'White, you've had enough for

The best hardwood floors for
every -day usage are tb ase which
ere either warred or oiled. A floor
that is shelaclred, as a great many
hardwood floors are, does not went.•
well. It shows the marks of boot
nails and is easily scratched. Un-
less it is thoroughly covered with
rugs it is as mucro of a nuisance as
carpeting.
The waxed floor is really the
ideal floor for all rooms, except the
kitchen, where there is so much
hard usage. It will often remain,
under ordinary conditions, very
clean and neat looking for half a
year or more without renewing the
oil.
The proper oil to use is boiled oil,
and it should be rubbed into the
floor until the pores are filled with
it. In time it becomes oxidized, so
that a permanently glossy surface
is produced.

There has been an amendment to
the Statutes with regard to the law
governing noxious weeds, giving
municipal councils power to pass a
bylaw compelling owners or occu-
pantsjto cut weeds on the premises,
but the Statutes of 1904 go further
and allow councils to compel the
destruction of noxious weeds on
the highway next their premises.
Detailed reports received by Mr.
H. B. Cowan, secretary of the On-
tario Fruit Grower's Association,
confirm the pessimistic reports that
have been made respecting the out-
look for early fruit, and also indi-
cate that the more stable crop of
the apple orchards will this year
fall considerably short of the aver-
age. 'Tis so of the northern dis-
tricts, more especially where in
some places orchards of the hardy
winter apple trees were destroyed
by the severe frosts and heavy
snow of the past year. Where the
trees escaped with their lives they
appear to be so robbed of their
vitality that they are not in con-
dition to bear fruit this year. and
the result in so9n.e sections is fail-
ure of the whole crop. Peaches,
pears and plums are away off. Some
experts go so far as to state that
the peach crops of the Province
will not be more than one-tenth of
what it was last year,
