WASHING FURNITURE.

Original Freshness.
"very few people know that furni-
ture ought to be washed" said sales
man In the furniture section Of large
department store. "Yet," he contin-
ued, ut Is the best thing one can do
to keep furniture looking as well as 1t
should.
zone should take a basin of tepid
rainwater and make suds with a
good pure soap. Then with soft
piece of cheesecloth all the woodwork
should be washed. 1t is astonishing
how much dirt win come off. A Sec
ond piece of cheesecloth should be
wrung dry out of hot water. On this
should be poured a tablespoonful of
first class furniture polish. The heat
will spread the polish through the
cloth. Next the furniture should be
gone over with the second cloth.
'There will be no need of putting on
more polish. for that much win be all
one needs. Too many persons make
the mistake Of using too much polish
and leaving it thick on the furniture,
where 1t looks dauby and where 1t
gathers more dirt"
There is furniture In homes today
that is cast off because of its appear
ance when 1t might be brought back
to its original freshness by this simple
process Of washing. Many persons do
not know that a fine bit OF mahogany
is improved by careful washing, and
hundreds of pianos have never been
more than busted in years A square
Of cheesecloth for the washing and an
other for the polishing will do the
work, and the result will well repay
the effort.-Indianapo News.

PAYS Fur 100
ACRES OF Land
From the Crop Of Wheat on So
Acres in Western Canada.

This story of paying for your land
out of one years crop is fully anthem
ticated by a great many farmers in
Western Canada.
And now. al that the farmer makes
is velvet and you find him going more
extensively into stock raising, for all
authorities agree that in q short time
there will be a demand for live stock,
such as ever will tax the vast re-
sources Of Western Canada. They
will go into stock raising because of
the adaptability Of the country to pro-
vide food and fodder without feeding
grain if necessary. They will go into
stock and improve their places. They
will install steam and heating plants
in fact, many are o doing it. They
will have automobiles, in fact in many
districts there is not a farmer but has
one. They will beautify their homes
and erect fine barns until the whole
country will be as attractive as many
of the counties in the best states in
the Union. But we started out to tell
you of the farmer who paid for 16O
acres of land from the crop of wheat
off Of So acres. The Holden district
on the line Of the Grand Trunk Pacific
does not appear to the ordinary OBJ
server to be any better than many
other districts along that line, and
probably isn't. 1t was in this district
that John Larcome, a settler, pur-
chased in 1915 100 acres of raw prai-
RE land. He broke and seeded SO
acres. His crop turned out we'll, and
he sold the greater portion Of it for
$500. His land cost him S16.aO per
acre. or S2.64O. SO that the crop from
the SO acres paid for the land and left
part of the crop left over would just
pay for the cost Of operation. This
is no really an unusual ease, hundreds
of other farmers in Alberta and Sass
katchewan having been able TO do the
same.
Sales of land are being reported
from many districts in Manitoba, Sass
katchewan and Alberta at good prices.
And values are Yet low. but with the
flow of any value that will take place
after the war, no doubt they Will be
considerably increased. The home
