FACTS.
The shrinking of wool
en- cloth before it is cut is
as important, to produce
a garment so that it will
keep its shape, as thor
oughly seasoned lumber
is necessary for good cab
met work. We Find by
actual experience that
wooden goods lose in mea-
sure by cold water shrink
age from five to eight per
cent. of their length. We
recently shrunk a piece of
fine wooden cloth which
was fifty yards in length
and lost four yards in
measure. If it had been
made up without being
shrunk, the first time the
garment was wet it would
have been ruined, as the
coat sleeves would have
skunk at least two in
ches and the rest of the
garment in the same pro-
portion, and the trousers
would have shortened a.
bout four inches. This will
explain to many why the
clothing they have been
wearing did not retain its
shape. ALL TIE CLOTHING
OF OUR MANUFACTURE is
COLD WATER snRUNK. Keep
that in mind when you are
buying clothing.

while butchers may not have sold beef
as cheap as they could afford, when cat
tie were plenty and low in price, still
they responded quickly to an advance
in the price of cattle and throughout
the length and breadth Of the land
there has gone forth o universal howl
at the advance in the price Of beef. An
advance of $3.50 to 81 per cwt. in live
cattle means an advance Of from three
to five cents per pound in the net
weight, ard instead Of rejoicing at this
new and much needed prosperity for
the farmer and feeder, these protested
friends of both feel the effect on their
own purses and although stultlfying
their past utterances. now urge con-
sumers to stop buying beef until the
price is reduced.
With low prices for beef year after
year farmers were becoming discour-
aged, and have been selling cows and
calves determined to quit losing game,
and now when there is again ray OF
hope for the cattle business. those who
heretofore had championed their cause
are the first in the field urging a boy

Better Prices for Cattle.

Grass fattened cattle are usually low
in price, and so are COWS. heifers and
immature cattle when fed on corn cost
ing 20 to % cents per bushel, but when
the price Of grain is doubled 1t requires
close figuring for the farmer to realize
from the fattened animals. commonly
known as butcher stock. the price Of
the grain fed writes John Cownie, in
Rural Life. But this class of cattle are
now exceptionally scarce. for farmers
have lost so much in their endeavOrs to
supply the markets in the spring time
with butcher stock. that with the con-
ditions existing last autumn they con-
eludsd to abandon the business.
In consequence fat COWS and heifers
are scarce and 1t is difficult to supply
the local demand, and cattle not intend
ed for the butcher are being sacrificed
simply because the price offered seems

Criminal Wanted to Give His Watch to

The influence of Sherlock Holmes
seems to have spread among the Grimm

run them to earth, but there is one

Just regard for the efficiency of the
police force At the conclusion Of his
trial in Manchester the other day, Just
after he had been convicted and the
Justice, in severe words Of condemna-
ton had pronounced an extended sem
tence upon him, Dean addressed the
court and asked permission to bestow
his gold watch and chain, together
worth, as he said, more than ESQ, upon
the detective who had arrested him.
Deans little speech was concluded after
this fashion: This brave fellow de-
serves such a present, seeing that he
has succeeded where more than half
his brother officers have failed within
the tast year and a half" Naturally
the court refused to allow the present
to be made, and as the prisoner was
led away he shook his head sadly and
exclaimed: "It is shameful for the
English that the detectives who serve
them so well, should be rewarded so
poorly"
