"Never use a feather duster to dust with, , for thi raises dust but doe not remove it," she continued. "A good solution to use on a dust cloth, to mo'sion it, is as follows: dissolve 112 tablesDoonfuls of carbolic! acid crystals in one quart of boiling water and add 1 ounce of glycerine. Be sure that the carbolic acid crystals are all dissolved, els there is dang er of a serious burn. This solution is a mild disinfectant and will not injure wall paper or furniture."

LAKEVIEW, OREGON UNCLE SAM SAYS TO RAISE BEETS Tlie reiiort of the United States Pe piirtment of Agriculture on tlie I'eet suar imlustry of tho United Mates in Ihe years 1910-llM 1 has lust been issued by Secretary V ilson in a 73 pane pam- 1 phlet, whioh eontainsj'articlca on the work ot the Bureau of I'lant Industry ion sugar boots, a general. review of the beet-siitr!" . industry in the United States, tho sugar-beet jin European agricultural economy, rt-lationf alup tation to the improvement of sugar beet varieties for American conditions, farm practice in the Arkansas Valley, Col orado, and sugar statistics. It is illus trated by two maps, showing area where sugar beets are grown, location of sugar factories, rainiall and frost data, and six other plates relating to the industry. The average American consumes 82 pounds of sugar each year and only 10 pounds ot that ration is now prtdiiccd in"this countrv. The farmers of the country should keep that money at home; in other words, put it in their own'poc.kets, and the Department o Agriculture has been trying tor 16 vears to show them how to do this and iniluce them to do so. Sugar is a products manufacture mainly from the farmers' sugar cane aim sugar beets. Inciilently, some sugar is produced from the sap of the sujjar maple the entire value of that product, Loth sugar and syrup, and the sorghum syrup, being only about $15, 000.000 annunully, while the total value of the sugar cane industries of this country totalled 117.000.000. 2 The cane sugar industry fared badly last year on account of the Mississippi Kiver flood, the entire production, in cluding molasses and syrup, being val ued at only $34.0000.00. Beet sugar is a comparatively recent pro'iuct of this country, and can scarce ly be raid to have exite l 20 ,ea.s ago. The production during the 12th census year (1S90) amounte i to 81,723 short tons, while the 1912 product aggregates "UO.OOO short tons valued at 73,000.000. The growth ot this inlustry and the plans for iU increase indicate thxt 1 eet raising for sugar purjo-es is tnu h de sired hy farmers for iirorit and cultural benefit to the land. There are no in operation 00 factor ies in 17 states which Used during the past season 5.()i)2,3.ni3 tons of t eet produced on 473,877 a 'res. and the in riustrv has become one of the main stays and chief supports of agriculture un !er irrigation in the semi-arid states Yet this industry t.rodueea practically only one eighth of the home consump tion. The importation from entirely foreign territory now approximates 2, 0000.00 short tons annually. A home ceet sugar production sufficient to cut off this importation wouid not affect the hon e care sugar industry adversely, because that has so nearly rea lied its limit that any possible growth it may have from ro v on will not equal the annual increase in the country's con sumption, which has considerably more thandounled in the past 25 vears, and now is greater per capita than any other country except England. With the present low average of 1 1-4 short tons of beet sugar per acre it would require 1,600,000 acres toYroduee the 2,000,000 short tons now imi orie l: or as the acreage harvested the last year was slightly less than 475, 000. it would need the production of 20,00,000 acres under beets to equal the entire hon.e i'emarid, a condition to which for more than 80 jears economists have looked forward. In the 19 states adapted to growing beets there are about 2,b00,000 farms, and 278,719,622 acres of improved land. Therefore if every farmer in those states could cultivate one acre of sugar beets some of the ( ane sugar from non contiguous territory would have to seek another market. Or, if one farmer in four of these states would plant a three a"re pntch and give it the care that could lea-iily be bestowed upon so hmall a plot, it would be unnecessary for us to buy foreign sugar. 1 wo-thirds of 1 per cent of the improved land in the states adapted to sugar beets would accomplish this result, and more than that acreage lies idle, absolutely unused every year. The devotion of the nec essary 2.000,000 acres of the production of the sugar required for our on con sumption would have an utterly insig nificant effect in reducing the acreaneof other crops, and, in, fact, the growing of the beets would actually increase the total yields of the crops, because of the effect of the beets upon the soil, for the thorough working of the soil, necessary to grow a profitable beet crop increases the yield of everything else grown on the same ground in succeed ing years, and the beets need occupy the soil bout one year of 10.
