FINE COFFEE CROP.
Peculiar Way in Which the Natives
 Prepare the Bean.

ITepaF6 the Bean.
 Coffee is exported from Puerto Rico in larger quantities than is any other native product, and while but little oz 1t finds it's way into the American mar ket under the brand Puerto Rican, an immense quantity, according to Gen. Roy Stone, is sold here as genuine Mocha and Java. The average Puerto Rican eountryman, even though his children have neither shoes for their feet, nor clothing for their backs, owns his private coffee patch. from which by occasional piekfngs, he secures enough of the little round berries to keep the family supplied. The exporting, how ever, is done by large groWers--men who have plantations which cover hun- dreds of acres, mostly upon the well drained mountain sides The plants, CT trees" as they are sometimes call' ed, are grown at intervals of from six to eight feet, and after reaching a night of about five feet are trimmed off that no strength may be wasted In surplus foliage. The flowers, which are pure white in color, have rich fra grance. Each berry contains two seeds, or beans, and as these are gathered before fully ripened, they are dried in the sun. It is a common sight to see coffee drying on burlaps, or mats, iD the city streets. The average Puerto Riean has little or no use for a coffee mill. He bakes bis coffee until it Is black, and then grinds it to a powder l in huge mortar. When ready for use 1t closely resembles gunpowder, th( 1 beverage made from it looking very much like ink. Some of the natives eince the close of the Spanish regime have learned to prepare cup of coffee on the American plan, but these belong to very small minority of the popula, tion.-Leslie's Weekly.
