BOYCOTT IS WEAK
CHINA STILL CONSUM-
ING AMERICAN GOODS.
Exports From Puget Sound Ports
Have Rapidly Increased in Both
Japan and China-One Hundred
Per Cent Increase Has Been En-
joyed In Many Lines of Export
Trade.

Notwithstanding the many reports
which have been brought to this coun-
try regarding the boycott on Amerl-
can goods in China the trade IN
American goods exported to that and
other countries of the orient continue
to increase with unprecedented rapid
ity.
Figures compiled from customs
house reports and published by the
department of commerce and labor
show that in some lines at least there
has been an increase over the statis-
tics of last year of 100 per cent
The exports from the Puget sound
customs district, for the nine months
of this year for instance, amounted In
value to $39,349,425 as compared with
but S16,029,O17 for the corresponding
period of last year. Apparently the
Chinese boycott has not materially
initiated against the export trade %
this customs district.
The exports for the nine months oi
cotton to Japan amounted to 256,93C
bales weighing 137,372,445 pound:
and valued at s13,673,412 as compared
with 2S,095 bales for the correspond
ing period in 1904 weighing 14,S4S,2 ,21t
pounds and valued at $1,799,622. Ap
parently there is no boycott on Ameri
can goods in Japan.
The exports for the nine months o.
cotton cloth to the Chinese empire
amounted to 431,673,26S yards valued
at $25,566,2S6 as compared with 127,'
772, $50 yards valued at $7,319,95S fol
the corresponding period of last year
an increase of more than 200 per cent
From this 1t is plainly apparen
that the Chinese boycott has not ye

INTEREST AT WASHINGTON.
Much Concern Felt, But Little Shown
in the Election.

Washington, D. c., Nov. Wash
ington presents the usual election-day
anomaly today in that, while there is
no locality which possesses and feels
a deeper interest in the result of the
political contests in the several states,
there is no real outward local mani
festation of that interest. This Is due
to the fact that citizens of the Dis
trict of Columbia are disfranchised,
and are thus rendered incapable OF
actual participation in a political con-
test.
Business in the government depart
ments is apparently progressing as
usual, but many desks are vacant

Crusade Against Wood Alcohol.

Washington, Nov. THE assist
ance of the American Federation of
Labor has been asked by the painters
international union in a crusade
against the use of wood alcohol in
the mixing of paints and varnishes.
The union has mads an investigation
of the nature and effects of wood al
cohol, consulting many medical auth
critics and has come to the conclu-
sion that the only remedy is in a fed
eral law prohibiting its use. Conse-
quently the coming session of con-
gress is to be asked to place a high
tax on wood alcohol, high enough, in
fact, to make its use prohibitive. A
similar crusade is to be undertaken
also by the painters union in Cana
da.

ONLY GUARANTEED
CATARRH CURE.
'Hyomei Costs You Nothing II II
Fails" Say Tallman * Co.


Among the many medicines upon
the market that claim to cure catarrh
none but Hyomei has enough faith in
it's own merit to offer to refund the
money If it does not cure.
This scientific remedy for catarrh
kills the microbes and germs of the
disease and from its Introduction has
been sold under a positive guarantee
to return the money to all dissatisfied
customers.
Hyomei is the only method of treat
ment that sends by direct inhalation
to the most remote parts of the air
passages, a balsamic air that destroys
all catarrhal germs in the breathing
organs, enriches and purifies the
blood with additional ozone, and
makes permanent and complete cures
of catarrh.
The complete outfit costs $1.00 and
comprises an inhaler, a bottle of Hyo-
mel and a dropper. The inhaler will
last lifetime, and additional bottles
of Hyomei can be obtained for SO
cents.
Breathe Hyomei for a few minutes
four times a day, and your catarrh will
grow better from the first days use
and will be completely cured within
short time.
| Do not try to cure catarrh with or.
dinary stomach medicines. Breathe
| the healing Hyomei which goes tC
every part of the air passages and re-
spiratory organs, killing the catarrf
germs and preventing their growth.
1t is the only treatment for catarrf

Poultry Notes

A recommended cholera cure is
tablespoonful of alum in quart OF
drinking water.
In feeding green bone, give one
pound to sixteen fowls or an ounce
to each chicken. Never feed more than
that amount as it might physic them
overmuch.
By experimenting, it has been
found that hen will eat, on an aver
age. three ounces of the morning
mash, two ounces of grain at noon,
and four ounces of grain at night.
Turpentine, carbolic acid and iodine
are three other ingredients that should
be kept on hand in the poultry house
Turpentine and carbolic acid are good
in cases of roup, and iodine to anoint
the sores in cases of chicken pox.
One of the indispensables of poul-
try-keeping is sulphur. 1t is. cheap,
handy and useful. One of it's best
uses is for fumigation. A pan of
sulphur burned in a closed hen house
will destroy every louise, kill disease
germs, and render an unhealthy house
fit for the habitation of fowls. A lit

Fatteninq Poultry.

In fattening poultry it should be
borne in mind that the more fowls
can be induced to eat and digest the
quicker they will fatten. Good,
sound corn is one of the best foods
for fattening fowls, yet it should not
be fed alone. Poultry need to have
their rations balanced just as well as
other live stock on the farm.
A plan followed successfully by the
writer has been as follows: The
morning and evening meal was made
up of cornmeal mixed with milk and
seasoned with salt The noon ra-
ton consisted of whole corn and
wheat, with a little vegetable food or
meat scraps. The latter may be Civ
en- for change, or blood meal can be
employed. We have used some poul-
try foods with success; in feeding
such foods feed small rather than
large quantities. Such foods keen
the appetite sharpened and aid di-
gestiOn.
Keep a good supply of clean water
and a box of sharp, gritty gravel be-
fore the poultry at all times. FOOD
should not be allowed to lie before
the fattening birds, but they should
have at each meal all that will be
eaten up clean.
Fowls will continue to improve and
make profitable gains just so lone
as they eat with relish. The time
required to fit poultry in the fatten-
ing pens will depend wholly upon the
skill of the feeder. From ten days TO
two weeks is the time usually requlr-
ed for fattening chickens. Chickens
are best fattened in coops or small
pens that are not overcrowded. The
same is true of ducks. Goslings tat
ten best in small pens or yards, but
old geese will fatten readily when
running at large. Turkeys do not
fatten we'll in confinement, but do
better when allowed to range, BIZ
plenty of fattening food must be sup
piled.

laxative and blood purifier, is benef-
cial. The fowls will be all the better
for it if used judiciously.
Overcrowding the poultry house is
dangerous business and should never
be practiced. Better kill half the
flock. Hens in crowded quarters get
the egg-eating and feather-pulling hab-
it's and are much more liable to con-
tract disease. Either get more room
or dispose of a portion of the flock.
For cold among your chickens and
as a preventative of roup, battle their
heads and threats with the following
mixture: One teaspoonful of lard,
one teaspoonful of camphor, one tea
spoonful of coal oil, one-half teaspoon
full of turpentine and ten drops of car
bolic acid. There is nothing better.
Apply twice daily.

Remedy for Worms in Fowls.

A teaspOOnfuI Of turpentine in eV-
cry pint of cornmeal, adding the same
quantity of sulphur, should be given
to six fowls once a day, moistening
the meal to a stiff dough. But first
empty the intestines, by Withholding
all food for forty-eight hours Give
the mixture for three Or four days
Worms must come from somewhere,
SO put the fowls on clean ground.
If they will not eat the mixture, force
or fourth day give it once a week
for two weeks, always fasting the
fowl for forty eight hours before be-
ginning, but it is not necessary to
fast the fowls but once (when CO

Artificial Incubation.

Future progress in poultry opera
lions will disclose methods that are
now deemed difficult There is no
doubt of the fact that some day the
incubator will perform nearly all the
work of Matching chicks on the farm,
and choice poultry will be as cheap as
beef, being within the province of all
to procure. There is much mission
airy work on artificial Matching to
be done, however, before the farmers
adopt incubators and brOoders. The
great difficulty with them is that
when a farmer procures an incubator
he loses sight of the hen. He expects
the incubator to do what the hen can
not perform, and that is to bring
chicks out of unhatchable eggs. In
fact, no farmer will set a hen on eggs
unless he makes an attempt to Sc
lect those that are perfect, but he
will fill an incubator drawer full of
eggs that vary in size, shape and in
many other respects. A glance at an
incubator drawer will disclose eggs
ranging from the size of large mar.
bles to those that are so large and
round as to appear as though double
yolked. Such eggs may include only
one-fourth of those that are worthy
of trial. What is the result? Sim
ply that the incubator produces but
few chicks, and the farmer loses
large number of eggs that he would

have marketed had he used no incu-
bator 1t may be stated, however,
that the hens can do no better with
such eggs. There are eggs that will
produce chicks, and there are those
that will not hatch under any circum-
stances. When chicks die in the
shells, progress until ready to come
out and then fail, the cause is not
the incubator, but in the eggs, or
rather the hens that laid the eggs, as
each egg may be good or bad for the
purpose, according to the physical
condition of the hen that produced
it. When incubators are used NOR
generally poor matches will not be
always ascribed to the machines, but
greater attention will be given tn
hens in order that the eggs may be
more suitable for the purpose. When
this is done fewer failures will re-
suit and artificial incubation will be-
come a portion of the farm routine.

be safely ascribed to some cause pc
culiar to the individual. For in
