A discovery and its outcome. A
story OF linens. Sixteen years ago
our Linen Chief, travelling among
the linen makers Of Germany STUN
bled across a gem-a tiny linen fac.
tory that could have been set in It's
entirety on couple Of city lots.
But its ruling spirit was genius and
the linens he was producing shore
by comparison with the best il all
Germany. We bought few and
ordered more and the firm of A. L.
Stilier & Sohn had stepped TO the
fame it deserved, Yearly the orders
grew, and the factory at Sorau to,
day is ten times the size OF the biiou
we first found.
Stiller linens are unmatchably
good.
Sturdy, slightly stuffs whose char
acteristics are being unsuccessfuIly
aped by makers far and wide. We
have their product for retail distri-
hution-or rather his product, for tie
elder Stiller has been dead these
four years. The son succeeded to
the business in its entirety-and the
qualities that won him high military
rank have ample play in the life
work he has taken up.
lrelandmakeS some damasks more
elegant in design. So does France.
You love them and pay their price.
Those linens for high-days. The
Stiller linens for three hundred and
sixty days of the year.
The first 1897 shipment is here
important news because we haven't
been able to get the goods quickly
enough. Staple values, but best
picking now, for variety.

Beet Sugar Seed.

The beet sugar seed which the Agricul-
tural Department lras been distributing is
practically exhausted, about 1O, 900 pounds
having been sent to out farmers in about
four fifths of the States The seeds has
been distributed in packages of from an
ounce to half pound purely for expert
mental purposes. The beet grown from
the seed will be analayzed and saccharine
matter determined to ascertain where
beets can be profitable grown for the pro-
duction of sugar. These experiments, it
is believed, will be of immense value, as
the beet undoubtedly can be produced
with profit in many of the states Where
ever it can be so produced it will give the
farmer new crop. All the surplus veg
etable seed in the possession of the Agri
cultural Department is being distribut ed
through Congressman or Government,
agency, to the people in the flooded dis
tricts along the Mississippi for planting
as soon us the waters subside.

Tobacco Farming.

In Connecticut there is hardly a farmer
who does not raise tobacco. The Connectl-
cut leaf is particularly valuable for wrap
ping purposes. and also excels in flavor
In Ohio the growers say that the total
expenses their crops average $s5 per acre,
but they find tobacco growing profitable
even at those figures. There is said to
be growing belief among American to-
bacco consumers that home grown tobacco
equals the imported articles. Tobacco is
grown in at least a dozen states, Pennsyl-
vania leading in the amount OF produc-
ton, while Ohio has $4,000 acres given
up to the culture. and an average crop OF
100000 pounds.
