Growing Appetite For Ouinjne.

Qunine has become one of our sta.
pie forms of food 1t is much more
widely and ardently eaten than garlic
and IL may soon approach the popu
larity of pie. According to a report re.
Gently issued. considerably more than
10000 pounds OF quinine were manu-.
factured in India in 1902. the greater
part in Madras. while Java mauufac.
tured nearly 44,O0O pounds. In addi,
ton to this, over lS,0o0,000 pounds OF
cinchOna bark were produced chiefly in
Java and India. and this was reckoned
to be equivalent to another SG0,OW
pounds of quinine. so that the total
product of the food for the year was
nearly 1,O0OOOO pounds. There are
twenty manufactures of quinine in
existence, of which five are in France,
three in England. two each in Ger.
many and Italy. one in Holland. foui
in America, two in India. and one in
Java. The two principal markets for
quinne are Amsterdam and London
and the latter has greatly diminished
in Importance since the cultivation OF
cinchOna in Java has assumed such
large proportions. In fact, nearly
three times as much bark was sold al
Amsterdam in 1902, so that although
we probably use more quinine than
any other nation. the Dutch are taking
the trade away from all the rest of
us. India has already taken the hint
and is stimulating her growth of Gin.

II many farmers would use more
economy on their farms than they do
there would be less heard of the ex.
preston that farming does not pay"
ON many farms. while the owners
make II profit In some things, there are
many others that are at an expense
sufficient to consume these profits, and
often greater. Where there is no econ.
omy there is no pay. One of the
economies. think. which needs to be
learned Is In the management of stock.
Many farmers keep more horses than
can be prohtably employed all the
year. Many farmers run several
teams through the plowlng season,
which will not exceed four months. to
cultivate their crops: the balance OF
the year one team Is sufficient to do
the wcrk and all Others are idle. A
horse will eat at least calculation, 81
per week of feed. which Is just as
good as cash. allowing nothing for ac.
cldents. disease death and possibly
depreciation In value. All through the
winter, weeks and sometimes months
pass without getting horses out except
for exercise. The time and labor OF
keeping the idle teams is worth some
thing. not counting feed. II we les
sen the feed our teams become poor
and unable to do full days work.
Again many farmers keep too many
useless cattle. carrying them through
the winter with scanty feed. so that
they are worth no more In the spring
than they were the previous fall. 1t

farmer to sell of all but what he needs
