exports of agricultural implements,

Fertilizers, of which the exports
will be about s12,000,OO0 during the
year, are chiefly sent to European
countries, where long-continued use
of the soils has largely depleted their
natural fertility and rendered art1-
fetal fertilizers a necessity. For
American phosphate rock and other
fertilizers of that class Germany is
the largest market, followed next by
Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
Another class of materials, used as
cattle food, whose exports are con-
siderable includes oil cake and oil

linseed. OF these the exports amount
to about $15,O0O.0OO per annum, being

Coon CUSTOMERS
Buy One Hundred Millions OF Ameri-
can Products For Use On
Their Farms.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 29.-The
tries buy nearly $100,000,000 worth of
American manufactures and other
products for use in cultivating the
soil, while about $50,0O0,O00 worth of
foreign products are annually import
ed into the United States for use upon
American farms, The foregoing
summarizes certain information re-
Gently compiled by the Bureau of Sta
! tistics, Department of Commerce and
| Labor, in response to an inquiry upon
that subject received from represen-
tative newspaper located in the great
farming area of the Middle West, and
refers more especially to those class
es of merchandise having their chief,
| if not exclusive use in the farming
industry and does not include articles
in general use, such as clothing, fur
niture and miscellaneous manufac-
lures.
Of the exports from the United
| States of articles required in farming,
by far the larger portion are composed
of manufactures, such as agricultural
wire, and oil cake; while phosphate
rock, to be ground up and used as fer
tilizer, and clover, timothy and other
grass seeds are among the articles
exported in the natural state. In adj
dition to the exports above enumerat-
ed as specifically for farm use, there
are certain articles for which the ag-
riculturalists of other countries draw
upon he United States but which
cannot be classed as distinctively for
farm purposes, such as wagons, car
riages, traction engines, fiber bags,
pumps, etc. In such cases the Bureau
of Statistics has no means of deter
mining the proportion of the exports
intended for farm use and they are
not, therefore, included in the 100
million dollars worth Of merchandise
exported for agricultural purposes.
Taking up the principal exports of
the class under discussion, agricul-
tural implements head the list, with
a probable total of $40,000,000 in the
year about to end, comprised of nearly
$20,000,000 worth of mowers and reap
ers, $S,00OO 900 worth of plows and cul-
tivators, $2,500,0O0 worth of thresh-
ers, and the remainder miscellaneous
farming tools and implements. These

Intefchangeable Mileaee Books

The 2-cent interchangeable mileage books issued by the Southern, the Sea board and Atlantic Coast Line are again the subject of controversy. Commercial travellers use these books, and they do not see why they should be compelled to hand them in at ticket office windows to procure thereon trip tickets. The rail- roads insist that the rule is reasonable in view of the low rate of fare, and there the matter stands in Georgia. The rail- road commission in that state has not been asked to consider the subject of mileage books but the members of it are said to be keenly alive to the agitation of the question, and it is believed they are in sympathy with the movement.
 The commercial travellers are in favor of the issue of mileage books but they think the books should be good on the trains without the preliminary issue of a trip ticket at the station. It is this, and this alone, that they object to. Their case is no very strong one, but they are pushing it as if it were a vital mat ter
 The railroads think that if they offer transportation at reduced rate they should at least be permitted to name the manner in which 1t can be procured. They put a commercial traveller at no greater disadvantage than a purchaser of A cus- tomary ticket, and they think that the commercial travellers are more fussy than wise, more strenuous than common grati- tude would suggest

Mr CrumpaCker'S Apportlonment Bill

Beyond reasonable doubt the new Crum- packer apportionment bill will go through unchanged. It calls for a House of 4a3 members as compared with 391 members in the present House. No one particu- larly desires House of 433 members except those states that would lose a member if House of fewer members should be decided upon. The number of the House in the next ten years is determined in other words by the states that Have grown slowly and by Iowa which alone shows an actual decrease in population In House of 433 mem- bers even Iowa will retain without i'm pairment Der present membership.
 To Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Geor- gia. Idaho Louisiana. Michigan, Min nesota, Montana. North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon.

In the Heart of London

A batle was recently fought in the very heart of London. Two thousand armed men fought two men barricaded in house, and the 2000 never did take that house It caught fire at last and the stwo hunted men died in the flames. Bat talions of police and the fire department, a section of artillery, and last of all, the Horse Guards were held at bay by two defiant men!
 It was reported that they were wild anarchists, when in fact they were no more than ordinary desperate criminals The arrest and suppression of two crim- inals does not in this country call for the calling out of an army of men in a densely crowded street, but this is what took place in London And, strangest of all, the house was never taken at all, ex- cept by the flames.
 It is impossible to imagine a handling of two outlaws in this country in the way adopted in London. The excitement in the mighty city was intense and the newspapers could not print editions fast enough to supply the demand. Two criminals could not fight battle in city h this country, and it seems to have been well understood in London that there were but two offenders in the beleaguered house. Altogether it is queer story, and the attempt to make it part of great anarchistic plot will prove a failure, for the two men in the house were house. breakers with no political connection whatever. The English authorities seem to have been rattled and they did not regain their boise until the outlaws had been burned to death.
