HARDWOOD FLOORS.
How Go Finish n Georgia Yellow Pine
Floor After 1t Is Laid.

How Go Finish u Georgia Yellow Pine
Floor After 1t is Laid.
The cheapest and best hardwood
floor is made of yellow Georgia pine,
This is the 'pitch-pine' of the South
ern forests, and is so inexpensive that
it is extensively used for interiors,
1t possesses the singular property OF
secreting u certain amount of rcsinous
substance every season, even after it
is cured for timber if it is exposed to
the weather, and for this reason all
hard pine is unfit for use on the eX-
terror of houses. 1t is not uncommon
for builders who are ignorant of this
property of the hard pine to make use
of it as flooring to piazzas The first
hot sun of summer draws out this
resinous secretion, and the sticky sub
stance is ready to be tracked all over
the house. Georgia pine makes the
best hardwood floor to the house
and the worst for the piazza. 1t is
considered by builders as superior in
durability to oak or walnut, being less
liable to rot from dampness than
either. There are three ways of fin
ishing it after it is laid and smooth.
1t may be oiled; there is some differ
ence of opinion on this subject, An
excellent article from practical house,
keeper recently appeared in defense OF
the oiled floor. The writer has never
found any satisfaction in an oiled floor,
while the waXed floor was II pleasure
to look upon, though it required to be
polished once q week if in constant
use. To wax u floor, put one and q
half pounds of yellow beeswax in a tin
pail, add three ounces resin and a pint
of turpentine. Set this pail in an iron
pot of boiling water, and stir till all
the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
These ingredients arc liable to take
fire if the greatest care is not eXer-
ciscd. As soon as they are properly
mixed let them cool and thin the mix
ture, if necessary, with turpentine,
making it about the consistency of a
thin ointment Rub this preparation
on with flannel rag or chamois and
polish the floor with polishing or
waxing brush" 1t is some trouble,
but no good, sincere work can be ac-
complished without trouble. The third
way of finishing the hardwood floor is
with shellac This is suitable for
parlor floors, or any floor not in con-
tinual use. Let us all hope that in a
good time coming all houses will be
built with genuine floors without
cracks so that they may be simply
oiled waXed or shellaced and covered
with rug in center. Such rug can
be readily kept free from dust and may
be shaken every week if necessary
without discommoding the family.
There is no more unwholsome feature
Of our modern house than the carpet,
that great dust concealer, from which
the accumulative dust of year or two
years is removed at cleaning times. -

Flower Farmers.

The flower farms of the country
around Nice yield as an average
yearly crop 1900 tons Of orange
flowers, 1000 tons Of roses, $50 tons Of
violets, as many Of jessamine flowers,
and lesser quantities Of other blossoms,
The larger portion Of the oil or altar
ofrose comes from the rose farms Of
Roumelia, in Turkey, and from
Gazipur, in India. Ii is reckoned
that 200 900 rose blossoms are re-
CURED to produce an amount Of the
altar equal in weight to silver
rupee-about fifty cents of our
money-and worth fifty dollars an
ounce. Large quantities Of the oil Of
orange peel and the oil Of orange
flowers, known as neroli, are made
in Sicily. Much of the oils ofpepper-
mint, thyme, rosemary and lavendar
comes from Surrey, England, while
in North Carolina large quantities of
oil of sassafras are distilled, the bust
ness rising to the proportions of a
considerable industry.
