Cool Roads For Cuba.

Second only in Importance, in Cuba,
to the perfection of form Of civil
government by the United States
which shall serve as guide and in
SEPARATION for complete self-government
by the Cubans, we estimate the crea-
ton and maintenance Of good roads.
Cuba has never had really good roads,
in the American Interpretation Of the
term, while roads that were fairly
good have been limited in number and
have recently been practically impassa-
bile, save at great inconvenience, be-
cause OF neglect and lack of use in
cidental to the protracted rebellion
against Spain. Capital stands ready
to enter literally upon the labor of
agriculture, but al essential of ade-
Iuate returns is the creation Of new
and the improvement of old roads
leading to the chief markets in each
province. This work, we note with
satisfaction, is now being undertaken
by order of the War Department, ope-
rating through the various military
governors. It's completion will mark
prompt upward bound of the agri
cultural production Of the island

A JapaDesc Geisha Girl.

A geisha must be highly accom-
plished, because her chief duty is to
amuse. While not by any means a
musician, she must be able to perform
on the samisen, koto, tzuzumi Ga drum)
and other musical instruments. She
dances, sings, and talks on the highest
subjects, and always holds herself in
readiness to entertain her guests &C
cordirg to their mood A witty geisha,
one who is a good talker, pretty and
graceful, will not lack for employment
at any time, and generally makes a
very good living. While it is not at all
necessary for her to arouse mirth, her
object must be to beguile the time that
IL irksome to her guests. Thus 1t often
happens that one feeling depressed will
send for q geisha girl. The geisha is
a natural actress and her taste in dress
is exquisite, her movements incompar-
able in grace.-Onoto Watanna, in the

SOURCES OF COSTLY FURs.
Alaskan Islands That Produce Skins
Worth as Much as $500 Each.

Worth Much $500 Each.
c. B. Isham, United States Com
missioner of .Unga Island, Alaska, while
at Tacoma on his way to Washington,
recently said of the district he admin
listers:
"Unga Island is the great centre Of
the sea otter and fox skin industries,
and virtually all the Inhabitants are
engaged in hunting one Or both Of
these. The catch is important though
the number of animals is not large.
For instance, this year the eleven
islands of the Shumagin group, in
Guiding Unga, produced from the sur
rounding waters thirty-four sea offers.
The value of these skins is 500 each.
Besides this the islands are produing
blue and black fox skins in large num-
bers. One island alone had produced
up to the time l left ninety skins worth
$40 each, or 5000.
"Other islands are also producing
steadily. The black foxes were plant
ed originally in Unga, Sanak, Belofsky
and other islands by the Russian
American Fur Company to augment
the scant supply left after the compa-
ny's men had been long trapping on
the islands. After the United States
had had the country for some years
our government leased the eleven
islands to different traders and Aleut
chiefs for the purpose of raising blue
foxes. The islands were we'll stocked
with the blue variety and these have
crossed with the black in many cases
and an unusually fine fur resulted.
''This year the natives of Beiofsky
Island caught seventeen sea offers
enough to carry the whole village O.
$50 people through the winter in gooi
shape. The Indians go forth on thu
sea in their bidarkas, and shoot otter
with their shotguns, as rule. Ii
some cases they use nets, but shoot
ing them IS the usual way. These
otter skins are the best found in an,
market in the world.
'I am going to Washington now t.

board houses on the islands for tn
use of Indians in drying salmon, an
I also desire to get medical dispen
sary and doctor for the Indians
Diseases of different kinds have bro

the Aleuts need, beside this, onl

There are plenty Of Goldfish, eggs

What Farmers Should DO.

It is the farmers business to exhaust
fertility; unless he does this by grow
ing crops that briag in profit he isn't
a good farmer. We may go to work
and build up our lands, and then by
neglect apd without cropping run them
down again. When we get available
fertility the thing we want to do is to
get it in the shape of O money crop
just as quickly as possible. The far
mer must take fertility as the raw ma
terial that nature furnishes, and turn
this into as many kinds of products as
are likely to bring i'll q profit. The
man that has energy and skill in do
ing this is bound to accumulate wealth,
and the fact that it is the farm that
makes him rich makes the farm more
valuable than it was before When we
add value to the farm we can take value
from It, and 1t will be none the worse
therefor. The farmers prosperity
and the value of the farm usually 60
hand in hand when good farmer
Is guiding and directing all things.

FiIial Love.

That's pathetic story of the Gour-
don ishing-boat crew. No class Of
men face death more frequently than
the hardy fisher-toilers Of the sea, and
among none is genuine heroism
more frequently displayed. The Gour-
don boat was manned by father and
his four sons. When the boat sank.
three of the latter went with her. The
old man got an car, and soon the
fourth son appeared by his side. But
the oar could only support one, and
the lad, taking in the situation at
once, babe his parent farewell in the
| words: "Weel, weel, father. I maun
jist AVA" and sank. Only readers
familiar with the Northern dialect
will fully appreciate the depth OF
! kindly resignation and true feeling
which the words donate. The father
endured terrible sufferings, but was
ultimately picked mp. "Greater love

Cooking Food For Farm Stock.

Cooking Food For Farm Stock.
Every farmer should have utensils
to enable him to heat water and cook
food for stock. Not that it will pay
to cook all kinds Of food, or even any
one kind at all times, but during the
fall, winter and spring months the
cooking apparatus may be frequently
utilized with excellent results. Among
human beings cooking foods of great
benefit as protection from disease
germs contained in the food, and it is
only fair to presume that cooking food
for stock has tendency in the same
direction. The cost of fuel used in
the winter time is more than made up
by the artificial heat conveyed to the
bodies of the animals, If they be given
the food warm. The heat for their
bodies must be provided either in
that way or by the using Of costly
fats in the animal tissues. Warm
feed and warm drink during the cold
est par of the winter greatly increase
| the comfort of the animals, and this
/ comfort is of comm ercial value, for it
| means thriftiness in the stock, with
out which there can be no successful
! feeding. But the greatest advantage
in cooking food for stock comes in the
added ability to use for food products
Of the farm that are not generally
eaten by stock with any relish. Some
farmers boil all their small potatoes,
mixing them with corn meal or ground
oats in barrels. Sugar beets are
boiled Tor dairy COWS and the bitter
principle precipitated in the water in
which they are boiled. All danger Of
iniuring the flavor of the milk is Their
passed.
Cooking food for stock has beer
generally considered only from the
standpoint of increased digestibilitJ
of food, and opinions have been ex
pressed that the increased digestibil
ity does not pay for the cooking
Probably that is true, but the othe1
advantages mentioned certainly just
ify the assertion that cooking a par
of the food for stock and heating til
drinking water do pay during larg
part of the year.-Farm, Field an,

Store Sheep Low.


The small yield of turnips is given

sheep in Scotland this season. Many
are reducing their focks by fattening
or selling as feeders to others who are
more fortunate in having food supply.
High priced pedigree rams are lower,
though the decline in them is not as
great as in the poorer sheep. Black
faced eve lambs also hold up we'll in
value, as they are being put in the
place of fiocks of wethers by some,
and in the place of deer by others.
The wether sheep are not as profit
able, as they have been when wool
sold better, and American lambs are
becoming in better demand for meat
than the heavy three-year-old mutton
that the English people once thought
was the only thing fit for table use in
