TIE HOUSEHOLD.
Cleaning CARPETS.

Perhaps the most thorough way to
clean a carpet, especially a Brussels car
pet, is to lay it on a clean grass plat,
face down, and beat it as it lies there.
After being beaten thoroughly, it can be
dragged by the corners over the grass
which will brush off all the adhering
dust and the carpet will be cleaned in
the most approved manner. To beat a
carpet on a line is but an imperfect way
and the work is not as well done, unless
by the most patient beating, besides not
being as easy as the aforementioned way
The sO-called carpet-beating machines in
use in this country are barbarOus in their
treatment Of choice floor coverings
With, perhaps, twenty others, our car
pets are tumbled about in great Cylin-
der until they are folded in a thousand
ways, and returned, instead of the stiff
firm carpet sent out, soft, limp articles,
that have lost half their wearing quail
tiles,
In England, Ireland and Scotland the
prudent housewife compelled the carpet
heaters to discard the rotary carpet de-
strOyer, and automatic beating machines
are now used, which beat carpets as near
like hand work as is possible for machin-
cry to do it. If living in a city, it will
pay to employ men to take carpets out
into the country and beat them, as above
uOSOAlDCN 1AACo1 COliI po'I NJ 40S AiyS3 CtSA
pets will never be beaten by machinery
again.
Again, don't let carpets be cleaned on
the floor, as is being practiced in sOme
cities. That Shiny compound that is
brushed on the carpet is only soft soap,
nothing else, cOlored- and perfumed, per-
haps, with sassafras. 1t is true that it
makes the carpet look clean, but it is
well known that more or less of that
soap stays in the back of the carpet,
having worked its way through, along
the sides and in corners. A physician,
or any one versed in chemistry, knows
that this soap which stays in the carpet
is resolved into grease, attracting myriads
of flies, carpet bugs and insects of all
kinds, besides decOmpOsing and filling
the rooms with dangerous gases, from
the disgusting compound of grease, wool
and dirt.-GOOd HOHRekeenimn.

The principal value of sulphur is to
fumigate. Put some in pan with some

The other plan of using is to feed. Tt
will help if this is done carefully. But
good care must be taken or more harm
will be done than benefit derived. There
is no harm in feeding if kept dry, but il
they get wet there is a considerable risk
of loss.
After feeding keep dry for few days;
two or three doses should be given in
order TO secure the best results. Gener-
orally taking all risks into consideration
it will be best to use something else when
it can be secured. There are a number

VINEGAR improves with keeping, there
fore it is best to lay in a large supply.
IF the clothes are soaked over night,
one tablespoonful of pure ammonia in
each tub of water will materially lessen
the labor of washing.
TWENTY-FIVE pounds Of granulated

INK stains on linen can be taken out if
the stain is first washed in strong salt

For weeds in the grass put a pinch or

weeds.
COLORED and black stockings, if

ture than the heavier COtsWOld or Ok

consideration regarding the proper con-
ditiOns necessary for its thrift and its
adaptation to the purposes in view.
THE discussion on the subject of dosing
growing animals with phosphate of lime,
has been whitfield down to the formula
that, recourse should be had only to that
salt, when the ordinary ratiOns appear
to be deficient in phosphates; and this de-
ficiency will be indicated by the defect
i've growth of the animal, and its ten
denCy to diarrhOea. The same land does
not always produce, in the course of
years, hay, straw, corn, etc, of uniform
richness; the fields may be less MANFRED,
or the season too dry, resulting in pro-
duce possessing a lower percentage in
phOsphOric acid. Try, then, it is urged,
change of ailments; barley and rye are
poor in phOsphate; but good hay, and
even pea haulm, are very rich in it.

THE Agricultural Society of Malchin,
in MecklembOurg, has discussed the
question: els it profitable to wash sheep
before clipping them?" The members
agreed with Agricultural Inspector Null
Ter, that it was best not to wash before
shearing; it was less troublesome for the
farmer, and more agreeable and less eX-
pensiYe in clipping. The Inspector say Us
that the fleece loses, when washed,
so to 60 per cent. in weight, according
to the manner the sheep have been cared
for. Accepting that the unwashed fetches
only half the price of the washed fleece,
the money value ought consequently to
be reduced the moiety. In practice he
has not found this to be fact. Since
eight years the Basedow fiOcks have been
clipped unwashed, and each sleeps wool
realized fr. ~, while a preceding eight
years, when the sheep were washed be-
fore being shOrn, the fleece fetched fr.
1917. M. Muller, bearing in mind the
variations in the price of wool since 1870,
not the less estimates, that the unwashed
realizes only FIR. IL less than the washed
fleece. One speaker affirmed that the
important saving by not washing sheep,
was not appreciated as it should be, and
that good breeds, when we'll fed and
cared for, will not entail any pecuniary
IOss-but on the contrary-if the wash
ing before shearing be abandoned.

THE FARM
T. II So Potatosa.

How to Store Potatoes
Different men have different methods
and different climates require different
treatment for their root and cereal crops.
Many farmers say pieing or burying is
the best, while others again say storage
In cellar or barn is the best. Each is
good in its way, and below viii be found
two methods which very rarely fail to be
satisfactory if properly managed.
In the first place be certain that the
tubers are fully ripe. Potatoes that are
dug too early will not keep properly;
they turn soft, are unsavOry for cooking
and weakly for seed. The best way to
determine whether the tubers are fully
matured, is to observe the haulm. The
leaves turn yellow and the vines shrink.
Having dug the potatoes, if they appear
dry, they can be carried away to the
place of storage at once; but, if at all
damp, they should lie on the ground in
the sun until the moisture is entirely alb
sOrbed. First, method of storing is to
dig trench about two or three feet
deep, and large, according to the quantity
of roots to be stored. Carefully and
compactly fill the trench, cover up with
hay or straw then cover with earth and
sod, and your potatoes will turn out in
the spring, sound and sweet.
Another method is to cart them from
the field and spread them in a cool cellar
and leave them until late in the fall,
then heap them together and cover them
with sacks or straw, or fill them into
barrels, keeping the cellar always about
five degrees above freezing point. Great
care should be taken in storing the
potatoes in cellars, that they do not be-
come too warm and rot, or sprOut too
early, or freeze and become worthless
