KEEPING FURNITURE
BRIGHT AND CLEAN

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, Dec. 27.-Keeping the house
furniture always clean, bright and
attractive with cost of cleaning ma
terial and labor as low as can be Sc
cured by scientific methods, is the
purpose of few paragraphs in the
o. A. C. bulletin. Methods of Cleaning
written by Miss Ruth NJ. Smith and
issued by the Extension Service. 1t
is also pointed out that nothing saves
ltime and labor more than having
plain, dull finished furniture of sub
stantial design General dusting, says
the bulletin, should be done with a
black cheese cloth duster, prepared
in the following manner:
Dip the cloth into hot water, wiring
dry, then put into boiled linseed oil
which has been thinned with one
third its volume of turpentine. Wiring
out the duster and hang outdoors un-
til perfectly dry. It may be washed
and re-treated. Cedar oil may be
substituted for the linseed, but not
being a drying oil it is apt to be
more greasy.
Furniture polishes should be avoid
ed as most varieties contain cheap
shellac which only covers scratches
temporarily and leaves the wood in
worse condition than before. If not
completely removed, any oily restora-
tive when applied to wood will collect
dust and form a dark, sticky spot.
This sticky surface may be removed
with turpentine. Oils, in general,
with the exception of parafn and pop
py seed oil, tend also to darken wood
Scratches may be concealed by apply
ing on a cloth a small amount OF
water color for wood, to match the
finish of the furniture.
White spots due to heat or water
are aesily removed by applying an oil
of some kind such as linseed or sweet
oil. The oil is then allowed to stand
for an hour or so; it is rubbed vigor-
ously and the treatment repeated un-
til the varnish becomes clear once
more. Care must be taken to re
move every trace of oil. Sal soda and
kerosene may be used for very bad
spots; the soda is sprinkled on and
rubbed with a cloth dipped In kero-
sene. Dullness due to long usage
may be improved with a mixture
of two parts Of boiled linseed oil
and one of turpentine. The oil Is
rubbed off completely with woolen
cloth. This treatment may be fol
lowed by applying a good polishing
wax in very thin film, allowing ii
to stand an hour or more, and rub
bing the surface vigorously with q
woolen cloth and finishing with a pol.

made by covering brick with sew.

wooden cloth is fastened securely.

Pine mice and cottontail rabbits
occur throughout the eastern part of

Pine mice are seldom seen on ac-
count of their molelike habits, for
they live in their own underground

This year is not the first in which

The license majorities have been so
heavy during the past few gears that
the no-license forces have tried only
irregularly to overcome them and
without the desired success.
The fact that there is to be no vote
on the question is, OF course. pleasing

to whether all of the dealers here win
be sufficiently interested in keeping in
the business to pay the advance OF
$500 in the license fee-ST50. Some OF
the dealers claim that they are max
