Grease may be removed from wooden
goods by sponging it with strong cold
coffee.
Fine laces may be cleaned by being
packed in wheat flour and allowed to
remain twenty-four hours.
Tea or chocolate should never be
served with fried foods. Always serve
with fried oysters, fish or Holsters, also
with cheese.
If a shirt bosom or any other article
has been scorched in ironing lay it
where the bright sunshine will fall
directly on it.
Black silk may be renovated by a
thorough sponging with stale beer,
placed between newspapers and pressed
with a hot iron.
Two parts of crude oil and one part
of turpentine removes white spots from
furniture and makes as good a polish
as one a desire to have.

An agreeable way of treating the

ROOFING ROSES.
Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
The art of roofing roses is very simpl
whero IL ia T1ndorstood

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
The art of roofing roses is very simple
where it is understood.
The cuttings should be gathered after
the little bud forms where the leaf
grows on the stem. If they are gath
cred before the buds form, they are
scarcely able to make buds and roots
at the same time. If we will look upon
them as one form of obtaining the seeds
of the rose, and compare with many
other seeds, we will see that the buds
form while the seeds are on the mother
plant, and the cuttings are not ripe for
gathering until the buds have formed.
They must be rooted in sand, from
the fact that sand will lie very closely,
and keep the cuttings moist until the
roots form.
It is desirable to mix a little soil with
the sand, and the least quantity of old
we'll rotted COW manure, if the sand is
very poor, and free from humus. But
it is a rule, seeds and young plants can
not stand much manure or fertilizer,
and some times they fail to terminate
from that ope fact.
They can be rooted we'll at any time
from June TO October. If they are put
out later than October, they are scarce
ly able to stand the winter. Like wheat,
the farmer can tell us, if it does not get
some root growth before cold weather,
it is apt to winter kill.
The cuttings should be stripped of
every leaf save one, and planted 50 that
the bud is just above ground.
The first layer should be soil in the
box or tub, and then filed with sand.
A convenient way is to have sharp
ened stick, and make holes in the sand
