All About the Floor.

housekeeping time is here, and
few hints in regard to our floors may
he acceptable. We all know that
nothing improves the appearance OF
a room more than clean, well-kept
floor. 1t is much easier problem than
many suppose. By buying your paints
and stains ready prepared by some
reliable firm there is no reason why
anyone who wishes to devote the time
may not have attractive floors.
hardwood floor is preferable, but the
work can be. easily and substantially
done where it is of soft wood. Whether
you wish to paint, stain or wax your
floor, the first thing to do is to cleanse
it thoroughly and let it dry. Then fill
all cracks we'll with putty, being care
full to press it in very firmly and make
the surface as smooth as possible.
To paint floor make your first coat
of paint very thin and let it be per-
fectly dry before applying the second
coat Have your second coat quite
thick and allow this to dry thoroughly
before stepping upon it. If you wish
a good result you must have the first
coat thin, the second thick and allow
plenty of time to dry. Do not scrub
painted floor with a broom, as it
causes the paint to scale off. The best
method is to mop with flannel cloth
(do not use hot water or soap), draw
ing in even strokes towards you. In
this way the dirt is collected in one
place and may be gathered up easily
and the paint will not be streaked.
To stain floor let it dry about an
hour after washing. Then rub we'll
into the wood a coat of the filler or
stain. Let this dry from twenty-four

Will Grow Big Red Apples.

One of the enthusiastic fruitmen of
the famous Wenatchee valley is F. w.
Crum, of Entiat. Mr.. Crum has a
dry land farm up the Columbia, Is
miles above Wenatchee. He has there
sixty-seven acres planted to orchards
and thirty acres of them come into
bearing this year. In order to do the
necessary irrigating Mr.. Crum will
put in a pumping plant which will
take the water from the Columbia
river at the rate of 800 gallons per
minute. In day of ten hours this
means that Mr.. Crum will distribute
over his place the enormous flood of
10000 gallons of water. He will
only irrigate his thirty acres of bear
ing orchard this year, and does not
calculate to put any water on his
young trees until next year. Mr.. Crum
is aiming to raise nothing but red
apples over the entire orchard. On his
sixty-seven acres Mr.. Crum has al
most 5000 trees and on his thirty
acres he expects to get not less than
three thousand boxes this year, all
of them red. On his sixty-seven acres
then his output would be considerably
more than 5000 boxes which, if sold
at the average price of the season,
would not bring less than Is cents
per box.
The majority of his varieties are
Spitzenbergs, Staymen Winesaps,
Rome Beauties and Brother JOnathans.
He also has quite number of Arkan-
sas Blacks. These will all produce
red apples, and Mr.. Crum's farm will,
to every intent and purpose be the
home of the big red apple, where the
dollars grow on trees. All of the
farm, save ten acres, is planted to
winter apples. He has named his
place the Big Red Apple farm.

A Convenient Ranch House.

We herewith present practical
plan for a small, Onestory cottage,
which our hOuse-builders will lind ar
ranged for convenience as well as
beauty and can be built as cheaply as
many others which have no idea OF
convenience. The greatest fault we
find with most plans is that the houses
are built in a manner which renders
them entirely impracticable where the
wife and mother does her own work,
and in the majority of cases she finds
it necessary to do so on the ranch.
little forethought and only little
extra expense will save so many steps,
and the kitchen, dining-room and
pantry are the most important rooms
in the house, as there is where we
have our work to do. We wish to
call special attention to our kitchen
and pantry. The pump is at the right
of the sink, next comes the draining
board; then to the left is the kitchen

IN THE HOUSEHOLD
Edited by Mrs S. C. Butcher
ForeWord.

In this issue we begin new depart
ment. 1t is not installed upon the
spur of the moment" but after great
deal of thought has been given the sub
iect. The demand for a household
department in such a publication as
The Ranch is very general, and we
shall now try to fill it. To the end
that this may be made as interesting
and valuable as our other departments,
the publishers ask the kindly cO-Opera-
ton of the women on the farm. AT
the start this department is rather in
the nature of an experiment, but we
are of the firm belief that it will be
thoroughly appreciated and that it will
become permanent feature. The pub
fishers would like to hear from every
farmers wife who reads The Ranch
as to the way they feel toward
household department in the paper-a
department where matters of interest
to the farmers wife and daughter
may be fully and freely discussed;
where may be made hints and suggeS-
lions for making the farm home more
attractive, lessening the drudgery as
much as possible, and in every way
helping the woman on the farm to
tighten her work and to get more
pleasure out of life. In new cOun-
try, where every other home is that
of a newcomer, there are numerous
problems that test the ingenuity OF the
housewife to solve. No one woman
can tell the readers of The Ranch all
that will help them in the solution OF
their many perplexities, but those who
have had experience can send in their
contributions for the benefit OF the
others.
1t is the intention of the publishers
to devote a page in each issue to this
department and communications are
invited from every one interested. No
one need feel diffident about writing
for the new department; communica-
lions need not be very long-the more
of them the better, rather than one
or two long ones, and practical arti-
cles treating of country home matters
are especially desired This depart
ment will be edited by Mrs. 5. Z.
Butcher, of Ellensburg. Communlca-
lions may be sent direct to her or to

FREE SAMPLES CAN BE HAD.

man who always goes about with sore
face and continues to use toilet and laundry
soaps is not entitled to sympathy. He de-
serves censure. Such soaps are bound to
bring such face troubles. They were never
intended for the delicate skin of the face.
Nothing but the best shaving soaps should
be used-soaps made specially for shaving.
Williams Shaving Soap is -eminently the
best for this purpose. The advertisement
elsewhere suggests a free sample-a good
way to find out what really good shaving
soap means.

work by Mr.. Wheeler peculiarly timely

COLLEGE ATHLETE
TO TRY EFFRIES

CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-Ralph Rose,
the noted California athlete, now
studying at the University Of Michi-
gan. has new ambition. He breaks
worlds records at putting the shot and
throwing weights, and yet is not sat
isfed. Tt is now said that he is after
James ]. Jeffries, heavyweight pugil-
ist of the world. Rose wants to be-
come prizefghter and declares that
he is the only man in the world capa-
BILE of knocking out Jeffries.
In a letter to Chicago friend he is
credited with saying:
II believe am the only man in the
world who can lick Jeffries. I have a
stronger right arm than Jeffries, I can
hit a harder punch and if 1 ever hit
him on the neck III kill him There is
no reason to believe that I could not
whip Jefries. know he stands today
the premier man OF the prizering. But
I am a swifter man on my feet, have
a harder punch, longer reach, as
much nerve and endurance and
enough experience in the boxing game
to win.
"out there on the coast 1 used TO do
nothing but box before took up ath-
letics. Ny father didn't want me to
follow the game. so I cut it out and
took up athletics instead. But I have
always kept at the boxing game and
there We're few men out there on the
coast who dared to put on the gloves
with me-
.I weigh 275 pounds and certainly
am very much shiftier on my pins
than Jeffries. I don't ever intend to
go in as a professional fighter, but
when I leave college. if. Jeffries has
never been defeated by that time, I'll
go in TO do him up just for the sport

WALCOTT MIGHT
STOP OFF HERE

Local pugilists might get up the fight
Of their lives if they could induce Joe
walcott to stop off here for a few min
utes while he is en- route to Australia.
Joe is liable to- be here according to
the following item from the Call:
Joe Walcott the negro pugilist, ar
rived from Boston last night, accom-
panied by his manager, Billy Pierce,
the well-known sporting writer. Wal
colt who has figured in several match
es during the past few months. is in
excellent condition. He has fought
twice at 142 pounds within a couple
of weeks, and as that is the weight
called for by the articles governing
his contest with Joe Cans, the Bar
BADGES Demon will not have to re-
sort TO drastic measures to save his
forfeit.
Walcott will begin training at Link
Dennis gymnasium, in Oakland, to-
morrow morning. While anxious to
get to work as soon as possible, Wal
colt could not be prevailed. upon to
begin operations today. He shares the
old superstition that bad luck awaits
those who start any kind of a voyage
or enterprise on Friday.
Jack, Johnson, the colored heavy
weight, will be Walcott's sparring
partner. This arrangement was made
by Manager Pierce, who lost no time
in securing Johnson's services. Pierce
believes that a weeks practice with
johnson will make Joe faster than
ever, though for that matter Walcott
was never of the slow kind.
If Walcott wins his fight with Cans
at Woodward's on September 30th
trip far down into the Pacific awaits
him. It is Pierce's intention to invade
Australia with his dusky charge, and
as there are a large number of welter-
weights in that country Joe should
secure enough matches to keep him
busy for year
'.Of course, if Cans defeats Walcott
the Australian tour will be aban-
doned,'' said Pierce.
