water n wheat is Essential

One OF the largest millers in the
United States, C. A. Pillsbury, Is
credited with asserting that millers do
no, dampcn their wheat before grind
ing Il. This is correct Of some millers,
bn, not OF all, and the reason Is not at
iributable to differences in millers. but
10 differences in wheat Most OF the
California wheat ground in this state
is moisiened, because Il is necessary to
do so. On the other hand. Oregon
wheat will not stand dampening, as it
contains enough water without this
treatment
On this account local millers prefer
California wheat, as they can add the
necessary water for nothing, which
they have to pay for in the Oregon ar
ticle. When shipped abroad or stored
for months at tidewater, there is less
difference. as wheat which is not moist
win become so in damp atmosphere.
California wheat when aaoat gains :
70 per cent from absorption OF moist
ure. A certain percentage OF water In
wheat Is essential to render 1t fit for
grinding, and the moisture has to be
either found in the grain or applied
artificially thereto. San Francisco

The Real Irish F-ieze.

Among the various textile products
Of Irish manufacturing skill the most
extensively known is the justify cele-
brated Irish freize. Its manufacture
has come down from time immemorial.
The process since it was first woven on
the primitive hand loom, and the sub
sequent manipulation TO prepare it for
the only garment for which it is pre-
eminently suited, the Cotha More,
(big coat or overcoat, has been handed
down from one generation of the Irish
people to another, until at the present
day the rapidly increasing steam power
looms of the Irish mills are engaged in
manufacturing friezes which are MAX
ing their way by sheer force Of real
merit in the best markets of the
world.
The chief features which distin-
guished frieze from all other cloths is
its absolute imperviousness to rain aud
its extraordinary durability. In these
it resembles the famous blankets OF
the Navajo Indians. OF course, we are
speaking of real Irish frieze, not the
counterfeit article, which is quite plen-
tiful in American markets, These
points of excellence are secured through
the peculiar method of manufacturing
the longest and best wool, selected
from the best Irish feeces, without
which there can be no genuine Irish
frieze. The process in itself is quite
simple, but tedious, demanding much
time, care and attention.
Nothing but washed wool of the long
est and strongest fiber is used. This il
first dyed, and afterward, when spun,
! is doubled so as to resemble yarn; il
fact, it is a softly-spun wooden yarn
which has not been treated by acids il
any manner, SO that the whole natura
strength of the wool fiber remains un'
impaired. This yarn is then woven, aft
err which it is put through the thicken
ing or turning process, as it is termed
This later is practically a somewha
prolonged washing or sousing of tn
cloth in carefully-prepared solution
slowly heated up to the boiling poin
and then as slowly cooled again. Thi
shrinks and consequently thickens tn
fabric which comes from the loom t
such an extent that it becomes impos
sible, after cutting the goods, to sepa
rate one thread of the cloth from an
, other, so closely are they allied and s
interdependent on one another. Tn
final operation is the dressing and fir
} ishing of the goods. From this bric
explanation it viii be perceived
