48 hours, and it is all done,

That means 2 days and 2nignts. 
But you can’t do it with “any 
old floor paint.” As sure ps

anything | but Lowe Brothers 
Hard-Drying Floor Paint, you 
will have a mess on your hands. 
Lowe Brothers Floor Paint is 
made in a certain way to make 
it dry quickly, and hard, and 
still stand wear and tear. It 
gives a beautiful glossy sur- 
f ace, that can be wiped up same

It is sold by the one best

New England Notes 
Climbing Roses. —Although the first 
cost may be a little high, I know of no 
plants which give greater satisfaction 
than climbing roses, especially now that 
many new and remarkably fine varieties 
have been introduced. Unfortunately, the 
only climbing rose with which many peo¬ 
ple seem to ho at all familiar is the old- 
fashioned Crimson Rambler, which, while 
it makes a gorgeous display for a short 
time, has many serious faults, and is not 
to be recommended any longer. If you 
want a brilliant rose of that type, there 
is nothing to equal Paul’s Scarlet Climber, 
a new rose comparatively, but one which 
is meeting with the greatest favor every¬ 
where. It is hardy, strong growing, and 
has large flowers of the most gorgeous 
hue. Another and better known rose 
which is being used to a very large extent 
as a substitute for the Crimson Rambler 
is Exeelsa. This is one of the hardiest 
climbers I have ever grown, and is par¬ 
ticularly well adapted for training on 
posts or trellises, putting out many short 
laterals, on which long, huge flower clus¬ 
ters are produced in the greatest abund¬ 
ance. 
Other Fine Varieties. —One of the 
best of the newer roses is Dr. Van Fleet. 
This flowers very early, and is unsur¬ 
passed for beauty. The most popular 
white climber at the present time is Sil¬ 
ver Moon, although I find Purity ji^st as 
attractive, and possibly a trifle hardier. 
These roses have flowers several inches 
across, pure white, but carrying rich 
stamens. Still another new rose well 
worth growing is Wiehmoss, the only 
mossed climber yet produced. While the 
individual flowers are not so handsome 
as on some other roses, the mossed effect 
of the buds is most delightful. This is 
a good rose for cutting, and one which 
I like very much. For a rose to grow on 
a Summer house or against a wall or on 
a porch, I know of nothing that equals 
American Pillar for sheer beauty. The 
blossoms are single and pink with a white 
center. The plant is exceedingly free 
blooming, and there is a luster about the 
flowers which makes them most attrac¬ 
tive. This is one of the climbers which 
every garden maker ought to have. And, 
| of course, the older climbers, like Dorothj 
Perkins and Lady Gay, are not to be over¬ 
looked. There are few better pink va¬ 
rieties with double flowers, and as they 
make rampant growth they are excellent 
for training on a building or over a fence 
or against a big rock or ledge. The rose 
called Tausendschon, or Thousand Beau¬ 
ties. is another pink climber of merit. It 
is the one very largely used for forcing 
in pots at Faster time. The flowers are 
larger than Dorothy Perkins, and are pro¬ 
duced in great quantities, as may he 
judged by the name. 
Protecting Seedlings. —The cucurbi- 
taccous crops seem to bo preyed upon to a 
greater extent than most other kinds, for 
if they survive the attacks of the cut¬ 
worms along come the striped beetle and 
the flea beetle to end their careers, unless 
some sort of protection is given. Cover¬ 
ing with soot, ashes and other substances 
is of some value, but the very best plan 
in the home garden is to use protective 
boxes. They need to be nothing more 
than soap boxes from the stores, with the 
bottom removed and a piece of fly screen¬ 
ing tacked tightly over the top. For sev¬ 
eral years I have been using protectors 
made of prepared paper, which work well. 
They were designed originally as forcing 
boxes, a light of glass being slipped ovc-r 
the top. I sometimes use them in this 
way, and when warm weather comes re¬ 
move the glass, substituting a square of 
wire netting. If the boxes fit tightly to 
the ground all these flying and jumping 
j vests are excluded, so that the plants can 
grow without molestation. Before the 
striped beetle develops if takes the form 
of a grub which works on the roots of^the 
plants, and often does much damage, 'flu- 
best, way to get rid of these worms is to 
make a decoction of Blaekleaf 40 or some 
other nicotine preparation and pour it 
around the plant. When you kill the 
worms you of course prevent the develop¬ 
ment of the beetles, so that this plan is 
doubly effective. E. i. farbington.

GOMBAULT’S 
CAUSTIC BALSAM 
See what one of them says: 
WORTH TEN TIMES 
ITS COST 
In looking over my paper I noticed an 
advertisement of your Gombault’s Caustic 
Balsam which reminded me 1 should write 
to you, it being no more than fair to tell you 
of the remarkable benefits I have obtained 
froni its use. 
About six months ago I had a horse so 
lame with a spavin that he stood on three 
legs in his stall and I could not drive him at 
all: in fact he was entirely useless. A friend 
of mine advised me to try a bottle of Gom- 
hault's Caustic Balsam, which I did; and 
after two thorough applications he was en 
tireiy cured. To-day he is as sound as he ever 
was and since that I have used it for human 
ailments with equally good results. 1 would 
gladly recommend it to anyone needing a 
good liniment. I would not be without it for 
ten times its cost. 
Wishing you much success I am

BUTTERMILK 
for Hogs and Poultry 
Experienced feeders know that there is 
no better feed for growing hogs and poul¬ 
try than buttermilk. A regular supply, 
however, has been difficult or impossible 
to obtain and feeders have had to do with¬ 
out it. A process hae uow been worked out 
for putting this valuable feed on the 
market in a condensed form, called SEMI SOLID 
BUTTERMILK. By simply adding water you get 
rent, genuine buttermilk with all its greut feed 
va'ue. 
Semi-Solid Buttermilk, like fresh buttermilk, is an 
appetizer and tunic, as well as a feed, and 
keeps hogs in prime condition. 
The hogs consume it eagerly and thrive on it. 
It is a wonderful tonic and conditioner as well as 
a most valuable feed. Headers of Rural New- 
Yorker interested in getting rapid growth and 
good, healthy stork should feed SEMI-SOLID 
BUTTERMILK. Write today for further infor¬ 
mation on Semi-Solid Buttermilk and facts about 
Feeding for Profit. Write I. II. Nester & Co.,
