100000 ARID ACRES
TO BE RECLAIMED

WENATCHEE, May ll.-Representa-
tive Jones has received advice from F. H.
Newell, chief of the reclamation service.
that the government is contemplating an
extensive reclamation project in this sec
ton. The Palouse country is one of the
most fertile in the west. and there are
100, 900 acres of this land near Pasco that
only requires irrigation to convert it into a
choice agricultural tract. 1t is understood
that it is the intention of the department
to concentrate the irrigation investigation
upon his project during the summer.
The farmers Of this district are very
enthusiastic over the prospect of govern
ment irrigation, and it is generally agreed
that the Palouse country offers the most
promising reclamation scheme of the
Northwest.
If the investigation made during the next
few months prove satisfactory the secre-
tary of the interior will set aside suffi-
cent money from the reclamation funds
to construct the reservoir and canals The
estimated cost of the reclamation is S25
per acre. 1t is figured that the land will
be worth at least four times the cost of
retaining it. slENtaMlA

To prepare the wood for stain, sand
paper it thoroughly lengthwise Of the grain
particularly in places that SHOW and
take the edge off the corners slightly by
sandpapering, especially if oak Is used
which is apt to be splntery. Even ii the
wood has been smoothly planed it needs
sandpapering. for otherwise the stain will
lift the grain and leave the wood rough.
For stain some use aniline or water"
stain. Plain oil stain is better. though,
for by wiping the stain off the grain can
be shown better, if that is desired, while
the aniline stain puts an even tone over
the "high lights and all of the grain.
Then there are some tints difficult to get
with aniine.
Paint the oil stain on with brush and
wipe it off again with cloth, so as to
show the grain. This stain can be made
by adding turpentine to paint or by mix
ing dry color, raw lnseed oil and turpen-
tine. Prepared oil stain is kept in cans
like paint at the paint stores. If color
is not pleasing after it has been applied
to the wood, and it is too late to wipe
it off. another different color can be wiped
on after the first has dried day or so.
This will modify the color, but will also
darken it. Do not fill the wood before
staining. That is only where Varnish or
polish is to be applied to get a perfectly
smooth shining surface. In a few days
the stained surface will dry down dead

.THE CUPBOARD WAS BARE"

Don't have the cupboard empty! Things
must be boughten and paid for in the
end. and it is sensible to have something
on hand. To run to the store before each
meal is a slovenly custom. One should
not buy excessive quantities, but it is econ
omical to buy more than can be immedi-
ately used. This does not apply to those
things which are perishable.

Many people object to canned vegetables
Fresh vegetables can be obtained in good
markets all winter, but the prices are for
bidding. The ideal way is to can veget-
ables at home. In buying canned veget-
ables it is more economical to buy dozen
cans; they require little space.

mediately adopted into fashion and has
helped to destroy the grace and exquisite
coloring of countless thousands of necks.
In order to have beautiful neck one
must first pay due attention to the general
condition of the system.
The neckdress should be loose and rea-
sonably low, the soft crush collars being
step in the right direction. Vocal exer-
cises should be practiced faithfully either
in music, or elocution, and deep breathing
should accompany these exercises.

To bring out the grain and to brighten
the color paint the wood over with raw
linseed oil after the stain has thoroughly
dried day or two and let it stand thick
on the wood an hour or two, then wipe it
off with cloth This gives rich half
gloss more pleasing than glittering polish,
and does not leave an ugly white mark
when scratched.
If higher polish is desired than the
oiled finish gives, rub on a thin coat Of
floor wax or beeswax cut with turpeptine.
To prepare the wax, shave up and let
it stand in turpentne a day or two or
else melt the wax and pour it into the tNr-
pentine. Prepared floor wax is kept at
paint stores in pound cans. This latter
has a little linseed oil added to it. The
oiled surface and the waxed have the one
great advantage over varnsh that polish
has an even sllrface When the wax has
dried few hours polish with a brush or
cloth. Wax needs to be rubbed occasional
~ to keep its luster. Parts that get much
wear need rewaxing occasionally.
Before applying the finish to the furni-
ture, try it on a scrap of wood or on some
part of the piece not visible ordinarily, to
get the color right at first. If your green
tint is too bright it can be dulIed or
"muddied' by adding a little black or
brown OF red Do not scrub a waxed or
oiled surface much with soap and water

Cattle Losses Not Heavy.

DENVER, Col, April 24.-Charles f.
Martin, secretary of the National Live
Stock association, who has just return
ed from an extended visit among the
Cattlemen in the Northern states, says
that reports sent out from the cattle
country that large numbers of cattle
have died during the winter are for
the most part exaggerated. Said Mr..
Martin: Il believe the cattle have
come through the winter in much bet
ter shape than is generally supposed.
In nearly all parts of the Northwest
the cattle are in fine shape. In Mon
tana, South Dakota. Wyoming and
Idaho the cattle all look very good, and
'stoclImen say the reports of heavy
losses are not true. The sheep came
through the winter well and are now in
good condition"
