Greatest Exporter of Domestic

The United States stands. at the

the head of the list of worlds export
ing nations, so far as relates to the
expectation of domestic products
This fact is shown by series of
tables just presented by the depart

There-are only three 'billion-dollar
countries considered from the stand
point of expectation of domestic pro-
ducts, and they are. in the order OF
the magnitude Of their exports, the
United States, the United Kingdom,
aud Germany. In the calendar year
1908 the exports of domestic products
were: From the. United States. 81,

No correct estimate OF the na1mbee
of eggs and fowls consumed in this
country can be made, while the United
States census report is unreliable from
the fact that census is taken only
once in ten years, which renders it
difficult to learn what was accom-
plished during each decade. That the
value OF poultry and eggs consumed in
this country may be placed beyond the
northumberland lion-dollar mark is adj
mitted, but it is believed that the value
is much greater than even the most
sanguine have estimated. In addition
to the revenue derived from poultry, II
may be mentioned that the fowls af-
ford a market for q larger proportion
of the grains. animal foods and mill
products Of the United States, as they
consume more IN proportion to weight
than cattle, horses, sheep or swine. as
well as effeeting a saving of many
feods on the farms that would be lost
without their aid The millions OF
fowls, many of them owned by resi-
dents in towns. villages and suburbs
of cities, can not exist without foods,
and the enormous production OF poul-
try and eggs means that the fowls are
large consumers, and greatly contrib
ute to the creation Of markets for
farm prodacts.-FaFm ana Fireside.

Just at this juncture the growing of
sugar cane is attracting the attention
OF not only the farmers of the south
but the entire world, as being the most
lucrative staple crop that the earth
IS capable of producing. An admitted

the most certain and by far the best

counted on, with an absolute certainty

Mr.. Rpddenberry had 46 acres plants

three acres for seed during the year
and used 43 acres in making strip.
This cane netted about 2o1a tons per
acre and made 1882 gallons of strip,
$1,000 gallons of which was put in cans
and sold at an average Of 80 cents a
gallon, exclusive of the package. and

tributed By those holding Office It took
| the politicians some time to appreciate
the full significance Of the Law which
congress passed forbidding anyone APP
preaching government employees with
demands for campaign money It is
fully appreciated now. however. and the
clerks II the departments here are free
from such demands.
This does not mean that campaign
contributions are not made by govern
ment employees. Most of them feel that
it is their duty to aid the parties to
which they belong to win elections and
obtain control Of the government, SO
they voluntarily send in their mites.
This feeling IS pretty general among
the male employees. but now that the
women in the government service un-
derstand that there is nothing to CONS
pei them to give, are rather chary in ofs
fering Of their comfortable salaries to
the treasury Of either political party.
The civil service regulations and laws
have removed one source Of enthusiasm
in national elections by prohibiting the
promise OF positions or promotion as
result Of political activity.
