Seaweed, at one time thought val

Of it are collected in carts a: low tide

the coast of Jersey.
After being dried in heaps, 1t is
spread on the land. There its nutri-
tive properties of nitrogen and pot
ash, in which it is very rich, are alb
sorbed into the soil, and produce
wonderful crops. New potatoes from
Jersey, and spring cabbages from
Cornwall, are raised with seaweed
fertilizer. The sea also furnishes
food for the land in other ways.

This great diminutiOn Of the herds has
been the result Of pclagic sealing-thc
killing of seals i'm the open sea. Whole
fleets would sometimes lay off the seal
islands while their crews killed the fc-
male seals which swan out to sea seeking
fO5d.
At sea the sexes cannot be distinguish
ed, and the females predominating the
pclagic catch is made up largely Of this
class, the percentage being from 50 to %
per cent Of females. The death Of a fc-
male seal was not the only evil. She
was out seeking food for her pup which
She had left on shore. 50 that her death
meant also the death Of the young one.

MARKET FOR ALASKAN SEAL
SKINS IN FUTURE.
MARKET DIVERTED TO AMERICAN
CITY FROM LONDON WHERE TT
HAS BEEN FOR A VERY long
TIME.

The United States government through
Secretary of Commerce Redfield has just
made a decision that will make st Louis
the fur center of the world.
That is, to change the sale of all tha
government catch of seal skins. foxes and
other Alaska fUrs. fl iii London to -
Louis.
This is the first time i'll hist ny that
the American seal catch has been mar
keted through American channels, ANA
the action of Secretary William G. Red
field is regarded by the commercial or
CARNATIONS and bureaus of
with great favor: particularly az being
significant of the activity of the Wilson
administration in paying lose attention
to all manufacturing and trade interests.
The United States thus will dispose Of
several thousand raw seal skins conSti-
tuting the 1913 catch. And under the pro
tccting laws favoring the increase of
seals, the sale will increase many fold in
the coming few years.
The next step. will be the removal from
London to ST. Louis Of seal skin tanners
and Overs, establishing in America II
great new manufacturing industry.
Thus will a trade Of great proportions
be fOstered. But more than this if Will
mean the elimination of the present heavy
duty now paid on dressed and lived skins
prepared in Europe; while the skins Will
be dressed and dyed in America Just as
well. if not better, according to The
statement of the best European Divers
themselves.
The cconomy thus effected by This home
industry and by the absence of the former
heavy duty will eventually mean a saving
of several hundred dollars Il garment
to milady in the purchase Of the ari>to-
crat of all furs.
The government furs. by the decision of
Secretary # Commerce Redfcld. will be
sold at public auction AT 1t. Louis.
