Hints for HOUSE cIeanina Time.


Having cleaned floors, woodwork
and furniture, the attention turns natu-
rally to floor coverings which. need
should rarely be washed except
before rewaxing. and a wood floor
can be kept from scratches IL
the legs of the chairs and tables have
a bit of felt pasted on the bottom.
For this purpose old felt hats may
be used.
Care of Rugs.
Good rugs can be safely scrubbed,
and professional rug cleaners do this
work very successfully. 1t is q good
idea to stipulate that they are TO be
simply scrubbed with suds when
turning them over to the cleaner. for
sometimes a bleach is used on them.
Scrubbing is perhaps the most salts
class rug, but might prove fatal to
one made of poor material or dyed
with inferior cOIors. Nearly all rugs
redye well, but this is work for a
professional. and not for the house
keeper.
Ordinarily all that is needed is
vacuum cleaner TO keep rugs
thoroughly clean. If you have none,
take your rugs into the yard
and sweep them thoroughly with a
broom. This will keep the wallpaper
and hangings clean, and you won't
have to breathe the dust which you
are sweeping. A good sweeping with
the carpet sweeper will do in the
meantime.
To Keep a Rug Flat.
When the edge of a rug persists in
curling up, lay over it, on the wrong
side, damp cloth, and on this place
a moderately hot iron. Let it stand
for a few minutes and the steam will
make the rug lie perfectly fat.
An old corset steel dress-stay, or
piece of stiff wire cat-stitched dag
onaIly at the corners, on the wrong
side of 4 much used tapestry rug, will
keep it from curling up.

thistle could be fed to cattle at one
half the cost Of alfalfa hay and that
the condition of the cattle would be
the same. 1t was the first scientific
ally conducted experiment with Rus
sian thistle in the United States. The
experiment showed the cost per COW

was over fifteen cents, while Russian
