He was recently knocked down by

ODDITIES OF EXPORTING.
What We Send Abroad and Some of

our own product in the markets of the

STA nearly one-half our total exports Of
agricultural machinery. This year we
have already shipped some $4,000 tons
of these implements to the land of the
car. In former years all this passed
through the ports of New York and
Philadelphia, but a fractional increase
in freight rates between the lakes and
the east has diverted the trade to
southern ports, while experiments are
being made in direct shipment from
Chicago by way of the lakes, the st.

the central Asian crop is grown from
American cotton seed. American culti-

by an American Irrigation system.
Yankee gins clean the fiber. American
comuounds press the cotton into bales
finally the cotton finds its way to
Moscow over a railroad built with
American capital. and is turned into
cloth by secondhand machinery from
an American cotton factory, to COM
pete abroad with American prints.
Another regular article of export to
central Asia is the Ohio grapevine cut
ting. The vineyards of central Asia
are all offshoots from American vines.
and the fruit is priced above all others
in Russia proper for its delicacy and
flavor. Twenty to thirty tons of Amer
lean grapes to the acre is a common
yield in central Asia, and as the Amer
ican vine is free from parasites il is
being introduced everywhere the world

the enterprising drummer who intro
