First, choose varieties that are uaturally early flowering. In. this general class use only •those specially noted and usually indi- cated as best for indoor purposes. This is .important as the vast majority are best suited to garden decoration and mediocre for grow- ing in the house or for "forcing." This means, in the case of tulips, such noted varieties as Brilliant Star, be Wet, Rising Sun, Murillo, Peach Blossom, White Sail, Kre- lage's Triumph, Van der Eerden, Golden Harvest, Wm. Pitt and the Copland varieties; for hyacinths, L'Innocence, Bismark, Pink Pearl, Jan Bos, and, in the case of daffodils, the popular King Alfred. Second, select, if possible, bulbs that have grown in an "early flowering climate." tl`his imparts early natural maturity and the early flowering characteristics so desirable in outof-season culture. Bulbs grown in British Columbia are among the earliest maturing in the world, Third, select top grade bulbs in perfect condition and uniform in size. This generally means King Alfreds and hyacinths at least 21/,i inches in diameter (11 inches for tulips). Fourth, to improve flowering qualities and .shorten the time required to flower by as much as two weeks, chill the bulbs by storing them dry for one month at a tempera- ture of 48 degrees Fahrenheit. This should be done as soon as the bulbs are purchased, preferab- ly mid-August. However, a marked measure of improvement in forcing .

The machine was manufactured at Stratford by the Macdonald Thresher Co., and has. been inuse until about 20.years ago. quality can be achieved by chilling for a month by starting in the first half of September. The house- hold refrigerator will serve for the chilling treatment providing fluctu- ations are not more than a degree or two from the required level. Fifth, after thirty days chilling, pot the bulbs in a friable mixture of about equal parts loam, sand and old compost or peat. Ar;d no fertilizer. Sixth, water thorough- ly and store in a dark basement where the temperature should re- main at 48 degrees F. This tem- perature is most satisfactory for_ root development. Fluctuations in temperature and tendency for the soil to dry ' during the essential rooting period are undesirable— both reflect in the final results. By the 10th to the middle of De- cember the pots should be full of roots which is a sign that then and not until then the pots may be shifted to the coolest part of the living room. In. about a week, warmer conditions are desirable but the temperature should not rise above 68 degrees F. before the buds are well colored.

Sleep is also the only time when the mind is at rest for, the minute we. awake, whether we remain resting or not, our minds are immediately plunged into ac- tivity. Almost everyone needs eight hours sleep a day to remain happy and healthy. Remember, sleep combats -fatigue and is essen- tial ssential to good health. Take all you need: Droplet. Infections Infections such as colds, coughs and influenza as well as some 'fev- ers fevers are spread by droplet infection —that is to say by the minute part- icles coughed or sneezed into the air which your neighbor breathes. It is, therefore, a matter not only of courtesy but a matter of hygiene to -use p, 'handkerchief to prevent the spread of infection — particu- larly in crowded rooms, busses or trains.
