licorice Root.

Very few people, says n writer in the
Wide World Magazine, have any idea
where the familiar licorice root comes
from. As a matter of fact, the bulk Of
it halls from Syria. Here it is gathered
and piled into great stacks. where it re-
mains until it is thoroughly dry. 1t Is
then taken TO the factory to undergo
certain processes. The finished prod
uct is used for navoring confectionery
and beer. as we'll as entering into the
makeup Of many brands of tobacco.
Some idea of the extent of the indus
try may be gathered when it is stated
that on the average 5000 tons Of dry
licorice root is shipped from Aleppo
annually. while Bagdad yields another
GQOO tons, Antioch 1000 and Damas-
Gus 500 tons.

every trace of foreign substance,
solid or gaseous, and to reduce
it to condition of absolute purity, the
water is first boiled and allowed to set
tie. II is then distilled, boiled again and
run through three kinds of filters. Un-
derneath the middle space Of the freez-
ing room is series of tanks. These
contain strong solution OF brine, and
through it run scores Of pipes which are
charged with liquefied ammonia gas
When this volatile chemical leaves the
engine room it is in the form of fluid
but in making its long journey along the
pipes which thread their way through
the brine, it evaporates into gas. The
evaporating process within absorbs so
much heat from the surrounding mass of
salt and water that the distilled water in
the rectangular ice cans submerged in
the brine is congeaed into the finest ice.
Each can of distilled water remains i'm its
cold bath about forty eight hours. Then
by means of travelling hoist, the cans
are raised from the tanks; the hoist trav-
cling forward, drops them for an instant
in well of hot water to loosen the con-
tents, raises them to the floor, the cans
are uncovered and overturned and out of
each slips a steaming cake of ice as
transparent as a pane of French plate
glass.

ed for nearly six years. She was
school teacher and George lawyer
in the same town. But Leslie earned
more than George and he would not
marry her-nor did she desire it
until he was earning enough to sup
port her at home. They had meant
to be married many years before, but
first Georges firm had failed and he
had had to set up for himself, this in
volving the expenditure of all the lit
tie hoard that had been accumulated
so carefully. Then had come period
of sickness, when all Leslie's savings
had gone on hospital and physicians
fees. Finally, just when they had be-
gun to put something aside for fur
niture, nationwide panic had cut
down Georges earnings to the bare
minimum of subsistence, and he was
only just beginning to earn a living
wage again.

And then she began to understand
why she was miserable that evening.
1t was not altogether envy of her

George and she were drifting apart.
There was no longer the sense of TO
nance, of rapture, in their meetings.
And George was growing careless. He
never asked her permission before
pulling out that old pipe of his in the
parlor. And he had said that he
would have to spruce up for Eunice
had said it brazenly, as though adj
hitting that it was not necessary to
take such a measure for her!
Leslie spent a miserable night. In
the morning Eunice arrived with the
children.
Leslie was astonished at Eunice's
appearance. She had always thought
of her as the young, immature, rather
sedate young girl with whom she had
roomed at college. Instead of which
she saw before her matronly young

the only products regularly sold being
milk and a few head of young cattle
each year. The cows are mainly reg

well bred. S%crupulous cleanliness is
observed.

size, with high priced land, pastures
are out Of the question. There Is not
even a barn lot. The thirty head of
stock remain in the barn the year
round.
The writer has never seen a thriftier.
better kept herd Of COWS. They are
fed balanced rations every day In the
year. Every feed consists Of three
parts. A portion Of II is some succu-
lent material--sllage in winter and rye,
timothy and clover, corn. peas and
oats or some other green crop In sum
mer. A second portion consists of dry
hay or fodder. This Is used to give
the proper consistency and
adds much to the convenience Of a
ing for the cows. A third portion con.
slsts of mill products, of which three
kinds are used-bran, oilmeal and gin
ten. The proportion of concentrates
fed depends on the condition of the
cow aud is regulated by the flow of
milk and the manure consistency.
The soi!lng crops used are as fol
lows: Green rye, beginning about May
| and continuing about four weeks or
until the rye is ready to cut for hay;
then timothy and clover are fed till
peas and oats are ready. When the
latter is cut for hay the silo Is opened
about July ~. and silage is fed till
