I have a confession: I coordinated three years of sneaker trials for a sister magazine of Better Homes & Gardens, and in the process learned all of the best practices for shoe care along the way. Despite that intel, and despite the fact that everyone from appliance brands like Maytag to footwear companies like Nike advise against it, I sometimes toss my shoes in the dryer.

But if I clean my canvas shoes or sneakers in the washer and allow them to dry for a full day, sometimes they still leave me with wet feet.

So sometimes, when I’m desperately seeking the pair of shoes to wear with a particular outfit, I have carelessly tossed wet shoes into the drum and pretended like I didn’t hear the “thud-thud-thud” echoing across my townhome. It’s probably not the wisest move for the longevity of the shoes—or the dryer.
After spending a week traipsing through vineyards in my once-white Converse Chuck Taylors, I was passing time in the airport. In what felt like a moment of kismet, I was scrolling through social media waiting for our boarding call, and came across a TikTok trick that practically had me sprinting to the laundry room when I arrived home. (Hey, my curious streak runs deep! Plus, I had “research” to do.)

Barns are a staple of the average homestead or farm. You need a barn for multiple purposes. Either it is to store your produce of grain, or to keep the livestock fodder dry and safe. Or you need space to keep the livestock itself, if not the tractor that you use on your farm. Barns are large enough for storage yet small enough to not take up too much land space.
The Homestead Act first came into effect in 1862 when President Abraham Lincoln signed the bill to promote homesteading where a homesteader would be provided with a land to build a home, farm the land for a minimum of 5 years and make some improvements. This Act provided 160 acres of land to the people willing to homestead in exchange for a small filing fee and the amendments that followed increased the allotments further promoting homesteading in the US. This is now no longer in effect and ended in 1976 with the introduction of Federal Land Policy and Management Act. However, homesteading was allowed until 1986 only in Alaska.
