33,04O EGGS IN ONE
YEAR is SOME RECORD

Mrs. r. ]. Logan of Carlton writes
to the Reflector:
We have been in the poultry bust
ness for several years, and after try
ing the mixed flock, also the pure
bred, of the large breed, we decided
to try the pure bred S. G. B. Leg
horns. We find them to be the best
money makers as the profit is in the
eggs, The Leghorn takes SO much
less feed to keep up her bodily vigor.
From our flock of 325 hens we
gathered 1920 eggs during the
year We sold 2,7O6 dozen for
$7435O; for Matching and table use,
131.4O; poultry for table, $4,000;
poultry sold $92.52; total $1,O17.42.
And we expect them to do better
this year as we had the flock tested
and sold all that were not consid
cred good layers.

patent device, which, if it performs
half as well as its inventor claims for

RUSSIAN TRADE IN

Russia amounted to $43s.OOC,OOO in
1917, a decrease OF only $4,000, 0O0.
as compared with 1916. according &c
an announcement recently issued by

This decrease was in the trade with
Asiatic Russia and is attributed to

the other hand, increased in spite
of all obstacles. Imports from Eu-
ropean Russia were larger than fo-
any other was year. amounting -
S12. 100000 over half of the normal
imports Of 1919 (S22, 323.000) and
10 per cent more than the figures
for 1916 CS4.479,000). Exports -
European Russia showed a slight
increase. from $500, 100000 IA 1915
TO 315.0OO,0OO in 1917. The 1917
total represents little more than the
first II months of the year; trade
was practically suspended in De-
cember. the exports amounting 20
only $4,000. as compared with
S23, 100000 in December. 1916. The
exports for The year 1913 were only
S26, 100000. but most of the sudden
and abnormal expansion has been
due 10 shipments OF war supplies:
explosives, firearms, and copper to-
gether accounted for $228.000,000
in 1917.
The articles imported from Eu-
ropean Russia in 1917 show wide
fluctuations from the pre-war list.
Calfskins. which were imported 70

however. American firms succeeded
in obtaining $1.O34,000 worth by
special license. Since other hides
and skins. imports of which in 1919
TO about SS,0O0.000. have
ceased to figure in the trade, the
total decrease in this class of goods
alone was about S14,0OO.0O0. An
