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 1 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 until' the season ends with , astors, goldenrod; -.end ,•autumrialeaves..2v • Instead of using- cotton and linen tablecloths '�n the Verandah table at mealtime, I have a white oilcloth•aoV- ering—one of the inexpensive decor- ated kind with a painted bine and orange border: This is cleansed by being wiped with a damp cloth.

And this living en ver- andahs saves' me considerable work in cleaning, because lese dirt la tracked I try to soeve meals that can ,b carried to the verandah easily, since I cook in the Ititelien. Casserole dishes are fine for serving at verandah meals. Frequently they contain both nacat and vegetables, the hearty ,'portionof the dinner, arid they can be carried out in one dish. My tea wagon is a (tTeat convenience m serving, for on it the dishes a 'd food used Ise carried to the verandah and back' to the' kit- chen in one or two trips. On hot, still dap'when canning vegetables or fruit, Ihave moved' the Iteroeene etoire onethe verandaheso all the work could be done there; but, as a rule, there are too many beeeees to make' this satisfactory. Other doties that I have found can be attended to on the back verandah are these! Iron- ing, kneading the bread, churning, making fruit and vegetables ready for canning, shelling peas, stringing beans,'paring potatoes and other vege- tables and fruits, stemming berries and raisins, mending, sewing, and •darning. Then there is the, front verandah— rny summer -living room. It has not been screened yet because the tiles arid mosquitoesdo not bother us there. On it is a comfortable perch swing, a mighty commendable •outgrewth of the barrel -stave hammock that was neither comfortable to lie_in nor attractive to the eye, a few comfort- able chairs, Ind a small table. These and the floor are painted a dull gray. The cushions are of gayly* colored red and white and black figured cre- tonne, the table coVering is of black oilcloth bound with scarlet bias tape, and the' long cushion -like pad on the wall sea,t` is of black oilcloth which is net injured by rain. This bench seat is in reality a box. It has a lid that Opens. In it I place the cretOnne- covered cushions, the magazines, and other verandah furnishings 'which would not withstand the rain at night. A bouquet of flOwers in the common , earthenware pickle jar of a small size 1- sits on the table. I painted this green to match the porch Ilex in Whia flow- { ers and ferns grow. Awnings may be used to protect the verandah from the sun, bet I Prefer to use vines for this purpose. I. like climbing - roses and honeysnckles, ' clernatis,, woodbine, the ornamental gourd, or any other of the vines fes- tooned along wire netting about :two feet wide. On the sleeping porch, of course, canvas curtainsare essen- tial to keep out the rain and dust. ,If you decide -to trY out your ver- andahs as reorns'egive them a fair trial. That means, give them furnfture of their own, and 'colorful, downy cush- • ions that fit into the hollows that even the best regulated chairs have. -If you 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 from the feathers and scurf of the iage.

The 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 about fouleounces of lime to neutralize the effect of free arsenic on the fol - the sideof their bodies. .Almost any insect powder or dust will kill them. Hens will dust, themselves, if a dust box is provided in one corner of the poultry house.

The handling of clean, cultivated orcharde calls for careful, frequent working and in practically all ahses a system of cover -cropping or green manurbeg would be of benefit. The land should be worked up in the spring as soon as its condition permits and hereaft,er .cultiVation needs to be fre- quent enough to 'maintain a dost mulch or loose layer of soil on top of the ground and only deep enough to form this rriulch.

However, it is desirable to' call attention to a condition arising 'from clean cultiva- tion which has'seriously injured some orchards in British Columbia and Oregon -while there is good reason to believe that numbers -of orchards in Ontario are likewiee suffering, , The condition referred to ie the burning out of the humus or decaying plant material from the soil by constant cultiva l' en WiillOUt in. any eway e placing it. The mechanical form cf the soil suffers it bakes easily, is uareten- tive of plant food or water and finally becomes dead, or burned out, Orchards under such conditions have y,ellow, un- bealthy foliage and make little ex no growth, even with the best of culti- vation. - F,orrnerly barnyard manure ,was easily and cheaply 'kid so there was not much trouble rectifying, the lack of humus.

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 - "I like to visit her," langhed one LION ROBERTS. 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 laid aside when alone with the mother who has done lot og 1001215.

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.
