Farmers Will never have reason to
fear competition from the producers of
poultry in large towns or near cities,
when the latter make it their entire
business. The cost of producing both
eggs and flesh must always be greater
under such conditions than they will be
on the farm. On the farm there are
large areas that can be roamed over
by the flocks, which will pick up enough
to make feeding at the pen an unneces-
sary thing during large part of the
year. Thus, one man tells the Farm
ers' Review, that his wife keeps 200
Leghorn hens and seldom feeds them.
Her husband runs threshing machine
and much grain is hauled to his place
for threshing. The waste grain proves
equal to almost the entire support of
the flock of hens. On most farms will
be found some condition akin to this
The expenses are so reduced that
good profit can be obtained even when
eggs are low. On the other hand, the
specialist usually has but a small area
OF land and finds it more profitable to
buy than to raise his grain. He must
always get good price for his products
II he is to make prOut.
Barley as Stock Food.-To deter
mine the value of barley as stock food
in practical way, tests were recently
made by feeding it in comparison with
corn and with wheat. In the feeding
tests with pigs, ground barley did one
half better than unground, and ground
corn did one-ffth better than unground.
Whole barley gave better results than
whole corn. Ground corn required one
half more food to make a pound of
growth than ground barley. Ground
barley made one pound of growth
for every 81 pounds of grain
fed, at cost of but shade over two
cents per pound, which was better than
any other feed did. In steer feeding
tests both corn and wheat surpassed
the barley. In lamb feeding tests there
was scarcely any perceptible difference
in results from corn, wheat and bar
ley. Corn and barley mixed gave bet
ter results than either alone. In every
feeding test bald barley gave better re-
suits than common barley Farmer

Bicycles and Cream.-The bicycle
which has hurt the horse is no enemy
Of the COW. The harder cyclers wheel,
the more ice cream they eat. On hot
day Greater New York alone consumes
$1,000 quarts. How many millions OF
quarts the people of Greater America
dispose of is not set down by the sta
tlsticians. Wheelmen ara patrons, Of

AHEAD OF ENGLAND.

Our exports for the fiscal year closed
June 80, 1893, were not only the greatest
by far In our history, but they placed us
ahead Of England for the first time.
Our exports for the twelve months in
dictated exceeded those OF England by
more than ssO,OOO,OOO. The average ex-
cess of British exports over our for ten
years past had been about s7O,OOO,OOO.
We have gone ahead Of England at last
and she will never catch US again. Twen-
ty years ago the man who would have
predicted that bv this time our export
trade would be by far the largest in the
world would have been considered wild
even by our own people. We have ex-
tended foreign trade to its present enor-
nous proportions In spite Of tariff laws,
which seem to have been devised to wall

has destroyed our merchant marine.

Lieutenants Milaya and Noble. his staff,
about o'clock this afternoon. He was
met by General Bates, who was superin-

plies in the surf. General Shaftcr was
in full uniform, wearing Il straw he'll
met, and was soon mounted on a large,
handsome horse, rode through the
town surveying the scene of the landing
operations and camps of troops. He
halted moment before the cottage
which served as headquarters of the
Cuban insurgents, where Generals
Garcia and Castillo paid their respects
to the American commander. About
an hour later General SlIafter struck
out on the road to the front. in order to
consult with General Wheeler and the
division commanders, and look over the
field of operations before Santiago. The
General said he would probably return

DOES NOT WANT CAMARA DETAINED.
United States Did Not Request That Coal
Should Be Refused Spanish Fleet
at Port Said.

London, June %. The reports com
ing from America that the United
States government requested Great
Britain to enforce the neutrality laws
by forbdding Admiral Camaras squad
ron from coaling at Port Said are un-
founded. United States Ambassador
Hay received his instructions on this
subject. 1t is believed in government
circles that the United States is not
anxious to have Admiral Camara de-
tanned. 1t is surmised that the United
States consul Mt Port Said acted on his
own initiative in protesting against the
coaling of the Spanish fleet. 1t is
pointed out that if the Spaniards are
denied admission to the canal q prece-
dent will be established which will pre-
vent the United States from using the
canal in the event of desiring to send
warships to the far east during the war.
