Staining Floors: After experiment !
ting for myself and others how best to
paint floors in good and yet inexpcn-
sive color, l found French ochre (yel- |
low ochre) and linseed oil in all res
poets the best If allowed to dry and |
get hard, it viii last in regular use
three to five years. This looks well
and is easily cleaned. Apply the first
coat thin; the subsequent coats tolcra-
bly, thick, say about az thick as poor
cream.

milk, add hot water to warm the milk;

ter, and -four to sufficiently stiefth for
bread, llneading thoroughly; fill pans
half full, and III n wartA place allow
the leaves to rise to the top Of the pans;
bake in steady oven, net too hot, one
hour.
Rice Blanc-mange: a quarter of q
round of ground rice, two ounces Of

point, stir in the rice; let it boil for ten

A Western fruit grower says that he
cit off limb an inch in diGmiter from
anapple tree in each month Of the year.
AT the end Cf five years, when they
and those found to have decayed the
least were those GU in February and
March, or just Lcfocc the swelling OF
the buds, while those cut in j une and
July, or during the growing season,
had decayed the most; by this it would
appear that the old way Of pruning in
early spring, before the sap begins to
flow was the best.
