THE SALT PRODUCTION.
Enormous Annual Output and Fore

From the New York Commercial
Despite the fact that the annual pro-
duction Of salt In the United States ex-
ceeds 100000 barrels. valued al 100000.

minent dealer Saturday. Nearly every
state in the Union is producer, but in
only few is the output commercially i'm
portant. New York, Michigan, Ohio,
Kentucky, California, Kansas and Utah
are the largest producers, and ID Is from
these states that these markets are chiefly
supplied. IL is estimated that In addition
to our own manufacture we import about
900 tons every year, Notwithstanding
the fact that our own supply is amply
sufficient TO meet all demands. The inn
ported article is no better than our own,
but the fact that il Is manufactured al
less cost, and is brought over at a very
low freight, enables the dealer TO dispose
of VI in competition with our own pro-
duct The freight Is about Is cents per
ton from Liverpool, and in addition there
is a duty of SLIGO per ton. Imported salt
Is landed chiefly at southern ports, being
freighted over by vessels intending to load
cotton and other southern products. Sa-
vannah New Orleans and Norfolk are
the largest receivers. No salt is imported
at Boston, Philadelphia. or New York
Regarding the American product IL
may be said that New York and Michigan
are among the largest producers. Being
household necessity the consumption Is
very large, ard by far the greatest guam
tity Is consumed for domestic purposes.
Meat packers in the west use an enormous
quantity. and fish dealers IN the eastaare
also great consumers The salt prepared
for household uses is refined by being
subjected to a greater heat than the coar-
ser salt used by packers. and is produced

the yard below. Looking down, he saw
a number of chickens huddled together
and seeming greatly asitated. Then he dis
covered a large hawk just preparing to
make a swoop Barnett was preparing to
descend to the rescue when the. hawk
made a plunge at the terrified fowls The
robber was leisurely preparing to carry off
a chicken when there was a quick patoer
of feet and the three cats bounded into
view The hawk made an effort 10 escape
with Its prey, but the cats came to the
rescue in the nick of time. The hawk
made a spunky resistance, but the combined
assault Of the cats overpowered him, all
though only after a fierce battle. Barnett
had reached The battlefield by this time
and he rescued the hawks body from the
cats Barnett proudly displays his trophy
and declares that in the future the cats
will be well provided for.
