In old bhouses the usual objection to rugs is that the floors are too poor for finishing.

If an old floor of hard wood and not teo poor, it is refinished by first reâ€" moving all of the old varnish or wax, and then using a mixture of raw lin-l seed o‘l and turpentine in equal parts. Give the wood all it will absorb of this, rubbing it on with one cloth and wip ng dry with another. Or the floor may have a coat of shellac and then ene of varnish; or be rubbed with flcor wax instead of a varnish. This last is an excellent finish for new floors as well, and if the wax is apâ€" plied two or three times a year the floor becomes in time very beautiful, but this treatment cannot be used in kitchens or bathrooms as a waxed ficor often shows water spots. smailer ones should be sr Very old with two c especially & good hard f used for the eoat dry w Knowing that we should avoid alli strong contrasts in the colorings of | the large surfaces in our rooms, we| will see to it that the floor color and the rug are equally dark. A dark rug en a light floor downstairs, and light colored rugs on dark floors umin,‘ are common mistakes, which, in each1 ease, make the floor colors conspicuâ€" ous and the room appear much smallâ€" er. ‘Ihs rug and floor do not need, of course, to be of the same color, but a mediam dark green rug on a medium dark oak or a brown painted floor will make a room appear richer and larger than if the same rug were bordered by a strong contrast of light yellow flooring. This statement is not made for the purpose of condemning all rooms havâ€" ing lighi floors of hard wood (for these of course are genuine and forâ€" tunately, their colors will darken) but simply to show why artists advise staining a new oak floor to a medium dark tone before shellacking same, bators can be used. On all large duck farms incubators are used exclusively. The brooding may be done in either of these three ways but, like the inâ€" eubating, is done artificially when large numbers are handled. The same methods of brooding that apply to chicks can be used for ducklings, but the feed must be different.

E000 EC When there is need for a limph] but inexpensive floor covering, noâ€" thing is better than to have a rug made up from carpeting bought by the yard. Imagine a brown floor with a rug of sewn ingrain carpet, in a plain gray, tan or mouse color. This with neutral toned walls would give every chance for the use of strong color and design in draperies, cushâ€" ions and small furnishings, and the result is a good room. Or, if it is not easy to find ingrains of no pattern at all, it may be possible to get those, or the brussels, in very close allâ€"over patterns, and these, too, will make good sewed rugs (without a border, of course,) and are far preferable to the average large patterned readyâ€"made rug. There is this objection to the ingrain rug that it is too light in weight to lay well, but this may be overcome by sewing a small brass ring at each corner, to slip over a large headed tack which has been driven down not quite flush with the floor. Small Rugs Best for Bedrooms. l The homeâ€"made rug was never more popular than now, and the woman isl fortunate who can make a wellâ€" shaped, braided or pulled rug. In these days of easily used dyes and good stencil patterns, any woman who can find some oldâ€"time expert to learn from may make drawn rugs wonderâ€" fully wellâ€"not by reproducing the old ‘: In any attempt to make braided or, pulled rugs, all of the materials l)umld‘l be colored and sewed before the rug: work begins; and there should be, somewhere near, the helpful advice of |lan experienced oldâ€"time worker, to | tell how to give a good firm workmanâ€" klike finish to the handcraft; for it is | always this which makes the homeâ€" | made article superior to the one made ‘in the factory. It can have no true | art value unless it has excellence in | its finish. To work up a rug of this kind one should first plan a color scheme, say two or three shades, or blue to be used on a tan ground with dark blue and brown edging the border, or any other simple combination, and then dye the rags for it, doing the rug itsel{ as pickâ€"up work. In the oldâ€"fashioned braided rugs, too, there is a better result if care is taken to choose good colors, and there are little tricks of bringing out some design by the way in which the braids are joined. For instance, little arrow heads come out in the pattern if one braids with two strands of a dark color and one strand of a shade much lighter, and then lays the braids toâ€" gether with the light parts touching each other. Woven rag rugs are still very popular, and these, like the others, may be very attractive if the dyeing and ragâ€"sewing is well planned. We cannot lay too much stress on choosing rugs in relation to the color scheme of the other furnishings so that the effect of the whole may be harmonious. No article on floor coverings should ignore the needs of the kitchen. Here nothing is better than the raw linseed oil and turpentine for wiping hard wood; the two coats of paint and a waterproof varnish finish for soft wood, or a covering of the whole floor with one of the good quality lincleams, or a substitute lower in price, of which there are several. also containing a little grit and charâ€" coal.

How many farmers there are who do not know the taste of asparagus, and yet there is not a more delicious, more healthful or more easily grown vegetable. It requires little space and will produce year after year with very little care. It seems especially good because it comes so early in the spring before any other vegetables are to be had. Horseradish and pieplant are two other perennials which should never be left out. Of course everyone has a strawberry bed, some currants, gooseberry and raspberry bushes and maybe some cultivated blackberries. ;"t;é{te_r' “ga;i-zrie'h than thousands of otherwlse well regulated farms. _ Celery is another vegetable which is sadly neglected. Almost any garâ€" den will produce acceptable celery. Nor is it as much trouble as most people seem to think. There are satisâ€" factory varieties on the market now which do not have to be hilled up every few days, which need not be hilled up at all. It can be buried in the cellar before frost strikes it and used far into the winter. What is a salad without celery, and how much soup is improved by a few dried leaves for flavoring. Beets, carrots, cabbages, parsnips, rutabagas and turnips can all be used as fresh vegetables in the winter in the same way. Maybe everyone knows that, but there are thousands who never do it. Beans, spinach, tomatoes, peas, corn and cucumbers are no longer the luxâ€" ury of a few short days in the summer as they were once. Through the deâ€" velopment of early and late varieties, a judicious series of plantings and the easy, safe methods of canning now in use, they have become a yearâ€"around food.

Potato Yields Important.â€"Potato| vields depend very largely on plantâ€" food supply. Extensive investigation in farm management among 400 potato farms in New Jersey shows that "profits are greater with each increase of potato yield per acre. Men and horses handle as many crop acres on the heavyâ€"yielding farms as upon the lightâ€"yielding farms." These findâ€" ings are of special interest to Ontario potato growers since potato prices rule high. Cost of production is also very high. Why not make your farm and labor count for all possible in your potato yields this year? } Experiences. â€" Actual experiences will interest you. The first is in Dundas County where Mr. Jos. Laughlin tried out fertilizers of difâ€" | ferent quantities with and without ‘ manure, on a typical potato soil, givâ€" \ ing the whole field equal attention, | outside of the fertilizer.

Have You a Fertilizing Potatoes By Prof. Henry G. Bell. The Boy Samue!â€"1 Sam. 1: 24â€"28; 3: 1.21. Golden Text, Prov. 23: 25. 1: 24.28, Lert to the Lord. The zon of a pious mother, the child of prayer, Samuel was consecrated from his birth to the speccal service of Jehovah. First of all, in fuifilment of his mother‘s vow, he was to be a Nazarite (v. 11). The Nazarite (see Num. 6) appears to have been subject to such a vow, either for life, or for a certain limited time, during which he was required to abstain from wine, from touching a dead body, and from shaving or cutting the hair. The vow was, we may believe, a protest against drunkenness and certain other forms ;i -vxc;,v;fl;d; Hl;revailed at Canaanite altars, and which were being imitated at the altars of Jehovah. In the second place, Samuel was dedicated to the service of God in the sanctuary at Shiloh, where he was to be in the care of, and to be instructed 1 ofit 1 1 t 101 9 2 003 hh it t coiefhantitvetedramintatntiatr talndv4 by, the chief priest, Eli, a descendant of the priestly family of Aaron. On the occasion of his coming to Eli gifts were brought and a bullock was slain in sacrifice, as a dedicatory offering. Thus solemnly was he "lent to the Lord." 3: 1. Ministered to the Lord. He acted as attendant or servant to Eli, and was in training for the priesthood. The linen ephod which he wore (2: 18) was the distinctive garment of the priesthood. It is worthy of note that Samuel did not belong to the tribe of Levi (see 1: 1), and therefore the law which required all priests to be of that tribe cannot yet have been in force. It is also clear that the writer of the history regarded the ministry of the child, as really as that of the high priest, as a service rendered to the The word of the Lord was precious, or rather was rare, in those days. That is to say, that there were few proâ€" phets. The words open vision mean either frequent or widely spread proâ€" phetic gift. It was not until the time of Samuel that prophets became numâ€" erous, and came to be recognized as the religious teachers and leaders of Israel. 2â€"3. In the temple. This was the old temple of Shiloh, which was shortâ€" ly after destroyed by the Philistines. Eli was advanced in years and his eyes had begun to wax dim (Revised Version). This is stated as the reason for Samuel‘s solicitude and attention. When he heard the voice he supposed it to be that of his master who reâ€" quired his assistance. _The lamp was lighted in the evenâ€" ing and burned all night in the sancâ€" tuary (Exod. 27: 20â€"21; 80: 7-8) 4â€"8. "Here am I." Samuel is preâ€" sented here in a very attractive light. the row and works it in beside the seed piece. Fertilizer is soluble plantâ€" food and is quickly taken up by the young potato plant as soon AS the roots get well started. Some potato growers prefer applying twoâ€"thirds of the fertilizer broadcast, that is, they drill it in through the fertilizer dropâ€" per of the grain drill before the poâ€" tatoes are planted, at the same time they put on from 200 to 300 lbs. of fertilizer with the potato planter. This gives a wider distribution of the fertilizer. If you do not have either a grain drill or potato planter, strike out the furrows for the potatoes and sow the fertilizer along the furrow. Follow this by putting in a light covering of soil before you drop the pieces of potato, after which proceed as usual. Do not let a piece of poâ€" tato fall directly on top of the fertilâ€" izer or injury will be done to the seed piece. This precaution is taken care of in the potato planter. Profits.â€"Yields and profits are closely allied. Investigation among the New Jersey potato growers brings this out very clearly as the following table shows: Relation of Potato Yields to Labor Income on 149 Potato Farms: Av. Yld., Acre.

Samuel did not yet know. He must have known, of course, the name of Jehovah 2&s the great God of Israel, in whose temple he was serving. Bat he‘ had not yet received any revelation from God. He had not yet been called to the prophetic ministry, and in that sense did not yet know the Lord. Eli, out of the wisdom of a long life, interâ€" preted rightly the strange new exâ€" perience through which the soul of the boy was pass ng. It was the voice of God. The lad who had been so thoughtful and attentive inâ€"his duty to an earthly master is now called to a higher service and a higher duty. 9â€"10. "Speak Lord, for Thy servant heareth." This is the word both of faith and of obedience. The Voice, unheard by any one but Samuel himâ€" self, reveals a truth and gives him a message. From that moment, young as he was, he was a prophet of God. 11â€"14. Against Eli. No doubt the‘ pure mind of the boy had revolted at the vile conduct of the sons of Eli, and he had wondered why his master, who was both priest and judge, did not deal more sternly with them. He must also have known that a proâ€" phet‘s warning had already been adâ€" dressed to Eli regarding the same matter. See 2: 12â€"17, 22â€"25, 27â€"86. Now, in his vision of the night, he is made to understand that this inâ€" iquity can not and will not go unâ€" punished. The day of terrible retriâ€" bution is speedily coming. So terrible will it be that both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle. The Lord will make an end of the house of Eli. He knew the iniquity of his sons; he had the power to put a stop to it; but like a too indulgent father, he had only mildly reproved them. His sons made themselves vile and he reâ€" strained them not. No mere sacrifice or offering to Jehovah could make up for such neglect of righteousness. God is pleased only with the clean hands and the pure heart. f 15â€"18. Samuel feared. It is to tbe‘ boy‘s credit that he was not over hasty to bear such a message to hia‘ patron and friend. But at Eli‘s comâ€" mand he told him every whit. There is scarcely anything in the entire hisâ€" tory more pathetic than the humility of the old man, receiving this rebuke from the lips of his pupil and submitâ€" ting himself to the hand of God. It was not long until the blow fell, and at the tragic news of his son‘s dgsth in battle, Eli himself died of a broken heart.

One of the first lessons which the little child should iearn is the proper care of his own possessions and resâ€" pect for those of others, and a mother has the first opportunity to inculcate this important life lesson. son than by example. If a mother teaches her child not to touch the articles on her desk or dressing table without her permission, then has she the right to dispose of his toys withâ€" out his permission ? The writer recalls an instance where a mother secretly put away a doll which had been given to her litâ€" tle girl, and for no reason except that the child already had a number of dolls and this particular one was "too beautifully dressed to be played with until the child was older." _ Since one of the strongest instincts of the child is to imitate, there seems no more logical way to u_._dl this lesâ€" Another common way of disregardâ€" ing children‘s rights is to force them to give up some newsor muchâ€"prized possession. For example, a little girl of six, who was delighted with the gift of a doll‘s fan, was obliged by her mother to hand it to her screamâ€" ing baby in order to quiet him. In his excitement he soon crushed the tiny toy, his screams increased, and his little sister was brokenâ€"hearted! Nor had the unjust and shortâ€"sighted mother "saved the scene" which she had hoped to avert. _In each of these cases the child should have been consulted and her ;omnulon given before the mother disposed of the plaything. In this way the mother could have gxplnined the reasons for her own action, and the child, in her turn, would have had an opportunity of expressing herself, a habit which should be encouraged. Then, too, personal responsib.‘ity for her possessions and the recognition of the right of ownership would have emphasized the difference between "mine" and "thine." There is no better way to create habits of orderliness and a sense of responsibility than by giving the child a place for keeping his playthings and then allowing him full control of these possessions. _ Show him how to use his books, how to take care of his toys, how to protect his pets, and then see to it that he has a shelf or a emall bookâ€" case for his books, a play corner for his toys, and an appropriate home for his pets. After playtime require him to put away whatever he has been using, and let him understand the necessity for regular attention to his pets. Such training will of necessity react upon his character since possession entails responsibility. Ownership also teaches generosity, for without posâ€" sessions how can a child learn to It may not be out of place in advisâ€" ing parents to respect their children‘s possessions to add a warning on beâ€" half of the children. Do not surround them with numberless readyâ€"made toys. Give them blocks, boards, nails, paper, crayons, clay, sand, and books. They will get more happiness from these possessions of constructive posâ€" wibilities than from all the finished toy shops in the land. "Childhood has its own way of seeâ€" ing, thinking, and feeling, and n»oâ€" thing is more foolish than to try to substitute our own for them."
