one morning, Dugar was awakened
by noise and on investigating found
that the boys had robbed him Of his
pocketbook, containing some Ss5.
He Immediately gave chase and sue
ceeded in capturing Sherwood and
the pocketbook, but on opening it
found that ii contained only 80.

Adulterated Brans and Mixed Feeds.

Adulterated Brans and Mixed Feeds.
Some months ago the Maine exper-
iment station reported finding upon
the market of that state considerable
quantities of bran and mixed feeds
which were seriously adulterated.
The same thing is to be found in
Vermont to some extent. The eXper-
iment station at Burlington states
that in the course Of its inspection
work under the state law,it has found
one sample of bran worth but little
more than half what standard bran
should be worth, that sample of
much the same character has been
sent in from another portion of the
state, and that attempted sales of
mixed feeds of known low grade have
been reported.
The state law requiring the inspec-
ton of feeding stuffs for cattle does
not cover bran, middlings, etc, and
adulteration may go ON in this class
of goods Unchecked except by the
watchful eye Of the buyer.
Each and every buyer of this class
of goods may, however, if he will,
protect himself by sending samples to
the station for free analysis. lie will
do well before buying to investigate
as to the source of the bran and to
refuse any which does not bear a
brand stating its origin.
1t is only proper to remark that
of this class of goods is
still relatively rare and should be
guarded against. In particular one
should look askance at any goods sell
ing below the market price Expert

How Hats Pencils Ar Mad..

Slate pencils were formerly all cut
from slate just as it is dug from the
earth. Pencils SO made were objected
to on account Of the grit which they
contain To overcome this di1nculty.
says the London Engineer, Col. ID. NJ.
Steward devised an ingenious process
by which the slate ID ground to 4 very
fine powder, all grit and foreign SUD-
stances removed and the powder bolt
ed through silk cloth much In the
same manner as -four IL boltcd. Tho
powder is ttea made into dough and
this dough 10 subjected to very heavy
hydraulic pressure, which presses the
pencils out the required shape and d.
ameter. but in lengths of about three
foet- While yet soft the pencils are
cut into the desired lengths and set
out to dry in the open air. After they
are thoroughly dry the pencils are
placed in steam baking kilns. where
they receive the proper temper.
