AFAcT PROVEN.
Should Convince Even the Most Skep-
tical OF Its Truth.

II there Is the slightest doubt in the
minds of any that Dandruf germs do not
exist, their belief is compelled by the
fact that a rabbit innoculated with the
germs became bald in six weeks time.
It must be apparent to any person
therefore that the only prevention of
badness Is the destruction of the germ
which act is successfully accomplished
in one hundred per cent. Of cases by
the application of Newbro's Herpicide.
DAndruff is caused by the same germ
which causes badness and can be pre-
vented with the same NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

agriculture. Thus while in 1851 we sold
abroad agricultural matter to the value
of $146,717, 4S1, but 1882, 400 was for
animal matter, the remainder being for
vegetable matter, principally grains.
Twenty years later. 1871, we sold
abroad agricultural products to the
value of 1870, 4S1, 939, of which $42 45S,-
451, or ia per cent, was for animal
matter. Of the 1857, 1883 sales of
agricultural products abroad in 1902.
1855, 416,722, or 29.3 per cent, was for
animal matter.
Of the vegetable matter wheat and
wheat flour forms by far the largest
item in our exports of grain. In 1851
we sold abroad $1,026,725 bushels of
wheat, receiving for it $1,025,732 BY
1871 our exports of wheat had grown
to 81 ,304,906, for which we received
$45, 143, AGA. In 1902 we sold abroad 1884,
$780, 02 bushels, receiving for it $112,-
S75,222. In the range of prices the year
1865 shows the top notch. when export
wheat brought on an average for the
year $195. The minimum was in 1896.
when the average price for the year
was but 65h cents per bushel. From
1853 to 1884 the average price of wheat
for export went below the one dollar
mark but two years, 1889 and 1860.
Since 1884 the price has 0een steadily
below the dollar mark, with the eN-

ception of the year 1892, when it was
$103 Of wheat flour our exports
amounted to 2202,335 barrels in 1851,
valued at $10,524 1871. In 1902 we ex-
ported 17,759,203 barrels, valued at Co.,
661 ,974. The minimum price per bar
rel for flour was reached in 1895, when
it sold for 1888; the maximum price
was in 1865 when it reached $1O.41.
From 1853 to 1884 flour never sold for
less than five dollars per barrel. Since
1894 it has sold for over four dollars
a barrel but one year. 1898, when 1t
averaged $4.51.
The largest item in our agricultural
exports is that of cotton. The growth
of home manufacture has prevented
the same wonderful growth in expor-
tation that is shown by other lines. In
1851 it formed the bulk Of our agricul-
tural exports. In that year we sold
abroad 927, 237 ,OS9 pounds, for which
we received $112,315,317. In 1902 we
sold 1898, 974 ,636 pounds, for which we
received 1921 ,598,356. Cotton reached
the highest average price in 1864, when
it sold for the year at 82R cents per
pound, though the smallest amount ex-
ported was two years earlier when we
shipped by 5,064,564 pounds. The low
est average price of cotton was in 1899.
when it sold for but 5h cents per
pound.
Corn, while a heavy item in our ex-
port trade, shows remarkable varia-
ton in total values from year to year.
This is illustrated by the year 1901
and 1902 In the former we exported
III, 817 ,965, for which we received $82,-
527, 1888, while in the latter we export
ed but 26,636,552 bushels, for which we
received 16,185,673. The annual aver
age expectation of corn for the ten
years ending 1861 was 5,150,309 bush
els; for the ten years ending 1871, it
was 10061, 108 bushels; for the ten
years ending 1881, it was 53,643, 470;,
for the ten years ending 1891, it was
81, psf, 957, and for the ten years end
ing 1901, it was III, 436,483. The price
has ranged from 301A cents in 1897 to
81 81 in 1865.

is shown by the chart printed with
this article.
Notwithstanding the great increase
in population, and the consequent
larger demands of the home market,
the development of agricultural pro-
ductivity in the United States during
the past so years has far outstripped
domestic requirements, leaving an in
creasing surplus to be disposed OF in
foreign markets. According to the re-
turns for 1851, which comprise the
earliest record given in the department
our agricultural exports for that year
were valued at STAT, 100000, while in
1902, the latest year for which sta
tistics are available, the value amount
ed to 1857 100000 The striking differ
ence between these two records shows
how rapidly this branch of our COM
merce has developed. The present valae
of the trade is nearly six times as large
as the value so years ago.
While our export trade in agricul-
tural produce has grown marvelously
still larger growth proportionately
has occurred in the expectation of
manufactured products, and thus the
percentage that agricultural produce
comprises of all merchandise exported
is considerably less to-day than it was
a half century ago. Of the merchan-
disc sent abroad in 1851 products of
agriculture formed about 81 per cent,
whereas in 1902 the proportion agri-
cultural was only GO per cent. The
change indicated by these percentages
has been particularly rapid during the
last two decades. 1t is explained in
part by the more extensive manufac-
ture in the United States Of certain
raw materials of agricultural origin
previously shipped in large quantities
to foreign countries.
An interesting feature disclosed by
the records of our agricultural export
trade for the past so years is the in
creased importance of animal products
in that trade as compared with vege-
table products. In 1851 95 per cent. of
the agricultural exports consisted of
vegetable matter and only five per cent.
of animal matter Of the exports for
1902 vegetable matter comprised about
II per cent and animal matter about
20 per cent. These figures show the
extent to which our export trade has
been affected by the growing promi-
nence of stock raising in American

WISCONSIN STATE NEWS.
Famous War Governor Daad

James T. Lewis, the famous war
governor of Wisconsin, died in Column
bus, aged SO years, from apoplexy. Mr.
Lewis gave President Lincoln strong
aid during the war by promoting a
plan by which four states furnished
100000 men for post duty and to
guard Notifications. Mr.. Lewis was
born and reared in the state of New
York, where he studied law and was
admitted to the bar as a young man.
He went to Wisconsin when it was a
territory, and settled in Columbus,
then a frontier town. He hung out
his shingle and bought tracts of land
which he knew would be valuable. He
was elected secretary of the state in
1861. After serving as governor he
was appealed to by thousands of adj
mirers to run again, but he refused.
He then retired from politics.

- HE marked success of the
N1&A United States in competing
v III " for the worlds markets, a
NWEX success which has stirred
=@N@e= the countries of Europe to
renewed efforts to prevent
their losing their hold upon the COM
merce of that and other continents,
has aroused an unusual interest in ex-
port figures among our own people.
Especially is this true of the farming
classes. They have an interest not
only in the selling their products and
the price it brings, but they wish to
know where it is consumed, and what
demand it is that makes the price.
Such a demand from this class of the
American people marks an increased
intelligence in the marketing of farm
products.
To meet the demand that has arisen
from the farmers for information of
this kind the agricultural department
at Washington has issued from time
to time a series of pamphlets giving
a mass of detailed figures which should
prove of exceptional interest. These
booklets show the increase in exports
of agricultural exports from 1851 to
1902, inclusive, and show also the value

as there is no trick about it. Take q

set, as you please. Line them up solidly
against the cusLion. Take one ball in
your hand, held against the cushion,
and push it against the balls still in
line You will find that but one ball will
leave the other end of the line and go
into the pocket. Now take two balls and
follow the same operation. Two balls
will leave the other end of the line and
go into the pocket. Now take three, and
three balls will leave the other end Of

in each hand, held closely together,

WHITE MICE CAUSE PANIC

Willie Fitzgerald, a newsboy of At
1antic City, n. j., was carrying six white
mice in a box down the board walk one
day recently, when a rolling chair hit
him, causing him to drop the box. The
lid flew open and out jumped the mice.
The walk was crowded with hundreds
of men, women and children, and the
feminine contingent scattered in all di-
rections. Neither direction nor the
manner of going was considered, the
women giving vent to heartrending
yells.

who learned much about athletics while
