OZONE IN CLEAN CLOTHES.
Simple Method of Freshening the Air
Of q Sickroom.

simple Method of Freshening the Air
Of a sickroom:
Almost everyone has noticed the pecu-
liarly refreshing smell of clean linen, es-
pecially when just taken from the lines
and brought indoors. It is not 30 general
" known how valuable is the connection
between this cool and grateful odor and
the ozone which is 80 necessary in sick
room. The London Lancet, standard
medical authority, contains an article on
this subject, in which it is stated that the
atmosphere OF an apartment may be
charged with ozone by bringing into it
damp linen sheets that have just been ex-
posed to dry, sharp wind. Bringing
them into the house and shaking them or
waving them about in the air of the room
will, according to the statements made,
change the character Of the air. This is
4 matter Of importance to inyaiids, who
ozone in the air they breathe. A means
90 simple and effective and one that il
within the reach of every person should
be generally understood. It seems that
all that ig necessary is to bring the linen
to the room Immediately after it is taken
from the lines out of doors and shake and
whirl it about, when the charact of the
air will be altered at once. Hospital at.
tendants oftentimes remark how readily
4 patient will drop into quiet sleep af.
ter bed linen has been renewed. The
cause is doubtless to be found in the
ozone released from the sheets newly
washed and aired

Z Flowing Under Manure.

the. winter-made stable manure is coarse

late in the season about the. impolicy of

fermentation, and though this is always
accompanied by some loss of fertility.
what remains is in such soluble condi-
ton that it will be more effective than
the whole pile of coarse manure would
be. If manure is to- be used on winter
grain, it should be as top dressing after
the grain is sown and up. That is far
better than blowing it under, which often
does injury to winter grain, by making
