Baltimore Losses.

1t has been estimated that the loss by
the Baltimore fire reached the neighbor-
hood of $175, 100000. tits astupendous
sum to lose. The amount OF insurance
totals $3O,31O, ,45O, and is universally
distributed among the leading insurance
companies. For instance, the losses to
be paid by the German American do not
exceed $500, 200; the Phoenix Insurance
Co., 100000; the German Alliance,
$65,000; the New Hampshire, $400, 900,
the American Central, $180,000; the
Home of New York, 100000. The
manner in which some of the modern
fire proof buildings were destroyed in
the Baltimore disaster indicates clearly
that no building, whatever its construc-
ton, can be considered fire proof when
conhagrations occur.

That Bill Hanley is not the proper
person to be president Of the Oregon
Cattlegrowers' Association in fully
proven by his advocacy Of the iniquitous
system Of range leasing, says the Blue
Mountain Eagle. Nothing that could
be devised would prove more harmful to
the small stockraiser than the leasing Of
public lands by the government. Cattle
kings, like Hanley, would gobble up the
range, and the small raiser would be
crowded to the wall. Mr.. Hanley will
find that the Hanley theory has not a
single supporter in Grant county and
that the people now regret very much
that he was elected to the position that
he holds. With free range the stock in
dustry has been built up to its present
large proportions, and no other system
will find favor with the people.

FARMERS MONTH
AT WORLDS FAIR
Biggest Department of the Great Exposi.
ton Ready For the inspection Of the
Army of Men Who Made Its
Creation Possible.

Now that crops have been or are be-
ing laid by, the farmer prepares for his
trip to the Worlds Fair, a treat that
has long been promised him and for
which he has patiently waited. No ex-
position has offered so many induce
ments for the farmers presence as this
one at st. Louis, nor has any previous
exposition given the prominence and
space to the subject of agriculture.
August and September are ostensibly
the farmers months at the Exposition,
for it is at this season that the agricul-
ture exhibits are the freshest and best.
Products Of the new crops are pouring
into the booths from every state in the
Union, and additions are constantly
being made to the gorgeous display.
Headquarters for visiting farmers
may hc found in every state section of
the great Agriculture Palace. but for
their special convenience there has just
been completed Grange House, stu

where parcels may be left free of

moderate priced rooms to aid visiting
farmers and their families in procuring
accommodations.
The largest building on the grounds
IL the Palace of Agriculture, covering
twenty acres, while the Palace of Hor-
tculture near by covers about a third
as much space. These two immense
structures are filed with exhibits of
the farm, garden and orchard of the
most extensive and elaborate character,
every state in the Union and most of
the principal countries of the world
being represented.
Agriculture is given more prominence
than any other department at the En-
this great industry having been fully
appreciated from the very beginning
Of the Worlds Fair movement
About seventy acres Of ground are
covered by the agriculture and horti-
culture department at the Fair, large
outdoor spaces being devoted to this
industry. Outside there are growing
crops, trees and flowers, an instructive
six acre farm maintained by the Unit
ed States Government Plant Industry,
and gardens in all parts Of the grounds.
There are more exhibits in the Agri-
culture building than in any other Sec
ton of the Exposition. This building
IL considered by many people the most
interesting part Of the Worlds Fair
The exhibits in the palaces Of Agri-
culture and Horticulture constitute a

TEAS THAT ARE
WORTH FORTUNES
Twelve Hundred Kinds Are In China's
Show at the Worlds Fair...The Most
POpulOus Nation of the World For
the First Time Makes an Exhibit
Worthy of Her Greatness.

Many expositions of stupendous char
acter make up the Worlds Fair of
1904. Each part is vast and distinct
show. Each building shelters many
acres of wonderful things-wonderfu
because they are the choicest of their
kind. Every nation on the globe is
represented. Every state and territory
is here with its best and making the
most Of its greatest opportunity.
The fact that China has not been a
large exhibitor at worlds fairs gives
to her great exhibit here prominence
quite exceptional. 1t is wonderland
of ingenious productions. We know
China best by reason of her extensive
exports of teas, which have found a
vast market in the United States for
generations. Her commercial interests
therefore prompted her to make dis
play Of teas that we should not for
get.
In sealed glass jars China displays in
the Liberal Arts Palace some l,2CO
kinds Of tea. Young Hyson and Old
Hyson have a string of tea relations

Plymouth Rock. They are neatly Sc
lected 'chops," in the language of the
tea farmer, and these classes Go not
embrace medicinal teas. which are
quite another lot in the rather modest
number Of 400.
The teas exhibited vary in price from
q few cents a pound to some rare and
exclusive kinds that are worth their
weight in gold, the tea in the latter
cases being placed on one side of the
scales and pure gold on the other
that is to say, the tea of this expensive
/, kind is worth about $40 gold an ounce.
Only very small quantity of this ex-
elusive leaf is exhibited, and it is
grown in carefully guarded tea planta
tons or gardens right under the shad
ows Of the great wall of China. Its cul-
tivation is prohibited for any use save
for the imperial family Of China and
few Of the favored high officials.
Mention has been made of the word
'chop" in connection with tea, and it
may be interesting to the everyday
reader to know what the word actually
signifies. The tea leaf is grown in va
rious districts of the Chinese empire on

large areas of ground which are often
mistaken for single plantations. This
is hardly ever the case, as the large
tracts are very often owned by hun
dreds of different men, whose individ-
ual plots of ground bearing the tea
plants are carefully mapped out, so
that each Individual owner may cult
vate and. pick his own crop Of tea.
Each owner likewise markets his own
tea and puts his own special mark, or
'chop," on the packages. Hence the
term "chop" signifies an individual
growth or picking Of tea by one owner.
In an area Of tea land of, say, thou
sands acres, all apparently under one
ownership, there may be some forty,
fifty or more owners Of the plantation
and consequently like number Of
''chops" Of tea.
It must not be imagined that all these
different owners of the tea get the
same price for their commodity
from it, as each of these individual tea
growers has his own secrets for i'm
proving the quality and flavor of tea.
Take, for instance, the Annoy and Flu
chau districts, whence most Of the tea
for the United States comes. The own
ers of "chops'' Of tea varying from 10
to 200 chests Of Sc pounds each bring
samples Of their goods to the various
foreign merchants for sale. These lat
ter turn the Chinese tea growers over
to the good Offices Of the foreign or
American professional tea faster, who
passes on the goods as to price. The
tea faster has the samples infused, not
boiled, in his presence and passes upon
the quality, flavor, twang and manner
Of curing. fixing price accordingly,
from which there IN never any varia-
ton and which the tea grower must &C
cept or go elsewhere to dispose of his
wares. In a single tract Of tea land
like the one cited above the price has
ranged from II cents, the lowest, to
48h cents, the highest per pound
among sixty-one different tea produ-
GERS. A matter Of great moment that
also figures in the price OF tea 10
that very often tea from the same dis
trtct will have the various ''chops'
blended together in order to produce
special havors. .. ,.,,, ...sgyss b.. . ,..:

enough to occupy the attention Of Wis
itors for many days. Nothing to CON-
pare with them was ever attempted be-
fore. They are the climax of several
decades of educational work which is
placing farming on q high plane and
IL making scientific agriculture pleas
ing reality. ~
The conspicuous role played by agri-
culture at the Worlds Fair should
bring untold benefits and wealth to
the farming community Of the world
and impress all farmers with the i'm
portance and dignity Of their calling.
Passing through these colossal build
ings, studying the attractive exhibits
and fascinated with the bewildering
encyclopedia of rural life which is
spread out before his eyes, the Worlds
Fair visitor is impressed with the i'm
portant part the farmer plays in the
great world of industry. and every
farmer who views these interesting ex-
hibits is given a new pride in his vo-
cation If filed with inspiration and i'm
pressed with new ideas In harmony
with the progressive strides that farm
iag has been making for the past few
years, The visit will give an insight
into up to date farming on the most
approved plAn and will bring new
hopes and blessings to the farm.
How properly to rotate crops, how to
get the best results from fertilizing and
irrigation, how to protect crops and
ffuit from the ravages Of insects-all
these and many more things of vital
interest to farmers and fruit growers
are taught at the Worlds Fair.
