Mrs. Bright: “Oh, Anty Drudge! 
Just come and see the check for 
$10.00 I got as a prize from our 
Farm Paper. They offered a 
prize for the best article on ‘How 
to Make Plousework Easy/ and I 
wrote about washing and doing 
all your work with Fels-Naptha 
Soap and cool or lukewarm 
water, and I got the prize.” 
Anty Drudge: “Dearie, I am 
proud of you. I hope your arti¬ 
cle will help lots of tired out 
women, too. It’s worth more 
than $10.00 for women to know 
about Fels-Naptha Soap!” 
Fel s-Naptha 
Soap dissolves 
grease and makes 
dirt disappear. It 
\ washes clothes 
clean, sweet and 
white with no hard 
rubbing or boiling, 
in cool or luke¬ 
warm water and in 
half the time it 
used to take. 
Fel s-N aptha 
makes work easy 
and women well.

Better buy it by the box or carton.

FALL AND WINTER CARE OF PANSIES. 
Those who have planned pansy beds for 
next Spring, either to sell the plants or 
beautify the home place, have now set 
the plants in their Winter quarters, or 
are doing so. If your plants have been 
well grown and seed was sown in July, 
they will bloom this month or early in 
November. Later plants will make 
quicker growth under the warmth of a 
Spring sun. This year I have made the 
beds rich with well rotted manure and 
raked them fine and level. They are 
just wide enough to take 11 plants across, 
four inches apart. This makes a con¬ 
venient width to work from each side. 
The beds can be any length but the 
plants this way should be six inches 
apart for convenience with the hand 
weeder. It will pay both in appearance 
and in time saved in caring for the beds 
if your rows are made straight and true 
with string and measure. 
Before taking from the seed bed the 
plants should be watered thoroughly sev¬ 
eral hours before, and the Winter bed 
should be moist but not wet. One of the 
secrets of moving these plants and get¬ 
ting them into quick growth is to main¬ 
tain a large quantity of moisture 
around the roots, and do it, too, without j 
having the dirt muddy or soggy, or the 
surface of the ground wet and hard. To 
accomplish this, the most successful way i 
I know, and one which has worked 
splendidly with many kinds of small 
plants, is to cover with a small flower¬ 
pot each plant soon after it is set. When 
the bed is complete and the pots have 
been placed, water heavily over the pots 
with hose or sprinkler. Do not remove 
the pots until the following evening. Not 
a healthy plant will have wilted, rootlets 
will already have started in the new lo¬ 
cation, the surface around the plants will 
be just right and no dirt washed into the 
crowns, which is a thing to be very care¬ 
fully avoided with pansies. By this 
method I have set very small flower and 
vegetable plants in the field right in the 
middle of some of our hottest Summer 
days with just as good results as on a 
cool, cloudy evening, but in the heat of 
Summer I generally leave the flower pots 
on a full 4S hours. They not only pro¬ 
tect the plant from the sun, but moisture 
is conserved as it evaporates. 
After a heavy rain you should go over 
the bed with the hand weeder and loosen 
up the surface, being careful to keep the 
dirt out of the crowns. This fixes the 
weeds too. When the ground has frozen 
hard—not before—throw over your beds 
an inch or two of coarse straw and over 
this light limbs or wire netting to hold 
the straw in place. Be careful not to 
remove this covering until the last freeze 
of Spring is over. If extra early flowers 
are wanted, the straw can be removed 
some warm day in late Winter and a 
cold frame set over a portion of the bed. 
The sun through the sash will then bring 
them on with a rush. With pansies, re¬ 
member they must have abundant air, 
water and sunshine, important in the 
order named. p. l. w.

Cost Less Than Wood Shingles 
Steel Shingles are so far ahead of common 
wood shingles that there’s simply no compari¬ 
son. They last four times longer than wood 
shingles—are ten fim^s easier to put on—and 
make a roof that will NEVER rot, rust, leak or 
catch fire. An Edwards Roof gives wonderful

Steel shingles come in sheets of 100 or more—as 
easy to lay as a carpet—on sheathing or over old 
shingles.

Barcelona Filberts. 
I wish to obtain some Barcelona or 
other good filberts and so far have not 
been able to find any. mrs. a. s. b. 
Tillamook, Ore. 
The filberts succeed well in the coast 
country of Oregon and Washington, as I 
know by having seen the bushes there in 
very healthy condition and bearing well, 
and I am sure they would be all right 
to grow at Tillamook, although I have 
not been at that particular place. There 
are a few of the nurseries in that region 
propagating and selling the plants, and 
by writing to several of them the right 
ones will be found. There is a grower 
at A anconver, Washington, who has many 
of the bushes and of the best varieties 
known and if a letter is addressed to the 
postmaster there with the request that 
it be given to the man who is in the 
nut business there it will bring a re¬ 
sponse, I am sure. The nursery at Or- 
ouco, Oregon, may have the trees to sell.
