\ /Household /V Hints By the Lady with the Duster. No. I—To Remove Stains from Furniture. Stains in furniture can easily be removed by means of a little oxalic acid in water. This shouM be applied to ■ the stain with a cork and the surface rubbed until the stain vanishes. After this be sure to wash the surface thoroughly with clean water, so as to leave no trace of the acid behind. A thorough polishing with "Poliflor" when the article is quite dry will make it look like new. Always use "Poliflor" for furniture, floors, and linoleum, as it is most economical, gives a brilliant polish, and preserves the article on which it is used.

H ■5jH Our Seedless Kikuyu Grass is splendid for fattening H Cattle. Will stand any drought or heat Does well on poor or H good soil. Sheep thrive on it. For reclaiming sand dunes or v a»j drought-stricken country it is ideal, and worth more than its v 31 weight in gold. Planted 6ft apart, it soon covers the space [j jg] between, conserves the moisture, and binds the {.round. No " "Tn seed for birds to carry. H 3H Nature of Growth. H Kikuyn grass is a perennial, and spreads rapidly over the H jL| ' ground by means of running steins or stolons, -which carry a v j-ai large quantity of leafy material thus providing a very bulky 2 aH mass of fodder. The grass grows very rapidly, and the stolons H H send out roots from every node or joint, thus anchoring the " TfH plant firmly in the ground, and at the same time forming a H dense turf, which will stand the tramping of heavy stock well. H &j This turf-forming habit is one of the most important factors M to be considered when selecting grasses for permanent pasture. v jaH Tussocky grasses do not cover the ground well, leaving bare H j»] patches which later on become smothered with weeds. If not [j Tin allowed to seed pjriodically, tussocky grasses become tramped H $. and eaten out more rapidly than turf formers. H In one of the coldest portions of the State the grass was K{ cut back by frost, but it lived through the winter and came v j-jT. away well the following spring. y 2[j As regards drought resistance, tjje Department of Agricul- H v* tare in South Africa states that "for drought resistance kikuyu Jj grass is great, and has no rival. When the surrounding veldt H -"ijH is dry and withered, the kikuyu remains green, giving one the H A 4 impression of an irrigated field of forage. All kinds of stock H Aj are extremely fond of ft, and prefer it to other grasses. The v J[] food value is high and superior to our other grasses." v 22 M r. Edward McGrath, Ocean View, Pambula: "The roots |_ wi were planted in August, 1920, on rich black soil; the grass H made good growth, and in February, 1921, the plants had spread H eight feet from the centre, and were three feet seven inches high. H ji_) A few roots were planted in poor soil, and made fairly good T\ growth, the plants being five feet four inches in length from v Si the centre, and about one foot eight; inches high. This is the J] W* best grass I have ever seen, and the hot, dry weather never " affected it. I would like to plant 10 acres of it, if I could H ■**&. obtain the material with which to do so." H jg-j When to Plant. y, |l Planting in the coastal districts may be carried out in .the jP. early autumn, or in the spring and summer months—for pre- , j*] ference the spring. In districts where severe frosts and cold J! wi conditions are experienced, spring and early summer plantings $.' are recommended. H &-1 A limited number of plants for present planting.
