TO FATTEN OYSTERS.
Government Experiments at Lynn
haven, Va, Promise Good Results.

Government Experiments at Lynn
haven, Va, Promise Good Results.
From Country Life in America
The oyster-eating public is already famil-
lar with the process of fattening adopted
by some INSCRIPTIONS dealers in oysters.
This consists merely In throwing the oys-
tiers into fresh water. which they absorb
in large quantities and become plump. The
flavor is thereby injured and there is dan
ger Of injecting the oysters with typhoid.
At Lynnhaven. Va. the United States
bureau OF fisheries has been working for
several years on plan to establish an ar
tifcial fattenang bed for oysters. The
oyster live chiefly on diatoms and other
microscopy. marine plants These plants
require for their growth large supply Of
inorganic salts in the water. The neces-
sary plant food is supplied by putting COM
mercial fertilizers Into the water.
The fattening bed must be In shallow
water, 30 as to have a relatively high tenn
perature. A wall 10 maintained around the
fattening ground so as to retain the fertil-
izer and diatoms Even after the diatoms
have multiplied enormously the oysters re-
ceive no benefit from them unless q current
il maintained In the water to carry the
food to the oysters.
Salt water Is pumped in to prevent the
fattening beds from becoming too fresh,
and little lime Is added to the water to
prevent the growth OF a1Gae and other
plants which would give q disagreeable
flavor to the oysters. Too much lime on
the other hand. will destroy the food plants
OF the oyster.
The process seems somewhat complicated,
but 1t has been demonstrated to be feasible
and to yield fine results in the number and
quality of oysters

OUR MANUFACTURES
REPORT OF CHIEF OF BUREAU
SHOWS THEIR INCREASE.

The report Of NAL John M. Carson Of the
bureau Of manufactures shows that the
manufactures of the United States are
rapidly on the increase, having expanded
80 per cent in the past five years. The
foreign trade of the United States Is also
growing, though not so rapidly, and there
Is urgent need for building up foreign
market The chief of the bureau makes
number Of suggestions looking to this end
The report urges American business men
to send. to foreign fields personal repre-
sentatives specially trained for the serv-
ice, to remain permanently in the country
and to establish and maintain agencies
and branches. The agents should speak
the language of the country to which as
signed, have thorough and practical knowl-
edge of the interests they are to represent,
and should be clothed with full authority TO
act for their principals.
Much Of the report dealing with the ex-
port trade Is In connection with cotton
manufactures. In this connection 1t says:
1.-The cotton piece-goods trade OF China
Is large and constantly growing. The
exports of cotton cloth from Great Britain
to China alone for 1905 were greater than
those of the United States to all countries
for that period. The entire value Of ship
ment Of cotton piece-goods from the United
States to South America for the past fiscal
year was s., 246, 567, while the shipments OF
Great Britain for the six months ended
June 80 last were valued at nearly $1S. Co.,
600, and for ten months ended October,
1906, nearly $32. 900. To Argentina alone
Great Britain, in the six months ended with
June, 1906, sold about 100000 worth OF
cotton piece-goods or twice as much as the
United States sold for the entire past fiscal
year to all South America.
1.-The entire trade Of the United States
with South American countries for the
fiscal year was $40, 400, S76 in imports. and
SO, 1850 7S1 In exports, total of $215. soc, O0O
The present commerce OF all South Amer
lea is placed approximately at $o5O,OOO.OOO
in imports, and $3.50 OOO, 600 In exports. Eng
land dominates in the commerce OF South
America, followed by Germany"

The Astounding Charge Which Sent
 James T. Boyd 10 Jail.

James T. Boyd, an old resident of Phoenix and a mining man. was ar rested yesterday morning on the charge of sending obscene matter through the mails. Complaint was made against him by woman living at Mesa. but whose name for the pres ent has been suppressed. The letter was addressed to her 15-year-old sis ter. and it was by accident that it came into the possession of the complainant
 The letter was sent from Phoenix on July II and was taken out of the office at Mesa the same day. The complain ant received it and, thinking it was from her mother, who was in Phoenix, opened it, believing that her sister would not care. The nature of it from the opening sentence was astounding. She told her sister of it, and was told in reply that she had received others of like tenor from Boyd. He had been sending her such letters for couple of months.
 Boyd who is about 5 years of age, had known this girl from babyhood and was accounted a friend of the family. The sister at once set out for Phoenix to see him. By accident she met Dep uty United States Marshal Porterie. of whom she inquired where Boyd might be found. The officer happened to see him sitting in front of the Commercial
