HO,c to GEah;e fiug Carpets.


If you want something for your
kitchen floor, firm, warm and durable,
from which spots can be easily remov-
ed, which can be shaken, turned, and
be as good as new for several years,
use rag carpets They can generally
be obtained of carpet dealers at from
sixty cents to one dollar yard but
often a smoother and handsomer arti-
Gle can be made at home, at least ready
for the loom. For this purpose save
the old clothes-old flannel, sheets, and
der-garments, old dresses-in fact,
everything which will make long
strips. Old clothes of good colors are
doubly valuable. Calicoes not too
much worn are excellent material Cut
into strips about an inch wide, sew end
to end, and wind smoothly into balls
of about one pound weight. Allow
from one and one-fourth to one and
one-half pounds of rags to square
yard of carpeting. Collect all odd
pieces of any color for the mosaic or
hit-and-miss stripe Cut and mix these
thoroughly before sewing, SO as to
make this stripe as uniform as possible.
few pounds of remnants from a
woolen factory or soft listings, of any
needed color, make nice stripe, and
require little sewing. Do not put too
much black into a kitchen carpet, as it
IS not a strong color and shows the
dust more than other colors. A stripe
of several shades of red brightens up a
carpet wOnderfully-and who objects
to little brightness in the kitchen
White wooden rags take nice cochi-
neal red, white cotton a durable green
from fustic and logwood set with blue
vitriol. a cinnamon color NAV be
dyed with copperas. Select coarse
strong warp Of some dark color-brown
and slate colors are good-allowinn one
pound of warp for every three and one
fourth yards of carpcting. Keep the
exact weight of rags and warp to com.
pare with weight of carpet when re
turned, and employ a good weaver
! Many prefer a kitchen carpet pat down
with rings.es itcan thus be easily taker
/ up and shaken.-ScrjbneT for Sept.

THE WIRE WoRM-Salt will pre-
vent the ravages to the wire-worm and
the white corn grub. The salt should
be applied when the plant shows itself
above the ground. 1t should be mix
ed with plaster, about one quart of salt
to four or five of plaster, according to
soil and placed around the hill. not
over the plants as the salt may prove
worse than the grub. If properly
done it will prove a complete protec-
ton. The Massachusetts Ploughman.
in answering question whether or not
salt was beneficial as a manure, says
There is one thing about it and that
is it serves to make the ground light
and mellow where it is applied while
grubs and Wire-worms seem to avoid
land where salt has been used
