Both are made same a...,�rxae bush and both are equally pure. The difference is in; the process of manufacture which gives each a different flavour. Black Tea after it is plucked is withered and partially 'fired' or dried, then allowed to oxidize by being exposed to the air. This gives Black Tea its dark reddish colour when drawn. Green tea is immedi- ately steamed after plucking, which pre- vents oxidization. There are delicious blends of "SALADA" in both of these types and also a unique blend of Black and Green Tea Mixed. All are sold in. four qualities. eS BY S. R. CROCKETT. CHAPTER XL—Continued. Matthew Armour stook in froet of hi, son -in -lave • T have s••on:-what te, say to you, h:• began.

Now the laird of erne was a road trustee, and his word had power with the sprveyar,. So in a few days Mat- thew Armour, with an equal mind and with his natural strength yet un- abated by the creeping chills of old ago, went out to break atoms, upon tite roadsides of Whinnyliggate. And that strong-heartaed community, per- lmated to the. cure with the republi- can equalities of three hundred years of Presbytery, thought neither • the better nor the worse of him -for the change. His sons scattered, two of 'them becoming porters on the railway et Cairn Edward, and Rob, who for various reasons desired to remain near his father and mother, entering intp the employ of the laird of Crae as junior forester. Betty Landsborough accompanied her master and mistress to their new. abode, She bad, her oAm views upon the matter, though perhaps she did not reveal all her motives to the world at large. "I ken brawly that I could get anther place," she said, -when her mistress remonstrated with her; "but I'm no pun Name where I'm no wanted and no needed, • I can do bravely withoot wages in the mean- , tirne. ean;time.

He dropped the rope instantly and sprang like a, cat at the throat of Walter Mac Walter, fastening his teeth in his neck and gripping bnth hands into his fall black beard. The force of the assault and its unexpectedness to- gether brought Donald's enemy to the ground. The lawyer tried to pull him off,' but though battered with powerful' fists in front, and pulled at least ade- quately. from •behind, Kit held his grip with a tierce blind determination. At last he was thrown off, only to rush again to the assault. But the big cattle -dealer gathered him up with a hand in his collar, as he might have done a small game dog that had no chance in a battle withe one great-.' :y its .uperior in size.

Unfortunately they -were not able to successfully bring seed tubers through the winter, so that they faced the spring without seed. The possibilities of the sweet potato as an interplanted crop to use until the young orchards. of the dis- trict came. into bearing were of such interest and value that there was no question of discontinuing the experi- ments.

In all, some 13,000 planta were set out. The 1924 season was an unusuui one for the Oliver district, featuring extreme heat, a high wind storm in July and cool spells later. All crops were con- siderably affected In growth and yield, the sweet potatoes, which require a clear 100 days of growing season, be- ing naturally very seriously retarded. The various Jersey types yielded a very small crop of marketable sweets, and as a good proportion of these had been planted, tine average was very'. much reduced. The three moist varie- ties, however, yielded at the rate of half a pound per plant -of marketable potatoes."At from 8,000 to 1.0,000 Plants per acre, at tilts rate of yield," writes Mr, Mitchell, "sweet potatoes would be quite profitable to grow, the price prevailing in 1924 being seven cents per pound f;o;b.
