Best Way to Prepare
Floor for New Finish

Given common floor to refinish
under ordinary conditions, scrub
thoroughly with warm water to which
household ammonia has been added,
about one port ammonia to every eight
parts water. Grease spots and stains
may require special scrubbing with a
stronger solution of ammonia water.
Where this falls, washing with alcohol
or benzine should be tried. Paint
spots may be removed by washing with
turpentine and sandpapering. Wash
/ ing powders should never be used.
They are hard to remove completely
and their presence Is harmful to the
varnish which follows. Waxed or oiled
floors do not require such cleaning, but
the wax (f ordinary soft wax or oil
must be thoroughly removed by wash
ing with alcohol or benzine.
Failure to remove all Of this means
failure of the job. A durable varnish
finish Is not possible where wax and oil
remain.
For floors that are badly discolored,
the next step is to bleach them. This
is done by applying solution of oxalic
aclu CrybtdlS ldS OAullC dClu ID pOlSOu-
Gus, care must be exercised in handling
it) and hot water-as many crystals as
the water will dissolve. This solution
is applied with scrubbing brush and
is left on the surface for about "a
hours, then washed off thoroughly with
clear, hot water. In bad cases, re-
peated applications of the bleach are
necessary and the final coat only
should be washed off with hot water.
The next process is to drive all nail
heads below the surface Of the wood
and to fill all nail-head holes with
putty and cracks and crevices with a
good crack and crevice filler. If the
wood is to be stained, the putty and
the crack filler should be colored to the
desired shade by working into them
some Of the stain. After the crack
filler is dry, the wood should be sand
papered or otherwise made perfectly
smooth and clean to receive the finish.

NATIONAL CANE CONFERENCE
STRESSES ROOsEVELT'S AIMS

NEW YORK.-President Roo,e-
velts strong ideas for game protec-
tioa will form the keynote of the
Eleventh National Game Conference
1t the Hotel Waldorf-Astoria, New
York, December 9th and 9th.
The conference, which will be held
under the auspices of the American
Game Protective Association, will
draw to New York members of both
Federal and State Game Commits
sions, Conservationists, officials of the
Federal and State governments and
hundreds of sportsmen and lovers of
the wild from every part of the
United States and Canada. Every
shade of opinion on game conserva-
ton will be represented.
According to officials of the Ameri-
can Game Protective Association, the
conference will stress means to in-
crease the amount of game in the
country, rather than those merely
negative and prohibitive measures,
now covered adequately by legisIa-
ton.
This is in line with Roosevelt's ex-
pressed wish that refugees, breed
ing, feeding and resting grounds
should be established to preserve and
increase the nations game supply.
So important to sportsmen is this
Eleventh National Game Conference
that the railroads of the country have
granted to the members of the
American Game Protective Associa-
bon and their families attending the
conference $50 fare reduction.
This reduction is granted to MEM
bers and their families only, and upon
condition that at least two hundred
and fifty of those attending the con-
ference shall avail themselves of it
between certain definite dates. Com
plete information may be had by
writing to the American Game Pro-
tective Association, Woolworth
Bldg, New York City. The associ-
alton, already numbering thousands
of those interested in the country's
wild life, expects, because of the in
tense interest in this conference and
the fare reductions limited to men,
bers, greatly to increase its member
ship among sportsmen who, while
having the interests of game protec-
ton at heart, have never taken a
definite part in the work of the as
ISOLATION.
According to experts the country is
IN dire need of game refugees, breed
ing, feeding and resting grounds
where game may increase in spite of
the growth in population and the bet
ter transportation facilities for sports

men. One well-known sportsman
thus expressed it: "Too many people

T. R., whose ideas will find express
ion at the conference, was an opl
timist on the future of game in
America. But he was not the sort OF
optimist who sits down, smiles, and
thinks everything is lovely. He knew
constructive measures were necessary
and, as chairman of the Advisory
Committee of the American Game
Protective Association, he strove,
heart and soul, with all his unbounded
enthusiasm, for constructive measures
to increase and protect the country's
game.
"Sportsmen and conservationists Of
America realize that now is a critical
time in the contest for preservation
of wild life, especially waterfowl The
fate of migratory waterfowl is in the
hands of Congress and the conference
will express the will of the nation As
to measures pending before that body
and which are vitality necessary to
an effective permanent policy. 1t will

Almost no farm is without flock
of poultry, but there are many farms
where the producers of eggs do not
receive the consideration they deserve,
and as consequence fall far below
the productivity of which they are ca
pable.
Here is laying and breeding house
for farm flock which numbers about
76 hens. And the building Is very
economical, considering the first cost.
The size Is u feet by q feet, which
will allow four square feet for each
hen when 1t is used for the flock of
75. The building is of frame con-
struction on a concrete foundation,
and 1t has floor of concrete. The
sloping roof gives the south face
height sufncient to accommodate WIN
dows and doors which furnish light
and ventilation. At the back are the
nests and the roosts.

to make it shed water readily and the
tight construction insures warmth in
