Proper Way to Prepare the Apartment
For Its Many Winter Furnishings

When the right apartment has beer
| found. it Is advisable to attend to all the
preliminary cleaning before any of the
furniture is brought in. This will save
the lifting and moving about of heavy
pieces. besides facilitating the work very
materially.
Even though walls have all been fresh
| ly renovated. there is much left to be
done. In the first place, the housekeeper
should take steps to destroy any vermin
that may have found lodging IN the
cracks and crevices. If this Is not at
tended to at the right time. there is the
likelihood that they will find a lodging
place in the furniture. which makes the
task of elimination very much moro
complicated.
An infallible vermin destroyer is corro-
sive sublimate. With a one-inch paint
brush, all crevices should be gone over.
In the closets, especially those for cloth
ing, the shelves. IL there are any. should
be removed IL possible. in order to do
this thoroughly. Corners should receive
particular attention. and II the boards in
the flooring have shrunk SO that crevices
have appeared. these will also require at
tention. The halls should not be over
looked. As the corrosive sublimate does
not stain. and destroys both the eggs and
the live vermin. the advantages in using
1t freely will be readily seen. Corrosive
sublimate is a poison so care must be
exercised in its use. Do not leave II
where a child might reach il.
II there is reason to suspect the pres
ence Of reaches, one OF the good roach
pastes should be used, following direc-
tons carefully. A few traps for mice
may also be placed about. The ounce of
many pounds Of cure In the future.
II there Is a stationary refrigerator. 1t
should be scrubbed with strong wash
ing soda solution. a quantity of which
should be poured through its drain pipe.
The same applies to the kitchen sink and
wa ashtubs. II the woodwork has not been
freshly painted. it will be necessary to
wash it. The best results are obtained
by using hot water into which a little
kerosene oil has been poured. Soaps and
securing powders would be apt to dull
the surface. After the surfaces are
washed clean. they must be wiped dry
with a clean cloth.
Closets should be thoroughly scrubbed
with hot water and soap. This should
all be done before applying the corrosive
sublimate.
Next in order are the windows. II
removed and wiped with a dry clean
cloth. IL they are very dusty the cloth
will have to be changed frequently. To
clean the windows and produce bril-
liant polish. add little kerosene oil to

Cooperative Farming for
Women an innovation
Splendid Idea Which Affords Chance to Special
ize, Opportunity of Obtaining Better Land
and More adequate Equipment.

I and specialization. a. well az the means
of quick and adequate conveyance to
market.
Eliminates Hired Labor.
The combination Of work which the
scheme affords eliminates that vexins
problem OF hired labor. and simplifes
tho plan Of living. the idea being an
exchange Of products which will do
away with that division Of effort which
is necessary to the general farmer. az
We in America understand the term.
For instance. the woman who wants
to give her entire time to fruit growing
can do SO, because she can exchange
cializing on poultry raising. and the wom-
an who attends to the raising Of trucks.
and SO on. In addition to all this these
far-seeing women promise themselves
growth on a scientific basis until they
will be able to use every foot Of land
at their disposal to advantage.
There are a good many American wom-
en- who have undertaken farming. but
they have been women-in the matn-who
have had sufficient capital back Of them
to properly equip a farm and employ
labor enough to work 1t. There are sew
eral women In New England who have
been successful on this scale. but their
system excludes the woman Of small
means, or no means at ALL and she 10
just as likely as otherwise to have an
inclination to see things grow and ma
ture and bear fruit as the result OF her
personal work.
Would Prove Successful Here.
The idea Of united capital and united
labor would prove just as successful
here as in England. would enable the
American woman who wants to farm
(but VINO mas not the money to buy cx-
pensive Implements not only to follow
her inclination. but to have a better
farm and take up just the branch OF
the work which most interested her.
Just few weeks ago We had a little
talk about the school for horticulture,
which was established two years ago at
Amber. Pa. a school which grew out Of
the American woman's constant demand
for a chance to learn how to become
market growers, gardeners. fruitgrowers.
and the many other branches included
under the word horticulture" Since l
told my readers OF the aims and objects
of this school 1 have had many eager
inquiries concerning it, all Of which only
goes to prove that women are daily
coming into fuller realization OF their
possibilities outside of the devitalizng
Office occupations. and are reaching OUT
eager hands to grasp the opportunities
to- which their eyes are opening.
1t is a splendid thing to see this in
creasing demand of woman in industrial
life for freer. saner. happier lives than
those spent in occupations which doubled
them up over Office desks.
And this community arrangement Of
our English sisters is an idea which We
are sure to promote in this big country
of ours where conditions for the women
cooperative farmers are most auspi-
cious.
