Reduction in Food Exports.

Exports of foodstuffs from the United
States will amount to but $40 million
dollars in value in the fiscal year 1910
against more than $50 million dollars
in 1906, practically 500 million in 1900
and over $50 million in 1898, the high
record year for the expectation of food.

In this term "foodstuffs" are in
cluded wheat, corn and other bread.
stuffs, meat and dairy products, live
cattle, fruits, rice and vegetables. In
all these articles while prices are
higher than in earlier years, the quan-
tity and in most cases the value Of the
exports are less in 1910 than in certain
earlier years, and in many cases less
than half that of like period in for
mer years.
This estimate of the exports of the
fiscal year 1910 is based upon the fig
ures of the bureau of statistics of the
department of commerce and labor for
the nine months ending with March.
1t shows the number of the cattle ex-
ported in that period as about 1877, 900,
indicating that the number exported in
the full fiscal year will be about 49,
600, against $4,000 in the fiscal year
1914, while the value of the cattle ex-
ports in 1910 will be but approximately
16 million dollars, against 42b million
in 1904. The average export value per
head of the cattle exported thus far in
1910 is 80, against an average of 500
per head in 1895, and SIS per head in
1903.
The quantity of fresh beef exported
in 1910 will probably amount to about
Is million pounds, against $50 million
in 1901, the high record year, and the
value but about million dollars,
against over 30 million in 1901. The
bacon exports of 1910 will, judging
from the figures thus far received, ag.
gregate less than $50 million pounds,
valued at approximately 90 million dol
lars, against $50 million pounds, valued
at 46 million dollars in 1898, and of
lard about 400 million pounds, valued at
approximately As million dollars,

The Oklahoma State Board of Agri.

All cattle shipped in from Texas must

the disease. The new dip is an arsen-
zeal solution, much cheaper than the
crude oil, just as effective and less In
furious. 1t is made by boiling 10
pounds of commercial arsenic, "a
pounds of sal soda and 1 gallon of
pine tar in 40 gallons of water. 1t is
then increased to so gallons by adding
water, and this solution is enough for
45O gallons of water when mixed with

The only danger from the use of this
dip Is that steer might accidentally

Reducing the Meat Bill.

In many American families meat is
eaten two or three times a day; in
such cases the simplest way of reduc.
ing the meat bill would very likely be
to cut down the amount used, either
by serving it less often or by using
less at time. Deficiency of protein
need not be feared when one good
meat dish day is served, especially
if such heterogeneous materials as eggs,
milk, cheese and beans are used in
stead. In localities where fish can be
obtained fresh and cheap, it might
we'll be more frequently substituted
for meat for the sake of variety as
we'll as economy Ingenious cooks
have ways of extending the flavor"
of meat; that is, of combining a small
quantity with other materials to make
a large dish, as in meat pies, stews,
and similar dishes.

against 742 million pounds in 1906, val.
ued at so million dollars.
The average value per pound of
Dacon exported in the fiscal. year 1910
Ior winch figures are available, is
about IL cents per pound, against an
annual average per pound of. IA cents
IN 1897, and of lard in 1910, 10 cents
per pound, against 81 cent per pound
in 1897.
The quantity of wheat exported in
the fiscal year 1910 will aggregate but
ABOUT 90 million bushels, against 1877
million in 1892, the high record year.
Inc average export value for 1910 is
ABOUT $l.O3 per bushel, against 20 cents
In 1902, and So cents in 1895. The
corn exports for the fiscal year 1910
VIII, judging from the figures thus far
received, aggregate about SO million
bushels, against 200 million Bushels in
1900, the export price in. 1910 being
about 70 cents per, bushel, against an
average of Al cents in 1900 and 81
cents in 1897.
Thus the number of cattle exported
in the fiscal year 1910 will be but
about one-third of the number exported
in 1904, the quantity of fnesh beef hut
about one-fourth that of 1901, and one
third that of 1893, the quantity of lard
about one-half that of 1906, the GUAM
tlty of wheat about one-third that of
1902, and the quantity of corn less
than one-ffth that of 1900.
The total value of all live animals
exported in 1910 will aggregate approx,
imately 20 million dollars, against SO
million in 1901; the valua ~ broad.
stuffs in 1910 about lac million dollars.
against S34 million in 1898; the value
of meat and dairy products about 14O
million dollars against 211 million in
1906, ~
In the meantime the value of manu-.
features exported has increased and
will be, in 1870, approximately $50
million dollars, again 453 million in
1902, 25s million in 1896, and 179 mill.
ion in $780, thus bringing the value of
all exports for 1910 to within about $50
