Homes In The West.

At no former time in the history of
the country has there been so deep, so
widespread, and so intelligentan interest
felt IN the matter of migration and
Western settlement as now. The rapid
construction of railroads which pene-
| trate the fertile but hitherto unoccupied
areas of our new Northwestern States
and Territories, thus rendering accessi-
BILE and valuable millions of acres of
land which would otherwise have lain
waste for scores of years, has given a
wonderful impetus to the Westward
tide of population.
A large portion of both foreign and
American migration Will henceforth
naturally and inevitably flow into that
new Northwest, now for the first made
accessible by the building of the North
ern Pacific Railroad. The belt of coun
try trayersed by the route of this thor
oughfare WISCONSIN, Minnesota, Dako-
ia, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and
Oregon) has such characteristics of soil
and climate as to render its speedy
settlement and prosperous cultivation
certain.
The Northern Pacific Company is
now selling its lands in Minnesota, and
the facilities ana helps which it furnish
es to settlers and colonies greatly re-
duce where they do not wholly remove
the hardships'' of pioneer life. For
example transportation at reduced rates
is furnished from nearly all parts of
the country to the line of the n P.
Road, and if a settler buys forty acres
or more of railroad land he and his
whole family are carried free over the
n. P. Road when going to settle
Then at three different points, on the
road large and elegant reception houses
have been built and fitted up with con-
veniences for single persons, families
and colonies. Settlers no matter wheth
er they locate on free Government home
steads or purchase railroads lands. en-
ter these reception houses on leaving
the cars and use them free of charge,
as temporary home while engaged in
selecting land and building dwellings
Of their own.
The company has fixed low prices on
it's lands, gives seven years credit to
purchasers, and receives in payment at
ten per cent. premium its own first
mortgage bonds which are now selling
at par, and which are favorite invest
ment throughout the country.
There are now few localities in the
West where good Government land for
free homestead entry can be found near
to railroads and markets. The North
ern Pacific Road has been so recently
built through Minnesota, that there
are, close to it's line, plenty of public
lands of the finest quality awaiting
homestead settlement; and they are
being rapidly taken. Large numbers
of soldiers who, under the new law of
Congress, obtain free homesteads of
16O acres. near railroads by one and
two years residence are locating on the
line of the Northern Pacific. Soldiers
and all others who think of seeking
homes in the West can obtain full IN
formation, maps, copy OF homestead
laws, ETC., by addressing Land Depart
ment Northern Pacific r. r. Co., ST.

How TO MAKE A CEMENT FOR Stove s.
fake iron filings, and mix to tie consisten-
cy of putty or glazing, with white lead

securely as possible, while the stove is

one cup buttermilk; soda sufficient to
neutralize the acid a little salt and flour;
roll little thinner than lard pie crust; it
will not be 'haky y but light and deli
cious to one who has more regard for
health than mere custom Or fancy.
To DRIVE AWAY Bed BUGs-An ex-
change gives the following as II sure way
to drive bed-bugs from old beds: "Take
green tomato vines, put them in basin or
tray, pound them to pieces as fine as pos

inhabit with the juice, fill the crevices
with pieces of vines, and lay leaves under

spread upon the table Then wash it
through two waters, in which put two or
three spoonfuls of OK gall, which will
brighten the colors and prevent their run
ming. Do not wiring the silk, but hang it
up to dry, and while dry ironit. The lady
who furnishes this recipe says she has
washed a green silk dress by it, and il looks
as good as new.
CLEANSING THE HAIR. The best SUBJ
stance with which to cleanse the hair is a
teaspoonful or two of common spirits of
ammonia In basin of water. The scalp
and hair should be thoroughly washed and
rinsed and wiped dry. A little gIycerine
dissolved in alcohol may then be advan-
tageously applied; ali other oils will
become stale, and are unfit for such use.
BARRIERS commonly use carbonate of potash
In the water they employ for shampooniug;
but spirits OF ammonia is better.

Two drops of oil will flavor it strong. For
