Fan cleaning is JUST arotrrm corner with busy days ahead both indoors and out. Outdoor yards and gardens must be cleaned and raked, dead plants burned and fallen leaves gathered for the compost pit. Houses must be gone over for repairs and screens and porch furniture put away in good order. All tools and equipment should be stored so as to keep them in good condition. When you are cleaning house be very critical of the arrangement of the furniture when you return it to the living room because mere re arrangement, may,make for pleas anter living. Every piece should have a definite reason for its plac ing. Easy chairs with foot-rests in vite one to sit before the-fire and make a delightful grouping in front of the fireplace. A comfortable chair near a window is an attrac tive spot to knit or read in the day time with a lamp on an elbow ta ble by the chair-arm for light after dark. Chairs grouped with small ta bles suggest relaxed and pleasant hours of conversation for family and friends. A desk can be placed at *a right angle to a window in order to insure good light for cor respondence. Obviously the size and shape of your room will determine many points in the grouping of fur niture but thoughtful arrangement can make any living room inter esting and inviting. As far as possible furniture should be scaled to the size of a room. Heavy furniture in a small room makes the room seem even smaller while too many small chairs and tables in a large room create a cluttered effect. If you are fortunate enough to have an asparagus bed, don’t neglect to give it a heavy top dress ing of some stimulant that will in sure thick tender stalks next spring. As soon as growth is over for the season, the chances of success in transplanting trees and ferns from the woods are the very best. Be sure that you can supply the right natural growing conditions before you take up any plants. You can plant bulbs for early spring flowering until the ground freezes but it’s a good idea to get the bulbs in the ground just as soon as you receive them. Prepare the soil well in advance of the planting, digging it deep, working it up finely and enriching well with bone meal and wood ashes. Plant daffodils 4 to 6 ihches deep and 8 or 10 inches apart. Tulips are planted 5 to 6 inches deep and 9 to 12 inches apart. Our American bulbs are most satisfactory so don’t hesitate to use them. Sow some flower seeds in your bulb beds and borders if you have bare spaces. Forget-me-nots, vi olas and pansies like cool weather and will blossom with daffodils and tulips if sown in the fall. “My father recommended Re tonga to me and I feel so much better now that I can never thank him or this grand, medicine e- nough,” happily declares Mrs. H.
