How to Better the Home Town.

one enterpriSing farmer writing to
an agricultural paper states that he
has found that I've could sell his honey
for better prices in his home town
than in the large cities. lie advises
every producer Of honey living near Il
town Of 1.OOO people or more to cul-
tivate the market ana claims that in
a place of that size a ton of honey
should be sold each year. He says
that if every producer of honey should
rush his crop to the big cities as soon
as gathered the price to the producer
would go down to bed rock and the
home market be bare unless returned
by commission men to local dealers.
lie advises also the following of the
same plan with other products of the
farm. His advice is worth careful con
sideration, says Home Trade Advocate.

AMERICAN HOUSES CLOSE.
Doors Will Remain Fastened Until
Boycott Is Modified.


San Francisco. Dec. 30--According
to the latest reports received here from
the orient the boycott in China has
become so serious that a number Of
American houses have closed their
doors until conditions change.
Among the arrivals here from the
orient on the steamer Coptic Is Mr..
Van SAINT. who represented local firm
ing of the boycott. said: THE situa-
ton in China is very serious and there
IS at~olutely nothing in the stories that
the feeling against American goods
have lessened. II has now extended to
seventeen provinces. and In Canton
and Hankow the situation il just as
bad as in Shanghai. Americans are
not doing 20 per cent of the business
they formerly did and at Hongkong
the Chinese are purchasing Australian
flour at a much higher price than
quoted by Americans The Chinese
state they will not trade with Ameri
cans until there are notifications OF
the exclusion laws. but this ! told them
is hardly probable In the event Of the
United States falling to pass a law
less stringent than the present one the
Chinese VIII adopt more drastic meas
ures The boycott has developed into
an init foreign feeling and British and
German business concerns in the orient
are suffering the loss of considerable
trade"
