Mare -diseases are caused by A drainage plan shows first of all flies than we • are wont to believe, the iiifferences in height or elevation and while doing the spring cleaning between all parts of the farm • over which the survey extended. This al - tows the owner -of the land to plan - his own system of drainage. The pos- session of the levels for all parts of the farm lays bare the most advan- tageous routes for the drains, from a study of the levels and contours of a plan it is possible to calculate the acreage which . each main tile must drain. This Information together with the fall or grade procurable is the only true guide to help us decide upoi the size of tile needed in any giv.ea drain. It; is only 'when the plan- ner bas a picture of the whole pro- ject. before him that he can draft an efficient yet economical plan of drains for any piece of land. Future Benefits. --The benefits of a plan do not end with the comple- tion of the drainage system. Only those of us who have tried long and hard to find. a drain, the'location of which was' nowhere recorded, know the value of guidance such as is of- fered by a plan. When a tile -drained farm is offered for sale the existence of a plan of drains adds greatly to 'the value of the farm. The planiis of equal value to both the seller. and buyer. With proper care well -con - strutted tile drains will give good service for several generations; therefore for the convenience of our 'children and grandchildren it is ne- cessary to have a plan of our under- ground drainage work. There is another way in which ail drainage plan • is very helpful to a farm owner; it is a splendid guide •;toward ascertaining the .acreage, of any field or part of the farm. 'Fences are located on the plan, and the whole plan draw_ n to scale, so that with the aid of `a rule it is possible to measure the. area of any part of th,e land surveyed, This is of great assistance in planning a season's erops as well as in :calculating yields per acre.

The reason for this is, . 11or immediate ;construction of drains, vent flies, or .i>asects ' ent'ering. We the question. It th it is well to see that each room is screened properly. to prevent the en- trance of flies. If we attend to the little things before we start the actual cleaning, such as sorting and cleaning drawers, putting away furs, winter curtains, extra blankets, etc., and laying in a supply of cleaning materials, this. will save a lot of time. It has been customary to `envy the home with new. furniture. We think it would be easy to make the houste look well it we just had some new chairs, dressers, tables, etc.,,. but, as a matter of fact,. it does not -make the -housecleaning. half as interesting as it we have some old furniture (which we have longed to discard for years). to transform into something new. What could be more fascinating than the painting. of chairs, tables and other furniture in o: -der to have it harmonize with the walls, the drapery, the woodwork, and the• floor. - It is not only that a floor looks; much better it it is painted or poi -i ished, but it saves time and energy in cleaning. The rough' suttee cote Iects greasy moisture, dust settles in-: to it and soon grimy discolored and; unhealthy conditions exist. Pine!

It Is d'illlcult to say which room& in the house should receive the most. careful consideration. The bedroom is important because it is in the bed-! room the-. person should receive that. perfect sleep which will -insure phy- sical and mental strength.. The' kitchen, too, is important, be- cause ecause here the woman spends a great deal of her time. It will be found most satisfactory to have linoleum ,placed on the kitchen floor. This is easily. kept clean, and is soft, warm, elastic and wears well. There should be nothing in the kitchen which can- not be washed. The furniti::e, walls, etc., should be washable. While cleaning this spring it is especially important thatwe should see that ' all the utensils which are being used constantly should be in a convenient place, and if possible, closed cup- boards should be placed in the kitch- en: The following recipes and in- formation may be found of value in doing the spring cleaning: Washing Windows.—Always dust first and clean the woodwork before/ the glass. The glass may be washed with warm water and soap, ammonia, or kerosene, or whitening and :aui- monia. In washing wring the cloth almost dry, rinse off the window, and dry with a soft cloth and polish with a soft paper or cloth. I Painted _ Woodwork.—Wash in warm soapy water with a soft cloth, doing a little at a time and drying as you go along. For light painted wood use whitening paste. Vanished Woodwork.—If very soil- ed use soap and water. Dry very thoroughly and then rub with am- monia or kerosene. To use kerosene just dampen the cloth and after rub- bing on the varnished woodwork rub again with .a, dry cloth. If not, you will, and a white, glow will result. Dustless ,Dusters. -Dip ` the cheese cloth in a mixture made from iyh cap melted parowax. Note. --These Misters may be wash- ed several times before they require to be dipped again. .

That " this association would have been approved by King Edward there is little doubt, for he was devoted to his Irish terrier, which accompanied him wherever he went. Caesar, in con- sequence, onsequence, became a national character, and was the subject of endless news- paper ewspaper paragraphs and at least one book. On the plate on his collar was inscribed, I am Caesar, the king's dog. After King Edward's death, his widow, Queens Alexandra, took charge of Caesar, who soon, however, fol- lowed his master. He is the first dog belonging to an English monarch of whose name there is anyrecord. None of KingEdwarYa predecessors since the days of the Stuarts appears to have been a " great lover of 'dogs; though Queen Victoria is said to have had one near her when she died, Charles II once advertised for a' lost pet,. "a black dog, between 'a' Greyhound and a Spaniel. It is his majestie's own dog, and doubtless was stolen, for the dog was not born- nor bred in England, and would never forsake his master. Will they never lease robbing his majestie? Must he :not keep a deg? This _dog's place (though better than some imagine) is the only place which nobody offers to beg." The dog's naive, however, is not given. Several earlier monarchs—Charles I (who is known to have expressed 1 preference for greyhounds over Span- iels) Richard II and Henry' 1I --had pet ,dogs, but these are anonymous so far as posterity is concerned. But historians have preserved the names of two of Prince Rupert's dogs—Boy, who was killed at Marston Moor, and Raynall. "I would rather have lost the best horse in my stable," wrote the prince, when `Raynall died.. Jewish women in% Palestine have been granted the vote and will be eligible for election to the constitu- tional assembly. Mrs. L. M. Watson, of Hayden, Col., created quite a sensation in Chicago recently by taking with her on her shopping trips a pet coyote.

Women and girls employed on the same class of ; work in the silverware industry in Great Britain receive the same amount of pay. • Mrs. Pothuis Sirit,;who defeated the only male candidate by two votes, is, the first woman to be elected to the upper house of the Dutch Parliament.

The commutator terminal strips used in certain mechanical switching apparatus, made at the Hawthorne shops of the: Western Electric Com- pany have to be perforated .so ac- curately that the punch and die used for the purpose have to be made accurate tq one hundred thousandth of an inch. k It is difficult to visualize one hun- dred -thousandth of an inch. Even a ten -thousandth of an inch would not be missed if one lost if off the end of one's ruler. The Western: Electric News helps us to visualize it: "Let's multiply that question by ten, and consider merely a thousandth of an inch. You remember the hair friend wife found on your coat the other day? That seemed like a pretty thin thing for her to make a fuss e.bout, as you remarked at the time; yet, if it had been hollow, two full-grown thousandths of an inch could have walked into it, one stand- ing on the other's head. "Just suppose that you had in your hand an inch block sliced into 100,000 sheets, and that you could deal out these hundred -thousandth -inch sheets as rapidly as you can' deal playing' cards off a deck (about four a second.)

The Rider of the 'King Log Continned from Page 7 and on their way. At the Hulling Machine Falls (who named that ugly chasm chose well), where' Deadman's Strip begins, the haste of the drive took horrid toll of flesh. "Old Stone=snipe," as he was call- ed, the aneient hermit who long had claimed for his own the cave and the great gray cliff above the narrow trail of the Strip, chiseled, that year, the names of three men of the X. K. crew. That was his single hobby, his constant toil in summer heat and winter cold, clinking away with mal- let and chisel on the face of the cliff, sinking.

Imagination must supply the flesh. Once past Amegus and into the broad stretches of Sobois Grand, John Kavanagh drew deep breaths again and began to shed his various layers of choler, cantankerousness, pugnac- ity,-and ugnac- ity-and general cussedness. It was seasonably early in May and he could see his way clear from then on. The head of his drive in the sorting -boom in June, and his rendezvous with his daughter, both were assured! As to the raging, roaring, threat- ening field bosses of the Temiscoutta Company, who were attacking him in the rear and on his 'flanks, he was minding them as little as he was con- cerned about the swarins of black- flies which broke their stingers in efforts to bite` his hairy hands and his leather countenance. • The underlings of the Temisconata Company were trying to square them- selves in a bad, bad matter without owning up tet the head office—to the much -feared mighty mens in New York that John Xavier Kavanagh by force, fury and lawless tactics bad brought about a situation which might hang up the pulp -timber drive for the season and endanger the supply for the paper -mills. The - X. K. logs were safely. in Sobois Grand and had the right of way at the sluice -dam; Kavanagih's pocket booms were flung _around acres of his floating timber, and Sabois Grand was ehoked ahead of the pulp stuff.
