USK WHITEWASH.
(From Farm Bureau News).
A coating of whitewash on the sta
" ble, both inside and out, on the cor
ral fences and the outside buildings
adds much to the appearance of the
farm. It adds much to the health of
the animals confined in the enclos
ures. Whitewash is cheap, it is easily ap
plied, and will contribute much tj
the pride and pleasure of the farm
owner whose buildings have been pre-
nerved nnd their appearance en-
hanced by its use. Whiewnsh enn
not take the place of paint, and paint '
can not take the place of whitewash.
There is a place lor both on the av-
erage farm. They ought to have u
more extensive use.
The following formula will be val-
uable to the man who wants to use
wmiuwusn;
A Half a bushel of unslaked lime;
ijj'ake with warm water, covering it
luring the process to keep in, the
uteam; strain the liquid through a
fine sieve or strniner; ndd a peck of
bait, previously dissolved in warm
'Water, three pounds of thin rice
boi ed to a thin naste. anil stir in
boiling hot; half a pound of powder-
ed Spanish -whiting and a pound of
clue which has been previously dis-
solved over a slow fire; add five
Ions of hot water to the mixture;
stir well and let it stand for a few
days, covered from the dirt. It should
be put on hot. One pint of the mix
ture, properly applied, will cover a
square 'yard. Small brushes arc
best. There is nothing that can
compare with it for either outside oi
'inside work, and it holds its brillian
cy for many years. Coloring matter
of any shade may be put in Span
ish brown, yellow ochre or common
clay. ,

THE
ORIGIN OF THE
BINDER.
TWINE
(From Farm Bureau News).
A soldier who fought all, through
the Civil War was a dreamer. He
had been a farmer's hired man when
the war broke out and he had spent
many days gathering up tho grain
jifter a harvester and tying the bun
dles by hand. That was tiresome
work and all through the war he
; dreamed of a machine that would save
these backaches.
It was not many years after the
wnr thnt his dream came true. First
he made a machine that tied the
bundles with wire. But that wns
. i?ot satisfactory. Then he perfected
r a small, simple machine which fitted
onto a harvester and tied the grain
' with twine. To John F. Appleby is
due the credit for the twine binder
used on practically every grain bind
er today.
That simple device is one of the
things that revolutionized farming
'and mndd possible our millions of
t ncres of grain. With the scythe,
farming was not n business because
only a small area could be worked.
With modern machinery and modern
railroads and modern cities, fnrming
is truly a business. Because of these
things the modern farmer has many
more chances to make money than In
the olden days. American business
farmers should feel grateful to John
F. Appleby and men of his type who
have revolutioned farming.

With our sharp advance in land
values, must come increased rent?.
Land owners should use precaution
in keeping up or even building up
tho fertility of the soil, for if profits
are not coining through good meth
ods of farming, tenants will surely
mine the land for it. Many of thcni
will do this ahy way so that better

The University Extension Service
makes the following suggestions for
making ico cream: Have the ice
finely crushed, with picces?as nearly
of a size as possible. Use coarse or
rock salt in the ipronortion of three
parts ice to one part salt. Mix only?
- . -i
enougn 10 nn can once. acaiu can,
place in proper position in pail, put
in the dasher, pour in mixture to be
frozen, cover and try handle to see
if it turns freely. Pack ice and
salt solidly to top of can. As liquids
expand in freezing, the can of tho
freezer should not be moro than
three-fourths full. Turn the crank
slowly and steadily. When freezing
begins turn more rapidly and add Ice
and salt as needed. Never draw olF
water until mixture is frozen unless
there is danger of its getting into
the can. When frozon draw o!F wa

A SHORTAGE' OF MEN IN CHINA.
Jf (FromFn'rm Bureau News).
China needs more men. Strange
ns it inny seem, it is snid by those
wlip nro well ucquninted with China,
tlat under their present methods of
farming, there is an actual shortage
6f men. Three out of four men are
farmers. There are moro men In
China than in any other country and
labor is cheap.
How different in the Northwest
whero ono man will farm moro land
thnn 100 men in-Chinn. A Chinaman
raises littlo more than ho eats. An
American farmer eats little of what
he raises but sells his crops, and stock
to those men in tbS6iitli who raise
hlg cotton, or tothqiseVmen in the
mines who digniroiror to those men
in tho city who shape that iron into
plows and other things that he needs.
In China a farmer gets littlo mon
ey because ho doesn't buy much. In
yie Northwest the farmer gets nion
,9y for his products and spends this
money for the things lie needs.
Farming in the Northwest is a busi
ness and the American farmer Is a
business man.
