FAIL PLANNING. from the
stone fruited kind. all the harder or
chsrd trees may be planted in the fall
sdyantageously. A tree set out in the
fall will start up better ordinarily than
a spring set one because the roots are
III position at the opening of the season
to supply the tree with food at once.
The drawback to fall. setting is that in
very severe winters the trees suffer from
the wood drying out and the roots be-
coming undisturbed. To guard against
tins as much rs possible, early planting
should be resorted TO, in the North,
o;tcber being the best month for the
work. Then some strength can be ac-
cumulsted before cold weather. When
everything is in readiness for planting,
if the trees are still IN leaf, the leaves
should be stripped. The ends of the
main shoots should also be shortened
little. There will be no harm in order
ing all trees and shrubs in the fall from
tue nurseries. and then the more tender
ones may be safely kept over for spring
planting by burying them completely
with esrih in dry place.

DUsr.-No house can be healthy that
is not kept perfectly clear and free from
dust, for often the germs oil disease
float about, aye, and rIpen and grow in
dust. The dusting of the room ought
to be supervised by the mistress of the
establishment herself, for servants are
too often careless IN the matter; per-
haps they commence operations too
soon after sweeping up, before the dust
has settled, OF they merely whisk the
dust about, driving it off one place and
giving il q chance 10 settle in another.
All articles Of furniture. especially the
cushions OF chairs and sofas, should be
taken out and busted regularly, Mats
ought to have special attention, aud
carpets cleaned more often than they
generally are. Therefore carpet that
is not uaIied down, and probably covers
only part OF the floor, is best and health
lest. The floors themselves should be
frequently washed, but allowed 10 get
thoroughly dry before the carpet is re-
placed. A really good carpet is the
