She walked quickly along the bank, her brows drawn straight over her lovely eyes, until she came to a rustic bridge. There he stopped aped hesitated. The bridge spanned the river which divided the Nairne grounds from the meadows.

England Makes Better Bibs Than the States. { A Buffalo umbrella maker has con- fided to the Express that the main cause of rotting of the silk is the perspiration of the hands which, dur- ing the process of rolling, combines with the acids used in dyeing the silk. He says en umbrella should never be rolled. "There is another interesting thing about the umbrella business, and that is that no good umbrella ribs are made in the United States. All the best ribs come from England. That is peculiar, too, when you stop to think about how, much Americans pride themselves on their industries and how they, boast that they spare no expense in equipping their fac- tories and shops with the best ma,- , chinery. A good rib -making machine costs about $23,000. There are mil- lions invested in the umbrella buei- ness in this country, so $2x`5,000, the cost of a machine, is not the thing that is keeping American manufac- turers from making as good ribs as are made in England. I believe that the trusts find it intim profitable, for the present at least, to turn out cheap rib; for cheep umbrellas than to produce a really good article. "These English ribs cost anywhere froiu 25 to 110 cents each. The price differs acording to the material used and the care with which the ribs are enameled., The cheapest English rib is better than most of the high -price] ' American ribs. They are stronger, they are curved better, and the en- ameling will outlast the enameling , in the American waree. The English Abe can be detected rattily by looking at the braces that extend from the middle of the ribs to the circular strip that slides up and down the stick. "In the American article the end of the brace that fits against the middle of the rib proper is wedge- shaped. It comes to a point almost like the apex of a triangle. In the English 'rib this end spreads out and a bit of V-shaped metal Is inserted that strengthens the tip of the brace to a remarkable degree. American umbrella abet usually break at this place, while in the English ribs this is tbe last to give way. "As to prices. they vary like the weather. A good, serviceable umbrella with English ribs can be had for $1. You ca,n get an umbrella with Amer- ican ribs for 30 cents in Nen, York, but it will turn inside out at the lightest bit of wind. And that reminds me of another way to test for Eng- lish ribs. Open an umbrella, and if the braces bond easily and have little elasticity, they are American make. The English braves and ribs are al- most firm and always strong."

That has oe- carred on saltless butter. As mould 18 a tiny pliant or fungus, it le ina- plortant that butter makers and butter dealers should know by what means; they can entirely prevent its growth on butter p tckages, butter paler, or on the butter itself. Mould can only dome from pro -existing mould, or from spores, wirioh serve tho purpose of seed or fruit for its reproduction. If the spores be de- stroyed mould cannot begin to grow. The conditions favorable for its growth are a certain degree of damp- ness and a moderately Iow temper- ature—that is to say, a tempera- ture below sixty degrees. Some forms of mould grow at tempera- tures as low as 32 degrees fakir., or the freezing point of water. Formalin is an Effective Fungicide, or, In other worde, it is a. destroyer 'of fungi and of the spores of fungi. A weak solution of formalin is effec- tive for the destruction of spores of mould. A good course for the butter maker to follow is to prepare a strong brine of salt, adding one ounce of, formalin to one gallon of the %trine. The butter paper should be peaked in this solution. The inside of all butter packages should,also be rinsed with. it. The butter aper; while aid wet with the brine con •taming formalin, should be placed W- ieide butterbox,and the butter,: e t b r mmediately packed in it. The brine containing the formalin will destroy: all spores cf mould on the butter paper and on the inside of tbe bore A brine oan be used for a long period if it be boiled once a week. As the formalin evaporates dacring the boil- ing process, it will be necessary to add to every gallon of brine, after it has boiled and cooled, one ounce or formalin. Proper Cooling. For the protection of the batter which is to be shipped to the Uni- ted Kingdom, it Is important that the butter be cooled to a tempera- ture under 88 degrees fahrenheit. from the second day after it 10 made. When butter is allowed to remain at a high temperature changes begin which spoil its dell-.

A temperature of 20 de- grees fahreeheit is still better. 3 ROOTS AND SWINE During the last two or three years a great deal of interest has been taken In the subject of feeding roots to swine. Formerly a prejudice ex- isted against them on account of an idea that their use was responsible for a considera.ble portion of the soft bacon produced In the Canadian packing houses at certain seasons of the year. Careful experiment has shown, however, that roots can be fed in moderate quantities, combined with other feed, without any injur- ious effects on the quality of the pork produced. As heavy root crops can be easily and economically grown in nearly all those portions of Can- ada where swine raising is carried on extensively, the fact that roots can be profitably fed without injury to the bacon, and with positive bene- fit as far as the general thrift of the animal is concerned, becomes of considerable importance to our farmers. Value of Roots. Eight pounds of mangels or carrots and about the same weight or a little less of sugar beets are equal in value to one pound of grain. This is the consensus of opinion of the Copenhagen, Ottawa and several American experiment stations. At Copenhagen the mangels were fed finely cut and raw, and even when one-fourth of the daily feed was given in the form of roots no injur- ious effects were noticed in the quality of the pork. The grain per head in ten days on a ration bait grain and half whey or milk was 7.6 pounds, whereas when the grain was replaced by roots after the pro- portion of 1 to 10 the increase was found to be 8.8 and 8.6 lbs. When half the gram was replaced by roots in proportion of 1 to 8 the growth of the different lots was pretty near- ly . the game, viz , 8.5 lbs. for the grain fed pigs, and - 8.6 lbs. for those fed roots, thus showing a small dif- ference ifference in favor of the latter. In this experiment it must be noted that the pigs had been fed roots previously, and consequently took them readily. Value of carrots. In experiments with nearly 000 pigs on various estates in Denmark it was found that carrots and man - gels containing equal quantities of dry matter, had similar value in pig feeding; in other words the amount of dry matter in roots is of import- ance rather than the total weight or the quantity of sugar contained. Potatoes. In a number of Danish experiments four of cooked potatoes gave prac- tically tho same gain as one pound of grain. Tubo quality of pork pro- duced from potato feeding is espe- cially good as has been shown by numerous experiments in England, Ireland, Denmark and Canada. In this connection Prof. Grisdale, of the Central Experimental Farm, says; "Potatoes are frequently available for feeding pigs especially small po- tatoes. All experimental work here with potatoes seems to indicate that fed raw, they are of very little nu- tritive value, but when cooked they aro worth about one-qu'artor ser much as mixed grain." , Articbokes. leave a feeding value similar to that of potatoes. Turnips have not been found as satisfactory as mangels or sugar beets for swine feeding, either is amount of gain produced or in the readiness with which they are eat- en by pigs. Indeed, no other roots seems more satisfactory considering the yield per acro, palatability and feeding value, than the large red niangel. Proportion of Roots to Grain.—Th'e experiments conducted by Prof. Day, Prof. Grisdale and myself, as well as tho experience of many of our best farmers indicate that the most econ- omical and satisfactory ration for swine feeding contains equal parts by weight of grain and roots. The addition of about & lbs. per day of ekim milk or whey will got far to in- sure thrifty growth and fine qual- ity of pork. F. W.

Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine, It is the tencleecy of every cold to develop into bronchitis, consump- tion or some form of lung trouble. Bronchitis is most dreaded, because it Betas a tendency to become chronic and return again and again, until the patient ,becomes worn out or falls an easy prey to consumption or pneumonia. Only the most robust constitution can throw off broncbltis. Aged people, children and all who are in delicate health or havo weak lungs have every reason to fear this ailment., . If the cough is dryand hard ; if there is pain, soreness or tightness in the chest ; if breathing is difficult and causes pain in the chest, you have every reason to suppose that ,you have ,bronchitis, and should promptly begin iho esti of Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Tur- pentine. Cough mixtures that may help an ordinary cold have no effect on bron- chitis and asthma, but Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Tnrpentino has won its enviable reputation on ac- count of its wnnderfnl success in' curing these ailments. It is far more than a mere cough medielne4. and acts on the whole system, thole' oughly eradicating disease. Mr. John Clark, coach ;man, Pont: Hope, Ont., states : "Being exposed to all sorts of weather, I frequently catch cold.
