Nothing is so observed on entering
room as the carpet. If that is nice and
clean there viii be an air of comfort
about the room, however plain the fur
niture may be. On the other hand, if
there is shabby and soiled carpet on
the floor,,if it is all askew and half put
down, the room will look uninviting and
cherries, even if the furniture is covered
with damask. It is better to have no
carpet rather than one that is ragged
and filthy.
With proper care, carpets can be
made to last long time In the first
place, moths must be guarded against.
Every crack in the floor ought to be
filled with putty and we'll dried. II there
is not time to dry the putty, papers can
he laid over it. Carpets should never be
laid on next the floor. The sand wears
them out if they are. A very little
straw or soft hay scattered on the floor
does very we'll, but old straw mating, or
drugget, or an old wool carpet does bet
ter. For very nice carpets, cotton bat
ting, tackled between coarse, unbleached
cotton, is the best thing that can be
used
Experience has proved to me that car
pets wear third longer for being wad-
ded. The dust goes through to the
floor, and the carpet needs much less
sweeping than it otherwise would. A
little damp grass or brown paper
sprinkled on carpet when it is
swept, saves the wear of it. For a
nice carpet broom should be kept
which is not used for other purposes.
Every spot should be washed off as soon
as seen.
Wool carpets should be taken up and
shaken once year, and if the room is
common one, twice or more. Whenever
a carpet is taken up it should be care
fully examined, and If any places are
burned or worn they should be carefully
darned with the Rawlings to match. A
carpet can be saved very much by guard
ing the entrance doors with mats, etc.,
especially the door leading from the
kitchen.
Where there is small entry between
Ele kitchen and carpeted room, it is a
good way to cover the entry thickly with
$ cav, and put over it piece Of carpet
or drugget. Even cotton carpeting will
wear long time over straw. This is
much better than mats to take the dust
from the shoes. Get large pattern so
as to have some left to renair with.
Much can be done by turning and mend
ing carpets to keep them looking almost
rs well as new. Tribune ard Farmer.

In the city there are at least arec

In the manufacture Of this article none

ssThe harder the cabbaQes the better the

turers puts it. The outside leaves are
all taken off and the heads thoroughly

day. The white fluffy shavings are
shoveled into new barrel, in which
there is already layer of salt. Another
layer of salt covers it, and then more
cabbage. This alternating goes on till
the top of the barrel is reached, each
layer being pounded solid BY heavy

AS in other lines of business, in this
there are secrets, and one of them comes
into play just here. One manufactures

The usual packages of kraut arc six
teen, thirty and forty gallon barrels. A
ten-gaIlon barrel sells this year at from
81 to $4.25. That is cheap, as it usually
brings SIS even. The article retails at
from eight cents to ten cents per quart

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD


1t is comparatively easy TO keep all
kinds Of live stock up 70 the condition
IN which they enter siron the winter if
from the beginning they arc comforta-
bly, housed anu cared fof promptly and
regularly.
Fodder should be given at stated In
teryals and placed where il can be easily
and conveniently reached This requires
special attention to racks, managers and
feeding boxes. that they are not TOO
high, or too deep, and that the latter
are not broken and full of cracks and
holes where grain can leak away and be
lost. II is often the case. that large pro-
portion Of the grain fed TO stock goes
out Of their reach through cracks ami
knot holes, while the owner wonders
why his bountiful provision does not
produce better results. The fact is the
rats and other vermin under the barn
obtain goodly share of that intended
for the cattle and horses. II should be
one OF the first objects Of the farmers
care 10 see that his managers and feed !.
boxes are solidly and tightly constructed
and their inside surfaces smooth and
free as possible of places where hay and
grain can get beyond the reach of the
animal feeding.
The way that these places are often ar
ranged makes the operation OF feeding
quite the reverse Of comfortable Tied
with ropes or hampered with stanchions
before high racks or deep managers, the
fodder is reached only with extreme diff
ticulty after much straining and reach
ing.
As to the quantity OF fodder, over
feeding Is quite injurious rs undcr-fecd-
ing. stock will thrive better where the
quantity placed before them at each feed
ing time is sufficient only for their present
and actual wants. 1t is consumed then
with greater zest and does much more
good than where there is great amount
left to be picked over and tossed about.
The amount to be given in each indi-
vidual case can only be determined by
observation and experience. A small
quantity OF wholesome fodder fed at the
right time in proper amounts, aud placed
where the stock can obtain the full bene-
fit of it, will produce tar better results
than large quantity fed in hap-hazard
way and in poor and ill constructed de-
positories. -New York O6aercer.
