The growing commerce of the
United States with Cuba is shown by
the statistics for the fiscal year 1906,
which ended June 80. The increase in
shipments to Cuba, while visible in
many articles, occurs chiefly in the
manufactures of iron and steel. of
which the total exports to the island
were $9,S79,GiS, against $6.1Gi.9OS In
1905. The total American exports TO

by Prot. John A. Craig, late of the
and now Dean of The Texas Agri-
cultural school. Prof. Craig is noted
for being an observing and practical
man. His remarks are true and con-
stitute veritable sermon for North
western farmers who are looking
head at the future.
NO matter what line of farming
is followed. their is usually some
waste on the farm and taking care of
this waste Is one of the economical
features of stock raising. When a
single crop is made speciality 1t
depletes the soil OF the constituents
taken from it which enter most large
ly into that crop AS it Is the weak
est link which determines the strength
of a chain, so 1t is the absence of
some essential element which weak
ems the fertility OF the soil.
ITO make the best of stock rails
ing clear in this connection. let me
say briefly. that when $50 worth OF
wheat is sold at the rate OF 81 per
bushel. there has been sold from the
farm in this transaction SIS worth of
fertilizer. That is ii you had t. buy
the same constituents liz the :ertil-
izer market that you sold in the
wheat, you would have to pay SIS to
features OF stock raising. When
fat steer is sold. weighing 400
pounds, and bringing somewhere near
$50 the same price We got fol the
wheat. only $a.S0 worth of fertility
has been removed from the farm.
When about the same value OF fat
sheep have been sold say II head,
bringing $50. only 81 worth of teltil-
ity has left the farm. and about the
same holds true when head of
hogs weighing 200 pounds. ere also
sold for $50. Most other crops de-
plete the soil as much az, wheat. so
that one may carry out this applica-
ticn to other crops.
The point wish to make is that.
in disposing OF our crops we should
market. and sell fat stock instead of
the crude product. While stock rails
ing bears very close elation TO the
fertility of the soil. and proves a valu-
able adjunct in this connection. yet
there are other features connected
with it which more directly bear upon
the profits. Live stock. especially
where they are growing. may utilize
to good advantage. great deal Of
material that might Otherwise go TO
waste The great grass crop which
would amount to nothing otherwise,
is made source of revenue by put
ing live stocy upon it. Coarse fod-
ders. which are easily and cheaply
grown. and fit into any rotation. rcadi-
ly. are made marketable by being fed
to stock. These coarse folders which
could not otherwise be disguised OF.
for there is no market for them worth
considering. attain profitable value
by being used in stock feeding"
Prof. Craig's remarks must not he
construed to mean that every farmer
must necessarily fatten cattle for mar
ket. However. some phase of the
live stock business should be incor-
porated into the conduct of every
farm. 1t may mean dairying, feeding
for market. or the mere growing out
of stock to use roughage and convert
it into manure. The last mentioned
business will be the least profitable,
but it is vastly better to do even this
rather than to sell the fertility of the
farm by the grain route from year
to year.

How to Clean Rugs.

George Leland Hunter gives the
following instructions of interest to
all good housekeepers in an article
entitled THE Truth About Doctor
ed Rugs in Country Life in Amer
ica." for July:
The care of a fine rug is every
thing. Just as thoroughbred racers
haye luxury and affection lavished up
on them, so thoroughbred rugs should
be treated gently and tenderly. The
broom should be used daily on them,
and they should be swept with the
nap. Every third day, after the
sweeping, sawdust that has been
slightly moistened should be sprinkled
over the rug. which should then be
gone over with carpet sweeper. Be
careful to have the sweeping precede
the application of sawdust, as other
wise the moisture will turn some of
the dust into mud that, caking itself
in the threads, will ravel the fibres
Once a week rugs should be taken
out on the lawn, spread out face down
and then gently tapped-gently, mind
with fiat rattan beaten.
Fine rugs, like razors-and people,
too-require rest. BY no means leave
rugs in use during the summer
When the warm weather approaches
have them taken up, carefully clean
ed, and sent to cold storage. The
process of cleaning as practiced by
experts is as follows: First of all,
the dust is removed by the vacuum
system; then the rug is spread on it's
face, liquid olive oil soap is poured
over the back. and it is gently rubbed
with brush until fine lather FORMS
Then the same thing is done to the
face of the rug. After that, warm
water is played over the rug until it
revives. After the hot shower, of
course, cold shower follows. and
for about an hour, on a concrete floor
that slants slightly, cold water runs
over the surface Of the rug from
sprinklers. Then, in order to take
the water out, the rug is rolled with
the nap. light wooden roller being
the tool employed. After which the
rug Is spread out on the roof, face up,
for three clear days and nights. When
the Sunlight has removed the last
vestige Of moisture, the rug is rolled
up with the nap and is ready for stor-
age.

C. r. X. CROP REPORT.
Optimistic Estimates From Free Press
Correspondents.

Winnipeg Free Press: The Can
adam Pacific agents in their reports
of the conditions of the wheat crop
fully confirm the optimistic accounts
sent in by Free Press correspondents
and published yesterday. The season,
so far, has been marked by copious
rains, and in certain districts fields
have been injured by being flooded.
There are also reports of damage done
by hail In several localities. These
losses, though severe to the farmers
directly concerned. will have no bear
ing on the crop as a whole, the amount
Of territory affected being SO small as
to be insignificant in the total.
On the other hand, the reports from
the great majority of points is so san
guine as to encourage the belief that
the yield of 1906 will be a very heavy
one.
Along the main line between Winni-
peg and Swift Current, too much rain
Is reported at Reaburn, slight hail at
Popular Point, damage from rain at
kirkella, and at Fleming, and daily
rain showers are reported at Indian
Head and Qu'Appele. The general
