"S Old Fashioned Stone Ground Buckwheat Flour Self-rising Buckwheat Flour Pancake and Waffle Flour ARROWS ARE MADE; GOOSE, TURKEY FEATHERS USED.-- Arrows are made from either birch or pine dowels, carefully selected for straight grain and "spine." Spine is a combination of- stiffness and resiliency, which every good arrow must possess. A metal point or head is attached to one end of the shaft to ^prevent its splitting when it strikes the target or the ground, and a nock is cut on the other end large enough to fit the bowstring. Fletching or feathering is the most important step in the making of an arrow, states a writer in the New York Times, because the feathers contribute greatly to the accuracy of the shaft. Three goose or turkey feathers from the same side of the bird are used for each afrow. - They are split and cut into equal sections, their size depending upon the purpose for which the arrow is intended--whether for target, flight or field shooting. One of the feather sections, usually stained in some gay coloiy is glued on the shaft at right angles to the nock and is called file "cock" feather. The other two sections are glued at an angle of 120 degrees to the cock feather, making each equidistant from the other. After the feathers are neatly trimmed, the shaft is painted with waterproof paint of a bright color to enable it to be seen in the field or brush.

Each strand is made up of a number of twines or cords. Each twine is made up of twisted hemp fiber. The hemp fiber is twisted to the left in making up the twines. The twines are twisted to the right in making up the strands and the strands are twisted to the left again in making the finished rope. The object in twisting alternately in this fashion is that the spring-back of the fiber will keep the rope tightly rwisted together causing mutual friction Qf all fibers. This friction is increased when a load is applied to the rope. This alternate twisting also keeps the fibers lying parallel in the tope. If you will notice a rope carefully you will see that even though the rope is twisted the fibers are parallel ^ Straight in the rope. How to Make Whitewash To make a whitewash that will not rub off, says the Pacific Rural Press, slack four gallons of lime with boiling water, adding the water slowly and stirring constantly until a thin paste results. It not well stirred and the water added too rapidly the paste will be lumpy. Add about four-fifths of a gallon of salt to the lime paste and thoroughly stir. Then add water to bring it to the proper consistency for spray" ing or applying by brush. Just be? fore using, add a handful of Portland cement and a teaspoonful of ultra marine blue. The cement is said to make the whitewash adhere strongly to any surface. The bluing counteracts the grayish color of the cement and gives the surface, a snow white appearance. Mr. and Mrs. C- A.

It consists in the employment of a so^ called stripping comb, which ts a razorlike appliance fastened to what looks like a currycomb. This is run through the dog's hair, and by pressing with the fingers at the same time one trims off the coat to the desired length. This sounds quite simple, but as a matter of fact it requires considerable skill and agility in managing the instrument, and should never be attempted by one who is not experienced or who is without competent demonstration. 4&' If you have never used our All Wheat Breakfast Cereal, better try some, good for constipation..

The limbs or appendages are both balancing and steering organs in the great majority of the typical fishes.-- The in ternal ear of a fish is concerncd w'ith hearing and equilibrium. Some biologists are of the opinion that the air bladder, an organ of some fishes analogous to the lungs of air-breathing animals, also takes part in the equilibrium. How Sawdust "Wood".
