FOODSTUFFS FROM ABROAD
Some Figures on Foreign Products That
 Are Bought

Washington. H. Hitchcock, chief of the section of foreign mar kets of the agricultural department, has prepared a bulletin showing the sources of the agricultural imports of the United States from 1896 to 1900. The total value was $420, ,139, ,288, and the annual average was $376 6,368 1868.
 Europe was decidedly our most i'm portant source of agricultural imports, we taking from that country in 1900, $129, ,00O,000 worth of farm products, being the largest in recent years, ex- cept 1897, when we received $159 ,000,- 900. Asia in 1900 sent us $101 ,000, ,0O0 in agricultural produce, rapid rise from $66,OOO,OOO in 1896. Our farm imports from Oceania also rose rap idly, being $37OOO,OO0 in 1900. against $22, ,000, ,000 in 1896, while on the other hand there was falling off of $2,00O,- 900 in our imports of farm products from North American countries.
 There was 2 large falling off in az ricultural imports from South Amer ica Our African farm produce i'm ports declined from $1O,40O,OO0 in 1896, to $6,700,000 in 1898, and rose again in 1900 to $10600,000.
 Brazil, owing to it's heavy coffee trade, holds the foremost place in the ranks of countries sending us coffee supplies, her total for 1900 being $39,- 392,29S. Our imports from there, how ever, have been steadily decreasing.
 In 1896 they were $6O 668OOO The United Kingdom ranges next to Brazil, with $32, ,606,000 worth of farm prod ucts exported to the United States in 1900, a gain over the two immediate preceding years, but a loss of $15,- 000,000 as compared with 1897. Cuba in 1900, sent us $27,226,0OO in farm products, the war resulting in such fluctuations in the statistics as $36,- 000,0 900 in 1896, and $13.158 GOO e. 1898.
 Germany comes next with $26, ,049 900 in 1900, as against $22,523,00O in 1896, and $31, ,50S,000 in her record year of 1897. Japan and China made large gains during the five years, Japan sending us in 1900 SPA, ,767 900 against $18,362 ,000 in 1896, and China SPA 4,131,- 900 in 1900 against SIS ,649 ,OO6 in 1896. Hawaii made a record in 1900, with $20, ,638 ,000 worth of farm produce ex- ported to us, against only $11, ,71O,OOO in 18.o. Mexico's gain was from $12,- 751 .00n = 1896, to $20,O0O,O00 in 19O0
 The leading articles of farm product imported by us in 1900 were. in the or der of their importance, sugar, hides and skins, coffee, silk. vegetable fibers, woods, fruits and nuts, tobacco, tea, wines, vegetable oils and cocoa. Our chief sugar imports came from the Dutch East Indies $24,17O,0O0 worth; Hawaii. $2O, 392,000; Cuba, SIS PA, ,OOO; and Germany, $12,-47,0OO.

Our Fruit Abroad

A remarkable statement made in an article in a paper published in Val encia, Spain, a translation. of which was forwarded to the State Depart ment by Consul Bartleman, to the eff feet that California fruit is driving Spanish fruit out of the markets of France. Germany and England. The reasons for -4e preference shown for California fruit are found in the fact that Californians offer their fruit in the same fine condition in which it is picked from the trees. California or anges, peaches and pears reach Paris, 5000 miles from the place of growth. in better condition than Spanish fruit of the same varieties reach the same market, only 49O miles from home. It Is but short time since the future of the fruit industry seemed to depend upon the preservation of fruit during the six days needed to land 1t in the great American centers of population. IT." market east of the RocKy noun tains was practically without limit, if our fruit could be made to retain it's natural freshness and flavor. Now the art of growing, packing and trans pOrtation of fruit seems to have been carried to degree of perfection which gives it a place in the very home of the Old World fruit culture. 1t is probable that the samples of fruit which Consul Bartleman speaks of were packed with more than ordinary care. but 1t will pay our fruit growers to maintain the standard that has been established.-San Francisco Bal. letin.

 Chicago Pies
 A man who recently visited a pie factory in Chicago, thus describes it.: The day we were there a special run was made on pumpkin pies, and l looked in vain for any sign of pump kin rlnds. One of the foremen grinned and told me, in strict confidence, that real pumpkin was never used in pump kin pies at present, except possibly in a few remote and primitive New Eng land villages. The substitute was a mixture of sweet potatoes, apples and cheap flour, favored with chemi- cal extract. I tasted some of the stuff and was satisfied he was telling the truth. Cranberry pie contains on- ly enough cranberries to make a showing" alter the manner of the oyster in the church fair stew. The rest is apple jelly, colored red and favored. I have forgotten the other substitutes employed, but these will give you a general idea of the moral
  put of the factory was one second or about 36,000 pies for a working day. The manager told me they were shipped all over the pie belt in spe- cially prepared crates.

if on the chicken, what mixture Is the best to 1ip the fowls in in order to get rid of them? c. H. Manard, Fur lock.
 Chicken ticks stay on the fowls all day and lay their eggs where they live-in the feathers. Mites (the little gray spider) lays It's eggs in cracks of coop and forage on fowls at night. returning to cracks before morning. This spluer mite Is eviden.,y what you refer to.
 Spray the house inside and out with an emulsion composed of one-half pound washing soap; one-half gallon kerosene; one ounce crude carbolic acid. Mix thoroughly and use in five gallons of water. Or,
 Finely sifted ashes thrown over ev- erything in house twice week will kill all mites and those that hatch In month. So will sifted road dust California Cultivator.
 Fertility
 How long must hen remain with male bird before her eggs become fer tile. Subscriber, Westminster. Eggs are fertilized in from four to eight days; sometimes sooner, some times later. Something depends on whether the hen is in laying, has been running with brood, or whether she has been with another brood, or whether she has been with another male and you wish to get stock from different one. In the latter case let two weeks intervene between the ser vice of the males, in order to be sure of the blood you want.-California | Cultivator.
 In-Breeding Poultry
 Upon many farms the same breeding stock is kept from year to year without any change. Where this is practiced there is always more or less incestuous breeding which is fruitful of disorders that will give trouble. It is claimed that the com mon dunghill stock is proof against such evil results. This is not true. Where in-breeding has been permitted to go on restrained from ye ar to year there is a general retrogression in the size and quality of the fowls. Hardi ness may be found in 'some that sur vive, but many will die on account of weakness due to in-breeulng. Tails and wings increase fin length and size and the development of flesh where most valuable is prevented. There Is promiscuous breeding and there is a consequent promiscuous dying among the chicks. None but the most wig orous survive, The trouble is less apparent in chickens than in turkeys. It is next to impossible to rear soung turkeys that are the result of incest uous breeding. They are weak and after living short time, they die. It should be practiced but very little by the novice in poultry breeding.
 Bugs RuninS Grain
 About three weeks ago green bugs attacked the irrigated grain of J. c. Heitzeg and G. Panero in the artesian belt northwest of Delano and has dam aged it to such an extent that 1t will have to be cut for hay. Their grain looked very promising until the ap- pearance of the bugs and would have made fully six sacks.
 MT. Heitzeg says all of the grain west of Anla will suffer from the rav- ages of the insect. The bug is of peculiar species that he has never seen before. It has a large head and when 1t gets its stinger into kernel of wheat it makes short work of it, sucking out all of the vitahty.-Delano Record.

The Ladies' Aid of the M. f.

The Ladies' Aid of the M. f..
hurch gave supper at the residence
of j. V. Finkle, on Thursday even
ing last. The fate was held on the
lawn, which was decorated with
Chinese lanterns and flowers. This
supper has become an annual occur
ancc and not only contributes to the
pleasures of the season but nets a
tidy sum for the work of the churco.
The summer guests of the town en-
ter heartily into the spirit of the oc-
casions as well as aid substantially
with the proceeds. The amount
netted is about S322.
During the electric storm Thurs
day afternoon f. f. Flynn's resi-
dcncc was struck by lightning which
did considerable damage to the
building and furniture but fortunate
ly injuring none of the occupants.
The fluid came down the chimney
and spread its force in nearly every
room of the house. A large strip of
plaster was torn from the wall in
one of the upstair rooms, in another
room large plate mirror in the
dressing stand was smashed in fine
fragment, an easel in the parlor was
torn i'm pieces and a large gilt frame
was ruined. In the kitchen the floor
was spllntered up in front OF the
stove and a hole made through the
wall near a clock shelf. A ratter on
the out kitchen was split and siding
torn off in places. At the time of
the stroke Mrs. Flynn was going up
stairs to close a window, her little
son, Arthur, was playing ON the floor
in the kitchen with hatchet and
saw the lightning streak around him
but few feet way. The shock was
scarcely felt b either of the Occu-
DantS,
