How TO MAKE GRATING WAY
Thomas Matteson. Pennsylvania, writes:
Take two parts mutton tallow. four parts
resin. three parts beeswax; melt the tai
low, first. and put the beeswax and resin
into it. When il is all melted, stir il all up
and pour it into cold water and work it
over. If there are Jumps in il. mash them
with your thumb and finger. The longer
you work it the more sticky it grows
When it begins to stick TO your hands, put
some tallow on them. Work it till it is as
sticky as you want it. Put in a tin pan
with a cover to it. and it will keep for
number of years. l think il is as good as
sticking salve to put on any sores. Some
people put in more tallow than they put in
resin or beeswax. to make ii softer to work
in cold weather; but If there is too much
tallow in it, it will melt and run out in
warm weather. l have had about forty
years experience in grating. and used a
number of sorts of grating wax. Some
people put il in hot water. and make more
trouble than there is need Of. l wet my
finger with my tongue, and don't find any
difficulty in putting the wax on. | put a
little wax on the end of the graft

PAINT YOUR FLooRs-The Journal of
the Farm offers few good suggestions
upon kitchens. Ii recommends that the
housewife, instead of wearing out her mus
Gle and her temper scrubbing floors, should
resort to the simple expediens Of painting.
All that is necessary is two quarts Of oil
three pounds OF ochre and one pint of
japan, which will paint floor twelve by
eighteen feet. The time taken to clean a
painted floor, and the labor saved. are
equal to ten times the cost. The writer
also suggests another convenience, name
ly: good sized sink. five or six feet long
by two and half wide, at the back; at
the top Of this sink should be a shelf for
lamps, vases ETC.. under it place for IRON
ware and at the ends two pumps-one for
hard and the other for soft water.

The Santillian grant, which embraces
nearly the entire business portion Of San
Francisco, and is estimated to cover proper
ty worth over one hundred million dollars,
is now occupying the attention Of the Cali
fornia delegation in Congress. The claim
is based on Mexican grant, said to have
been executed to Jose Prudencio Santillian
IN February, 1916, for lands claimed to have
been the possessions of the Mission Dolores
at San Francisco. It is expected very des-
perate contest will be instituted between the
claimant and the present holders Of the

SELECTING THEIR COMPANY.

The Changers are becoming suspicious,
and are not disposed to tako the "say 50" OF
all who apply for admission to the order
that they fare interested in agriculture" as
veritable, at least in the spirit which the
order requires. In his address to the Ma
tional Convention of Changers, assembled in
St. Louis, on the 9Th, Grand Master Adams,
made use Of the following blunt language /:
Article 5, as now worded, caused, perhaps,
more trouble and vexation than any other.
I refer to the clause which reads, s'Ary per-
son interested in agricultural pursuits. p
This clause is capable of such varied con-
struction that much confusion and misun-
Outstanding have resulted. During the in
fancy of the Order, when members were few,
our strength puny, and our chief aim sim
ply social and educational, there was no dan
ger in constituting this clause literally, and
admitting nearly all who would pay the fee
and consent to join such weak and unpop-
ular institution !; but now all these circum-
stances are changed. To be Patron of
Husbandry is no longer Of doubtful proprie-
ty, but the proudesti in the land are knock
ing at our DOORS The Order has been rec
ognized as one of the great powers Of the
land, and the gates are besieged from. ocean
to ocean by hordes Of spectators, deua-
gogues, small politicians, grain buyers, cot
ton-factors. and lawyers, who suddenly dis
cover that they are "interested in agricultu-
raj pursuits" It is true that they are inter-
ested in agricultural pursuits" but only as
a hawk is interested 10 the sparrow. You
would do well to give this matter most
careful review, and by law determine the
proper construction Of the Constitution, SO
we may be able to keep our gates closed a.
gainst those whose only interest consists in
what they can make out Of us. To have
such admitted to our counsels can only re-
suit in evil and SOW seeds Of internal strife.
