For Kitchen Shelves.

Instead of continually buying lace
shelf paper, you will find it much
cheaper in the end to buy coarse tor,
chon lace the desired width, sew on a
piece of tape, and tack to the shelf
with small tacks. Whenever dirty,
take off, wash and iron. This will last
for years, and your pantry will always
be fresh and attractive.
Shelves for precious china and glass
ware should have pads of felt to pre-
vent chipping. When fragile plates
must be piled one on another, round
piece of plotting paper placed between
will save breakage.

KEEP AWAY SQUASH ENEMIES
Kerosene Emulsion VIII Drive Bugs
From Their Cover So They
Can Be Hand-killed.

To keep bugs away from the young
plants, cover the hills not infested
with wire netting, burying all edges
under the soil, else they will get un-
der them sure.
The squash Is subject to fee beetles
and yellow-and-b lack-striped bugs and
these do not like clean cultivation.
So burn all rubbish after getting off
the crop. Examine the vines twices
a day. The bugs gather constantly
Better plant more seed than are
properly developed for emergency
cases of destruction by bugs.
Kerosene emulsion will drive bugs
from their cover SO they can be hand
killed, and that is about the surest
practice.

PRACTICAL HINTS OF PLANTS
Palm, When Grown on Shady Side Of
House and Kept Moist, VIII
Prove Thing of Beauty.
(Bv R~SSIE T.. PUTNAMo

By BESSIE L. PUTNAM.)
If you cannot afford palm, go to
the woods and get nice fern. II
grown on the shady side of the house
and kept moist, it will prove a thing
of beauty.
The woodland violets may we'll
keep it company, some of the large
white ones being delightfully."- frag-
rant.
When receiving a new plant, espe.
cially If from florist, examine it well
and see that it is free from insects.
A breeding place for some new insect
may be revealed.
A tea made of tobacco leaves makes
one of the best remedies for insects;
roses, especially, are benefited by
spraying with it weekly. Only a few
forms of worms will endure the weed.
Start geranium cuttings in midsum-
mer for the winter blooming. They
are readily rooted in glass of wa
ter placed in a sunny window. AS
they increase in size, keep the tips
Of the branches pinched back to in
sure compact form of growth.
The agave, or century plant, will
respond well to draft of manure
water once week during the sum-
mer, but when resting the fertilizer
must be entirely withheld.
Keep the flowers Of all ANIMALS
picked regularly if you would have
the season of bloom prolonged.
Seed forming is a drain which most
plants cannot endure except by de-
terioration of the blossoms.
The most successful flower grower
Is one who is continually on the look
out to see what her wards are about.
If the soil is dry she notices it; if a
new insect appears she is on hand
to fight for her charges. Few plants
will for protracted period do their
best without care.

To Keep Greens Crisp.

Lettuce, celery, parsley, green's or
any foliage vegetable may be restored
to perfect crispness and freshness,
however limp and wilted they may be,
by first plunging them into cold water
and allowing them to remain a few
moments, then draining them off, leav-
ing them practically dry. Then put
them into an alright receptacle, leav-
ing for several hours. One large pan
turned over another pan of equal size
is satisfactory alright receptacle.
To purify green's that are to be eaten
raw, use a pinch of boric acid powder
in the water in which they are to be
washed.

TESTING Brooms.

Very few housewives know how to
tell good broom from a bad one.
When a new broom wears out quick
ly they blame the grocer and often
refuse to buy another broom at the
same store
If, when they we're buying one, they
would test it, they would have no one
but themselves to blame for a poor
broom.
1t should be tested by pressing it to
the floor. If the straws spread out
and bend it is poor broom. If they
remain solid it is good one.
