BILE small streams, its bitter but pellucid
waters continue to give sedimentary
analysis of 40 parts soda, 40 parts salt

more than 200 feet deep in places; that
it contains two large and several small
tufa islands, the first in magnitude hav-
ing an area Z, 200 acres and the second
1,500 acres; that upon the second island
is the crater of volcano that was in &C.
tive eruption as late as 1858; that upon
the larger island and out 100 feet from
it, in 10 feet depth of water, are boiling
springs of asphalt, and that no living

built up the press, modern institution,

journalism of to-day offers within its own
limits all possible opportunities for adj
vancement, all proper incentives to am
bition, all worthy rewards to those who
deserve them. It embraces in it's ranks

COFFEE CULTURE IN MEXICO.

The culture of coffee in Mexico is be-
coming a more extensive and profitable
industry than is generally known. There
are now many large coffee planta-
tions in the country, and the amount of
capital and labor invested increases
largely with every year. The land can
be purchased for about SO per acre,
and the work required to clear and pre-
pare it for the coffee plant is slight in
most localities. The plants, from six
months to year old, are set in rows
from eight to ten feet apart. and about
six feet apart in the row. Coffee is Of
ten produced two years from the plant
ing of the seed, but profitable bearing
begins only when the plant is four or
five years old. At the end of seven years
the yield will be sufficient to repay the
owner for all previous outlay and labor,
and the land does not require replanting
for many years. Another advantage in
favor of coffee culture is that the raising
OF Iuduf OIHCI VI uloDlOloi IL XIV
can be combined with it by planting be-
tween the rows. The coffee tree, when
left alone, will grow to a height of from
fifteen to twenty feet, but it is usually
nipped about six feet from the ground,
thus giving more vigor to the branches
and stock. The berries while growing
are of grassy green, but when ripe
turn to bright red. Though the plant
is continuously Towering and developing
fruit, the actual harvest season is from
November to April. The berries when
gathered are spread to dry in the sun,
after which they are hulled and stored
away. Coffee, when ready for the
market, is worth from 10 to II cents at
the place where it is raised.
