2nd, we will take the different kinds of small fruits that are extensively 

 cultivated within the Province. In the following table I have taken as my 

 standard 100 quarts, with the evaporator as my first illustration : 



We will now take 100 quarts of the same fruit canned.

A single glance will be sufficient to see that the canning is far more pro- 

 fitable than evaporation of small fruits, as other lines run in about the same 

 proportion as the raspberry. Plums, which by the way are receiving a great 

 deal of attention at the present time, are undoubtedly more profitable canned, 

 and when we see orchards all the way from one hundred to three thousand of 

 this choice fruit being planted, does it not stand us in hand to make the pre- 

 paration for seasons of overproduction ? They are sure to come, then why not 

 as intelligent men make preparations for the same. —J. E. Shaeffner, before

 Coloring matter may be stirred into whitewash to make any desired shade. 

 Spanish brown will make a red-pink, more or less deep according to quantity 

 used. Finely pulverized common clay mixed with Spanish brown makes a 

 reddish-stone color. Chrome yellow for yellow color, and if small quantity is 

 used, a cream. Use indigo for different shades of blue, and indigo and chrome- 

 yellow for green. Green pigments cannot be safely used with lime, as the lime 

 will injure the color and the green will cause the wash to peel off. For different 

 shades of red mix Venetian red and Spanish brown in various proportions. 

 Lampblack will give a pretty gray if used in proper proportions with the white- 

 wash. Atlanta, (la., Southern Cultivator.
