HOW WE LOSE TRADE.

The American meat packers are
having troubles. which naturally
enough react upon the cattle growers
and shcepmen Of the west. While the
herds and rocks have been rushed to
the packing houses FOR variety Of
causes. chief OF which is lack Of feed
upon the range. the market abroad is
being constantly restricted.
Even Ga the Canary islands. a mar
ilct which should be as accessible to
the United States as to other nations,
American competition has been OK
cluded for several reasons. the most
important cf which have been CD ex-
cessive freight charges and long tran
SIT period when goods were shipped via
England or continental ports. CD lack
OF proper local connections on the
part Of the American exporters. and
CD tho active campaign against all
American meat products by foreign
competitors.
This IS a fair sample OF conditions
prevailing all over the world. Having
no merchant marine. this country is at
the mercy Of foreign carriers. and our
goods are showed aside whenever and
wherever possible.

the cultivation OF the vine and fruits.

A. proof or the fact that the Mex

the people OF the most backward ORR

that the most primitive method OF
farming is carried on an over the
republic. The blowing IS done with
a crooked stick. the point being cow

scratches the ground.
The corn is planted by hand. a
man following the pillow. dropping the
seed and covering it with his foot. 10
is cultivated with the same pillow
which gives very poor results in de-
rtrcyinE the weeds. The fodder is
gathered by pulling the leaves or
blades from the stock. which are
made into bundles and carried from
the fields by pack mules.
The rice is planted. after the ma
tive pillow has scratched over the
land. By being thrown broadcast. and
covered By hauling a bunch OF brush
over the land. When the rice is
about a foot or eighteen inches high &c
is cut down with grass hooks; no,
even a scythe Is used FOR this work.
This cutting back is said Co make the
rice grow more bunchy and enables
the rice plant 90 get the best Of the

properly piowed before planting there
would be no weeds and this cutting
back would not be necessary.

The lack OF competition. as above
stated. is due to the lack Of American
vessels plying between our Atlantic
ports and the Canary islands. Presi-

merchant marine. The folly Of such
criticism ia becoming more and more

Carpets and Ruao.

Carpets and rugs were originally en-
ployed by oriental nations for sitting,
reclining and kneeling purposes during
devotion When introduced among
the western peoples they were for a
long time used for purely ornamental
purposes, covers for tables or couches
and for laying before affairs or chairs
of state upon great occasions. Carpets
were brought to Europe by the Moors,
but It was well into the eighteenth
century before they came into any
thing like general use.
