OUR THREE BEST CUSTOMERS.

More than one-half of the exports
from the United States in 1903 went to
British territory, and practically one
third of the imports into the United
States came from British territory
Thus, of the foreign commerce of the
United States aggregating nearly two
and one-half billion dollars in the call
cndar year 1903, more than one billion
dollars represented commerce with
British territory.
Next in order of magnitude of COM
mercial transactions with given coun-
ports in 1908 were 225 millions and
from which our imports were 122 mill
ions. With German territory. outside
OF Germany. our commerce is small. To
German Oceanica our exports in 1909
were $4,000. and to German Africa
nineteen thousand, while our imports
from German territory, outside Of the
mother country. were even less.
Canada stands third in the order of
magnitude of exports from the United
etates. tho that country has been in
cluded in the general discussion of our
commerce with British territory. Our
total exports to Canada in 1893 were
PSI. 10000 and in 1903 1sl millions, an
increase of about 100 per cent: while
our imports from Canada grew from
thirty four millions in 1893 to fifty
three millions in 1908, an increase of
g per cent.

Hoo Cholera.


The outbreak OF hog cholera In sew
eral localities In the state has moved
the Minnesota livestock sanitary board
to admonish hog growers everywhere
to be vigilant in efforts to prevent the
spread OF the contagion. Hog cholera
is transmitted from herd to herd by
any form OF communication between
them. The transmission is by germs
adhering to feed, implements. or the
feet or clothing OF persons carried or
travelling from herd to herd. Dogs
may be means OF communication, and

to remain with well ones. and bury
deeply or burn every hog that dies
OF the disease. Freely disinfect
houses and yards with an ounce and
a quarter OF carbolic acid to a half

says: "Place no dependence on alleged
hog cholera cures no such things

INew York Tribune- Farmer.l

New YORK IrlDune-Farmer.J
In the issue of the Tribune Farmer
OF Dec. "a Mr.. Jameson, OF Ohio, tells
OF the way that the pig killing is done
in his section: but this method Is not
without its drawbacks. For instance.
IL man. has several hogs that dress
over 300 pounds. at sl.50 a head, it
costs quite sum to get this job done,
and for some farmers in Yates county
this year this sum would be a tempta-
ton for some of us to change work and
struggle thru some way. But we think
that we have more economical way.
A day or two before we are ready to
kill hogs we send word to meat mar
ket in one of the nearby villages. and
they send out man with all the tools
necessary to do nice and good job.
and for his pay he takes the skins. He
has what they cali catcher. that he
attaches to pole If the hog is hard
then. II he has no one to help him. he
ties this rope to something till he gets
4 rope on the upper jaw; then. holding
its head up with one hand he sticks 1t
with the other. not letting it drop
Town until 1t is well bled out. Then.
after it is dead. he takes a cleaver and
cuts off the hoofs. and then knife and
cuts Oft the end of the nose, its ears
ind its tail: and then proceeds to
skin 1t.
SHINING a hog Is different from
skinning any other animal; the skin
has to be cut all the way around, 1t
can not be pulled or drawn off as the
hide OF beef can be. A black hog
skins harder than white one. After
the butcher has one skinned he fastens
his tackles to the hog and draws it up
to the required height and puts rope
or chain thru the gambrel and
fastens it.
BY the way, this work is always
lone inside the pen, out Of the cold and
wind, and the hogs are hung to the
rafters or beam. There is no fire to
bother with. no smoke to get in ones
eyes nor water to get cold. He will
take out the inwards and take off the
fat and. in fact, do every part of the
work for you. have had them kill

The marriage reform bill now be-
the matter of marriage instruction n
function OF the physicians. to whom all
candidates for matrimony must apply
for the course of instruction and from
whom they must receive certificate
before they can be given n license.
The effect of this will be 20 make ma
trimony still more expensive than 1t
now is, and the cost at present oper-
ates az a deterrent to many very ell
igible people. It is to be doubted
whether the physicians, who already
have great deal of legislation de-
signed to promote their pecuniary in-
terests need another law to add to
their emolun1ents. Resides this 1t
has been the consistent policy of the
state to make education free. Why
should not the course OF marriage in-
struction be grated on to the public
school system OF ire s'ate. There are
some facts now required In the schools
which might we'll be displaced by a
practical study Of this character?
Then the school ma'ams, most OF
whom ARE highly eligible for matri-
n,ony would be the first required to
take the course in order that they
might pass the necessary examination
for. a certificate authorizing them to
teach it and the examination Of other
candidates for matrimony might also
ba placed in the hands of the county
superintendent. BY this means edu-
cation along the lines Of martial re-
auirements and qualifications would
be made free to the people as it
should be, and there would be no me-
cessity OF anyone remaining in ignor-
a,lce for lack of the price.
