Success on some baking days
can be expected no matter

be assured in only one' way.
The miller , must select his
wheat by oven test.
So from each shipment of
wheat we take ten pounds as
a sample. We grind this into
flour. Bread is baked from
the flour.
If this bread is high in quality,
large in quantity, we use the
shipment from which it came. e
Otherwise we sell it.

Crimes of violence are on the in- .

Mounted Police, which was issued re-

Devious, three infanticide, and the
remainder were caused by jealousy,
lest and revenge.
There were entered by the police
during the last fiscal year 15,449
cases. This is 1,550 more than the
year before, and there were 12,985
convictions. There were 2,135 cases
of vagrancy, which illustrates the
floating nature of the population.
Many were tramps, beating their -way

On Sept. 30 last the strength of the
police force was 55 officers, 708 non-

and 572 horses. This is an increase
of one officer and 108 non-commis-
sioned officers and constables. There
are 26 new detachments, three of
which are on the route to the Che-

Lemieux Persisted.
IIon. Rodolphe Lemieux is one of
the finest English-apealcing orators
on the French side of the Canadian
Commons, but it was not always thus.
Old Parliamentarians have a pain-
ful recollection of his first speech in
•
the House of Common.,, He blunder-
ed, stammered, and finally sat down
in utter confusion without having
impressed his thoughts on his audi-
ence: After the awkward 'silence
had been broken and the wheels of
procedure were revolving again, an
old gentleman rose up from his seat
on the Conservative side of the House
and, crossed over tc the Liberal side,

Cheered by this timely advice, M
Lemieux did "keep at it," and reape

Concrete Tanks and Troughs
Never Rot or Leak
HE most practical tanks, whether f, r water or
sewage, are built of concrete. They never rust,
rot, -dry out or leak. They never need new hoops
1 or paint. They last a lifetime and seldom require repairing,
which makes them the cheapest tanks that can be built.
Clean; Sanitary Watering Troughs
are just as necessary as the animals that drink from them. The
farmer's' best interests are being served when his stock •is .in-
sured a plentiful supply of clear, clean water from a trough
that is permanent and sanitary.
