Meat Packing at Honakona.

Consul General George E. Anderson,
 Hongkong, British China, writes: For
 some time the chief meSt and produce
 concern in this part Of the Far east
 (the Hongkong- Dairy Farm Co.
 [Ltd.D has been experimenting with
 the packing of meats of different sorts
 for use in outports and aboard ship, including the timing of beef and va rious meat products. It is now an- nounced that the business has passed
 the experimental stage and that the
 concern is arranging to can meats upon a large scale. Already the com pany has secured practically entire control of the trade in has, bacon
 and similar goods along China coast, and it's goods have oeen suc- | cessfully shipped to other parts of the world, including Great Br/ain. Such | an undertaking as the one now being | developed is likely to have an inn 1 portant bearing upon the sale of timed Amsrican meats in this field. The higfI exchange value of kilver has enabled American packers. so far os | ehy are allowed to export at all, to remain in this field in spite of the | high cost of their goods in the United States and of the excessive freights on all such products coming into the market here. Nevertheless, with even | this handicap the local concern has been able to supplant practically all foreign salted and smoked meats in this part of Asia with the exception of small shipments from Australia and
 the United States. With the return of
 exchange to a normal level the com paratively low price of meats in this
 field and the comparatively low cost
 of labor will doubtless make it prac- tically impossible for American pack
 CTS to compete with local interests
 save only in fine and special products The business in Horgkong depends
 largely upon the supply of all such
 goods to ships as well as to the out ports along the China coast. The
 shipping trade is particularly i'm.
 portant, and it is this trade that 6
 special effort will be made to serve.

Was Browning Gun.

That machine gun which was dis played on the Marlin Rockwell float in the Fourth of July parade gave the Norwich public sight of the Brown ing machine gun that the company makes although it was reported in the account, of the parade that it was a Lewis gun.
 Somebody on the float gave out the information that 1t was a Lewis gun and the statement was of course taken at it's face value, but the Mar iin4Rockwell company had a machine gun of it's own make to put on its float instead of using one of another make.

oREGoNS SCORE IN
 EGG LAYING CONTEST.
Win Honors in 35th Week With Yield
 of 63 Eggs.

In the 35th week of the Storrs egg laying contest, the Oregons from the Agricultural college at Corvallis, Ore, won the honors for the week with a remarkable yield of 63 eggs. Tom Bar on's White Leghorns from Catforth, England, were second with 5S eggs, and E. A. Ballard's pen of Leghorns from Chestnut Hill, Pa, were third with 56 eggs. Fourth place was cap tured by J. o. LeFevre's pen of Leg horns from New PaItz, N. Y. Not only did the Oregons take the high honors for the weekly produc- tion, but they have also jumped into i first place, thus taking the lead from Knights pen of Wyandottes, which they have held for 23 weeks. Their lead, however, is only one egg, which cannot be considered very serious at the present time, as there are still IT ! more weeks to go. The total produc- tion for the week was 3,S64 eggs, which is 1O3 less than for the previous week and 59 less than for the corresponding week last year.
 Perhaps it is obvious that from now | on a gradual falling off in production may be expected. This perhaps simply means that the poor producers Tn the | f1ocks anticipate having a new coat of l feathers. In order to keep the egg production up to it's maximum yield ! one should dispose of all the birds l that are loafng on the job. These loaf CTS can be told somewhat by the ex- | ternal characteristics such as molting 1 color of beak, legs and vent l Egg production may also be retarded i by the hens being bothered with mites, i for the mite season is now at it's height. The experienced poultryman i can easily detect these pests if pres ent in large numbers. He will be aware of the fact by a very peculiar odor. The best plan of procedure at this season of the year is to carefully 1 inspect all cracks in the roosts and 1 also their supports, and when any 1 mites at all are found get after them with crude carbolic and kerosene or perhaps, better still, with carbolineum.
 The three best pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows:
