OLLOWING its policy of hay-
ing as much as possible of its
new equipment constructed by its
town forces, the Canadian National
Railways this year have com-
pleted the construction of two
hundred forty -ton refrigerator
cars, required for its increasing
freight service, in addition to
another two hundred whichwere built by the Eastern Car Company.' One
hundred each of the new cars were constructed in the. Company's own shops at
London, Ontario and Winnipeg, Manitoba, and these contain many new features

Hints For Homebodies
Written for The -Advance-Times

Jessie Allen Brown
The New Housekeeper
There are many new housekeepers
in the land,as. the June brides be-
come intimately acquainted with the
gadgets presented at their kitchen
showers. We will hose for their own
sakes and for that of their poor hus-
bands, that they already. know how
to keep house. Housekeeping when
you know how, is hard enough work,
but for those who know little about
it, it is not much fun. The time to
learn elle rudiments, at least,' is before
marriage.
Advice is usually handed out whole-
sale to the about -to -be -married. One
piece of advice given to ane, 1 never
have forgotten. This was "to be bet-
ter to myself, than to my house." It
was given to ane by an immaculate
housekeeper, who has been better to
her house than to herself: ]Many a
time I have recalled it. Sometimes
when I ani letting something slide by
without attending to it, 1; remember.
that I am being better to myself. At
other tunes when I have worked too
bard,` and am so tired that it is hard
to be civil to anyone, I realize that
I have been bater to iny house. It
is not always easy to strike the pro-
per balance.'
There is one thing sure, the family
does not always know when the house
his clean, to the uttermost corner, but
(they are prety apt to know when the
mother is too tired.
Salmon
It is like carrying coal to Newcas-
tle, to tell my readers, who are near
the Atlantic or the Pacific about Sal-
;mon, This is not for them, but for
the rest of uspoor landlubbers, who
are. best acquainted with the salmon
in the can. It is very good there too,
.but cannot be compared with the
'fresh fish. Here we •get Gaspe and
Restigouche salmon and from the
middle of June until the Fall, it ap-
pears on our menu frequently. It may
he boiled, but it is even better steam -
cd. A 3 -pound piece steams in about
half an hour. Remove skin and serve
hot with any fish sauce. It is equally
good cold with salad dressing. If you
are fortunate •enough to have any left
it may be soused, that is covered with
vinegar. Soused salmon will keep for
some time. Salmon is one of my' pet
company dishes, as .I find very few
people seem to be familiar with it,
and everyone seems to, enjoy it, What
more can one ask in a company food,
than novelty and appreciation!
New Potatoes
Our home grown :potatoes are in,
about the middle of July, in this part
of the country. "Tare is nothing that
tastes better than those first new po-
tatoes. Reserve the smaller ones
those about the size of over -grown
marbles are best. Boil thein, drain
and brown quickly in a little dripping

sure to prove popular.
Someone said recently that new eo-
tatoes were not fattening. • I wonder
if the wish was father to the thought,
It is sad but true, that the calories
are in the new potatoes, just the same
as in the old. So beware!
A Coincidence
After I had written this much i
went to see a bride, She was prepar-
ing dinner, and between whiles try-
ing to find the right spot for her.
Lares(and Penates. In the midst of
it shesaid "thank goodness for all
the housework I have done. My
heart aches for those poor girls who
are trying to get a house settled and
have no idea how to keep house or
to cook a ideal. It seemed strange
that she should have said almost the
same thing that I had just finished
writing.
Here is a good dressing for the
bride.
Salad Dressing
z tablespoon flour
4'' tablespoons sugar
z teaspoons salt
T teaspoon mustard
118 teaspoon pepper
i. cep vinegar
cup water.

3 tablespoons batter
e cup milk
Mix dry ingredients and moisten
with water. Add vinegar, slightly
beaten egg .and butter. Cook over
gentle heat until it comes to a boil,
stirring constantly. Atid milk gradu-
ally and bring again to a boil. Do not
cook at too high a temperature or it
may curdle. This will keep for some
time.

e lb.. marshmallow.
2 pups dates. - Ptft all through the grinder and add
enough whipped cream to bind to-
gether in a loaf. Kcct in the ice box
for a few hours. Serve in slices with
whipped cream. This makes a delic-
ious dessert and is a good company
one as it may be made the day before.
Remodelling of Barns
This is the building season on the
farm. Although there will not be a
great many new earns built this year,
!there will 'be tate usual amount of
eernodetling of cow stables. The stab-
iles should be constructed to keep, out
cold and conserve the animal heat, at
the same time letting the air move
through the stable by scone well de-
signed ventilating measure. In most
cases the barns having the poorest
ventilation facilities areeehose where
the inside temperature is too low. The
following suggestions could be fol-
lowed to good advantage by dairy far-
mers; Don't have the stable too high;
eight feet to the bottom joists S.
plenty. Have as few doors as pos-
sible and : have them tight. Four
square feet of window lights per cow
is sufficient. Insulate the walls.
Warm stables are desirable from ev-
ery standpoint—if well ventilated.
Fertilizer Experiments
Thirty-two field experiments of
various kinds are being conducted in
Wellington this summer under the
Soil and Crop Improvem.ent Associa-
tion. Two fields of soy' beans and a
number of table turnip experiments
are being carried out. The effects of
fertili2er .on spring grain are being.
studied under the supervision of Prof,
H. G. Bell and Mr. J. Bryden of the
O.A.C. On one farma titixture of.
oats and barley was sown in two
strips, one-half acre each. The first
had been given an application of 0-
14-6 fertilizer and the other 3-10
—5, in both cases 250 pounds to the,
acre, The fertilized oats and barley
were decidedly stronger in growth
and taller than the unfertilized por-
tion of the 'fields, At harvest time
equal representative areas of these
plots will ,be carefully harvested and
yields compared. Whether or not it
will pay to use nitrogen will be gath-
ered from a contparisrtn of the results
of the two fertilizers.

If anybody wants to make a for-
tune In a hurry, be need only take
advantage of some such graze as that
now developing for skating, Says a
writer in Tit -Bits.
We have had many outbreaks of
sinking mania in England, and to
numbers • of speculators they have
yielded. a golden harvest, In the ear-
ly nineties a small syndicate, with .a
capital of $20,000, built Arink. The
profits (more than $25,000
for
e
first year) ,were sunk in building an-
other rink, then another, and so on,
till the syndicate owned fourteen, the
takings at most of which averaged
more than $1,000 a week. All the
speculators made a fortune in about i
two years.
Another small combination of busi-
ness men began operations at Liver-
pool, and ultimately owned at least
one rink in every capital in Europe:
One of the results of the craze was
that an enormous demand sprang up
for roller skates. These had hitherto
been imported from the United
States, but some English firms began
to make them, with the result that
they prospered greatly.
Crazes for "something with a thrill
in it" have also enriched many per-
sons. The inventor of the switchback
Bold the English right for £1,250,-
000, and then produced the scenic
railway, for which' he refused an of-
fer of £8,000,000.
Both contrivances were enormous-
ly profitable to exhibitors. When the
scenic railway was opened at the
White City, Loudon, there was such
a crush to reach the cars that a large
waiting -room had to be built for pas-
sengers. In two months the revenue
from the cars covered the whole cost
of constructing the railway.
In the North of England a switch-
back produced a dividend of 800 per
cent. on the first summer's working.
For a time, skyscraping towers and
big wheels were little less successful
as moneymakers. It was the Eiffel
Tower that caused the Paris Exhibi-
tion of 1889 to yield a handsome sur-
plus.
urplus. Even William Morris, it was re-
ported, could not keep away from it.
"Yes," he said to a friend, "I had
my tnmeals there, wrote my letters
there, saw my visitors there, and I'd
have slept there if there were any
beds in the restaurant. I go to the
tower because it's only when I'm
there that I can't see the thing."
The cycling craze that followed the
introduction of the pneumatic tyre
had unique financial results, and
many men sprang from poverty to
wealth at a bound. This as genet. -
ally owing to sensational appreciation
in cycle companies' shares. Those of
one company jumped from 9d. to
£? 17s. 6d,, and the shares of an-
other eotipany, issued at £1, were
worth £13 10s. a fortnight later. Ali
the persons to whom they were al-
lotted, except one, sold .at 25s. The
exception was a publican, who made
a profit of $12 10s. a . share.
Pots of money were made by other
methods than dealing in shares. The
;English rights of the Dunlop tyre pa-
tent • were offered to a certain man
for £1,000.. He refused them, and
they were aequired by Mr. Harvey du
Cros, who sold them a year or two
later for £3,000,000.
A particularly romantic rise to
fortune through the cycling craze is
well known in some circles. One
night a than very prominent during
that craze gave a cab -driver a £5
note, accompanied with a few words
of advice. After that the taxi -man
did not' look back, and not. many
years later he was a knight and the
managing director of one of the big-
gest engineering firms in the country.
