in marked evidence of response to

production in the rear future. At

The question of animal pasturagt
Tor orchards has been quite definite
ly settled so far as conditions al
Highmoor are concerned. The sheep
orchard pastured with five animals
yielded this year at the rate of six
and one-half barrels per acre. the hog
plot 1G barrels per acre and the cul-
tivatea plot adjacent at the rate of
127 barrels per acre. In general the
results confirmed the experience of
years of practice by the best orchard

FURNISHING A BED ROOM.

I'm furnishing q bedroom where
there is limited space. it is well to
have as many things as possible which
win hang up" says Christine Herrick
in Woman's Home Companion. THE
shoe-bag which hangs on the inside OF
the closet door should have pockets
deep enough to accommodate shoes
holding trees. Provide a bag of some
suitable wash material for soiled
handkerchiefs and collars and hang
this where it viii be accessible.
Cleanliness in q bedroom cannot be
too strict. busting with q damp cloth
should be an everyday affair. If the
walls are painted, they should be wiped
off every few weeks with a cloth wrung
out in suds to which a little kerosene
has been added. When there is q
washstand the furnishings OF this
should have daily care. The inside of
the bowl. pitcher and slop-jar should
be washed with hos water and SOAP,
and the last named article should be
scalded out daily. The soap dish should
be washed thoroughly every day.
Special attention should be given to
making the bed. Every morning ii
should be entirely stripped and well
aired, the covers placed there to keep
foot on chair placed there to keep
them from contact with the floor, the
mattresses tilted UP that the air may
get To both sides. The mattress must
be turned daily. When the bed is made
the mattress cover should be laid on
smoothly. the lower sheet tucked down
all around before the upper sheet goes
on. The latter must be put under the
mattress at the foot far enough to in
sure against working up at night and
vet sufficient must be left free at the
top to protect the face and neck from
contact with the blanket. The blankets
must be tucked In at the foot and
sides. the spread must be arranged less
securely. so that Ii may be taken OFF
