PREVENTS FROST ON WINDOWS. 



This has been a bad mnter for the 

 storekeeper in more ways than one. And 

 one of the ways has been the frosting 

 of the show windows. Burning gas in 

 the windows to keep off the frost is 

 unsatisfactory. Many storemen run elec- 

 tric fans in the windows and this in a 

 measure keeps down the ice, but it is 

 detrimental to the stock in the window. 

 For this purpose the Pharmaeeutisohe 

 Zeitung recommends the application of 

 a mixture consisting of 55 grams of gly- 

 cerine dissolved in one liter of 62 per 

 cent alcohol, containing, to improve the 

 odor, some oil of amber. As soon as 

 the mixture clarifies, it is rubbed over 

 the inner surface of the glass. This 

 treatment, it is claimed, not only pre- 

 vents the formation of frost, but also 

 stops sweating. 



THE USRS OF SOOT. 



Market gardeners around London have- 

 the greatest faith in the usefulness of 

 soot. Not only does it act as a rich 

 stimulant and manure to recuperate the 

 much-worked, and severely tasked soil, 

 but it is a great purifier of the ground,, 

 sweetening it, ridding it of grubs, and 

 warding off mice. It is not an infre- 

 quent sight to observe these districts 

 almost black from the liberal supplies 

 of soot which they are afforded. A& 

 regards mice, in some gardens they are 

 a very great nuisance ; time and again 

 I have noticed peas on their first day's 

 showing through the earth looking thick, 

 healthy, and all that could be desired, 

 when, perhaps, the very succeeding day 

 reveals an exactly opposite state of af- 

 fairs. One night has done the damage, 

 and, alas! past recall. Had a good 

 sowing of soot (I am inclined to think 

 the thicker the better) been made either 

 together with the peas, or sprinkled te» 

 a full inch on the top of the row, the 

 crop would doubtless have come up in- 

 tact, and been safe, if protected with 

 peaguards till the latter danger of bird 

 attack when the haulm is swelling. 



Mice also attack beans quite under- 

 ground, and an effectual remedy advo- 

 cated by some, though a tiresome pro- 

 cess one would ttink, is to redlead each 

 seed. Soot, however, is efficient, and, 

 indeed, is good for wellnigh all smaller 

 seeds, whether cabbage, onion, or car- 

 rot, sufficing to keep off grubs of every 

 kind. In the case of surface sprinkling, 

 if heavy rains wash the soil clean, n 

 subsequent dose is easily afforded, while 

 the black dressing will have gone into 

 the ground to sweeten and stimulate the 

 staple. Soot, moreover, may be liber- 

 ally shaken upon plants themselves, ad- 

 visedly, of course, when wet, otherwise 

 it fails to stick, thus deterring blight, 

 caterpillars, slugs and snails from creep- 

 ing up and devouring the tender stalk 

 or leaflets. I have sometimes made a 

 ring of soot round a marrow, or other 

 plant, which I knew a snail was visit- 

 ing by night, and found it an effectual 

 barrier to a subsequent visit. Both slugs 

 and snails are "death" on young cauli- 

 flower, melon, lettuce, and cucumber; 

 while they are by no means averse to- 

 zinnias, dahlias, and the annunciation 

 lily, stripping the latter two, indeed, 

 mercilessly, and often killing them out- 

 right by entirely eating through the 

 stem. Curiously enough I have never 

 found either of them, or, in fact, any in- 

 sect attack tomatoes, of which I annu- 

 ally grow a large number; presumably 

 they dislike the pungent scent they emit, 

 or their yellow sap. — Gardeners' Maga-

TO REFINISH STORE FLOORS. 



In refiuishing old hardwood floors in 

 stores, if the floor has been tieated with 

 oil or varnish and has bean allowed to 

 become very dirty and rough, V'o old 

 finish should all be removod. With the 

 ii<>c of steel shavings eciTv jjarticle it 

 the old finish can be taken off. The 

 floor may then be finished in every way 

 as a new floor.

 formerly of Coldspring Harbor, N. Y.,
