Alfred Mansell, of Shrews- bury, Eng, Tells of the Tricks of the Trade. Shoddy is the great feature in the trade of one of the leading towns of the Heavy Woolen District of York- shire, and it is well known that the mills do turn out an enormous weight of goods, the material being comhosed mostly of shoddy, cotton and the like. Sixteenpcnce to eigh" teenpence per yard (broad width), is the price of these so-called Woolen gOOGS. and plenty of attractive fab rics are made at. less. it is also stated that Scotch man- ufacturers of tweeds, who hitherto used no shoddy, have had to resort. to its use in order to compete with the composition of similar articles if“‘3’er Composed of shoddy produc- fll in several Yorkshire towns and elsewhere. The manufacture of artificial Noolsâ€"and it is somewhat difficult to understand the designation â€" is said to be a large industry supplying manufacturers with a cheap substi- tute for the real article. In speaking of the trade of an- Dther towu in the Heavy Woolen Dis- irict, the Yorkshire Observer says It is noted for its classical cloths. cheap ‘dress meltons. dyed in classiâ€" :al shades, which find their cheap Markets in Greece and the Levantine ports. If all goes well there is a great future fc. ' hese goods. The lwills and serge; produced here are in great favor with wholesale cloth- ers, and, combined with an export lemand, a steady trade re5ults the vhole year round Into the comâ€" losition of the higher grades a per- entage of wool enters, but it is rinall. THE CHEAP COSTUMES .vhich adorn windows of many man- ile shops are made in this locality. l‘weeds and mantle cloths from ls. ld. per yard, form another important oranch, and are made largely Lhroughout this neighborhood. Speaking of military and police llothes, "strength being the test," here is little room for mungo or Ihoddy, and even the tender wool :aused by the Australian drought is riot admissible. A wellâ€"known Yorkshire firm reâ€" A BENEFIT TO FARMERS. The benefits that will undoubtedly yesult to farmers from the recent inâ€" :orporation of the International Harvest Company which took over .‘,he business of the five loading har- vester manufacturers have probably :01; been considered by a large por- ion of the farming community. The economical necessity of a. con- -olidation of the interests of manuâ€" acturers and those of their farmer :ustomers must be apparent to any one who understands the present sit- dation. The increased and increasing cost of material, manufacturing and sellâ€" ngâ€"the latter in consequence of exâ€" :i'eme and bitter competition be- :xvccn manufacturers and their severâ€" al selling agentsâ€"has made the busi- ness unprofitable. The two alternatives left for the manufacturers were either the in- :reasing of the prices of machines or the reduction of the cost of manufacâ€" lure and sales. The latter could on- y be accomplished by concentrating lhe business in one company. As can readily be seen, the form- ng of the new company was not a ltock-jobbing-opcration but a cen- lering of mutual interests. There 5 no watered stock; the capitaliza- Lion is conservative and represented >y actual and tangible assets. There s no stock offered to the public, it laving all been subscribed and paid by the manufacturers and their asâ€" .iociates. The management of the Internaâ€" lional IIarVester Company'is in the lands of well~known, experienced men. The officers are: President, Cyrus E. McCormick; Chairman Executive Committee, Charles Deering; Chairâ€" :nan Finance Committee, George W. Perkins; Vice-Presidents, Harold F. 'llcCormick, James Deering, Wm. H. fonts and John J. Glessner: Secre- lary and Treasurer, Richard F. ilowe. The members of the Board )f Directors are as follows: Cyrus Bentley, William Deering, Charles leering, James Deering, Eldridge M. Towlcr, F. H. Gary, John J. Glcs- iner. Richard F. Howe, Abram M. Iyntt, William H. Jones, Cyrus H. .[cCormick, Harold F. McCormick, leo. W. Perkins, Norman D. Ream, lCSliC N. Ward, Paul D. Cravath. The International Harvester Comâ€" rany owns five of the largest liar- ester plants in existence, The Chamâ€" iion, Peering, McCormick, Milwau- lee and Planoâ€"plants that haVe been iroducing nearly or quite 90 per 'lc-nt. of the harvesting machines of .he world. It also owns timber and coal lands, blast furnaces and a steel plant; it ias a new factory in the process of :onstruction in Canada. It is believed that the cost of pro- ducing grain, grass and corn har- vesting machines will be so reduced that the present low prices can be continued, and that consequently the results cannot be otherwise than beneficial to the farmer. To main- tain the present prices of these ma- chines mcans to continue and in- crease the development of the agri- culture of the world, for no one cause has contributed or can contri- bute more to this development than the cheapness of machines for harâ€" vesting grains , Well Made. Pure flour and pure yeast do not necessarily mean good bread. It may be spoiled in the making. Just so: material is not everything. Prof. W. Hodgson Ellis, Official Analyst to the Dominion Govern- ment, after a number of analyses, re- ports that ‘»‘ Sunlight Soap is a pure and well-made soap." “ Well made " means more than you think. Try Sunlight Soapâ€"Octagon Barâ€"next wash day, and you ‘ will enjoy the benefits of a “well-made" soap, and will see that Prof. Ellis is right. No one should know better than he. 21!: wan _.__.________.â€".___. plying to an enquiry on the subject states: “There is so much mixing done nowadays to bring goods in at such low prices, that it takes a. very good man to tell what there is in some of the manufactured articles." In the ' Yorkshire Post's Annual Trade Review for December 7th, 1901, a 54-inch cloth is spoken of which sells at ls. 1d. per yard, which is composed of all shoddy, but is classed as woolen fljoods. The Hon. Geo. W. Wallace. Sante Fe, New Mexico, in an able article on "Substitutes for W001," recites-a statement by a commission house in the trade that 90 per cent. of wool- en goods contain cotton, and that in 45 per cent. the proportion of cot~ ton is and, when in addition to ades under a score of aliases, such as shoddy, mungo, wastes, flocks, loom flyings, Wool extracts, noiIs, Wool stock, manufactured W001 jute yarn, etc., etc., the wonder is not that the sales of wool fall 'off so largely, but that. any wool is used at all. ~ I thoroughly agree with his deduc- tion, and also in his statement that the adulterated cloth has neither the wear nor the warmth of honest wool- en goods. Mr. Wallace continues by stating that an expert witness be- fore the Ways and Means Committee of the Fifty-fourth Congress, testi- fied that the first-class large worst- ed mills of the United States had put in the French and German pro- cess by which shortâ€"wool fibres could be used. This is a fact which speaks for itself. Quoting further from the same V source, an English correspondent of an American pa- per writes: “I give designs and par- ticulars for two most excellent cloths. The worsted panting will make a cloth particularly adapted to the American taste, and it can be made very well on a cotton-backed cloth and mungo filling." Again a. trade journal in a. technical article 'says: “The proper finishing of low- grade face goods requires great skill and care, as generally such goods contain a large ‘ PERCENTAGE OF COTTON in both warp and filling, the amount of wool being only sufficient to form a face to cover the cotton, and it is seldom of the best quality." Quoting Mr. Mulhaser, the greatest manufacturer of shoddies in the United States, Mr. Wallace gives the annual consumption of shoddy in the United States at 40,000,000 pounds, displacing 120,000,000 pounds of wool. The National Life Stock Association of America puts the figures for 1900 as folldws: (and this I presume refers to the U. S. only): Shoddy used in 1900, ’74,- 000,000 pounds, displacing 222,000,- 000 pounds of wool, or equal to 72 per cent of all the wool in the Unit- ed States that year. In other words it displaced wool in quantity to that clipped from 42,990,000 out of 61,- 415,000 sheep owned in the United States. Therefore but for this shoddy there would have been used' 22,000,000 more pounds of wool. An incident is given of the discov~ ery by accident of the fact-that a. most reputable (1’) and well-known manufacturer, who had a. contract to supply the Government with 50,000 army blankets, was found to be stuffing the same with shoddy to the extent of 50 per cent. Cotton is al- so introduced into blankets made in England, and in some cases, exceeds over 50 per cent. of the material used. The rapid increase in the use of shoddy in the United States is shown by the following figures: In 1860 thirty establishments had an annual output of a value of $400,- 000; in 1890 the census showed ninetyâ€"four establishments and a product'value at $9,208,011; _._.___+__.__.. BLACKBERRY PEST. Blackberries thrive more luxuriant- ly in Australia than in Europe 01' America, their growth being so ra- pid that in many places they are reâ€" garded as an agricultural pest. Like the first rabbits, the original black- berry vines have grown and multiâ€" plied until they bid fair to cover the face of the country. The bushes are not cultivatedâ€"they can look after themselves, as many Austral- ian agriculturists are painfully awareâ€"but the jam made from their fruit, is sufficiently tempting to make one forget their unwelcome presence on the farm.

TWU LETTERS. HAS NOT CHANGED HIS MIND IN SEVEN YEARS. This Correspondent Tells More Emphatically Than Perhaps Anything Could, the Perfect Per- manency of Cures Made by Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Gelert, Ont., Sept. 1.â€"â€"(Special) â€"~ Mr. Samuel Kernahan, of this place, is a wonderful example Dodd's Kidney Pills will do for sick and suffering humanity. Mr. Kernahan had been very ill, indeed so ill that the doctors had given him up 'as an incurable. He had spent a great deal of money in trying to obtain a. cure, but all in vain, until at last a friend sug~ gested Dodd's Kidney Pills. This wonderful remedy soon made him a well man, and although this was nearly seven years ago, he has scarcely known what illness has been since, and has never had a return of his old trouble. The following let~ ters which he addressed to the pro- prietors of Dodd's Kidney Pills, tell the story: . Gelert, Ont., Oct. 12, 1895. In December, 1893, I was taken sick and laid up, unable to work for 14 months. I was confined to my house and tomy bed. I was attend~ ed at various times during these months , by five different doctors. Three of them decided that my. trou- ble was! floating kidney and incura- ble. The other two said that it was spinal disease, but all of them pronounced my case absolutely and positively incurable. My money was nearly all gone, for I was not a rich man. 'Some one advised me to try Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and as a. last hope I did so. After I had taken three boxes I was able to Walk about, but I continued the treatment until I had taken eighteen boxes. Now I can say I am entirely cured and able to do my work as well as ever. , SAMUEL KERNAHAN. Ceiert, April 24, 1902.
