RULES OF 3-YEAR HOMESTEAD LAW Fnim The Irish .Ww Under the provisions of the Three Year Homestead law. the compulsory period of residence i reduced lrom five to three years. As in the General Homestead Law, however, two yean leeway is Kiven, and final proof may be sobmittei at any time after tnrve and up to five years. With regard to thU latter, one point must te borne h mind and that is that no matter what the length of residence before aubrcltt ing proof, entryman should not te ab sent from bis homestead for more than six months at any one time. Another provision of the new law stales that an absence of not more than five months out of each year in consecutive term may te granted, but letter should be first written to the lo cal land office giving number of entry, description of lands, and the dates on which entryman expects to bo absent. On his return from such aosence an other letter should be written giving the date on which he again tool, up residence. Leave of absence cannot be continued from one year to another, as for instance taking in the la?t five Months of 1912 and the first five months of 1913. While the period of residence has been reduced as above indicated, the new law is made more severe in that it requires a certain number of acres to be put into cultivation, as folkws: Beginning ith the second year from 'date of entry, at least one sixteenth of the area; beginning with the third year from date of entry and until proof is offered, at least one eighth of the area. Ibis provision applies to both 160 and 320 acre homesteada, or any part thereof. Kor inelance.jn a home stead of 80 acres, 5 acres should be put under cultivation beginning with the second year and 10 acres beginning with the third: on a homestead of 160 acres, 10 acr?e should be put under tion beginning with the second year, and 20 acres beginning with the tr.ir.l; on a homestead of 320 acres, 20 acres Further, a man may tile on 100 acres of such 'Mes-gnated" lands, under the Act of Feb. 19. 1909, and later file on an additional 160 acrea, provided same adjoining his original entrf contiguous farm and had been designated ; and provided also that he is otherwise en titled to make tiling on same.

HOW llTWATER DERIVED NAME YARDJSEAUTIFUL Suggestion For Transforming the Rear of Homes. THE LESSON OF ONE WOMAN, I From The Irish Xe ns The origin.ot the word "Fire Water" has been a mystery to many people and the following' may serve to clear up any misapprehension on the subject. When employees of the Hudson Bay Trading Company began trading among the Indians it was found that by selling Indians liquor they could more easily be induced to dispose of their peltries. The whiskey was brought over from England in large barrels and on arrival here was divided up into small kegs for j transportation rver land. Traders soon became aware of the fact that by dilut ing the whiskey with some water more Lhiakitr maa nhtainprl nvpn thnilcrh cultivd-l.
