Percentage , of `'lr igher Grades
of Wool Steadily Increasing
in ' Canada.
At September lst, according to the
CanadianCo-operative Wool Growers,
the Canadian wool clip was 'practical-
ly all out of the individual growers'
hands, whilst a very large part of the
wool . held by the smaller dealers had
also -been cleaned up. , The clip for
1924.is estimated at 12,000,000 to 13,-
00'0,000 :pounds, and;wili .have a value
to the growers of a little under $4,000,-
000 :The division_ of the clip •is • ap-
proximately the same as last year,
When Ontario accounted' for 5,024,399
pounds, Alberta 1,387,247 pounds, Que-
bec 4,682,602 pounds, and Nova Scotia.
1,455,585 pounds. The 1924. clip is
stated . to be higher in quality -than
other years. •
In late years a virtual revolution has•
been wrought, in the wool industry of
Canada through co-operative grading
'and marketing. A short while age
coneperatively, the wool produced in
Canada was offered .for. sale in such an
unsatisfactory -statethat even Cana-
dian Znanufacturers'_regarded the•' do-
mestic . .product ` with indifference;
which 'naturally precluded any exten-
sive sale's - an foreign markets. To -day

• Export and Domestic Consumption.
Approximately half of the wool clip,
of Canada :remains in Canada for
manufacture. In the last fisca'year
r
the Dominion exported 6,009,079
'hounds worth $1,947,234, as against 1,-
034,433 pounds worth $242,045 in 1922:
The United States was the heaviest
purchaser, taking ,5,261,899 pounds
worth $1,674,005, followed by' the
United Kingdom with 706,028 pounds
worth $259,59.3. According to report,
there in somewhat of a change in the
trend of exports in 1924, and, contrary
to other years., the United Kingdoiu is
buying Canadian -wool to a greater ex-
tent than the United States. A feature I
of the present year Is that about 60'•
per cent. of 'the Western Canadian ;
wool clip, or -between 500,000 and 750,- 1
000 pounds, has been. purchased for
combing in Canada for the first time.

• Wool 'Growers 'has `,given a very `bright l
future to the sheep -raising and wool-
, production indaistries in Canada. This
is, one phase of Canadian . agriculture
in which, there is much room far ex
pension, and as to the entering of "
which there is every justification for,
encouragement.- Thesheep resources ;
of Canada are `mare or lees' unlimited'
and there is abundance. of waste land •
in most of the provinces admirably
a'uited for sheep raising. Furthermore
• •t:here are many farms, particulaly 1n
Wester Canada, that are yet carrying
no sheep.
Canada Admirable for Sheep Raising.
The climate and natural topography
of the country is admirably suited to
"the raising of sheep. In Eastern Can-
' ada on mixed farm lands, ''and in 'the
grain belt •of Western Canada, the
small flock of ten to fifty ewesr is gen
-erally kept. These flocks can be main-
tained at little expense and return an
excellent revenue for the 'labor re-:
reared and the money invested.. In the
rougher parts of Eastern Canada and
in some disitriote of Manitoba larger
flocks' of from 'one to several hundred
head are -kept under semi -ranching
conditions. There are still available
many areas suitable for the carrying.
of flocks of this size. In Southwestern
Saskatchewan, Southern and parts` of
Northern .Alberta and- in British Col-
uanbia, sheep ranching is, practised
quite extensively, but even in these pro-
vinces there are tracts of land avail -
',able for ranching ar semi -ranching.
purp os'es,
It is considered that the sheep situa-
tionat the present time la quite bright
and the outlook very encouraging.
Weal produced from Canadian sheep
in the East and West is of a very high
quality for each respective grade. As
result of Government grading `Cana-
dian wool is purchased freely en a
graded basis in the United States and'.
United Kingdon): as well as in Canada.
The Canadian' ' •Co-operative Wool
Growers haVe salved the question Of
marketing. The percentage athe
higher grades of wool is steadily in-
creasing in Canada, and it is confident-
ly , expected that wool production in
Canada will materially increase With-
in the'next few years.

Racial Origin -Teutonic.
Source—A given name.
The. Normans left. their stamp not
only on England, but upon, all Europe,
for �ghile they colonized by no means
all the latter, there was a period in
medieval • times • when , the Norman
arms had subdued about all of the
European continent, and - Norman
rulers held away in Italy, Spain,
France and parts of what is now Ger-
-many, as well as in England.
Nor did the Normans have to• do
more than merely rule most of these
sections to leave among them, as one,
of their legacies, the given name of
Richard. Meaning -"stern king," it
was 'naturally a name to appeal to
such a warlike and; dominating race
as these Teutons of the middle' ages,
and one which naturally became usual
among. . the various Norman families
ruling inrdiffeient sections_of Europe.
In turn king's names were, generally
popular among the- populace• ,.lin all
lands. Hencee it became a widespread
given- name first, and then a family
name throughout most of Europe.
Richeson,'as well 'as Richards, is a
shortened form of Richardson, ' and
Richey, Ritchie, and Richie are short-
enings of Riclfeson. Rickey -and Ric-
ketts and Ricket are deyelopments of
names .formed from nicknames of
Richard:through the -bee of the diminu-
tive `eliding "ot" Rickert, Rickards,'
Rickert and Ricker show German in-
fluences, while Riccardi and Ricciardi
are natural pronunciations of the
Italian: tongue. Reichard is found in
Alsace and Lorraine.''

By Driving the Poisonous Acid
From the System.
Rheumatism attacks people when
the blood is thin and watery, or
charged with impurities, thus setting.
up inflammation of the muscles and
joints. Cold, wet weather or sharp
winds may start the pains, but the
cause is rooted in the blood and to get
relief it must be treated through the
blood. As a blood builder and nerve
tonic Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are un-.
surpassd, and for that reason do net
fail to give relief to rheumatic suffer-
ers when •given a fair trial. Among
the rheumatic sufferers who have
proved the great value of this medi-
cine is Mrs. Simeon J. Tatton, Indian
Head, Sask., who says: -"For over
two years I was -an intense sufferer
from rheumatism and until I began the
use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills no
treatment that I took helped me any.
The trouble grew so bad that I could I
not move around the house without
help, and finally I had to give up and
go to' bed. Words cannot tell how
much I -suffered, and I could not bear
to have .anyone come near me. Finally
one of my neighbors strongly urged
me to try Dr. Williams' Pink. Pills, and
I decided to do so. in the course of a
few weeks I could feel an improve-
ment, and I was able to get up. I kept
on taking the pills until all traces of
the trouble were gone, and I could
again do my housework, feeling like
a new person. Three years have pass-
ed since that and there has never been
he:slightest return of, .the trouble, so
that I feel safe in saying
that the re-
lief

lief brought by this medicine is per-
manent."

Harvesting the Mint.

and the','pretty blue flowers' of this
sweet-smelling plant . ars: ,fast fulling

During the past eleven. montes the
distillery has been Silent. Now it is
busy night and day,as carloads of the
"herb," as it is, called are tossed
through the large door of its: upper
' door, and the air is filled with a pun-
gent odor at first well-nigh overpower-
ing.
On this upper boor are two huge,
copper -like stills,' each with its huge
• lid, or "Gap," suspended above it.; The
bottom is perforated so that the steam
may rise -easily to the •mint.
Three boilermen load the stills, and
as soon as they are brimful the cap is'
lowered and sealed by a water'suction
arrangement fitted round the brim.
Meanwhile 'the boileri an ge1,9 up
steam until 401b. is registered, at
which degree of heat the steain.is al -i
lowed to pase into the well-filled still.'
Each load takes seven hours to dis-
til, and the oil and water flaw down in-
to the separator on the ground floor.
To prevent tampering with the ._ pre-
cious.,liquid, this in' kept locked in a
cage, of which the charge than alone
possesses a key. The process' of dis-
tilling ended, he unlocks the cage,
takes out the separator, and pours- the
oil into large blue bottles.
A ton of herb usually yields 81b. to
lolb. of oil, and few of the'tourists re-
turning from Paris enraptured with
the choice liqueurs of that capital
realize that the main ingredient, alco-
