American Cheese Production.

Twenty years ago the cheese supply
Of Great Britain was largely furnished
by the United States, but to-day Can
ada has taken the lead and far out
stripped us as an exporter of this COM
modify. In 1880 the United States
sent 131, 2OS,776 pounds of cheese to
Great Britain, while in 1904 only
%, 10000 pounds were shipped to that
country. Canada, on the other hand,
exported over 100000 pounds twen-
ty-five years ago as against PIP. 862,322
pounds last year. This loss of trade,
however, has not been injurious, but
on the other hand, is caused through
an excess Of consumption at home over
production, while reverse conditions
prevail with our Canadian neighbor.
Canada was thus forced to seek the
British markets for her plethora and
to fill up the place left vacant in that
market by the withdrawal of the Unit
ed States therefrom.
While the United States, in
1900, manufactured nearly 2S2, 100000
pounds of cheese, the per capita fac
tory production was only 81 pounds,
whereas, on the other hand, in 1901,
Canada produced 224,0O0,O00 pounds,
furnishing nearly 41.S pounds for each
inhabitant. 1t is therefore shown, by
a report from Consul General Hollo-
way, of Halifax, that the Canadian
export trade to which every one of
our neighbors points with pride was
not gained at the expense of the Unit
ed States, for they must export their
cheese or get "snowed under" The
United States can not keep up in pro-
duction with our increasing home con-
sumption.

. CARRY A BIG STICK.
Cane Preferred to Revolver by
Detectives.

"President Roosevelt's epigram-
Speak softly and carry a big stick
has been quoted all over the world,
said an expert fencing master, who
has taught sword practice in a dozen
of the worlds capitals. "And it is
good advice literally as well as figu-
ratively. Do not provoke quarrels;
avoid them if YOU can. But be pre-
pared for a tight corner. Many night
policemen and detectives carry stout
canes in preference to revolvers. The
stick is always ready in all wea-
theirs. The revolver must be car
ried in the pocket, and only an expert
can fash it on the instant. When
you are in situation where your stick
is needed do not figure on using it as
a club. An agile man can dodge the
sweep Of stick. and knife you before
you recover your guard. Carry the
stick with the tip somewhat in adj
vance, grasping it firmly six inches
or more below the knob or handle.
If you are confronted by an adver-
sary give him a sudden, hard thrust
with the small end. The stomach is
a most vulnerable point, and If you
catch him fairly the chances are ten
to one that he will double up like a
jack-knffe. Before he recovers you
can withdraw the stick and hand him
one on the head or the back of the
neck that will put him out Of business
for some time to come.
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1905-11-17
THE WOODMAy'S STRIDE.



A woodman walks with a rolling
motion, his hips swaying an inch or
more to the stepping side, and his pace
is CORRESPONDENCE long. His hip ac-
ton may be noticed to an exaggerated
degree in the stride of professional
pedestrian, but the latter walks with a
heel-and-toe step, whereas an Indians
or sailors step is more nearly flatfooted.
In the latter case the center of gravity
is covered by the whole foot. The poise
is as secure as that Of rope walker.
The toes are pointed straight forward,
or even a trifie inward, SO that the in
side of the heel, the outside Of the ball
of the foot, and the smaller toes all do
their share of work and assist in bal
ancing. Walking in the woods in this
manner, one is not so likely to trip over
projecting roots, stones and other traps
as he would be If the feet formed
hooks by pointing outward. The ad-
vantage is obvious in snowshoeing. If
the Indian were turned to stone while
in the act Of stepping, the statue would
probably stand balanced on one foot
His gait gives the limbs great control
over his movements. He is always
poised. If stick cracks under him it
is because of his weight, and not by
reason of the impact. He goes silently
on, and with great economy of force.
His steady balance enables him to put
his foot down as gently as you would
lay an egg on the table.
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1905-11-17

this country largely depended upon
foreign markets for seeds, but between
1860 and 1870 as many seed farms
were established as had been during
the thirty years before the conflict.
Growers also became expert and the
market gardener found he could get
from the seedmen just as good seed
as he could save himself and at less
cost. The business of seed-raising in
creased rapidly after the war, farms
being established in various parts of
the eastern United States. In 1875
seed growing commenced in Califor-
acres to beets, onions, lettuce and car
rots for seed purposes.
Two Thousand Acre Seed Farm.
From this beginning the business has
grown to enormous proportions. Now
a single firm of growers devotes annu-
ally some 1000 acres to seed crops.
Onion and lettuce are staple seed
crops, while carrot, celery. leek, en-
dive, kale, kohl-rabi, Jarsnips and
parsley are all grown by California
seed growers.
While the census of 1890 showed
that there were in the United States
500 seed farms, containing 169,5
dcIto, tie ceiiSuS VI lJOU, Win luCOUl-
plete returns, showed more than $500
seed farms. The Census Office made
an effort to collect statistics of seed
growing farms, but owing to the re-
fusal of a number of the large firms
handling seed to furnish the names of
the farmers growing seed for them,
the information secured was very in
complete.
Not small part of seed growing Is
devoted to the raising of flower seed.
Flower seeds have been regularly

Nebraska.

ing the War for Independence the ad-
yertising of this commodity appar-
emily ceased, although it is hardly be-
lieved that there was not time but
what one could purchase seeds in any
of the large cities OF that period.
A Pioneer Scotsman.
In 1874. David Landreth commenced
operations in Philadelphia; Bernard
M'Mahon, in that same city in $500,
while in 1905, Grant Thorburn began
to sell seeds in New York. By 1880
the population had increased from
about three million in 1890, to ten
and a half millions. To meet the
growing demand for vegetables ana
flowers. these ten and a half millions
required more than three and half
times as many seeds as were used in
1890. Dealers established themselves
in the principal cities and crossed the
mountains.
Along with the reaching out for
trade came the increasing size and
prominence of the catalogue. The ear
lest seed catalogues were mere lists
not intended for general distribution.
Thorburn probably issued the first
seed catalogue as early as 1923.
shortly after the civil war the cata-
logue became more prominent. Its
size was increased and few illustra-
tons appeared. Novelties were not as
numerous twenty years ago as they
are today; they were not given so
much attention either. Today there is
not an important catalogue but gives
considerable space to novelties.
Seedsmen are on the alert for novel
ties; they are the money makers. The
modern catalogue, with its profusely
illustrated pages while in sense the

Seeds terminate Quickly.

Most seeds will terminate in from
three to ten days. The apparatus re-
quired is very simple-a pan, some
cotton flannel or cotton batting, little

half-tones and color plates. The bar
rel of peas first sold in Newport has
grown to hundreds of bags, and the
few thousand packets to millions. The
modern seed house has every mechani-
cal contrivance to aid in making the
business economical and systematic.
From the cellar to the mailing room
everything is so arranged that orders
may be filed with accuracy and dis
patch. During the late summer and
early fall catalogues are prepared for
mailing. and seeds packed in readiness
for distribution. While one hundred
letters day was considered large
business thirty years ago, some houses
now receive over six thousand daily
during the busy season.
OF course to supply this enormous
trade much attention must be paid to
the growing Of the seed. The present
development of garden-seed growing
began when David Landreth estab-
lished small seed farm at Philadel-
phia in 1884. During the Civil War

kitchen. A stitch In time often saves
nine, and a little trouble a month be-
fore planting time may make the
farmer or the gardener considerable
money and conduce greatly to his hap
pfness and good temper. Nothing is
certainly more aggravating than to
pillow, fine the ground well, plant, and
then, as the golden moments of spring
slip by, wait in vain for the young
plants to appear, or secure only half

both with regard to their germinative
quality and their trueness to name.
There is great opportunity for adulter-
alton, and many farmers are apt to
consider they are saving money if they
can get seeds at a reduced rate, find
ing out when it is too late that they
have been swindled with false varie-
ties or that perhaps so per cent. Of
their seeds fail utterly of termination.
Personal Seed Tests.
The average farmer, however, would
do well to carry on a little seed test
ing establishment of his own each
year, and this course is advocated by
the Department of Agriculture. In
