Dear Folks: So many queries
have come in regarding the use OF
the hot linseed Oil on the unpaint-
ed floors that I am going to take
up bit of space in the Question
COX to give the manner of using it.
You can use the oil on an old
floor provided the floor has not been
painted or stained, or if the paint or
stain has entirely worn off. In the
case of an old floor, have lit thor
oughly scrubbed, getting out all the
stains possible for, of course, stains
will show through the oil. When the
floor is free from running water,
but not quite dry, apply the boiling
oil, about >one-half gallon to a tlf-
teen-foot square room, with large
paint brush. 1t is best to heat your
oil in a receptacle of hot water;
that is, put your oil in a can and
set the can in a pan of water. In
this way there is no possibility Of it's
catching fire. Your oil must be kept
boiling hot, so you will have to re-
turn it frequently to the heat. On
new floor you do not have to wet
the planks. 1t will absorb without
that. On an old floor a good effect
is produced by adding a half pint of
oil oak stain to the linseed oil. This
treatment gives much the appearance
of hard wood. The floor may be
waxed if desired and needs only
dry mop for bleaning.
Cordially

a country woman at heart, and no
amount of living in the city could
change that, and l realize fully Just
what you mean. No, there is no
sense in Swept Yards" There must
be some time that the men on the
farm might, when the plough is not
needed in the field, turn OVER the
hard baked front yard for you. The
men generally know whether the
ground is sour" If it is use lime
to sWeeten it. Use stable or BARNARD
fertilizer, and if you have trees sow
shady lawn mixture, or clover and
blue grass. If you use stones to
define your walk, please let them
be as nature Intended. Do not

Dear Children: How many OF you
know the value of the much abused
little toad in our gardens?
The toad eats many harmful bugs
and insects. He does not grub up
our plants, nor does he mar the
beauty of our yards. He is given
by nature a garb that makes him
almost invisible.
Now won't you please remember
his usefulness when you feel tempt
ed to torture him, and remember
the motto at the top of our column,
Kindness to All Dumb Things?"

Dear Aunt and Cousins: Many thanks 10

| m going to write a few words ON faults
| this time.
| He who bossts Of being perfect is perfect
| In folly. l never did see perfect horse or
a perfect man, and / never shall till two
| sundays come together. The old saying is,
''Lifeless, faultless." OF dead men we
should say nothing but good; but as for the
living, they are all tarred more or less with
the black brush, and half an eye can see it.
| Every head has a soft place in it, and every
heart has its black drop. Every rose has
| its prickles, and every day its night. Even
the sun shows spots, and the skies are
darkened with clouds. AS there is no sun
SHINE without some shadows, SO is 81
human good mixed with more or less at
evil All mems faults are not written On
their foreheads. and it's quite as well they
are not, or hats would need very wide
brims If we would always recollect dat
we live among men who are imperfect We
should not be in such fever when we find
out our friends failings; what's rotten will
rend, and cracked pots will leak Being all
of us full of faults, we ought 10 keep two
bears, and learn to bear and forbeNr with
one another; siIct we all live in CLASS

and mend in ourselves what we see in them.
Cousins, write to me, and to the one who
guesses my age I'll send my picture. My
age is between ten and fifty. I'd like TO
hear from girls and boys from other states
about the places they live in and the places
of interest near by. I'll answer all the mail
