FLAX GROWING IS PROFITABLE

WESTERN CANADA FARMERB BECOMING RICH IN ITS PRODUCTION. So much has been written regarding the great amount of money made out of growing wheat In the prairie provinces of Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta, Western Canada, that many other products of the farms are overlooked. These provinces will always groar large areas of wheat —both spring and wlnter-*-and the yields wffl continue to be large, and the general average greater than in any other portion of the continent. Twenty, thirty, forty, and as high as fifty bushels per acre of wheat to the acre —yields unuspal in other parts of the wheat growing portions of the continent — have attracted world-wide attention, but what of oats, which yield forty, fifty and as high as one hundred and ten bushels per acre and carry off the world’s prize, which, by the way, was also done by wheat raised in Saskatchewan during last November at the New Tork'Land Show. And then, there is the barley, with its big yields, and Its samples. Another money-maker, and a big one Is flax. The growing of flax Is extensively carried on in Western Canada. The writer has before him a circular issued by a prominent farmer at Saskatoon. The circular deals with the treatment of seed flax, 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 a yield of twenty-nine bushels per acre. This will probably dispose of at $2.50 per acre. Speaking of proper preparation of seed and cultivation of soil and opportune sowing, In the circular soken of there is cited the case of a r. White, living fourteen miles south of Rosetown, “who had fifteen acres of summer fallow a year ago last summer, upon which he produced thirty-three bushels to the acre, when many In tbe district harvested for want of crop. Now, there can be no proper reason advanced why Buch 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 (1911) the man had one hundred acres of summer fallow, had something over 3,800 bushels of wheat. He also had 1,800 bushels of oats and 800 bushels of flax.” 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 on application by the Government agents.

Irascibility Explained.

“Isn’t your husband getting a fearfully bad disposition?’’ asked Mrs. Shortsoot “No,” replied Mr. Leedout. “He has read somewhere that brainy men are always cranks and he’s trying to get a reputation.”

FIFTY CENTS DID WHAT A HUNDRED DOLLARS COULDN’T

Brooklyn Man Discovers He Could Have Saved $99.50 on In- ' Jured Leg. - Imagine spending One Hundred Dollars for preparations to heal a wound on the leg, and then finding that a fifty-cent jar of Resinol dis the trick! That is just what C. M. Waggoner, of Brooklyn, N. T-» did. He tells briefly his experience in the following letter: “A few yearß ago I seriously injured my leg, and tried everything I saw advertised. Finally, I was advised to try Resinol Ointment, and in a very short time the wound was completely healed. One small jar of Resinol Ointment did what one hundred dollars' worth of other remedies had failed to do. C. M. WAGGONER, “Brooklyn, N. Y ” Resinol Ointment instantly relieves eczema, scalds and burns, tetter, milk crust, ringworm, barber’s itch, all eruptions and lritations of the skin; pimples, itching, blackheads, boils, chilblains, chaps, etc. Try a fiftycent Jar of Resinol Ointment, to be gotten from your druggist, and you will be more than satisfied with the expenditure. Free sample can be had by writing to Department 83, Resinol Chemical Co., Baltimore, Md.

Subject for the Minister.

According to reports gathered by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, practically 10 per cent, of all deaths /in church congregations are caused by tuberculosis. In a study of 312,000 communicants of 725 chuches in which there were 7,000 deaths in 1910, the death rate among these churchmembers was found to be 2.24 for every thousand communicants. This is higher than the rate for the registration area of the United States, which was 1.60 in 1910. “While these statistics,’ says the national association, “are not comparable from the point of view of accuracy with those of the bureau of census, sufficient credence may be given to them to indicate that one of the most serious problems the ordinary church has to consider is that of the devastation of its membership by tuberculosis. Every minister in the United States should give this subject some attention during the week preceding or that following April 28, Tuberculosis day."

Newspaper is the Medium.

“The importance of this whole question of publicity to the consumer is growing on the manufacturer. He sees his competitor or some man in another line turning the trick of publicity and he sit up and thinks. He is gradually realizing that localized, crystallized publicity in the home is What pays best and that he can only get that through the newspaper."— The Daily Club.

THE DOCTOR HABIT And How She Overcame It.

When well selected food has helped the honest physician place hla patient in sturdy health and free from the “doctor habit,” it is a source of satisfaction to all parties. £ Chicago woman says: “We have not had a doctor in the house during all the 6 years that w# have been using Grape-Nuts food. Be fore we began, however, we had ‘the ioctor habit.’ and scarcely a week went by without & call on our physician. "When our youngest boy arrived, 6 years ago, I was very much run down and nervous, suffering from indigee tion and almost continuous headaches. I was not able to attend to my ordinary domestic duties and was so nervous scarcely control myselt Undfef advice I took to Grape-Nuts. “1 am now, and have been ever since we began to use Grape-Nuts food, able to do all my own work. The dyspepsia, headaches, nervousness and rheumatism which used to drive me fairly wild, have entirely disappeared. "My husband finds that in the night work In which be is engaged, GrapeNuts food supplies him the most whole some, strengthening and satisfying lunch bh ever took with him.” Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.

IRONING THE TABLE NAPKINS

Points Worthy of Remembrance That Will Conserve the Life Of the v, _ Article. Fold them double, selvage to selvage, perfectly even, and mangle several at one time, then let them lie rolled up in a towel for some time before ironing. To iron them, take one at a time, shake out and stretch evenly, lay out very smoothly on the table with the right side uppermost and as square as possible. Iron the right side first, then the wrong, and back again on the right. Be careful not to stretch Die edges out of shape, and iron until quite dry. They are ironed on both sides to avoid having one side rough and the other smooth, as sometimes happens. Give the hems an extra iron to dry them well. 0 Table napkins can be folded either in three or In four, according to teste. To fold in four, fold in the same way as a tablecloth, only on the opposite side, bringing the right side outside instead of the wrong. Get the ends very even, press the folds well with an iron, and fold in four across, making a square again. Air well before laying them away. / To fold in three, measure the sides (hems) first, and get them divided into three equal parts, press them down with an iron to keep them in place, then make the folds right across and iron them down, and press with the iron once more. If there ls n name, it must be on the outside when the table napkin is folded; if a monogram or raised initials, iron well on the wrong side to make the embroidery stand out.

HANGING PICTURES

Two Hanging Nalls.

A large picture hung by one wire is hard to keep in place so that it will always appear straight, as a slight jar or a gust of air may shift it. An Improvement in the hanging can be made by attaching %o wires as shown In the sketch. 'The hanging can be better accomplished and the picture held more firmly in place fn this manner,—Popular Mechanics.

Renovating Painting.

Often the beauty of a painting Is lost because it is so thickly covered with dust To remedy this follow these suggestions: Brush the painting free from dust and wash the . canvas with water, using a sponge. Now take a piece of shaving soap and rub it over the entire painting, leaving it on a very short while. Scrub off with a brush, and when It is thoroughly dried, rub the canvas with a piece of linen which has been dipped Into bwzlner Dmnot use this too freely, however. If the painting appears dull, a little olive oil will benefit this. A coat of thin, colorless varnish is now applied, which protects the painting and keeps it blight for along time. —•.—! To brighten a gold franqfe, boll some outage in water until soft, mash them fine and use the fluid that is extracted.

Uses of Hot-Water Bottle.

I wonder how many know the many uses of hot-water bottles. Nearly every one uses it filled with hot water in cases of neuralgia, toothache or pains in any part of body, or filled with crushed ice to lay on head in cases of brain trouble. One way I have found it useful is to fill with hot water and set my bread on it to rise on a cold night or in the day time in cold weather. Still another is to make a cover to fit it with a pocket on each side large enough to hold a nursing bottle, pnt bottle of milk in pocket and fill hot water bottle with hot water. It will keep the milk warm for baby and save the trouble of getting up to warm milk on a cold night. 1 1 .

For Cleaning Sewing Machine.

First place it near a fire to get warm that the congealed oil may melt, then oil it thoroughly with paraffin. Work It quickly for la fewminutes, then wipe off all the paraffin and dirt Treat ft to a very little of the machine oil, and after the application of a little more kerosene wipe H again and it will be ready, for nse. People often shirk the trouble of cleaning their machines like thii, but a clogged and heavy machine under this treatment will become like new, and Its easy working will be ample reward for the trouble incurred.

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

“While attending school at Lebanon, Ohio, In 1882, I became afflicted with bolls, which lasted for about two years, when the affliction assumed the form of an eczema on my face, the lower part of my face being inflamed most of the time. There would be water-blisters rise up and open, and Wherever the water would touch It would burn, and .cause another one to rise. After the'blister would open, the place would scab over, and would bum and itch so as to be almost unbearable at times. In this vfray the sores would spread from one place to another, hack and forth over the whole of my upper lip and chin, and at times the whole lower part of my face would be a solid sore. This condition continued for four or five years, without getting any better, and in fact got worse all the time, so much so that my wife became alarmed lest it prove fatal. “During all this time of boils and eczema, I doctored with the best physicians of this part of the country, but to no avail. Finally I decided to Try Cuticura Remedies, which I did, taking the Cuticura Resolvent, applying the Cuticura Ointment to the sores, and nslng the Cuticura Soap for washing. In a very short time I began to notice improvement, and continued to use the Cuticura Remedies until I was well again, and have not had a recurrence of the trouble since, which is over twenty years. I have recommended Cuticura Remedies to others ever since, and have great faith in them as remedies for skin diseases." (Signed) A. C. Brandon, Attorney-at-Law, Greenville, 0.. Jan. 17, 1911. Although Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold everywhere, a sample of each, with 82-page book, will be mailed free on application to "C«ttsura,” Dept L, Boston.

But Mamma Didn’t.

Little Mabel was always tumbling down and getting hurt, but as soon as her mother kissed the bumped forehead Mabel would believe it cured and ceaße crying. One day she accompanied her mother to the Union depot, and while they were seated in the crowded waiting room an intoxicated man entered the door, trjpped over a suitcase, and fell sprawling on the floor. The attention of every one was attracted to the incident: and hr the sudden silence following the fall Mabel called out: “Don’t cry, man. Mamma ’ll kiss 00, and ’en 09 11 be all right.”—Lippin cott’s Magazine. <? ,
