Plan Irritation In Canada.

BY means Of irrigation Canadian
railway oficials propose to reclaim
1000 farms Of 100 acres each before
the end Of the present year. They
have undertaken to irrigate between
100000 and 100000 acres between
Calgary and Medicine Hat, utilizing
the Bow and Red Deer rivers as the
source OF water supply. The work OF
making canals where the water is
most needed has already begun, and
the main channel. close 10 Calgary,
partly cut last year, is to be carried
twenty miles farther this year. This
channel is sixty feet wide and carries
ten feet Of water, while the secondary
canals, planned to be cut the coming
season, will water something over
100000 acres.

rrsa,msn, Of Floors for Ruas.

The hygienic advantages Of floors
covered with removable rugs instead
Of dust.collectIng carpets are so well
known and realized that the tendency
now Is to have bare floors and rugs
for the sake Of comfort and convent
ence as well as to follow the trend Of
fashion. Good hard wood floors are
blessings that certainly are anything
but disguised, for they always look
well, form a pleasing contrast TO am
kind OF rugs and above all they are
easy to keep clean. In case, however,
one has an old floor Of soft wood that
is hard to treat satisfactorily and the
laying OF a hard wood floor is not pos,
sible or practical, floor Of hard pine
put down on top Of the old floor may
be made to look almost as well as one
Of expensive hard wood. For this pine
floor a stain, one Of those especially
prepared, should be used, light or
medium color being preferable to a
dark one. and II should be remem.
bered that several thin coats will wear
much better than one thick one. After
the stain is put on the floor may be

the safekeeping Of these staple articles

in well regulated households. For

a specific and desirable type OF re-

holder, fashioned from crystal, Is de-
signed particularly for cereals, but II
is available for other dry food stuffs,
and one point especially in its favor
is the arrangement whereby the desir-
