only about four pounds a year to each

Britain. fourteen in Italy, 500 in Japan,

Americas sweet tooth is said to be
abnormally developed. The consump-
ton of sugar reaches the astonishing
total of $500, 000, 900 pounds; but only
one-eighth of this is raised at home.
Last yearanearly a third of the supply
came from Germany, and s per cent
more from the rest of Europe. The
West Indies sent "A per cent, and the
East Indies IA per cent Fully half
the sugar imported came from coun-
tries no better able to produce it than
is the United States herself. Last year
we raised 125,000.000 pounds of beet
sugar. There are those who propheSy
that in another decade the entire
amount of sugar needed for home con-
sumption will be produced within our
own borders. The present average is
about 79 pounds year each, or a
pound a day per family of five.
The dairy produces another import
ant part of the food supply. With the
butter, cheese. milk and like products,
the total value to the consumer is es-
timated to be not less than $500. 900. 600
a year. To spread the bread, make the
pes and concoct other appetizing daint-
les requires an annual supply Of not
less than 1,35O0O0,000 pounds of but
ter. Besides, we export about %, 600 900
pounds. Cheese is used to the extent
of 23o,000,0o0 pounds annually. Made
into one gigantic cheese it would meas
'ure $50 feet in diameter and half as
many feet in height. More striking still
is the use of the raw milk, which
amounts to no less than 1000, 000, 900
quarts annually. Yet this is only a
half pint day to each person. OF this
supply Chicago takes $4,000, 600 quarts.

Then there are the eggs, of which
$50 900, 900 dozens are used during the
year. Placed end to end they would
grid the world twelve times at the
equator. Yet this use is not excessive, |
since it allows less than three eggs a
week to each person.
Probably no people in the world eat !
as much meat as the Americans. The |
secretary of agriculture places annual |
meat bill at not less than 5000, 900, GOO. |
Figures can be only approximate, yet |
a fair estimate would place the beef |
consumed at 5000, 900 900 pounds, pork
at 1000, 000 900, and mutton at S00,O0O,000 |

WHEN TO PICK FRUIT.

All ripe fruit should be picked clean
 as pickers go down the row. Pick
 carefully with thumb and forefinger,
 placing fruits in the basket, not a sack, one at 8 time to avoid bruisin :, them. Most fruits should be picked with the stems Cn, as they keep bet ter. and If to be sold fresh they should
 always be gathered in baskets. Ta
 keep well, fruit must be picked at the proper time. when mature but not
 fully ripe. Fruit is mature and should
 be gathered when the stem separates
 readily at it's joint with the branch
 Never leave it On the tree too long, as there will be loss of flavor and color, the flesh becoming so soft that it is easily bruised and it's keeping quail ties injured by slight jars in handling. In large orchards picking should be
 gin as soon as fruit in sunniest portion changes color, then as work proceeds other fruit is maturing and there will
 be less loss from overripe fruit (Mo- ses Craig, bulletin 51. Oregon exseri- ment station) The nea-c- tie mar ket the riper the fruit should be when
 picked. Never pick green, decayed or soiled fruit. Immature fruit, unless for distant market, should be permit ted to ripen, and all diseased or rot ting fruit removed and destroyed to
 prevent the spread of fungous dis
 eases. Never pick fruit when wet with rain Or dew, as this impairs the flavor and appearance. Fruit picked
 in the heat Of the day is apt to look wilted and does not sell well. To pre- vent this, and partially restore the fresh appearance when wilted, place
 crates as soon as filed in a cool, moist well ventilated place until sent to market. The flavor of cherries and some small fruits depends on the time
 of picking, being best when they are
 gathered just after the dew is of in the morning.-Oraag Judd Farmer.

 Carrots are healthy and a fine ad- dition to the table when young. Keep planting them.
 Do net forget to keep up a success sion in okra. Good in soups at all times. While fried properly is beyond compare as a breakfast dish

FOR PLANT USE.

For rust blight and all plant and fruit diseases Of a fungous nature, try the simple solution of sulphate of cop per, one ounce to fifteen or twenty gal Ions Of water The latter strength is sufficient in most cases.
 For wire worms, grubs or cut worms use the waste tobacco dust in the drill and about the stems of plants.
 For plant lice dust freely with to- bacco or apply strong solution with sprayer.
 For slugs upon asparagus use solu- tion Of whale oil soap-one pound to four gallons Of " ater. Apply by fine spray.
 If stripped bugs attack the cucum- bers. Ol newspaper with kerosene Make tent of it over young vines Do not let the paper touch the plants
