Sweeping compounds are largely
made up of sawdust and silicious ma
terial, together with some binding me
dium as rosin, . tar or some of , the
crude oils in the market. The idea is
to impregnate the sawdust with some
cheap mineral i oils that oxidiie but
little and keep moist for a long time.
Aqueous oils are also considerably
used, as they mix readily with water,.
If , too little fluid or oil i used the
sawdust will not be given Its highest
absorbent efficiency, and if too much is
used oil , or flat) stains are likely to
show ori the swept surface.
The following formula gives the in-
gradients' and processes' necessary for
making a sweeping '.compound: " Melt
2 ounces of paraffin wax in 2 quarts
of paraffin oil over a water bath.;, aid
6 ounces of coarse salt, 5 pounds of

TWELVE THINGS TO DO
DURING PRESENT MONTH
The Progressive Farmer suggests,
the following twelve things to do dur
ing the month of September: '
1. Plant a big turnip patch if you
have not already done ao.
2. Avoid loss by keeping the cotton
picked as fast as it opens.
3. Select your cotton seed tor next
year's planting from the test stalks,
and then have them ginned separately.
4. Select your seed corn in the field,
and then, carefully store to prevent
loss.
5. Start planting oats, especially in
the northern half of the Cotton Belt.
6. Iry a patch of Abrnwi rye for
early fall and winter grazing.
Be sare to plant crimson cover on
all cotton lands that are to go in corn
next year.
8. Try some bur clover on your Ber
muda pasture; it will give you valu
able winter and spring grazing. '
9. Save an abundance of seed peaa-
for next year. ' '
10. Start the children to school and?
visit the Bchool yourself.' '
11. Don't rush your cotton on a de-.
pressed 'market; arrange to hold all:
you can for better nricea.' 1 '
