and thrifty pigs. They
may do to f.illen when she Is not moro
than two years old, hut after she is
that ago they do not consider them
oven llrst class for thnt, if she has but
one litter a year. We would prof or
that a breeding sow should have two
litters a year, If we had to give away
the fall pigs as soon as sho had wean
ed them, and we would not accept as a
gift a pig from a yearling sow or ono
that had not more than ono llttor n
year If wo wanted one for breeding
purposes.
Wintering Cattle.
For wintering cattle I am a firm be
liever In the silo, Bays u New York
farmer in American Agriculturist. I
don't think there Is anything elso that
yields as much good feed ns corn si
lage. In the morning wo feed each
cow the silage she will eat up clean,
with about two quarts each of bran
nnd corn or oats ground, and a good
feed of hay nt noon. At night tho feed
Is the Kiimo ns in tho morning. Our
cows came out In the spring in line
condition. Wo commence feeding In
the fall as soon as the pastures are
shoi t and keep It up until the grass \?
large enough in the spring so thnt tho
cattle are K.atlsfied with what they get.
Feed Por IIomoN.
Timothy hay Is par excellence tho
horse fend, snys Professor Curt Iss of
tho Iowa experiment station in Breed
er's Gnssetto. This Is the case largely
because of its curing properties and Its
freedom from dust nnd mold. If do
vev liny or alfalfa of prime quality nnd
free from dust and mold can be se
cured it is much more nutritious and
more economical than timothy hay.
Oat straw of good quality may i>< use 1
for horses with excellent results. What
ever the ration used 1 would advlso
grinding Ihe grain nnd feeding it
knlxcd with cut buy moistened.
