As to the trade of the United States with

which show that the imports of Newchwang,
the principal port through which Manchu-
rlan commerce now passes amounted in
1902 to about 100000 haikwan taels
1900. The value of the haikwan tael in 1902
was 63 cents, so that the value of the i'm
ports of Manchuria- stated in dollars, would

Exports to Newchwang.
The official report of the Chinese govern
ment does not specify all classes of mer-
CHI lndise received into Newchwang from
the United States. but does specify the four
principal articles-American jeans, drills
sheetings and kerosenes. The total value of
these four articles of American production
reported as brought into Newchwang in
1902, either coming direct from the United
States or from other ports of China, was
6,11s,920 haikwan taels which at the
official valuation Of the haikwan tael in
1902 would make the total value in United
States currency $3S54, 800.

TUBERCULOSIS IN HENS.
California Professor Says Disease Is
Prevalent on Ranches.

Professor Says Disease Is
Prevalent on Ranches.
Now that his experiments with dis
eased fowls in California have demon
strated the fact that tuberculosis is
one of the most widely prevalent dis
eases in the poultry ranches Of the
state, DR.. Archibald r. Ward, veteri-
marian Of the University of Califor-
MIA agricultural department, is pur-
suing investigations to discover wheth-
er there is any relationship between
this and bovine or human tuberculosis.
Furthermore, the consideration of the
possible significance of fowl tubercu-
losfs has awakened the desire to know
whether or not the deadly organisms
are present in the egg. Both these
points are vitally important, and the
animal industries department, in con-
Junction with the recently established
poultry experiment station, will make
careful study of the cases that are
brought to their attention.
DR.. Ward, although just commenced
on these Investigations, has this to say
on the second point: 1T appears to be
true that hens badly infected do not
lay. In the thirty postmortems of tu-
berculOsis hens that have come under

many thousand dollars seem lost to the

SITTING HENS.
Proper Way to Care For Biddy When
She Becomes BroOdy.

She Becomes Broody.
AS spring draws near we are re-
minded that the time is at hand for ar
ranging the nests and getting every
thing in readiness for Matching out the
broods Of little chicks. First of all the
nest must be made in a room or shed
apart from the house devoted to, laying
hens. Any out of the way room, closed
shed or loft will answer for the pur-
pose, and there the nest should be
made. A large, roomy box eighteen
inches deep, with an opening in the
side large enough to allow the hen to
pass in and out at will, should be used.
First put a few shovelfuls of dry dirt
or sifted coal ashes in the bottom of
the box and hollow out in the shape of
q nest; then cover with straw or hay
and shape it so that the eggs will not
roll over on each other. After the hen
has shown a desire to sit for few
days take your lantern after dark and
gently carry her to the new nest,. in
which you have already placed few
china nest eggs.
Hold the lantern so that she can see
the nest and let her step gently in the
box and nestle down. Cover the top of
the box and close the opening in front
and let her remain confined for full
day. The next night you may remove
the covering, place food and water in
front of the box and gently lift her off
and let her eat and drink. When sat
isf1ed, she will return to the nest and
Will then be ready for the eggs which
you intend to put under her.
Should she refuse to return to the
nest, as hen will sometimes, it is use
less to try further, and it is better to
let her return to the yard and wait un-
til another one gets broody. Sitting
hens should be fed on whole corn ex-
clusively. This, together with grit,
water and dust box, should be placed
near the nest, and she will need ND
further care. After the first week she
should be busted we'll with insect pow
der and then again about the. eight

lit is better to Set two on the same
day, and when they hatch give all the
chicks to one hen and reset the other.
The second batch is usually the MORE
successful. as the hens become more
faithful after the first weeks. When
the. eggs begin to pip do not disturb
the hen by lifting her up. Let Ter re.
