How to Repaek Ice Cream

When the cream is frozen. take off the cross bar. remove the lid and dasher, pack the ice cream neatly in the bottom of the can, replace the lid, closing the hole in it with a cork. Fill the tub with salt and ice, pushing them down to the bottom of the tub until the tub is filled to it's top and covering the can; then put over the freezer piece of carpet or blanket, to exclude air, and stand in cold place for one or two hours to ripen and harden. When ice cream is fresh each ingredient is tasted separately; but after standing one or two hours they blend and form a pleasant whole. This is called ripening.

LATE SUMMER WORK AMONG
 TIE FLOWERS
By HELEN WATTS M'vEY.

For the window garden get only plants adapted to such conditions. or that have been especially prepared for winter blooming
 Keep them growing, shifting into larger pots as they grow. and do not allow them to blossom during the fall.
 Old geraniums that have bloomed all summer will not bloom in the window garden. Root young plants. or get them of the florist and get the sorts that take kindly to house conditions.
 Keep them in pots with not too rich soil and plunge the pots in some shady place with a good light. Pinch out all buds
 Cutting of hard-wooded plants should be started to roofing in mid summer, when the new growth begins to harden. Almost any hardwooded plant can be propagated by clippings or cuttings with proper treatment
 The cuttings should be four or five inches long and inserted three inches in sand and kept wet and partly shad- ed and out of the way of the wind un- til the roots are formed.
 They are slower to start than soft wood plants. but seldom fail if cut tings are given the proper treatment
 In planting a window garden, decide what you want-fiowers or foliage; then work out your plans.
 Many plants will not bloom for an amateur. no matter what care is given while others will bloom in spite of

ing every month; but by planting diff ferent varieties some of them may be kept blooming nearly the entire sum- mer. The daisy is really not domes- ticated flower. as great many low growing wild flowers are called daisies. Many varieties are classed as weeds.
 In fact, the ox-eyed daisy. which IS plentiful all through NeW England and some of the northern states, is called white.weed.
 The ehrysanthemums and wild as- ters are called daisies and really be- long to the same family.
 While it would not be possible per haps to have daisy hedge ih bloom all the year, still by planting the vari- ous species of daisies. chryssnthe- nuns and asters some bloom could be had from April to November.

 Begin with holding water from your Gala lilies now, and by the middle of August the plant should be dry. Put it away in the cellar until the begin- hing of September, when it may be given rich soil watered, gradually in- creasing the amount. using water hand hot, and when we'll started in growth give it the lightest place you can.
 If mildew attacks your plants, dust with sulphur while the dew is on; do this at the first sign of it. Digging sulphur in about the roots is said to prevent the disease. It is an ugly thing to handle.

AMONG THE FLOWERS

If the seed is allowed to develop on the lilac it generally has few flowers except eve.y other year.
 The best way to kill weeds now is to pull them up by hand
 An excellent spray for the rose bushes is made of one-half pound of laundry soap melted in hot water. to which is added one cupful of kerosene. When this comes to a boil. use about one part to fifteen parts of water.
 Scrape up the road dust and apply about the roots of your plants dur ing the hot. droughty weather. and keep the moisture in the soil.
 Lawn clippings make an excellent mulch for the larger plants and shrubs.

DAISIES EVERY MONTH IN
 YEAR

In the mild climate of California and some of the southern states. daisies bloom all the year around.
 In California these flowers grow very much larger than those of the East. as do all Pacific coast flowers; but they seem to lack brillianey. and to many persons are not as satisfac- tory.
 Luther Burbank developed the Shas- ta daisy to very large and beautiful flower and this is largely taking the place of the Marguerite or Paris daisy which has long been favorite with Gaiifornians
 In the colder climates. of course. it is impossible to keep daisies bloom.

Use of Mica In the Industries.
 Mica mining in the United States started early in the nineteenth cen- tury in New Hampshire. which state supplied all the domestic production until about 1868, when mining was started in North Carolina and sub- sequently in other states. At present the greater part of the sheet mica is used in the electrical industry, and most of the scrap mica is ground for use in the decorative trade. especially in wallpaper.
