The ratio has changed with in the last ten years, and now the ex­ ports laigely exceed the Imports, in 1890 the total number exported was. in round numbers, 381,000 dozen, worth $¿¿»,000; in 1890, 3,694,090 dozen, worth $841,900. In 1890 this touui. y import­ ed l&.OOO.OvO dozen, which were vaiued at $2.030,060, anil in 18t>9 only 225,000 dozeu, valued at $21,000. Taking lute account the five years up to aud including 1898, 61 per cent of the exported egg« were sent to Cuba. 20 per cent to Cam.aa, aud 11 per cent to Great Britain, l uring the same perioo 66 per cent of the eggs Imported cams from Canaaa, 3 per cent fro.u China, aud tne remainder from varisso other countries. These staiistlco of the egg trade are of Interest because they show the grea. growth of the poultry industry, and in­ dicate what It may become in the fu­ ture. Some of the developments may­ be fairly attributed to the work of the Government, and the agricultural ex­ periment stations. For many years a considerable number of the stations especially those in Alabama, Califor­ nia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana. Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan. New York, North Carolina, Norlh Dakota. Ok.ahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island South Carolina, Utah, and West Vir­ ginia, have been experimenting upon methods of feeding nnd caring for poul try, the comparative value of different breeds, the possibility of increasing effZ production by proper feeding and selection of laying stock, and similar problems. The Department of Agricul­ ture htus done much to encourage the poultry Industry by collecting and dis tributlng Information and in othei ways. I’cultiy raising is often carried on in ccnjuncacn with general farming, anti may Lt profitably developed along such lines. When It 13 followed as an inde pendent enterprise, its possibilities! arc also great. There is always a market for poultry and eggs for food, w hil ■ the raising of fancy stock for treediop pur­ pose* is frequently worth conslueia tion. Judged by iiTiliable statistics, eggs compare favorably with the more com­ mon animal foods, and it Is shown that the high food value of eggs is appre­ ciated, and that they constitute one of the very Important articles of diet in the American household. In many of the dietary stiijles made in the United States data were recma- ed of tbe cost of different foods anti the relative amount of nutriment material contributed by each In proportion to the total cost. Compared with other foods at the usual prices, eggs at 12 cents per dozen were found to be a chesp ecurce of nutrients; at 16 cents per dozen they were fairly ez;*6*'.«c, aud at 25 cents per dcsea and over they were very expensive.—Washington Star.
