DITCH COMPANIES AND WATER
STORAGE.

The decision OF the supreme court
holding that a ditch company may
store water in its reservoirs during
the season when but little is used in
actual irrigation makes 1t practicable
for the farmers and the ditch compa-
nies TO provide for an ample supply for
rate as well as for early irrigation.
Storage for late irrigation has be-
come of greater importance than for
nerly by reason of the extension of
sugar beet production. There is need
Of water for the beet crop later than
for most OF the other crops grown in
this state, and the profits OF the farm
frs depend largely upon whether an
adequate quantity can be procured.
Thus under the decision a seasonal
distribution of water becomes prac.
ticable. and this means the develop
nient of irrigated agriculture in ways
exceedingly desirable. II will tend to
promote diversity in crops, which in.
tensive cultivation under irrigation re-
'atires in order that the best result,

HOW TO REMOVE
VARIOUS STAINS.

Perhaps stains OF various sorts are
the most common of household calam-
tiles. Not anything is exempt-cloth-
ing, hands. furniture and wall paper
alike yield to the haste of the last
minute" housekeeper or the careless
ness of the inexperienced one. Here
are a few useful hints that may be
appropriate:
To remove oil stains from wood. mix
Iipe clay and water together till they
form n stiff paste. and spread this
over the stain. II left TIL the next
day and then carefully removed, all
trace of the spot will have disappear
ed.
To remove coffee stains, rub thor
oughly with pure. clean glycerin. Aft
erward wash the place well with luke
warm water and iron 1t on the wrong
side till dry. This is especially good
for woolen and kindred materials.
For rust, ink and mlldew marks on
white garments nothing is better tn IN
salt and lemon juice. Moisten the
salt with the juice and spread over
the stains. allowing 1t to remain for
a short time. and then, II necessary,
repeating the process. Rinse well aft
erward in clear water
India ink is soluble in alcohol. and
so this will remove 1t II anything
will. For ordinary ink spots that are
not yet dry. apply sweet milk and pi.
In the sun to bleach.
Glycerin and lemon are good to re-
T. owe stains from hands. Put into a
bottle two ounces OF glycerin, two
ounces of water. four tablespoonfuls of
lemon juice and few drops OF car
bolic acid. Shake we'll After washing
and wiping the hands rub a little of
TINS mixture OH them.
For ink stains on the hands, how
ever, use oxalic acid. Put an ounce
OF the crystals in pint bottle and
MI up with water. Mark the bottle
plainly with the name and also with
the word Poison Wet a piece If
cloth with the acid solution and rub
orangewood stick beneath the nails
Follow with thorough washing in
clear water. This will remove even
printers ink.
