Bureau of the Census Issues Bulletin
Giving Interesting Facts About ,
Soil Foods.

Soil foods seem to be rapidly gain
ing in popularity or absolute require
ment, or perhaps both, among the
agriculturists of the United States.
The total value of imported fertiliz-
ers, including materials largely
though not exclusively used for that
purpose, aggregated forty million
dollars in the calendar year 1910,
and five and half million in 1890,
according to figures compiled by the
bureau of statistics Of the depart
ment of commerce and labor; while
other reports covering the production
of fertilizers indicate also a large
and perhaps equally rapid growth
in domestic output of the materials
used for fertilizing purposes. The
production of phosphate rock, for
example, largely used in the manu-
facture of artificial fertilizers, in
creased, according to reports of the
geological survey, from six and a
half million dollars in 1904 to ten
and three-quarter million dollars in
1909; while the census office reports
the value of fertilizers manufactured
in 1890 at thirty-nine million dol
lars, in 1900 at forty-five million dol
lars, and in 1905 at fifty-seven mil
lion dollars, and if the rate of in
crease just shown with regard to the
production of phosphates, a basic
material in the Manufacture of fer
occurred also in the output
of manufactured fertilizers during
the period since 1906 the total pro-
duction in 1910 was probably seventy
million dollars. Meantime the Unit
ed States exported last year fertil-
izers to the value of ten million dol
lars, making the approximate con-
sumption of soil foods by the farmers
of the country about one hundred
million dollars per annum, emitting
consideration in this connection of
cotton seed meal, used in part as
fertilizer material, but largely as a
food for live stock.
The increase in importation of the
more important classes of articles
used as fertilizers is indicated by the
following figures: Imports of soda
and nitrate or Chile saltpetre have
increased from three million dollars
in 1890 to five million dollars in 1900

of the fertilizer class, chiefly the
muriate and sulphate, have increased
from one million dollars in 1890 to
two million dollars in 1900. and six
and tWo-thirds million in 1910;
while imports of phosphates, guano,
KANT and other fertilizers have in
creased from over one million dol
lars in 1890 to two million in 1900
and nine and half million in 1910

available potash ranging from two
hundred million to four hundred
million pounds, valued at from three

imported crude phosphates Belgium.

chiefly from the United KINGDOM

In Iowa They Arc Draining Swamps
and Reclaiming Thousands of
Acres of Valuable Land.

The farmers of Iowa are so rich
that they are spending on a vast
project to drain their swamp lands
three-quarters as much money as the
United States government is paying
to build the Panama canal
They have already used $4,000, 900
in the work, and the total cost of
the improvements when finished is
estimated at 1907, 100000. 1t iG

of acres will be added to the tillable

ing ages have been accommodating
richness washed down upon them
from higher land as we'll as decay
of their own swamp vegetation, acres
which need only to be released from
the embarrassment of too much wa
ter to demonstrate their wonderful
fertility.
The millions-that will thus be add

the reach of accurate computation,
although sanguine advocates declare

age bitches in IA out of the 80 coun-

In the remaining 16 counties some
100000 more Will be expended.
The result is the throwing open to
cultivation of swamp and flood land
which will hereafter be worth from
SIS to 5000 per acre. The estimated
total cost of the public drainage
bitches is $6O,O0O,OOO. These fig
ures are supplied by the State Con-

individual owners will spend $247,-
100000 more out of their own peck

By the Iowa plan large open
drains are first built, then tiled lat

then the small tiled drains under
individual farms-some of the latter
running within four rods of one an
other, and as small as four inches in
dimaeter.

MAKING BEER IN MAINE
NEARLY EVERYONE HAS LEARN
ED THE BREWERS ART.
There Is Variety for All Cases of
Disease, and It's All Home
BreWed, Too.


Since Neal Dow fought the brew
cries of Maine to a standstill half a
century ago, and imagined he had
successfully banished all intoxicating
beverages from the state, every fam
lily which felt as though beer was a
luxury or a necessity has learned the
brewers art and embarked in the
business on it's own account. AS a
result there are more distinct varie-
ties of beer made and drank in Maine
than most persons are aware Of A
leader in the race for largest circu-
lation is the Spring bitters' beer,
which has a basic flavoring of spruce
boughs. Chickerberry, sarsaparilla
root and poplar bark are added, part
ly to take off the curse " but chiefly
from some fancied medicinal quail
ty. the exact nature of which nobody
is able to explain.
For pronounced or hacking
cough, for what is pronounced weak
lungs" for $40 years consumption,
and other LESSONS of the respiratory
organs, or for anything that can be
distorted into a resemblance to an
ailment of the lungs, the beer is mod
fled by emitting the flavor of win
tergreen and substituting lungwort,
cherry bark and rosemary leaves. In
this way the suspicion of intemper-
ance is sidetracked.
Chronic cases of heart disease OF
long standing are very slow in yield
ing to the Maine beer treatment.
When the sufferer has been pro-
nounced incurable it happens often
that even genuine corn beer, which
holds 20 per cent of alcohol, cannot

dition of little gin" or a dash

Of faith.
There is a Maine beer holding a
wisp of dry smartweed which will
prevent the hair from falling out or
turning gray. Another beer, rich in
thoroughwort, can soften an indurat-
ed liver in six months, and scrape off
the 'hobnails" if taken continuously
for year.
Then there is a beer, infused with
the root juices of dandelion and rhu-
barb, which is very popular among
women who claim to be much young
ct than they are, because it irons
out the wrinkles at the corners of
tne eyes, and pumps the cheeks
and adds a peach-like bloom of
youth to the features. There is no
regular prescription specifying how
much of this beer may be taken at

Is to be administered, though the

After six hours of debate, in which

change in the resolution, all but fifteen
