TO BEAT CARPETS AT HOME.

Fold the carpet up carefully, carry
it good distance from any window,
and hang it over a stout line, wrong
side outwards. Two persons should
beat it, one standing on one side, and
one on the other.
Use pliable sticks and tie secHrely
over the end of each a piece of cloth,
to prevent damage being done with
the sharp end or by sudden splitting
of the wood.
When the dust ceases to fly out
turn and beat the carpet on the right
side, and if there is any quite clean
and dry grass drag the carpet right
side downward over it to freshen it.
Lastly, sweep it over lightly with a
carpet whisk, and it is then ready
to be relaid.
Then examine the carpet and re-
move any stains.
For candle-grease stains scrape Off
all the solid matter possible with an
old spoon, not a knife, as the latter
is apt to cut the fibres of the carpet.
Then lay over the mark two lay
ers of blotting paper, and with the
point of a hat pin, iron lightly over
the place.
For oil stains mix a little fullers
water Spread it over the mark, and
leave it on for twenty-four hours
without touching it.
Then brush it off with a hard
brush If some stain still remains,
mix with one tablespoonful of fullers'
earth, one teaspoonful of powdered
magnesia, pour boiling water on, and
use as above.
Another very good method of re-
moving grease stains is to scrape a
little French chalk and spread it
dry on the mark. Leave it on for
two days, and then brush it off thor
oughly.
Ink stains should, of course, if pos
sible, be removed when wet, taking
up as much as possible with blotting
paper to prevent it spreading. Then
some milk should be heated, allowed
to cool, and the skim removed, and
the ink stain then saturated with the
milk.
Keep repeating this process, chang
ing the paper each time, until no
mark is left. The iron melts the
grease, and the paper absorbs it.
Keep wiping it off and dabbing on
fresh milk as it becomes discolored.
When the stain is gone rinse the
patch with tepid water and rub dry.
To Wash a Carpet.
Lay it on the floor, get a coarse
sponge. a moderately hard nailbrush,
one or two coarse linen or other nom
fluffy cloths, bit of flannel, and two
bowls of water.
Use either some of the good white
soaps now procurable or the follow
ing:
HOme-Made Soap Mixture.
Ingredients: Two ounces of finely
shredded soap.
One pint and a half of boiling wa
ter.
One tablespoonful of liquid am
monia.
DIsos1ve the soap in the water over
slow fire. Leave it until lukewarm,
add the ammonia, and mix we'll to-
gether. If any is left over, keep it
in bottle tightly tied down.
Now to proceed. Dip the brush in

what more liberal to the purchaser.
Four hundred dollars an acre may
seem a high price for Uncle Sans
coal land, which few years ago
might have been bought for $40 an
acre. However, the Geological Sur
vey's plan of classification and valu-
alton contemplates that the Govern
ment should receive at least rea-
sonable return for its coal, admit
tedly the most useful rock mineral
in it's possession. When it is under
stood that an acre with, say, 40
foot coal bed or seam contains ap-
proXimately $4,000 tons of coal and
an acre with 100 feet of coal con-
tains 100000 tons, the price asked
by the Government, instead of being
eXorbitant, seems, on the other
hand, hardly sufficient. On land
having thickness of 80 feet of coal
$400 an acre would be less than 3
cents a ton. In reality, under the
Survey regulations which consider
depth of the coal, number of beds,
quality, and other physical details,
the prices asked for many areas
containing 80 feet of coal are equiv
alent to nearer 2 than 3 cents a
ton.
At the minimum prices which
were in effect before the government
Withdrawals of coal lands, the 49,
S73,370 acres above referred to
would have been priced at only
$266,652, ,431, the difference in ia
vor of the public revenue at the new
prices being therefore $445, LOG.
Under the provisions of the national
irrigation law the proceeds from all
sales of coal land are credited to the
reclamation fund" so that Govern
ment irrigation has, as it were, a
considerable trust fund for future
operations.

the soap mixture, and scrub lightly
about a square yard of carpet, but
be careful not to use enough of it to
soak through to the back of the car
pet. Mop up the dirty water with
the sponge. Rinse and rub with the
flannel dipped into first one lot of
clean water (tepid), then the other,
wetting it as little as possible.
Mop with the sponge, and dry with

Picking.


All fruit should be most carefully
hand picked when fully grown, and
red varieties well colored. Too early
picking sacrifices high quality and
color, and also the fruit spurs, while
too late reduces the keeping quail
ties. The exact time of picking can
be determined by the full develop
ment of the fruit, and an occasional
specimen beginning to soften or show
the yellow colors, or drop from the
tree. In picking, the apple should
be grasped in such a manner that
the forefinger touches the stem, and
then by rolling and bending move
ment the apple will be unjointed at
the fruit spur. Careless and hurried
picking often destroys the fruit spur
or pulls out the stem, breaking the
bruising it. Injured fruit will not
keep so well, and its value is thus
reduced.
A padded half bushel basket with a
swing handle is the best receptacle
into which to pick the fruit. Leav-
ing apples lie in piles, with the hot
sun beating upon them, reduces their
keeping qualities. Instead they
should be Immediately cooled after
picking. especially during warm
weather.
Grading.
To aid in asserting apples to uni
form sizes for boxing, sizing board
with row of holes will be helpful.
These holes should be about 2 q in.
to 8 3s in. in diameter, representing
the different sized apples that are
put into boxes. The grader will soon
become able to dispense with the siz-
ing board except when in doubt. The
apples are held up to the hole, but
never dropped through. An ordinary
table covered with layer of canvas
or soft cloth can be used with which
to spread the apples in grading
Winter varieties can be assorted in
to four grades:
1st. The finest for boxes: This
should consist of we'll colored and
finest fruit of high quality varieties
| free from blemishes, and of fine finish
and uniform size.
End. First grade for barrels:
Next sizes to box apples, free from
blemishes and bruises, and of uni.
form size throughout the barrel.
3rd. Second grade for barrels:
Second grade includes the smaller
sizes of sound fruit free from blem
ishes.

THE VALUE OF COTTON.

With the price of cotton down
to the Scent mark a great many
people in the cotton trade have
come to the conclusion that bot
tom has about been reached to
the decline in the price of the
staple. The present price is at
least 5 cents a pound lower thar.
the price of five months ago and
is fully that much below the
average price at which the last
crop sold. While cotton was de-
clining day by day, spinners nat
uralIy refrained from purchasing
more than their immediate wants.
hoping that they would be able to
stock up at even lower figures.
Producers helped and confirmed
this policy by rushing their cotton
to market, thus confirming the be-
lief of consumers that they had a
big crop ahead of them.
Now, however. producers are
beginning to realize that the
crowding of the market with cot
ton for sale, irrespective Of the
size Of the crop, is largely re-
sponsible for the low prices, and
they are adopting the sensible pol
icy Of holding back the remainder
Of the crop as much as possible
Once this fact is realized by spin
ners there will be rush to buy
and as IT, price Of raw cotton il
now considerably below the price
of the manufactured goods. spin
ners have a good margin of profit
in sight and can, therefore. be
counted on to buy as readily on
the advance as they were ready to
hold off while the market was de-
Ginning.
The course for producers and
of spot cotton to pursue is to hold
back and feed the market grad
ually. As sure as they become
nervous and rush their cotton to
market the advance now com.
mencing will be checked, whereas
if they market their cotton grad.
ually the advance, once that il
has gathered impetus, will carry
prices to a level much more in
keeping with the true facts of sup.
ply and demand. --Picayune.
