MORE SANITARY AND COMFORTA-

First Requisites for Sleeping Chamber
Are Daintiness and OrderIiness-
Unornamented Paper Best
for the Walls.

Of all the rooms in house, the bed
room is the most expressive of person
atty.
Other rooms must conform to the
opinion, either of the upholsterer, if it
be formally decorated mansion, or of
the family in general in the smaller
house. But in a bedroom, the individ-
uality of the inmate is sure to assert
itself. Many sidelights on disposition
are shown in it's furnishing
First Of all, bedroom should be
dainty and orderly, the furniture in
keeping with the use of the room. Do
not have heavy pieces in small room,
just because they are handsome.
I do not mean to say that all rooms
of old-fashioned furnishings are inap-
propriate, but one often needs wider
backgrounds than four walls to give
the right atmosphere. Sometimes a
whole house, even the quaintness of a
New England town, is needed to give
proper setting for mahogany heir
looms
In the bedroom let us be modern,
whatever the rest Of the house may be
and light. Nowadays, old-fashioned
insistence upon carpets is obsolete.

Remedy for Split Hair.

Singing the hair must be done be-
fore shampooing with an ordinary wax
taper, as the split ends are hard to see
afterward when the hair is damp and
smoothed down; but when the hair is
clipped with the scissors it should be
done after the shampoo. Singing is
remedy for split or broken hair, and
most specialists and hairdressers
recommend it's use.
The care of the hair is, Of course, a
very important subject, and if there is
any serious trouble, such as falling out
and loss of hair, it is always wise to
go to some one of the hair specialists
and have one or two treatments and
use the right kind of tonic, but for the
ordinary care of the hair and the sham
poo the aforementioned rules will be
found sufficient and are not difficult
to follow if one has to take care of
one's own hair.

ing carpets clean.
But supposing there are no hard
wood floors underneath the carpets, :"
some one asks.
Of course, hard wood is really desir-
able, but we still have the resource of
paint. No more old-fashioned upheav-
ais of cleaning With a little care the
room is always fresh and sweet Study
your room, if you paint the floor. Get
some color that will tone into the
woodwork and wall covering.
In room I saw this summer the fur
niture was graceful, the brass bed and
the rugs were in the best of taste, yet
the minute one entered a Earring note
was felt. The floor was painted a
very dark green. The color arose and
greeted you at every turn, for all the
wood work of doors and windows was
white. Then, the paper was some pink
conventional design. Now mahogany
does not call for wall decoration 1t
needs plain background. 1t is usu-
ally safer to use an unornamented pa
per in bedroom anyway. Always
choose daily colors. Red should never
be used; it is too heavy-oppressive
Choose pink, yellow, lavender, white
and blue, or white and green. In the
two last combinations ] mention white
first, for that should predominant, as
the colors are too cold to lead in the
tonal effect.
Don't have upholstered furniture 1t
collects dust and looks stufiy. But if
it must be used, cover the pieces with
cretonne or whatever the room hang
ing may be. For the same reason
washable materials are better for bed
rooms than satins or heavy draperies.

PRETTY COVERS FOR CUSHIONS.
Combination of Powered Silk and
Net or Muslin.

A new and pretty idea for the max
ing of lingerie pillows is to cover
them first with Powered silk and then
with a very open net or thin muslin
having an open design. The lingerie
pillow proper has been popular so
long that some variation on the orig
inal idea was bound to appear for this
summers refurnishing. The new pill
lows are lot easier to make than
were the lingerie cases which have
been popular so long because there is
not nearly so much hand work on
them. And yet they retain the most
important feature of the other lingerie
pillows, which is the possibility Of
frequent laundering, for they can have
removable outer covers, which can be
put into the tub whenever desirable,
leaving the under covers fresh and
spotless.
The under covers of these new
lingerie pillows are made of Powered
silk, which should be of rather distinct
design and vivid coloring in order that
the best effect may be produced. Then
the outer covers may be made of fine
wash net or thin batiste, nainsook or
linen.
If the design for the under case is
a wreath of vivid pink roses, for in
stance, valenciennes may be set in the
outer cover or muslin. Pieces of net
lace or open work may be set in at
some places on the pillow, so that the
design shows through, but if a very
thin dotted swiss or embroidered or
figured swiss be chosen this is not
necessary. The thinnest Paris mus
lin may also be used as a cover di-
rectly over the wreath, but it should
be of a design to harmonic. The
sheer embroidered swiss would allow
the wreath to show through sufficient
ly without any insertion. A design of
red roses on the under cover would
also show through sufficiently well.
Tulips, large green leaves, peonies,
chrysanthemums-a these designs
are good if the outer cover is to be
without insertion. To make the pill
lows attractive, however, the outer
cover should be of net or of very sheer
material if it is not to have insertions.

HOW GOVERNMENT
AIDS
By H. H. Gross, Secretary Farm
ers' Good Roads League.

There is one division of the United
States department of agriculture, es-
tablished by congress few years ago
and known as the office of public
roads, devoted to the betterment of
the highways. The chief of this di-
vision is Mr.. Logan Waller Page of
Massachusetts, an experienced and
practical road builder, who has made
a careful and exhaustive study of the
subject.
The object of this office is to show
the people how to construct roads in
the proper way, and to this end OBJ
ject lesson roads are built in various
parts of the country. In this manner
the people learn how to spend road
funds to the best advantage, which
tends to counterfeit the enormous
waste that for years has been going
on in every state in the union.
Although badly handicapped by in
adequate appropriations, vast
amount of work has already been &C
complished. Scientific tests of vari-
GUS road materials are made in the
laboratory especially designed for that
work; observations taken as to the
actual results of various methods OF
treating roads to prevent dust, abra-
sion. rutting, etc., how to obtain the
best results in earth road dragging,
the treatment of roads upon sandy,
loan and clay soils, etc., in fact, it is
a school of road building, complete in
every detail.
i This Office issues many bulletins,
prepared by Mr.. Page, his assistants
and other eminent authorities, giving

Frame Work for Shade.

to remember that shade is one of the
essentials to be supplied if we are
to get good birds. OF course trees
are preferable, but in many cases
when the yards and houses are new
and situated on virgin soil, tree growth
is only available a number of years
after planting. In such emergencies
a simple continuance like the one
herein illustrated will be found gen.
orally serviceable. The boards can
be of any size convenient for han
ding, and the whole cost need not be
over so cents. The frame can be
covered with burlap or tar paper,
whichever is the more convenient and
available. Leave both ends open. This
shelter can be moved wherever
needed.

much better skin and color. Within
less than month after the first
spraying large number of the apples
were distorted in shape, because of
one side having outgrown the other,
and nearly all were somewhat
dwarfed in growth.
BY harvest time the fruit had large
ly outgrown the damage by spraying
and colored surprisingly well. When
graded for size and worms, most of it
would pass for fancy this season., but
in ordinary seasons could not be so
classed because of the russeted skins.
Some varieties seem TO be very little
subject to this damage, although
sprayed at the same time, with the
same materials, and in the same way
as the more tender kinds; but Bald
win and Ben Davis are both very sus-
ceptible to russeting. If such heavy
spraying can be recommended as de-
sirable, it is quite possible that bet
ter results will be secured by omit
ting the Bordeaux from the first
spraying after bloom, using only the
arsenate of lead and milk of lime at
that time. This adjustment would
probably necessitate an application of
Bordeaux before blooming as well as
it's addition to the mixtures for the
second and third treatments after
blooming.
A summary of conclusions is as fol-
lows:
1. Orchards sprayed with lime-sul-
phur wash in winter do not need
treatment with Bordeaux mixture be-
fore blossoming, unless this ingredient
is omitted from the spray applied just
after blooming.
2. Very heavy applications of COM

An orchard, located near Amherst,
o., was selected for the experiment,
the part of it used consisting of about
325 trees set on about II acres of
ground. These trees average 20 feet
or more in height and have an equal
spread of top. Some sections of the
orchard were slightly infested with
San Jose scale, and, late last winter,
it was carefully sprayed by the own
ers with lime-sulphur wash. Hence,
no spraying with Bordeaux mixture
before blooming was deemed neces-
sary. Regular Bordeaux treatments
had been given for several summers
prior to the present one, therefore the
orchard was quite free from scab. The
sod-mulch system of culture has been
followed and wormy apples were said
to have been quite numerous the pre-
ceding year, the owners estimating
that fully 40 or SO per cent. of the
crop would have been wormy at har-
vest if the trees had been left un-
sprayed.
The spraying outfit consisted of a
gasoline power pump and $50 gal
lon tank mounted on trucks. A suit
able tower, built on the trucks and
carrying an elevated platform from
which the tallest trees could be cas-
lily reached, added to the convenience
and efficiency of the apparatus. BAN
boo extension rods ten feet long were
used. Each rod was terminated by a
cluster of four vermorel nozzles. To
compare the value of the coarse driv-
ing sprays with those ordinarily used,
a set of worn vermorel caps were
drilled out until the orifices were yet
further enlarged and these were used
in comparison with new medium caps.

For each one of the rods a crook was
made from one-fourth inch gas pipe.
When attached to the extension
rod, the bent end makes an an
gle of about 25 degrees with the pole.
Each end of the crook is threaded,
one end to connect with the rod by
means of gas coupling, the other to
screw into the head of the nozzle clus-
ter. This device enables the operator
to better direct the spray into the cal
ices of the blossoms and also to more
readily reach the undersides of the
lower branches by turning the rod so
that the spray is thrown upward. Fig
ure 2 shows a cluster of nozzles on a
ring which is set at about the correct
angle by the manufacturers. If the
angle is made greater than 80 degrees
the work cannot be done very salts
factorily. Some nozzIes are SO made
that they can be turned on their
shanks to about the right angle.

later in commencing than would have

stances. The first spraying was begun
May 80 and, because of interfering
rains, was not finished until June Z.
In cold, wet springs, if sprayed with
Bordeaux mixture or arsenical COM
pounds, young apples are apt to be-
come more or less russeted, owing to
the excessive development of cork
cells in the skin. This experimental
orchard exhibited conspicuous
amount of russeting. The trees earli-

bined spray Bordeaux mixture and
arsenate of lead) within a week or
ten days after the blossoms fall will
do much to- give a high percentage
of sound fruit, but in cold wet seasons,
and we may discover in all seasons, it
russets the fruit, diminishing it's value
for fancy markets.
8. By emitting Bordeaux from the
first treatment after bloom and using
only a heavy spray of arsenate of
lead, it may be possible to secure a
high percentage of sound fruit reason
ably free from russell. This procedure
is worthy of experimental trial.
4. If Bordeaux is omitted from the
treatment just after bloom as sug-
gested in 3, it would probably be best
to use it before the bloom after the
leaves are expanded, and again in
the second spraying after bloom. OBJ
servation alone can determine
whether it should be used in the July
spraying If the leaves are yellow and
falling at this time leave out the Bor-
deauX.
5. The third spraying should be CIV
en- by July Is or earlier.
6. Trees should be sprayed at least
two or three times to secure best re-
suits. Some growers make five appli-
cations or more.
7. The net profit from spraying an
average sized tree from II to 20 years
old throughout one season at total
cost of from 80 to so cents is from
So to 81 or more, when apples are
worth 81 per bushel.
s. The essentials for success are a
good spraying outfit, making the ap-
plications at the right time, and thor
1ugh work.
