POLISHED FLOOR NEEDS CARE
Methods by Which It May Be Made
to Last Long and Always Appear
at Its Best.

The first step in polishing soft
wood floor is to see that 1t is perfect
ly smooth and clean. 1t 1t has been
already painted or vanished the
stains should be removed with strong
ammonia and thorough scraplng,
when all cracks and dents should be
closed with putty and filler applied
all over This can be purchased at
most oil and varnish shops, and should
either be mixed with a little color or
sufficient quantity Of floor stain
should be added. The filler should be
put on with a fiat brush or piece OF
cloth and worked In one direction
with the grain of the wood. while on
completion Of the process the room
should be closed for "a hours. At the
end Of that time the boards should be
rubbed until they shine, with long
handled. heavy weighted broom. over
which piece Of carpet has been
tackled. and this process may be re-
peated ad libitum. Finally the floor
may be polished with boiled linseed
oil and turpentine, this mixture being
rubbed well in with cloth and then
left for an hour or two to dry, after
which 1t must be again polished with
the weighted brush.
Instead of final touch Of this de-
scription, the floor may be finished
with a coat of varnish or shellac or
with some prepared hardwood treat
ment. both of which should be put on
evenly and thinly with a weighted
brush or with an old piece of carpet.
In order to keep the floor at Its
best after the polishing process has
been completed, 1t should never be
washed with water. but after all tho
dust has been removed crude petro-
leum should be rubbed in and left to
dry.
