OuR COLONIAL TRADE.

Commerce Of the United States with
it's noncontigueus territory now aver
ages about eight million dollars per
month, and 1t is apparent that for the
full fiscal year lit will aggregate round
100 millions Of dollars. In the term
''noncontiguoua territory" are included
Alaska. the Hawaiian Islands, the
Philippine Islands, Guam, Tutuila and
Porto Rico. Records of their ship
ments to the ports of the United
States and of shipments from the var
ious ports to them are now regularly
presented by the department of conf
merce and labor thru its bureau Of
statistics.
These records show that the ship
ments from the United States to Alas
ka. Hawaii, Porto Rico. the Phillips
pines, Guam and Tutuila, aggregated
in the seven months ending With jan
suary. 1904, nearly twenty one million
dollars, and the merchandise received
from them In the same period, nearly
thirty one million dollars If to this
is added the gold bullion received from
Alaska, tbs. grand total of our COM
merce with the territory in question
for the seven months ending with jan
uary. would amount to nearly sixty
million dollars, which makes it quite
apparent that for the fiscal year end
ing with June so, next, the total Will
be fully 100 million dollars.
OF the shipments to these noncon-
tiguous territories, the largest total for
the seven months under consideration
is. to Hawaii. $7,224,156 worth of do
mestic merchandise and Of foreign
merchandise $52,677. Porto Rico is
next as purchaser from the various
ports OF the United States, the total
shipments TO that island in the seven
months In question being S6,454.417
worth OF domestic merchandise and
$266,910 worth of foreign merchandise.
To Alaska the shipments from the
United States during the same time
were, of domestic products, s3.so4.4 51,
and Of foreign products. S16.12s. To
the Philippines our shipments during
the seven months ending with Jan.
uary, 1904, We're. of domestic merchan-
disc. s2,s5S.7s6, and of foreign mer-
chandise sl.o4o. To Guam and Tu-
tuila our shipments during the period
in question were s2l.43O. making a
total OF $4,000, 42s.

THE NEW SUGGESTION CURE.

Corr Contest Notes.

Patriotism, like charity should begin
at home The boys of Marshall county
may not for some years be able to 90
much for the negroes in the south. the
Jews in Russia, the natives of the Phil
lippines of those of Mars; but, there is
a chance for them to take part TINS
summer in a work both patriotic and
humanitarian yet at the same time OF
direct personal profit.
That the average yield OF corn may
be nearly or quite doubled is too gem
orally admitted to need argument
What more worthy, practical ambition
can the boys exercise than to help start
a concerted movement TO that end!
Separate individual efforts are not like
ly to go far; but, cooperation with the
farmers ms itute, the county farm ex-
periments and the agricultural college
at Arnes should really accomplish
something and give permanent inter
est. while tie friendly contest for priz-
es lends a passing charm.
A word of caution against too great
expectations; may not be amiss. for 1T
should be understood we can do little
in one season than make a good begin
ming. 1t may take years to perfect the

likes Medium Sized Litters.

Undoubtedly, one can go to the ex-
treme in either direction in the matter
of the number of pigs per litter. zoo
MANY IN the litter when farrowed are
sure to result In at least portion OF
them being small and lacking in vital
itv. If the SOW succeeds in saving more
of these than she can care for properly
the result is an uneven lot or pigs ana
a greater or less number of runts that
are lacking in vigor and afford more
ready foothold for disease. Mr.. Ed
Klever, the veteran Poland China
breeder. writing In the Swineherd on
this subject, says:
MANY breeders and farmers like ex-
tremely large filters, thinking therein
is the greater profit. I doubt thls-for
nv experience of thirty five years as
n breeder of thoroughbred hogs has
taught me that the sows that farrow
from seven to ten pigs to the litter
save larger number than those that
farrow from twelve to fifteen to the lit
ter. And 1 have learned, too. that the
pigs in the medium sized filters are
stronger as pigs and more valuable as
hogs than those that composed the
extremely large filters. II l can get
sows to save seven or eight pigs each
these numbers are satisfactory to me.
"If we want filters that are uniform
in size and desirable in number we
must select brood sows that are large
and roomy, good sows chosen from lit
ters that were strong and even ana
containing a goodly number. The con-
dition of sire and dam at the time OF
service believe will help determine the
number of pigs that will be farrowed
and the care the mother and her litter
receive will determine the number
saved and raised.
1--WE can not expect sows that have
been starved from spring to fall to
produce, the following spring, large.
fine even litters of pigs. On the other
hand. we can not expect sows that
have been full fed on corn the entire
summer and fall to give desirable 1T
tiers either in quality or numbers.
These two extremes must be avoided
and we must intelligently look after
their wants and care for them in this
interval of rest.
"Sows that have raised a spring lit
ter should have the run OF a clover
field and If very thin in flesh they
should have some additional feed for
time. If the clover becomes dried
up later in the season they should be
fed some oats or corn. Oats are prefer
able not too much however. But they
should not be allowed to get poor or
out Of condition. AS long as the clover
is fresh and green they will not need

deserved reputation as plant that
would not thrive and which was of UNI
certain growth. Those who We're en-
thusiastic in its favor recommended II
as a plant that could be seeded by scat
tering the seeds in standing corn, on
ground that had not been prepared, anu
that ii would grow and thrive under
any conditions. Considering the fact
that no crop can be produced when the
seeding is so carelessly done, and under
such treatment as was ADVISED ths
wonder is that crimson clover renamed
q favorite so long 1t is not oliiacuie
to secure stand of crimson clover, put
while it is hardy and can endure many
drawbacks. yet to succeed with 1t there
must be judgement used in preparing
the land.
The value of crimson clover is not as
a food for stock, but as crop 10 De
plowed under in the spring. Clover
derives a large share of its nitrogen
from the atmosphere, thru the agency OF
minute organisms, and as nitrogen is
the most costly fertilizer that the far

uhle plant food that would be carried
away by rains and SHOWS on bare soil
hence 1t not only adds nitrogen TO the
soil. but prevents the loss of that ex-
listing therein. and so rapid Is It's
growth In early spring that 1t Is usu-
ally high enough to be plowed under
by the time corn planting must be
done. Farmers who have grown rye
know that rye covers the ground and
provides late pasturage for stock when
other green food is scarce. and IT also
gives the early green food after winter
Us past. Crimson clover will keep pace
with rye In that respect, being the
first ito push ahead in spring and pro-
vide early green food should 1t be re-
ouired. but the main object IN growing
crimson clover should be that of turn
ing it under, as it is more valuable tor
that purpose than any other crop in
comparison with the cost and period
Of time during which such a crop IS
secured. Every piece of land that con-
tains no crop should be seeded down
to crimson clover.
