better quality than for years past. II
may shock the tender stomachs of st.
Louisans who drink MADEIRA to learn
that the very ancient practice of tread
ing out the wine with the feet is still
in vogue. Consul Charlesworth says
the grapes are placed in a large wood
en- or stone vat, in which the peasants,
with legs bare to the knee, travel in a
circle to the cadence of an extempor-
lied song-the sentiment of which is
suited TO the occasion-until the grapes
are reduced to pulp. This is placed
in primitive press with q long sweep
and wooden screw. If not too far
from shore. the must-as it is now
called-is put in casks and conveyed
by boats to the merchant in Funchal,
in whose hands it undergoes the vari-
Gus operations of racking and fermen-
tation. 1t then receives the necessary
amount of spirit, and either undergoes
the artificial heating process or is stor-
ed in warehouses until it has acquired
the proper age for use. The consul
adds, by way of solace, perhaps, that
all the wine firms have steadily refus-
ed to handle any adulterations, and
their brands may always be relied
upon.
Consul General Heap writes from
Salonica that this is most favorable
time to introduce agricultural imple-
ments into Macedonia.
This country has lost caste in Car
acas. Oleomargarine has done the
job for us, and many American goods
are now looked upon there with sus-
picion. Nevertheless, Consular Agent
Rohl says the United States exports to
Caracas enormous amounts of flour,
lard, canned oysters, canned hams,
deviled entrements, gum-drops, con-
densed milk, beer, paints, sulphate OF
quinine, pharmaceutical sundries.
ropes, gray drills and domestic
prints, clocks, cheap jewelry,
electro plates, pianos, carriages, har-
ness, wheelbarrows, trunks, hunting
knives, axes, and hatchets, motive
steam-engines and steam-pumps.
The agent reiterates the complaint
made throughout the world that the
moment American exporters get q
trade on a certain article they conf
mence sending out inferior goods un.
der superior brands. England and
Germany are never guilty of thi;
trick.
In the matter of immigration Chill
would make q mossback fairly how
with rage. That government actually
hires people to go there, and then
pays them to stay. 1t gives the i'm
migrant third-class passage for him
SELF and family, to be repaid by small
installments; deeds him seventy-tivt
acres of ground, with thirty-sever
acres additional for every unmarried
son between the ages of IA and %, anC
gives him fifty years to pay for it
The cOloniSt is also provided with ;
yoke of oxen, milch cow, one hun
dred boards, a keg of nails, So wortl
of seeds, and S15 month in money
during the first year. AS \ parenta
government Chilli is in advance of tht
world, and if Col. Charles Mansur haC
been permitted to 90 there his "point
ers" would have been of great value
to the Missouri legislature. The nj
trate of soda exported to the Unite(
States from Chill amounted to SS40, 167
while Great Britain figured for IA
enormous sum of 500, 1913. .404. OF tn
large iodine export the United State
took S44S. 1926 worth
Every cloud has silver lining, an'
it will be refreshing to learn iron
Consular Agent Neurer that the eX
port of accordions from Gera to tn
United States has decreased from SS2,
881 in 1883 to $43, 1927 in 1884. Tn
bulk of expectation from Gera to thi
country is, however, in worsted goods
of which we received last year 81, ,0S4,
139 worth.
Vice Consul Tappan, of Merida
says there is good field in Yucatal
