To Make IndelibIe Ink.

Indelible ink for marking linen may
be easily prepared at home by putting
two inches of lunar caustic in an
ounce bottle and filling the bottle up
with good vinegar. Be careful that
the bottle Is perfectly clean, or the
result will not be satisfactory. Cork
tightly and leave in sunny place for
two days before using.
In using indelible ink It will be
found more satisfactory to write on
the goods if the following preparation
is first used Put in clean bottle a
scant desertspoonful of salts of tar
tar and lump of gum arabic the size
of hickory nut. Fill the bottle with
rain water and stand In a sunny
place for couple of days before us
ing.
To use, dip a camels hair brush In
the gum liquid and paint over a space
on the linen large enough to contain
the initials or name desired--then al
low 1t to dry for at least twenty-four
hours and iron before using the in
delible ink. Always use a new pen
and dry in the sun, If possible.

printer TO run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-

distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York. and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties OF
the medicine were, to n great extent,

Mrs. Pinlham took great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their

Poor brute! l know he had forgot.

The year that has Just closed has
done a great deal toward showing
the possibilities of Western Canada
from an agricultural standpoint. The
wheat crop has run very near to the
1O0,00o,O00 bushel limit that was look
ed upon as too sanguine an estimate
only n short time ago, and the area
that has been broken TO fall wheat
for the coming harvest will go a long
way towards enabling the farmers of
the West to overlap on the 100,000.000
bushel estimate next year. And while
the spring aud winter wheat have
been doing so well during the past few
years, the other cereals have been
keeping up with the procession. Rye
and barley have made immense
strides. and peas and fax have been
moving steadily along. Dairying,
also. has been successfully carried on
stage the farmer has been striking

success of the West taken bold of the
outsiders that the rush of our Ameri-
cans to Saskatchewan and Alberta,
which was looked upon as marvellous
last year, bids fair to be largely ex-
ceeded in 1906. and as there are still
millions of acres of free homesteada
