By Nell B. Nictiols
My drearealieuee had a areplaee,
maay hocks, and, most ireportent of
all, o verandah for every ,occaeion.
ernergeol from my dreams' with three
ordinary verandahs—whieh isn'tso
bad --a fireplace, arid eneugh reading
material so that I can aefresh noy
mind with a story or two every day,
And because I se theroughly enjoy liv-
ing On inY verandahs in the summer,
I'M going' to tell you about these little
rooms. In the beginning they were
three smallstructures, none of them
being glass-encloaed or the least bit
Unusual,
My back verandah is` my mnamer
workshop. The first improvement I
inade in it was to apply SOITIO paint. I
tackled the floor first, giving it a
couple of coats of paint in a battle-
ship -gray color, the kind which does
not show dirt and dust easily. Then,
with a little assistance, it awes
With wire Sereeoirtg? Oh, no; not
yet. I had to ponvince skeptical men-
folks that this verandah, which had
served as an appendage to the house
on; which the milk pans and eansa
brooms and mops, overshoes and boots
had been stared, could be converted
into a useful room. I had' te prove
that the dust would, not blow in by
the bucketfuls every day of the week.
The ,first year inexpensiVe , mosquito,
netting was need to,keep out the flies

and mosquitoes, Mit wire • screening
Was added the next year.
With this verandah, like any other
roma, one f the first problenia was to
find furnitore' for it. Drawing regi-
ments of rockcas out on the verandah
to sway in a few hours, and than drag-
ging them back in the house again,
Dever did appeal to me, It is such a
waste of energy. Moreover, if -a • ver-
andah is worth having it is worth
furnishing, even though caat-offs from
the house are used.
The furniture for my verandah
workshop consists of an old hilt strong
dining -room table • painted green,
kitchen chairs, a small table yo be used:
as a buffet or serving table, and Etbig,i
comfy rocking chair painted to match.
If your handy -man happens to have al
little•spare thne, perhaps you can cOax
him to build you a table and benches
which you can paint. Or if you prefer
to buy verandah furniture—and I
envy you if you can do so—there are
some charming sets in the shops thesel
days. ,
If the verandah is to be enjoyed,. it,
natiSI, be equipped 'with furnishings'
about which one need not worry when
there 'is rain or a heavy dew. The blue,
and white checked gingham cushions'
in my rocking chair launder beau-
tifully, and for added protection from:
rain the 'feather titling is covered
with waterproof sheeting. There are
two srnall/inoleurn rugs on the•floor—
rag Mies would do as well—and a(
small gray pielde jar for flowers.
There • are apple blossoms, lilacs,
daisies, and all the other varieties

Then there is the, front verandah—

mosquitoesdo not bother us there.
On it is a comfortable perch swing,

aren't quite certain at the start how
much you will enjoy the' outdoor
rooms, rnove slowly—that is, buy neva'
equipment gradually or use old. In
.the end I think you will agree with
me that a verandah can be part of the
horne—a vital part—if given a chance.
,POULTRY
It seems' to be the general Opinion
that mites and lice (probably the
worst enemies of poultry) are one and
the same thing. Such, however, is not
the caee. Mites are entirely 'different
in habits and modes of living, and
mast be destroyed by 'different meth-
ods.' Both lice and mites reduce the
vitality of the fowl to such an extent
that it easilY succumbs to disease.
The louse is a very Small insect of
a creamy color, has six legs and, con-
trary to opinion, can 'not suck blood.
It lives on the body of the fowl, feed -
on the filth, dried blood scales

longer the spraying is delayed the
greater the loss will be., If cheap help
can be obtained, it is advisable to
spray the vines when they are quite
small, or to pick off the old beetles
before they have deposited their eggs.
To wait until the foliage is partly
eaten is too late. By the time the poi-
son takes effect the vines are badly
injured and the future crop is much
lessened. Paris green should be ap-
plied in the proportion of eight ounces
or more to forty gallons of water, with

Cultivation and Cover Crops

The handling of clean, cultivated

working and in practically all ahses
a system of cover -cropping or green

land should be worked up in the spring
as soon as its condition permits and

"The Child's First School Is the Famity"--Preebel.
Children Need a Lot of Loving.
BY MiS, LYDIA.
"Why don't you go to bea: with
me?" objected the nine-year:old boy,
"you go up with Kenneth every
night."
"But he is younger and goes to bed
earlier," the mother explained, "You
are a big boy now."
"That doesn't make any difference,"
urged the oldese boy, I like to be
tucked in just the same."
After that the mother saw to it
that the biggest boy got a bedtime
hug and a few minute's quiet lalk
with her, and was inure particular to
show him affection.,
From the little toddler to the over-
grown, awkward school child, most
children are hungry for affection. Our
children know that we 'love them, but
they like to' hear us say so. They
, ,
know we think more of them than any
thing else in the world, but they want
us to show it, Few children want a
sentimental gushing sort of love; hut
they need and appreciate constant,
unobtrusive evidences of our affection.
Love can often cure an irritable
temper, and soothe delicate nerves.
One mother had this experience, and
said "When my little girl's face geew
flushed add her voice rose high and
sharp, I stopped my work, put my aria
around her and talked in a lowetendee
tone about her games and dolls, I
could feel the little form relax and see
the tense vivid face grow celm and
happy as she felt my love flowine ewe

friend to another, as she entered the
cheery home, "because someone is al-
ways loving someone else."
We are so busy and try so hard to
be efficient and successful that some-
times we forget that --
"Folks need a lot 'of loving. every
nsinute
The sympathy of others and their
smile!
-Till life's end from the moment they
begin it;'
Folks need a lot of loving all the
while." •
A rosy-cheeked, curly-haired little
girl came dancing into the rotnn where
her mother was working and throw-
ing her arras around her mother said,
"Oh, rnuvver, 3 love you so much I
don't know what to do!" ,
The mother returned the caresses
'and smiled, "That is just the way I
feel about you too, dear. What happy
times we shall always have together!"
The mother was laying a foundation
for the confidences and trust of future
years when she would wish to keep
,ever near her daughter's heart and
guide her life.
Children grow up so quickly, plump
little legs run away in long trousers,
little pink feet fit happily into wed-
ding slippers, and then we wish we
had taken more time for just loving.
As they grow older a reserve collies
to children al their armor against the
carelees world, but thie will gladly he

'Manuring for 'GrairrCropp,,
Experiments have been carried on
at the Scott, Saskatchewan Experi-
mental Station, to determine the value
of manure applied to grain crops. A
comparison, .• extending over seven `
Years, has been made between rotted
and fresh manure on whedt, oats and
barley, applied at various times and
under different conditione. The high-
est average yield was obtained when
rotted manure was, applied in ehe
spring before plowing. The yield was
practically .2q „bushels to the acre,

• Samples Sell My Apples.
Instead of selling" what apples we
can and giving away the rest, we give
away what we ,can and sell all the
rest.
• Tvvelve.years ago, When our farm
apple orchard began bearing fruit4 we
started to carry a saninle case aleng
with us on our market trips. We gave
with each apple a printed card telling
our name, address, farm name, where
we hired, and that we sold good 'apples
and wanted to hit the apple appetite
of hungry humans.
It worked Inc and still evorks. Last
year we sold all our apples almost be-
fore we knew where they went.
We started our 'sample plan on a
small scale, with it market basket
under the seat of our inotor car, Froni
this basket we passed out 'tee every
hungry looker a fine eating apple, and
gave him our card. Now when we go
to market we take a bushel bdsket of
good eaters along with no. They are
fair samples of the ones we have in
the c,ratcs for sale—a bit overripe for
marketing, but in fine shape for
eating. • a
• Last autumn when we had finished
a day's marketing in our city of ,
twenty thonsand souls, we slid our
motor car into a handy parking place;
along Main Street„ and at every ask- '
ant look passed, out a red apple, and
our' card. Thismelemonstration only
took about twenty-five minutes, but
brought results. While we were busy{
next morning about the farmyard a
city truck came. whirling into our;
driveway, carying a business man who
had been handed 1 handsome red,
Wealthy apple theeday befoie..He epee:
orated a fruit store in connection with {
his game parlors, and had something
like three hundred young men visitors
daily to his establishment. He figured
he could retail our nice red apples at
five cents each all fall, if he could get {
them. He got thern all right, for he •
offered almost twice the regular mar-
ket price for them. He took a -few
crates of Wealthy along back with
him, picked fre8h from the trees.
When we happened in later in the
week to see him, he was sold out. He
bought other varieties too.
We had Spies Kings, Macintosh,
Reds, big red Spies,
Geeenings,
and Winter Pippins, thinned so they
were. very large and fine. We picked
these carefully, stored them in the
dry,' wrapped each in a paper, and
packeelthem in open cratee in our cool
back porch to ripen.
One day we passed a Sample to a
'clepertment store manager in the city.
He bought a bushel of Choice ones at
$3, boxed them up, and, sent theta to
an 'old apple -hungry friend of his out
West. Then he had us bring him ten
bushels to store for winter in his city
collar. He told us they were finer
flavored than the apples he sold from
when if() Manure was applied. ,
The disadvantage of aPplying fresh,
manure during the winter on fall .4
plowing was that tho volunteer growth ,
from the graite and weed seeds not'
only ',ebbed the ,crep of nourishment,
and moisture; but fouled the land. The
Superintendent of the Scott Station,;
in his repoet for 1922, makes ,the ob-
servation that if it i$ desired to ob-
tain clean seed, or if registered seeda•
is being growei, nothing but well rota:
tcd natmure should be used. While;
there is considerable loss in the value.'
of the Irian -are in the process of fere.
mentatidm, the destruction of „viable ,
weed seeds is necessary when gienehigi
clean crops..
As compered with plowing undergreen mops, rotted maniere gays -bet-'
ter results. the Scott Station it
has been Touted that any:green crop:
geown on innuner fallow tends to de-
crease the yield. Cultivated summer
fallow, receiving no manure, gave a
higher average yield thaa any of the;'
plot'gi where a green ceop was plowed'
under. The rotted barnyard manure.
produced an increased yield 90 4 bush-;
els and 13 pounds, as compared with
the highest yield obtained by the plow-
ing under of any crop under test. The
green crops used in the experiment,
which was conducted fOr eight years,
were peas and vetches plowed under
at different stages of maturity.
