Seeing that Canada last year received from England more than $12,000,000 for bacon, it is obvious that the Bacon export trade is of great importance to this country. _ Among the qualities necessary fr firstâ€"class bacon in England, none is of greater importance than firmness. A tendency to softness or tenderness is quite sufficâ€" lent to rate the bacon at secondâ€"class prices, ard if this softness is at all proâ€" nounced, to make it altogether unsalâ€" able at a profit. ° Among the more important conclusions at which Mr. Shutt arrives as a result of his investiâ€" gation are the folloging: That the one great controlling lactor in the quality of the pork of finisbed pigs lies in the character of the food cinployed. That Indian corn and beans tend to softness, viz., to increase the pe:rcentage of olein ‘n the fat. It these crains are used the; must be fed j «. icusly if firstâ€" clase, firm pork is to | c pr. dueed.

He supposed she was walking the streets too much. The other teachers of the school seemed kind and attentive to their classes.
