United States decreased from 203 acres
in 1850 to 134 acres in 1882; the per-
centage of unimproved land decreased

twelve hours in soap-suds, then take for
every twenty-five yards Of sheeting d
half pound of chloride of lime and dis
solve it in enough boiling water to
cover the cloth when dipped into it.
When the lime is dissolved strain the
solution through a cloth; then put the
sheeting in and stir constantly for a
half hour; rinse well in pure water;
then boil in strong studs and hang in the
air to dry. Flannel, which has become
