Wool Growing in Canada.

The growth and development of the woollen manufacturing industry in Can- ada is shown by the increased quantity of woo! brought into the Dominion from abroad.

The value of free wool imported into} Canada during the fiscal year 1878-9, ' was $841,173. In the year 1579-80 it was $1,684,161 for free wool and §8,- 056 for about 25,000 lbs, Lustre wools, which pay a duty of three cents per lb. The total quantities imported in the two! years were 4,976,758 Ibs., in 1879 as} against $7,870,118 lbs. in 1880. For} the last fiscal year, ended 30th June,' 1881, the imports were 5,994,050 Ibs.,! valued at $1,192,388, all free wool, no’ lustres, while the exports were but 1,- ' 482.927 lbs., of the value of $427,937— less than half those ot either of the pre- vious years.

For success in I{fe, it is essential that there i be a ixedeness of purpose as to the

cows’ milk was equally good at both milkings. The increase in the amount of solid matters in the evenine’s milk was chiefly due to the larger amount of fats contained in the latter. The result of these analyses showed that the milk of well-fed cows in houses in tie last quarter of the year coutains, when poorest, 13-90 per cent. of solid matter, including 4°20 per cent. of fats. The society of Public Analysts for Great Britaiu and Ireland have adopted as a standard for the poor- est pure milk 9 per cent. of solids, minus fats, and 2-5 per cent of fais—a total of 11°5 per cent. of solids. While there is little doubt that milk containing less than this percentage of solids is watered or skimmed, still these analysis show that so far as Ireland is concerned, the solids minus fat may be in pure milk less thaa 9 percent. A more exact average would be 1°5 per cent.

Giving Credit at Retail.

It has been said that the hardest problem a retail merchant has to salve is whether he shall give credit, and to whom, and how much. It is much more difficult for him to determine as to credits than for the whelesale merchant. In the latter

!case there isa perfect system of finding

out the standing of merchants, but when it cemes to individuals the matter is. differ-

ent. One must use his own judgment or depend upen his acquaintance with the cireumstances of his customer,

A leng residence in a place gives this knowledge very accurately, but it also sometimes involves such social relations as make it very difficult to discriminate in credits when good business habits would dictate it should be done. It is not haszarding too much to say that a large ma- jority of all the failures among retail mer- chants is due to the credit system, and that credit system extended, in the goodness of heart of the retailer, to parties not entitled to it. In fact, it may be seriously question- ed whether any one is entitled to credit. It should be regarded entirely as a matter of courtesy, and the less of it the better. lt is hard to refuse to send a neighbor goods when he sends for them, and when one knows he is good, but after all, isa’t it harder to have to fail to meet your own bills when they beccme due, and when you

‘know your credit wi] be hurt by not deing

it? Our advice is to restrict credit as wuch as possible, »uy for cash as closely as you can, and seli the same way. If you do not make much, you will have the satisfaction of having either your goods or your money. —-Grocer’s Journal,
