CLEANING ORIENTAL RUGS
How Spots Can Be Removed and tho
Rich Colors Of the Fabric
Brought Out. GNH

After oriental rugs have been dust
cleaned at home by any of the new
and excellent electric cleaners, the
nonsekeeper finds the rugs truly dust
iess' but not clean looking. II there
are grease spots or any other spots
on the carpet they remain as before.
Inc province of the machine is to
remove every particle of dust and 1t
iuihiis this mission, but the good
housekeeper Is not content to see
spots OF any kind remaining on her
rugs.
This can be remedied and the rich
colors brought out by the following
SIMPLE method. Leave the rug on the
moor where 1t belongs. Remove every.
'hihg from on top of it Take naptha
sap and make lather in luke warm
wafer. Take an old Turkish towel.

tower and continue to rub until the
towel remains clean. Whenever the
suus look dark change the water and

When the entire carpet is rubbed,
take luAe warm water, dip In your
towel, wiring out. and go over the en-
ire surface so that no sign of the
suds Is left. Then leave the rug un.

surprising how the rug lights I'D! The
natural tints of oriental material ara

tnat the rug is clean from a sanitary
point OF view is satisfaction.

strument serves to kill many of the
flies that pass by the screening.
Q. Fly Paper. This paper also
serves to destroy limited number Of

3. Various Poisonous Solutions
Such solutions are bichromate of pot
ash (dram to ounces OF water) and
5 per cent. solution Of formalin IN
water. Various poisons found in the
market In little tins supplied with
wicks are also helpful. The water is
added to the poisoned water. When
such poisons are used, All open water
should be removed from the room 60
that the fly will have to drink poison
ed water.

Practical Woods Training.

Practical men engaged in the lumber
business, timber land owners, farmers,
and all oJher men interested in
forestry will have an opportunity, if
they wish, to join a summer camp
which the Missouri College of Agri-
culture will locate next summer on |
the university forest in Butler County,
Missouri The exact date of the OPP
ening Of the camp has not been fixed,
butt will probably be about June
18th.
The work will include detailed
study of the larger logging operations,
and saw mills near Poplar Bluff;
methods of Telling, skidding, loading,
transporting, and manufacturing and
grading lumber; estimating the con-
tents, rate of growth and future
yields OF individual trees and entire
i forests; methods of dealing with fires,
fungi, and insects; methods of for
est surveying, of laying out logging
railroads, wagon roads, trails, and
of cutting timber SO as to secure a
continuous timber supply. The Uni
lversity owns over 5000 acres OF forest
land in Butler County and nearly 1000
in Wayne County. All of this land
can be easily reached from the camp.
Part Of this large tract was cut over
several years ago and effords an ex-
cellent opportunity to study the new
, growth following logging operations
The remainder of the timber is mix
ed hard wood stand composed chiefly
,, of white and black oak, ash, hickory,
and elm. The summer camp is part
{ of the regular coArse in forestry giver
by the College of Agriculture. The
! students live in tents furnished by the
3 University. A nominal fee OF tel
: dollars is charged for the use OF. the
It tents and other camp equipment

his own bedding and personal outfit

shop should have such a garbage can.
If little meat is placed in the garb-
age can, the green blow fly will be
caught along with other flies.
If these cans were used in the
places above designated, the adult fly
population would soon be extermi-
mated. The garbage can should be
placed near the kitchen door con-
venient to the kitchen and to the
garbage collector.
Business houses, especially those
Edealing in foodstuffs of any kind,

This is perhaps the most important
factor in the determination OF this
Insect. Flies breed in dead vegetable

breed in all trash about the house anC
yard. After the deposition OF the
eggs, ten days elapse before the ma
ture fly is devoloped; hence, all trash
both vegetable and animal, should be
cleaned attintervals of less than ter
days in order to destroy each crop o
larvae A general clearing, cleaning
up should be done once each week

Z. An ideal breeding place may b.
found in outhouses unprotected from
flies; consequently all clubhouse
should be screened, kept clean, AM
