Poultry Raising Something of Industry
in This Commonwealth,
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Minnesota is not generally considered
poultry and egg state, yet poultry and
eggs a.c s.,yen.i, il 1he list Of FAR II pro-
ducts. The shipments froic Minnesota
points IN 1899, according to the United
States census reports, were valued at
1854 ,856. 1t would have required train
more than twenty miles long to haul the
egg shipments alone.
Wheat, amounting annually to $780,
COL ,94S, heads the list of Minnesota farm
products. Then follow dairy products,
animals sold, oats, hay and corn. Eggs
and poultry are next. Then comes barley,
valued at 81, o2O,739, and faxseed, valued
at $5,S9S,556. Still the average citizen
does not consider eggs and poultry as i'm
portant product as fiaxseed
With the settlement of Minnesota the
production of poultry has increased rap
idly. Compared with Wisconsin, Mime
sofa makes an excellent showing, al
though it is still considerably behind
Iowa, the banner egg state of the union.
The increase in Minnesota in the last
ten years, however, has been greater IN
Minnesota than in Iowa.
The number of chickens in Minnesota
in 1879 is given at 2,258,3S5; Wisconsin,
1855 ,726; Iowa, s,539,774. In 1890 Min
nesota had 4,744,2ll, Wisconsin 6,l73,-
Sl2 and Iowa 81 $685. 73. The figures for
1900 show a still large increase except
for Iowa, although in that year poultry
less than three months old was not
counted. Minnesota had S,l42, 693, valu-
ed at S2,4lO,7l4, and Iowa 20,S43,347,
valued at $6,535, AGA.
The figures showing the receipts from
poultry and eggs do not include the prod
uct hauled to market nor consumed near
home, only that shipped by railroad.
Iowa leads with total value of poultry
products of $l9,Ol6,7O9, of which $9,49l,-
$40 is for poultry sold and $lO,0l6,707
for eggs The number of eggs shipped
to market was 99,62l ,920 dozen, as COM
pared with 69,44s,339 dozen in 1890, an
increase of about 40 per cent.
The value of poultry products for Min
nesota 1900 was $7,364,S65 as com
pared with $S,252,447 for Wisconsin, the
older state. The value of eggs shipped
from Minnesota points was $4,437 Jas,
and from Wisconsin points $4,S54 ,020.
Minnesota sent 43,2OS, $50 dozen of eggs
TO market by railroads, and Wisconsin
1920 $50 dozen.
The increase in Wisconsin, as compar-
ed with 1890, is about 50 per cent, and in
Minnesota more than 100 per cent. In
1885 Minnesota shipped only S,234,lGl
dozens of eggs to market, less than one
fifth the amount shipped in 1900. In 1890
this had increased to 20,354 ,49S dozen,
s2,S53:832 dozen less than in 1899.
In order to pack the 4320S,000 dozen
eggs shipped IN 1900 Approximately l.
100000 cases were required, and 5000 of
the large size freight cars would be need
ed TO transport them. The egg shipment
would thus have made train mOge
than twenty miles long.

Lamp Knocked Over Starts An In
Cipient Fire Saturday Night.

From Mondays Daily.
Last Saturday the Presley building on
South Front street between Jackson and
Cherry streets had little fire that might
have resulted quite seriously. Miss
Cora Ennes, living at the home of her
mother, Mrs. R. Ennes, was searching
for a ticket to the Y M. c. A. lecture
and in her hurry, struck the lamp
against chair knocking it out of her
hand to the floor. The lamp happened
to possess a-sefety device for the proven
ton of an explosion by being open at
the top. 1t did not explode but turn
ed over on its side and the oil running
out of the opening at the top, caught
fire. Miss Ennes ran down to the street
and sent in an alarm, while Mrs. Ennis
smothered the flaming oil with blanket.
Dr. Frisbie extinguished the blaze on
the casing of the door with bucket of
water The damage to the building lis
trifling and is covered byiinsurance.

BREAK THE RECORD.
FIour Exports for 1908 Larger Than
in Any Preceding Year.
From Saturdays Daily.

Cioh SdIuloay Ddhys
Washington, Feb. 20-Flour exports
from the United States in 1908 were
larger than in any preceding year in the
history of our commerce and aggregated
practically 10000 900 barrels. The value
of the -four exports also exceeded that
d, of any preceding year, with the excep-
tons of 1892 and 1898, when the value
slightly exceeded that Of 1908, but the
quantity exported was materially less.
The total number of barrels of flour eX-
ported from the United States in the ifs
cal year 1908 was l9,7l6,634, valued at
S73,756, 404, while in 1898 the number of
barrels was 16620,a39, but tie value
was SIS ,347, prices of that year be
ling materially higher than those Of 1908.
In the calendar year 1903, ending with
the month of December, the total exports
of flour amounted to 1851 All barrels,
valued att $50, $50. The total value
of the wheat exports of the calendar
year, 1903, ayas $50 1929, AL, and that Of
the flour exports, 75,lSso50.
A study of the wheat expectations Of
the 'Usaited States during long term of
years diseloses some very interesting
aacts. Prior to the development of the
great wheat fields of the United States,
which occurred subsequent to 1850, a
very large proportion of the surplus
wheat of the country was exported in the
forra of -four. From 1870 to 1850 no
instance occurs in which the exports of
wheat equaled in value those of -four.
Beginniag with 1861, :nowever, wheat ex
ports exceeded in value those of -four,
and this was almost constantly the ease
down to 1890. Since that time, however,
-four exports have on many occasions
tmaterially exceeded in value those of
wheat, though in years of large crops
the unusual surplus naturally found its
way abroad in the form of wheat, since
the capacity of the nills could not con-
form to the annual fluctuations in pro-
ductioG. The growth in flour exporta-
zion has therefore been steady, while
that of wheat not turned into aeur has
auetuated with the surplus crop available
for expectation.

COLEMAN WANTS $500.
Will Sue August Loeffeimacher For
That Amount.

7. J. Coleman, the Minneapolis detec-
tive, is soon to bring suit for $500
against August Loeffelmacher. This is
the statement made by the sleuth to
a New Ulm man who talked with him on
the train Monday.
The $500 is the sum which Coleman
alleges is due him from Loeffelmacher
as a reward for the capture of the lat
ter's son, John, at the time of his first
escape from the authorities. The de-
tective alleges that the old man offered
him $500 for the capture, aud although
he secured his apprehension, never re,
ceived more than $50 paid as retainer.
He says he has retained Senator A. V.

ANUSEMENTS

The three nights engagement
Of the Biascope company opened
to a fair business at the city
opera house last night and the
entertainment was without ques
ton the most meritorious thing
which has seen at the city opera
house this season. The pictures
were all new and every one was
interesting. Especially worthy
of mention were the pictures of
the Russo-Jap war and the flight
of the Canadian Pacific express
through the Crows Nest pass
country, showing some of the
marvellous feats of engineering
necessary to the construction Of
the great transcontinental rail
way. The audience was thor
oughly pleased, the attraction is
more than worth the money and
will bear the most liberal patron
age. Tonight the pictures will
feature the presentation of the
Indian play Hiawatha as pre-
scented by the Ojibway Indians at
Desboreaux, Ontario. There will
also be a new film of war pictures
and other features.
