The possibilities of Mexico as a
coffee producer are amazing, all in
vestigators agreeing that the in
dustry, as measured today, although
extensive, has merely marked a
modest beginning, With the field
of production of that staple, al
ready famous for quality, SO near
the markets of America, the future
surely will develop an important
commerce in this direction. In
creased tonnage, must, according
to the rules governing traffic, re-
duoe the cost of transportation

saving will surely cast the balance
in favor of Mexico as against other

FEW THINGS THAT ALL US.

The distress which exists to less
or greater extent all over the land
is not confined to the agricultural
interests, says Field and Farm
The men who have reonntly returE-
ed to Colorado from the east bring
stories of great want and distress
iu the larger cities. If we closely
examine the situation, we find
most real distress among working
men, skilled or unskilled, with no
market for their labor and no ac-
cess to material upon which to ex-
pend on their own account aid
with no homes of their own. Here
is real distress of a kind of which
no farmer knows anything. Among
the farming class real trouble is
confined to those who are iii debt.
The farmer out of debt is as we'll
off as any one. He is getting little
income, but he sells his nwa labor
and lives. THIS is better than
many large manufacturers are do
ing. To be sure, they sell their
labor and live, hut :hoy do so at a
yearly loss whicn, in the end, they
must earn the money to make up.
They are enabled to do it because
their invested capital gives them
the necessary credit, and they are
compelled to do it because to Gloss
their shops with tho expectation Of
resuming with better times would
cost them more than the loss they
are now sustaining. Besides, there
are many among them who are
very humane men. who prefer per-
sonal loss to the sight of the dis
tress to their employees which would
follow the loss of employment. The
money lending classes even think
thy have a hard time because
there Is little profitable use for
their capital, and because they find
it difficult or impossible to collect
principa! or interest upon outstand
ing loans In so far as farmers
are worse off than any other classes
it is due to their larger investments
upon credit in property which can
not be made to pay interest.
The indebted condition of many
farmers is woefully unfortunate,
and we all now see that most of
the Indebtedness should not have
been incurred, and that there was
really never any chance that the
profits of the investments should
take care of the membranes; but
when we were all borro wing money
we were fully warranted by the
general impetus of the times and
we have done the best we knew
how. Nobody was to blame and
is blamed. Casting the
past behind US, therefore, and e1ch
of us dealing with our individual
troubles as best we may, we shall
do best to comfort The future with
hope and courage, That farmers
will again be prosperous No one
can doubt. BY o united and in
telligent efftrt of each one of us to
aid nature by seeking to employ in
a manner more profitable than
hitherto the magnificent resources
at our command we shall finally
succeed IN working out a glorious
salvation.

In a tree in the garden round tho
house where ! was stopping was q
wasp's nest in process OF construction.
The busy insects were going backwards
and forwards carrying their material to
the paperlike Fabric but though I
watched several days, I could not dis
cover where II was collected. 1t hap
pened that the pillars of the veranda
OF the mud-buiit house In which I was
stopping were roughly hewn trunks Of

region to a good size and considerable
height without branches, aud makes a

ticed that numbers of wasps were alight-
ing on the side OF these pillars that
was worn by the weather, and then,
after short stay, moved OFF again,
apparently. carrying away small load
with them.

pillars. l soon had the satisfaction OF
seeing a wasp alight on II. After run
ming about over the surface to find what
he was in search Of, he suddenly stop-
ped. and carefully feeling the spot he
was on. he cut the worn surface with
his nippers, and then proceeded In a
surface of the wood strip, the width
TO which he could extend his nippers
literally. and as he moved backwards
he rolled the strip up under his chin
with the aid OF his forefeet. until he
had as much as ne could conveniently
hold. when he gave a finishing cutoff
and flew away Watching the work OF
construction afterwards, IL was marvel
lous to see how the end Of the little
