over again, the need to get away from
it while -one must stay right there—
that is what the woman in. the kitchen
feels Who is always doing, doing with
nothing to show foetit, as women have
often said to me—or as others have
wailed: "Speeding half a day getting
up a dinner that disappears in half an
hour!"
"I have a neighbor in the country
who comes to tne for house cleaning
and other work by the da -y. Her hus-
band works on a large estate. He is
up at four o'clock every day except
Sundays; at half past then. He makes
the kitchen Ere and goes to the stables.
• She gets up as he goes out about astir -
twenty. Their breakfast is on the
table at five sharp. But before that
she had "recided up'. and etartecl either
a washing or a cake baldng, which she
finishes by eight. At nine, whett she
arrives at my house'she has already
a day's work behind her, but she puts:,
in eight -hours of the hardest kind of
cleaning forene, and frisks away home
to get her husband's supper, set " a
batch of bread and iron a boarder's
washing that has to go back the first
thing in the morning.
" Her day never ends before eight

in summer. The only thing that saves
her, she tells Me, is keeping a comfert-
able cashigned chair in the kitchen
and "flopping down every SO often and
forgetting it."
• MUSIC BRIGHTENS HER TASKS.
This woman has only a common -
school education and cares little for
books—but flowets! aler kitchen win-
dow box and plants are so perfect they
are almost too perfect; ttey look made
up. Flowers, aines, 'hanging basket's,
a cat and a dogerrit is through these
that she gets away ,While she -stays
right there. '
Another acquaintance does a large
part of her kitchen work and .41 the
family ironing to the accompaniment
of music. She placedther phonograph
in the dining room beside the kitchen
door, where it takes eely a few sec-
onds to slip on and start' a record. Her
spare pennies go for records, and
neighbors who knew of her craving
lend her theirs, but only their best.
She has long since outgrown jazz.
She 'is now. spreading out into col-
lateral reading on the great musit
clans, singers, and coMposers,-getting
books from the library and taking any -
%thing' in the magazines she can lay
hold of. IVInsitc is her way out into
brighter- i"eahris, but . before . she
brought it down into her kitchen life
she wee developing •a bad case of

It So happened that somebody sent

Housecleaning theTurnace.
"In the homes where separate heat-
ing stoves are used during the winter,
'the housewife just aches until she can
take them down in the springs The
cleaning of the living -room must be
delayed until the stove is out of the
way. Then if we get real anxious and
take it down a little too early, there is
sure to be a cold Sunday with a house -
4111 of company. Tit. Sunday when
everyone huddles about the kitchen
range while dinner is betng prepared.
Of course, we do our best to keep
our sweet 'temper, but all the time we
are wishing that we had not been quite
so anxious to start the heating stove
on its summer vacation. We couldn't
even put it ap for the day, for it has
beencompletely gone over with heavy
oil to prevent it rusting during its
idleness. ,
We remembegeonettimesbaclein-oe '
e-ariYrhtotfaekaea'' ping day e when, because
of lack of other oil, we rubbed the
heating. stove before storing it, with
some rancid meat fryings. Needless
to say, our stove was ',early ruined
because of the salt in the grease. Ever
since we have remembered that salt
and rust are on the best of friendly
terms.
We used to think the storing and
eleanhig of the stove was e real task,
but since having our furnace installed
we have found it no easy job to pre-
pare a furnace -for its summer idle-
ness. -
Last spring I accused our furnace,
like many other hot air furnaces, of
being dirty, but after finishing the
• cleaning process I decided the trouble
was, in part, my own. - Upon examin-
ing the register and pipes below, I
found a number of places where ihe
dirt was playing hide-and-go:seek.
In some places the dirt was almost
"felted" together and came out in
great strips. A long-hendied brush
helped in getting it alt It was neces-
sary to -even take down some of the
pipes to remove it satisfactorily. A
vacuum cleaner would be excellent for
this job, but my home is riot yet bless-
ed with this. convepience. • "
The cold 'air intake pipes were clean-
ed, too, and then closed tightly to keep
out surnmerts dust and dirt. Of course,
I did not do this job- alone: Friend
Husband was there and the job was
not altogether a silent one. It has
.been my experience that with diseard-
iag the stove the task of cleaning the
farm heating plant is not lessened, but
in view of the added convenience and
comfort hi whiter, we do not complain.

Manure and Fertilizer. farmers WOU1

Department of Agriculture at Ottawa,

experiments at the Central Experi-
meetal Farm to test the value of man-
urehand commercial fertilizers. An
application, he says, of fifteen tons of
manure iri a rotation of mangers, oats,
clo-ver hay and timothy hay has given,
ever a similar unmanursd. rotation, an
average increased crop worth at pre-
sent prices $3.67 for each ton of man-

more than the cost of the fertilizers
'applied to the land. The experiment
has ehown that farm manure is of the
greatest' value, but that as Mr. Hop-
kins says, where it is, insufficient cern-
mercial fertilizers intelligently applied
twill also give profitable returns. Next
to farm manure alone a combination
with fertilizers proved almost equally
productive in yield,ealthough not quite
so profitable. It, however; was made
apparent that the oat erop does not
yieldremuneratively to either manure
or .ceminercial fertilizers, and that,
therefore, the materials should be ap-
plied to either the root or hay crops.
On the unmanured land the hay crops
alone produced a profit. The lesson
particalarly derived is that manure
being so valuable the greatest . care
should be taken in storing it and -In

fertilizers have given good retuens,

Annuals.
Both for garden decoration and for
cutting for the house certain annuals
are indispensable. These mey include
the asters, stocks, derides, cornflowers
and coreopsis. Gypsophila and phlox
Drummondii are equally desirable, but
no list is complete without sweet peas.
There are well-known flowers not
strictly annuals that naight well be in-
cluded hete, viz., antirrhinums, or
snapdragons, aquilegias and wall-
flowers, all el which are best grown
from seed. Certain annuals, once
they are introduced into a garden,
never fail to put in an appearance
each year. These include pot maxi -
gelds and candytuft. One of the
'charms of flower gardening is that it
grows upon, but the beginner must be
cautioned about the over -anxiety to
get the seeds into the ground. early.
Annuals are often sown too soon in
the open, and the result is premature
blooming and a poor display.
Whatever the weather may be does
not interfere with the sowing of seeds
under glass. They, can be sown in
pots, pans or boxes; a very convenient
size box is 14 inches long, 9 inches
wide and 8 inches deep. The box
must be well-draited with gravel and
rough leaf -soil. A suitable compost
for sowing consiets of two parts of
loamy soil and one of. leaf -mould,
with one part of. coarse sand. Pass
this through a fine mesh sieve for put-
ting the coarser material in the bot -
ton of the box for drainage.. Fill the
box lightly with sit, then press down
moderately firm with a fiat board.
With many seed§ it is a great advan-
tage to sow under glass, afterwards
pricking off the ,seedlings and teens -
planting outside.' Antirrhinutre are
best grown this way. The tall var-
ieties are very beautiful for mixed
borders, but for general bedding pur,
poses the intermediate section is the
more striking and at the same time
the flowers ars o2 great value for cut-
ting. Larkspurs are among the most
popular of all blue flowers. They are
•perfectly hardy, and the fine spikes of
bloom are most graceful for room
decoration, while 'very delightful el-,
facts can be obtained by putting thlso
