BRITISH BEEF AND BREAD.
America Produces 1t in such Guam
titles as to Explain EngIand's
Fondncss for Her Cousin,

Tables issued of the quantities and
values of the various forms of agricul-
tural produce imported into the
United Kingdom show further in
crease over those of the Immediately
preceding year alike in the groups of
live animals, of dead meat, of dairy
produce, of eggs, and of poultry.
Measured in aggregate value, the pay
ments made for imports of animal
produce in 1897 exceeded Ell, 5000
which is a larger total than has before
been recorded, the more material In
creases over 1896 being in round num-
bers nearly 6 10000 in live animals
imported for food, e 100000 for dead
meat and G 100000 for dairy produce.
Cattle imported alive in 1897 num-
bered 61s,000 head and the sheep 6R,-
600. These animals represent in the
aggregate an addition to the meat sup
ply of the year of something like 4,50o,-
600 hundredweight, while the beef,
mutton, bacon, hams and other forms
of imported meat were over II, 700, 900
huntlredweight. These two classes of
sea-borne food together exceeded by
1,650,O0O hundredweigbt the meat i'm
ports of 1896, and, collectively, sup
piled ration of "a pounds per head of
the population against a foreign sup
ply of 40 pounds per head on the aver
age Of the five years-1S91-95. As the
home-production has been nearly sus-
tanned, these figures suggest further
development Of the meat-consuming
power of the population, which was
the subject of detailed examination in
the report on the returns for 1896
More meat, home and foreign. I'm the
aggregate was available In 1897 than in
any previous year, and the growth OF
supplies continues to outstrip that Of
population. The conditions of the
year point to the consumption of 121
pounds by each unit of the people, as
against an average of 1872 pounds per
nnnum in the quinquennium 1s91-05, as
much as II per cent. of the whole be-
ing the produce of other countries
and 80 per cent. furnished by the cat.
tie, sheep and swine of the United
Kingdom itself.
Sums paid for the sections of our
imports which are Of vegetable origin
have not moved upward with the same
regularity as the aggregate values OF
the imports belonging to the animal
category. The wheat imports of 1897
were less than in any calendar year
since 1890, and less by SO pounds pei
head of the inhabitants of the United
Kingdom than in the previous year.
The United States supplied two
thirds of the 61s,OOO headreceived com
ing from that country, while Argen
tine sheep were landed alive in 1897 il
greater numbers than those from any
other country. The dead meat i'm
ports are, as formerly, more than hal
of American origin, three-fourths O
the fresh beef imported, and more
than two-thirds of the bacon and hams
imported being also of American pro
duction. The supplies from Australia
are next IN magnitude, two-thirds o
the mutton coming from this quarter
In 1897 America sent to the Unite,
Kingdom a total wheat supply large
than in 1896, 81 per cent. Of the whole
against only 42 per cent. of the larg,
wheat imports of 1s95.-London Tele

AMERICAS CROPS.

Agriculture is the cornerstone OF
American prosperity, and hence the
government weekly summary OF crop
conditions Is Of interest to everyone. It
informs us that the weather conditions
OF the week ending September 70, 1898,
have been favorable for farm work and
the maturing OF crops in the lower lake
regions, Middle Atlantic States, the
Carolinas, lower Mississippi Valley,
Texas and the Pacific Coast States, but
have been generally unfavOrable in
New England and the East Gulf States,
including Georgia, while in that sec
ton OF the country east of the Rocky
Mountains and west OF the upper Mis-
sissippi Valley the week has been
marked by unseasonably low tempera-
ture, accompanied by heavy frosts land
in some Instances snow, which In Wis
consin, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Ne
braslra, Western Kansas and Wyoming
killed tender vegetation and proved In
furious to crops that were not fully
matured. Light frosts occurred in
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and as far south
as Kentucky, but with little or no dam
age to crops in these states.
Reports from the principal corn pro-
duclng states indicate that the larger
part OF the early crop is now practically
safe, with much OF it in shock. Late
corn is doing well in the eastern por-
ton OF Nebraska and Kansas and In
Iowa and Missouri. In Ohio some
fields are still green. Considerable late
corn has been injured by frosts in
North Dakota and the extreme western
portions Of Kansas and Nebraska. In
portions OF Missouri the crop has sus-
tanned great damage by hail and wind
storms, and it has suffered injury from
excessive rains IN the South Atlantic
States.
There appears TO be no material I'M
prOvement in the condition OF the cot
ton crop In the eastern sections OF tbs
cotton belt; the bolls are opening rap
idly and picking is progressing, but
complaints are still general OF rust, rot.
ting, shedding and sproutng. In th'
central section reports are somewhat
more favorable, except in Mississippi
where the crop is seriously injured. II
Texas the bulk OF the crop is open and
picking is progressing under favorable
conditions; the staple is clean, though
injurious insects aTS rust have de
stroyed prospects of the late and tor
crop in many places.
Tobacco cutting, housing and curint
continue, and the bulk OF the crop hai
been secured in generally excellen
condition. In North Carolina, how
ever. late tobacco is not curing well.
The soil conditions have continue
favorable for p,owing for Fall seedin
in most sections, and the reports gen
orally indicate this work to be we'll ad
vanced, except in Maine, New Jersey
Virginia and Texas. whore blowing ha
been delayed owing TO lack OF rain
Considerable Fall wheat has been SOW
in the states of the central valleys.

PETS OF THE JAPANESE CHILL
DREN.

For pets the children have a kind Of
tiny rabbits and a queer breed OF cats
The cats have white fur with black and
yellow spots, and do not have tails. Tiny
dogs also are sometimes seen. In the
houses OF families in moderate clrcum-
stances there is usually an aquarium
well stocked with beautiful and curl
GUS varieties OF fish, gold, silver and
crimson, some as round as a ball, some
with spreading fms as fine as gauze.
Another pet is the large katydid,
whose piercing note is wy much en-
joyed by the children. The katydids
are very numerous in certain, places In
the Summer. AS residence for these
treasures they have bamboo cages, built
like tiny houses. in which they daily
arrange beds of fresh flowers or leaves
for the minstrols. Gayly cOlored but
terfiies are sometimes kept in the same
kind Of cage upon beds OF flowers. But
terflies have been seen to alig'ht volun-
tarily on children's hands, and in Ja
pan, birds, too, show that they are mo-
afraid OF man or child-St. Nicholas.
