For scrubbing, housekeeping and dish
washing Fels-Naptha soap is just as superior
as it is for washing clothes Ii does all any
soap will do-bcsides lots of things impos-
sible with other soaps
For instance, il whitens floors in addition
to cleaning them; takes dirt off vanished
surfaces of hard wood without dulling the
yarnish; brightens dingy paint work and
brings out the colors in oil-cloth and lin
oleum ;-and in doing this cleaning you
use a cloth instead of a scrubbing brush.

FENCING FARM PROPERLY.
Run II Means Considerable
Saving.

A great deal of unnecessary fencing
is being put on many of our farms. II
more careful planning and mapping
out of the fields was done there would
be great deal of expense cut of.
The end posts are the life of the
fence and should be put in good and
deep. well tamped and braced.
Care In the selection Of the posts,
especially the corner and end posts, is
very essential. The end or braced
posts should be large and perfectly
sound.
Il possible the posts should be sea
soned. as a green piece Of wood. when
II comes In contact with the damp
earth, forms a breeding place for bac-
terra and fungi
There are several preservative
methods in use, any Of which win aid
II properly applied.
Charring or plunging in burning
coal tar is very satisfactory.

enforced concrete. are being used by

manure on the garden ground

manure on the garden ground.
Butter unfit for table use can hard.
ly be regarded as At for cooking.
The radish is one of the favorite
vegetables. and II is one OF rather
easy cultivation.
The best place to start with the
farm garden is on the most productive
spot of ground ON the farm.
Dust the climbing roses with sui.
phur early in the morning. while the
dew is on. to prevent mildew.
A hard crust over the soil prevents
the rain and heat from entering. Al.
ways keep the surface OF the soil
loose.
II the bean poles are short and the
vines are pinched of when they reach
the top the beans will mature earlier.
II the cabbage root maggot is at
work fit a piece of tarred paper close
about the base Of the plants. II will
help.
The radishes are divided into two
classes, by their season, summer or
winter, and are Of many shapes and
color.
IL is not possible to make the farm
gardening too intensive. The richer
the ground the tenderer and better
the vegetables.
Spraying the cows will discourage
the flies and keep up the milk supply.
Too much trouble? Well, trouble OF
this kind usually pays big.
The garden should be near the
house and surrounded with a good
woven wire netting fence to keep out
fowls and other garden pests.
II the garden must OF necessity be
on a stiff. clayey soil. mix all the
ashes and sand obtainable with II;
they will mellow up wonderfully.
II you grow late maturing crops in
the peach orchard they win keep the
wood growing too late to make them
safe for winter. Clean up the ground

Gate Brace.

some. but their cost is so great that
their use as end posts only is to be
advised.
Rough and heavy braces are I'M
slightly and should be avoided in the
front fences and where cleanliness
and neat appearance are desired.
All fence posts should be set per.
fectly perpendicular and the braces
fitted in closely and tightly.
Pieces of timber put in the ground
between the posts prevent their lean
ing toward each other and also pre-
vent a hole being worn under the gate
through which the shotes may go into
the corn field.
Short braces or blocks set on this
piece Of timber and leaning against
the posts will keep the wheels from
running too near the posts.
A fat stone should form the foot
of the underground brace. The earth
should be well tramped around the
braces and the pests.
To prevent a gate from sagging use
a long hinge post and brace back to
the first fence post as shown in the
cut. The hinges of this gate are
homemade on the hook and eye pat
tern. but the post hinges are long
enough to go through the post and
clinch SO they can't pull out. The eye
hinges have nuts and washers so they
won't come loose. w. Griffin.
