The scholarships are of the value oi 300 lbs. or about $500 a year and are tenable for three years. one scholar is chosen from each state or territory and two scholarships are assigned. No candidate may com pete in more than one state or ter ritory. The candidate to be eligible must have been citizen of the United States for at least three years, and be unmarried
 By the first of October of the year for which he is elected he must have passed his 18th and not have passed his 18th birthday. By the first Of October of that year he must have completed at least his sophomore year at some recognized degree granting university or college.
 Any person who may have passed the qualifying examination once will be eligible to the Rhodes Scholar ship at any subsequent time without further examination provided that he satisfied the other conditions of el- igiblility.
 The examinations are set by board of examiners in Oxford, the papers being forwarded in sealed parcels to the chairman of the com mittee of selection. After the exam ination replies made by the candi- dates will be forwarded to Oxford.

whether he had forgotten to change

But kind policeman put things

IT put something in It," said Brane-
fog; "but I don't know whether It

With bated breath they hurried to
the professors house. Here, on the
bed lay the baby and the dog, but
1t was just as bad for Branefog: It was

How to Clean Tapestry.

Shake the tapestry gently but well
to remove loose dirt and then immerse
1t In cleansing fluid composed as
follows. Take four ounces of soap to
a quart of water and boil it until It
becomes a Jelly; then divide this
equally in two tubs of hot water, ad-
ding cup of bran to each tub to pre-
vent the colors from running. It is
best to sew the bran in cheese cloth
bags, so that it will not stock to the
fabric.
After washing the tapestry alter.
snately in the two tubs, rinse in water
strongly favored with vinegar Ito pre-
vent colors fading) and dry.
After the heavier weight of the wa.
ter is out, stiffen with thin boiled
starch and iron quickly on the wrong
side with rather hot iron.

FLAX GROWING
is PROFITABLE
WESTERN CANADA FARMERS BE-
COMING RICH IN ITS
PRODUCTION.

So much has been written regarding
the great amount of money made out
of growing wheat in the prairie prov
inces of Manitoba. Saskatchewan and
Alberta, Western Canada, that many
other products of the farms are over
looked. These provinces will always
grow large areas of wheat-both
spring and winter-and the yields will
continue to be large, and the general
average greater than in any other
portion of the continent. Twenty, thir-
ty, forty, and as high as fifty bushels
per acre OF wheat to the acre-yields
unusual in other parts Of the wheat
growing portions OF the continent
have attracted worldwide attention,
but what of oats, which yield forty,
fifty and as high as one hundred and
ten bushels per acre and carry off the
worlds prize, which, by the way, was
also done by wheat raised in Sas-
katchewan during last November at
the New York Land Show. And then,
there is the barley, with its big yields,
and its excellent samples. Another
money-maker, and q big one is flax.
The growing of fax is extensively car
ried on in Western Canada. The
writer has before him a circular is
sued by prominent farmer at Saska-
toon. The circular deals with the
treatment of seed fax, the seeding
and harvesting, and attributes yields
OF less than 20 bushels per acre. to
later seeding, imperfect and illy-pre-
pared seed. He sowed twenty-five
pounds Of seed per acre and had q
yield of twonty-nine bushels per acre.
This will probably dispose of at $3.50
per acre. Speaking OF proper prepa-
ration of seed and cultivation of soil
and opportune sowing, in the circular
spoken OF there is cited the case of
Mr. White, living fourteen miles
south of Rosetown, "who had fifteen
last summer, upon which he produced
thirty-three bushels to the acre, when
many in the district harvested for
want of crop. Now. there can be no
proper reason advanced why such a
crop should not have been produced
on all the lands of the same quality
in the adjacent district, provided they
had been worked and cared for in the
same manner. This year 191D the
same man had one hundred acres OF
summer fallow, had something over
$500 bushels of wheat. He also had
1900 bushels of oats and 800 bushels
of fax"
There are the cattle, the horses, the
roots and the vegetable products OF
Western Canada farms, all Of which
individually and collectively deserve
special mention. and they are treated
of in the literature sent out Oh appli-
cation by the Government agents.

To the gardener, the cold months OF
the year must always mean a cessa-
tiOn in the active work OF plant cul-
ture. Any scheme which will enable
the enthusiast to pursue his pastime
during the winter is sure of a well
come. The new method of bringing
the branches of trees and OF shrubs
into flower at this time, is one which
promises to make a valuable addition
to the resources of the indoor gar
dener. It's very simplicity must ap-
peal to everyone, while the decorative
possibilities of the system cannot fail
to attract all flower admirers.
In order to understand the purpose
of the treatment the consideration OF
a. few natural science points may not
be out of place. it is well known to
botanists that all deciduous trees and
shrubs bring their next seasons
growth to a very advanced stage dur
ing the fall. Indeed, all leaves and
flowers are quite ready for the spring
folded up on a very small scale be-
meath the protecting bud cases. Now
the resumption of growth, when it
docs take place, is largely due to the
fact that the plant starts to draw wa
ter from the soil and the fluid rising
to the buds swell out the undeveioped
tissue and the tree comes into foliage
Charlevoix county herald., 1912-03-16

often followed by florists when they
wish to revive dropping flowers.
1t is just as well to leave the
branches in the dark cupboard for
twenty-four hours, although naturally
the water will have become cold long
before this interval has elapsed, but
this does not matter. 1t is a question
for the individual to decide whether
the boughs shall be grown to perfec-
tion in the vases or whether they shall
only be placed in the ornamental re
ceptacles after they have fully devel.
oped. Some people do not find the
leafiess branches inartistic and these
are, of course, soon adorned with eX-
panding buds which give a delightful
spring" feeling to the apartment.
Which ever course is adopted the
boughs should be biaced at once in
pure water which it is necessary
should be kept in a fresh condition.
To this end it is not q bad plan to
place a lump of charcoal in each vase
or bowl, or change the water every
day. It is now desirable that the
branches should be placed in a fully
light position, If possible in front OF
window where they will get all the
sunshine.
The speed of growth will be entire
ly dependent upon the warmth of the
room If the temperature is high the
buds will commence to swell very rap
idly. Soon the expanding flowers and
leaves will be plainly visible and at
this stage dust is harmful to the young
growth.
If possible, the boughs should be
protected when any sweeping is going
on in the apartment, and in any case
the shoots will be benefited If they
are sprinkled occasionally with luke
warm water. 1t should be pointed out
in conclusion, however, that the direc-
tions emphasized in the foregoing
lines should be followed If the best
results are desired.

WOODEN SHOE
FOR THE PLOW
Piece of Board 80 Inches Long
and IL Inches Wide Pro-
tectr Sharp Edge
From Stones.

When farmers start to plow in the
spring or fall it is usually the custom
to load the plow or plows into the
wagon or on TO stone boat in order
to take them to the field.
Many people hitch their teams to the
plow and drag them, writes j. G. Beat
tie in the Wisconsin Agriculturist.
This, however, is a bad mistake, be-
cause the plow edge is not only spoil
ed by scratching the occasional stones
