WHY NOT no 1T OURSELVES,
Other Countries Take Our Raw Cotton
and Export 10 In the Manufactured state.

WAsHINGT~S, Feb. l2.-Some figures
Just supplied TO a distinguished member
Of Congress by the Department nj Com
meroe and Labor through its Bureau Of
Statistics suggest the possibilities which
await the oOtton manufacturers Of the
United States when they may find time
o enter seriously upon the task Of turning
into the manufactured state the cotton
produced in this country and now supplied
in the natural state to the manufacturers
OF other countries
The figures in question show merely
the expo tadon of cotton manufactures
from Japan to China during term of years,
but as Japan draws largely from the United
States the raw cotton with which It pro-
duces the manufactures in question the
suggestion which they offer is naturally
an interesting one TO US These figures
Of exports OF cotton manufactures from
Japan to China show that the total value
OF cotton yarns exported in 1898 was 500.

cotton manufactures in 1909 1921, 1888,
and IN 1903 S20l3,5i making the total OF
cotton yarns and flushed cotton manu-
features sent from Japan TO China in 1893
S25l .363, and in 1908 Si6. l26,054
Meantime the quaint ty of raw cotton
exported from the Urited States to Japan
has grown from 1922 pounds in 1898 to
l6l, 60l, 2l0 pounds In 1900, the value OF
the same being in 1893 $eS. 423, and in 1900
Si2.7i26 $40. The quantity and value in 1908
were somewhat reduced by reason of the
very high prioe Of American cottons and
the fact that Japan In years OF high prices
in America turns for a part OF her cotton
supply TO India, where she finds shorter
staple and therefore lower prices.
The general fact, however, that Japan
increased her purchase OF cur raw cotton
from $6S 900 in 1893 to 81. 800 600 in 1903. and
In the same period increased her sales OF
manufactured cotton TO China from $751;
0n0 In 1893 to $4,000, 900 in 1908, suggests
the possibilities which await the cotton
manufacturers Of the United States when
they may choose TO turn the cotton pro-
duoed in this country into the finished state
before permitting IL TO pass to the cotton
consumers of the world.
Figures recently complied by the Bureau
OF Statistics show that the worlds exporta-
ton Of cotton manufactures amounts TO
about Se5s. 900 600 annually. of which $780,
900, 900 goes in the form OF cloths, sl52 600, :
900 as miscellaneous fniahed goods and
SOL 600 900 cotton yarns. OF the seSS,OoO :.
900 worth OF cotton goods thus exported
by the various countries Of the world Tor
which statistics are available. the United
States, although producing three-fourths
of the worlds raw cotton, exported in
1904 but $22 500 900 worth Of cotton manu-
features. OF which 81, 100 600 was cloths
81, 500 900 miscellaneous finished goods and
sl72 800 cotton yarn. In the same year,
1904 her importatious OF cotton goods were
$40. 500. coo in value, or more than twice as
great as the exports OF cotton goods in the
same period.

Graded MIX and Cream.

So far as we know, 1t was Professor
fraser OF the Illinois Experiment sta
ton that first suggested the grading
OF milk and cream for city use. We
believe this is a thing to be desired.
The farmer that sells cream to city
people has little conception of just
what kind of cream he should send
to market. There Is no standard. He
may send such a thin cream that he
loses his customers or he may send
such thick cream that he may keep
his customers, but bankrupt himself.
1t would be well to hare a standard
for the different kinds of dairy prod
ucts put on the market, and let the
buyer pay accordingly. If he wants
cream that is twenty per cent butter
fat, let him nave it, but If he wants a
cream that is thirty per cent pure
butter-fat, let him pay fifty per cent
more for that than for the cream that
contained only twenty per cent. Just
now the farmer Is really receiving pay
for about a twenty per cent cream,
but he frequently sends a cream that
is fully 30 per cent in richness. I'm
der system of graded cream he
would receive full pay for such
cream.

ing Financiers.

The absence from Wall street of
half dozen prominent financiers,
with the announcement that several
others intend to depart soon on ex-
tended trips, has excited interest in
the discussion respecting the power
Of very rich operators in the market
and arrangements by them to protect
their interests while away. Fifteen
years ago the market became nervous
whenever a powerful operator went
away or took sick and often broke
violently on rumors of his death. That
has all changed now owing to the elab-
crate arrangements made by most
rich men to protect their holdings
when they die and prevent hasty sell.

Wall street men nowadays make 1t
conditional upon joining forces with

death. These agreements are binding

Value of Competitive Tests.

cannot conceive how some people
attach the importance they do to
competitive tests of dairy cows at ex-
positions. That they have a value Is
certain, but 1t is not as great as many
people suppose. The tests do not
really prove the differences between
breeds. for the simple reason that
no one knows just what the average
OF any breed is and 1t is impossible
10 select cows that represent the
average. In fact, the good cows Sc
lected are generally very good cows,
and, as such, far above the ordinary
quality OF the breed But this does
not help to show differences between
breeds, for the breed that happens
TO have the best cows available for
test is not certain to be the best
breed. Also the breed that can pro-
duce few extraordinary mixers is
not as good as the breed that has
very large number Of good mixers.
so do not believe that competitive
tests on a limited scale will ever
show the real difference between any
two breeds. The value of such tests
consists in the accumulation OF a
vast amount of data, which furnish
valuable material for study in trying
to learn the truths concerning milk
production.

Flavor of Butter.

To very large extent the flavor
Of butter depends on the kind of bac-
terra working in the cream. 1t is
desired to have all of these OF the
species that produces Tactic acid fer
ment, for then the flavor will be both
clean and pleasant. But in too many
cases the bacteria belong to the put
reflective order and set up putrefac-
ton in the casein. There is gener-
ally little casein left in the butter,
in spite Of the work of the best but
ter-maker, and this casein forms a
base for the work of the putrefactive
bacteria. There are other bacteria
that cause decomposition of the fat
itself, and If these are present the
work of developing bad flavor goes
on rapidly. Pasteurization can do lit
tie to remedy this. if the undesirable
bacteria have been at work for few
hours. The problem is to keep them
out altogether.

CHILDREN AFFECTED.
BY Mothers Food and Drink,

Many babies have been launched into
life with constitutions weakened by
disease taken in with their mothers
milk. Mothers cannot be too careful
as to the food they use while nursing
their babes. The experience of
Kansas City mother is case in
point:
II was a great coffee drinker fromc
a child, and thought could not eat
meal without It. But found at last it
was doing me harm. For years had
been troubled with dizziness, spots be-
fore my. eyes and pain in my heart.
to which was added two years ago,
chronic sour stomach. The baby was
born months ago. and almost from
the beginning, it, too, suffered from
sour stomach. She was taking 1t
from me!
I'm my distress consulted friend
of more experience than mine, and
she told me to quit coffee, that coffee
did not make good milk, have since
ascertained that it really dries up the
milk.
$50, quit coffee, and tried tea and !
at last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then I turned to Postum
Coffee with the happiest results. IL
proved to be the very thing needed
1t not only agreed perfectly with baby
and myself. but it increased the flow
of my milk. My husband then quit
coffee and used Postum, quickly got
well of the dyspepsia with which he
had been troubled. I no longer suffer
from the dizziness, blind spells, pain
in my heart or sour stomach. Post
UNI has cured them.
Nov we all drink Postum from my

would not give up Postum for the best

The Ice Cream Trade,

Ice cream is not a new factor in
the market, but within the last few
years 1t has assumed an Importance
that it did not previously have. Many
farmers are finding it highly remu-
nerative to sell their cream for the
making Of ice cream. For this kind
of work, cream must be perfect. The
quality counts for a great deal. Clean
illness is an essential. A few farmers
with large herds of good dairy COWS
are making their own cream and sup
plying hotels, restaurants and picnic
parties. This adds manufacture to
production. 1t is doubtful if it win
pay most farmers to enter into the
manufacture of the ice cream when
they can sell it to some company or
man that makes a business of supply
ing ice cream. 1t will pay the farmer
to begin the manufacture of ice cream
if there is no one to whom he can soil
the raw cream to advantage.
