Indeed, the unimaginative person usually has two chances for 'disappointment in the house paintyselected: the first from making the above mistake of buying colors which are too strong; the second, from an attempt to -use some unusual combination of colors, with an idea 'of making the house ap- pear striking by this mark of so-caly led originality. : The architect, or trained house- painter, knows that suagess, and sat- isfaction, are only gained from study- ing the problem from a different standpoint--I might say by letting the house and its surroundings decide what the color scheme shall be.

A Pointer on Tying Fleeces. Some weeks ago a party of county | agents were being shown through af wool-scouring mill in a large city. | They wanted to learn things that they | could take back to help their home] folks. At one point the manager of the mill called their attention to the kind of twine to use in tying fleeces. He picked up a handful of partly scoured wool and pointed out dark fibres. These, he said, were the fibres from binder twine which were left in the fleece when it was unbound at the warehouse or mill. It is the custom of the fleece | handlers to cut the eord holding the fleece together and pull it out. If | common binder twine is used some " the fibres are sure to catch in the fleece and be left there. They do not | take the dye and so are very objec- tionable to the woolen manufacturer. | He will not pay the price for: such | fleeces that he will for those which do not have the fibres mixed with | £he' fleece. "The manager of the mill | said it did mot pay to pick out the fibres, and showed how a good cotton or paper string pulls out of a fleece without leaving fibres. If a few cot- ton fibres should be left it should not be harmful, as: the cotton takes the dye. o® ; The paper twine has a hard, smooth surface and is best from all stand- points. It probably costs mo. more than any other kind of tying mater- in], probably less than binder twine since it has soared to present prices. : ey Do not Tet ewes and lambs run on old pastures so full of 'parasites which "| What would you think of a man ied. to join the local cow- . becau: testing make if for him to s.*® his i ry the glory which sii Faith is the ceria ape ve of i Lis because of thei b She ne treggs nedr. the | er the verandah, sim-|. one can imagine thé whole, it jis how sure our } eOuUsness. ing, farniture or dress--not the strik: | will prove destructive to young ase 3 would | % 'promises. | izes for lies on before.
