To clean carpets, dampen some Indian
meal, mix salt with it, and sprinkle over
the carpet; sweep vigorously. Take a
small, sharp-pointed stick to remove the
salt and meal from cracks and corners.
A sauce piquante for fish is made by
adding teaspoonful of curry powder tc
the ordinary sauce of drawn butter. Or
you may omit the vinegar and chop two
or three tart cucumbers fine, and mix
them with the sauce.

not boil the tea, and use while fresh.
Tea is best made in. an earthen teapot
never in tin. Iced tea should be made
several hours before it is needed, and
then set upon ice. When ready to use
it, sweeten and drink without milk OIL

dough passes through four processes if
the fermentation is allowed to go on, viz
Saccharine, vinous, acetic, putrefactive.
The dough should always be put into
the oven before it passes through the
first fermentation; the bread in that case
will be good, having the sugar in it. If
allowed to pass into the vinous fermenta-
ton, so as to obtain alcohol from it, the
bread will be poor in flavor and in
quality.

Wong Chin Foo, of New York, tell
the world, through a newspaper, in
pretty good English, something about
Flowing Day" in China. 1t is celebrated
by good Celestials wherever they are. In
China the emperor celebrates it as the
planting time. He takes hold of pillow
and burrows the ground until the sweat
of his face vets his shoes. 1t is the
Chinese national holiday, and the cere-
monies with which it is celebrated are
partly devotional. According to Wong
Chin Foo the Chinese are not heather at
all. They believe in supreme JOSS and
in the immortality of the soul. They ex-
emplify their faith in Immortality by
decorating the graves of their dead rela-
tives and feasting their famished souls
with roast pig aud wine. The banquet
costs them something, too, which stands
them in proof of their sincerity.

tilizers. The complete fertilizers made
to serve as a substitute for ordinary ma.
nuro and the special fertilizers for partic-
ular crops have been tried and used for
years with the greatest benefit by farmers
who have learned by experience the profit
of using them. Their use is indispensa-
be to success, for no farmer ever yet had
a sufficient supply of manure for all his
crops, and liberal fertilizing, like liberal
feeding of cattle, can alone make agri-
culture fully profitable. But one should
know for what he pays his money, and
use only those which he has the best
reason to know are worth what he pays
for them. And this he has an oppor-
tunity of knowing through his State ex-
pertinent station. As a sample of the
work of the stations, the following from
the recent report of that of the State of
New Jersey may be given: 1913 samples
of the fertilizers of eighty-three manu-
facturers, and representing sales of over
5000 tons, worth more than a million
dollars, were examined. Some of these
were practically worthless, and some
were worth more than the selling price.
Field experiments with the best of these
fertilizers gave net profits of 81 to SIC
per acre. On one plot the fertilizer cost
ing 1926 per acre gave an increase of
twenty-nine and one-ha,f bushels of corn
and half ton of stalks another test
gave a net profit of $25. 70 per acre, and
another $35. 80. Similar results have
been reached by farmers who have been
careful to note the effects of the fertil-
izers. OF course, in these cases only
proved and well-known fertilizers were
used.-Nep York Times.

Small fruits can often be controlled for
a period of two weeks in the matter of
setting fruit feeds. Late strawberries
are very frequently produced by keeping
mulch upon the plants until other plants
are in flower. Blackberries and rasp-
berries, as also grapes, if pruned to this
object, can be laid down in fall and not
be taken up until very late in spring.
All fruits are rendered late by planting
on backward soils, or on northern slope
Such localities often have the effect of
producing inferior fruit, however On
heavy soils the plant or tree is apt to
grow too much and bear too little. Trees
may be retarded by keeping a heavy
mulch on the ground for good distance
about the trunk The mulch should ex-
tend farther than the limbs to insure
good results. If the ground is frozen
under the mulch, or is covered with
snow, considerable retardation may be
expected.
An interesting instance of the retarding
of fruiting is told by Sir Hugh Platt, in
the early days of English husbandry.
Sir Francis Carew, it is said, wishing to
surprise Queen Elizabeth by cherry-tree
in full fruit month past the usual time,
accomplished his object by "straining a
tent or cover of canvas over the whole
tree, and wetting the same now and then
with scoop or hosue as the heat of the
weather required, and so, by Withholding
the sunny beams from rejecting upon
the berries, they grew both great and
were very long before they had gotten
their perfect cherrie- color; and when he
was assured of her majesty's coming, he
removed the tent, and a few sunny days
brought them to their full maturities. :"

Artificial EertilEyers.

One of the most important services of
the State experiment stations has been
the examinations of artificial fertilizers
and the publication of the reports of
these. There is no more easy way of
swindling than by means of fraudulent
fertilizers, or rather by useless rubbish
sold as fertilizers, and the various State
experiment stations have been the means
of detecting and exposing many of these
and of saving many thousands of dollers
to the farmers. If the farmers do not
take advantage Of these services freely
offered to them by the State govern
ments, it is their own neglect and fault.
Reports are furnished to all applicants
and every farmer who uses fertilizers
should avail himself Of them.
Fertilizers must necessarily be taken on
trust, unless the farmers exercise reason
able caution. The law provides that
every bag sold should carry with it
marks showing the analysis and consti-
tuition of its contents. The names of the
leading manufacturers, whose business is
beyond suspicion and reproach, are a
guarantee of the purity of their goods,
because their reputation is too valuable
to be risked for the uncertain profit
and the certain detection of any dis
honest practices y Any farmer may
send sample of any fertilizer
to his State experiment station
and have it Analysed and know that
he is getting what he is paying for, and
this fact alone is sufficient to secure the
purity of any fertilizer made by a respec-
table manufacturer The science of fer
tilizing is now we'll understood and the
frequent explanations and references in
regard to this matter in these columns
will help farmers to know what they
want and what they may expect from fer
