BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1902-10-24

State Department officers are uneasy
over the advices received from Cuba in
the last few weeks. All It ports from
American representatives there go to
indicate that the government of the island
is rapidly drifting from us and that the
feeling OF gratitude toward the United
States is dying away. The diplomatic
representatives of European govern
ments have been systematically at work
trying to convince the .Cubans thai
they need no special tariff arrangement
with the United States. and that even
a reciprocity treaty would not be to
their advantage because it would shu;
them out from beneficial trade arran
geinen:s with the governments of Euro
pc. Some of them have gone 50 faI
as to intimate to the Cubans that theil
government will demand the same az
rangements and commercial concessions
from Cuba that are possessed by the
most favored nations.
This work has not becn done openly
but in diplomatic way by stealth, Il

SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

The Woman's Relief Corps is we'll
known throughout this city and the
country in general as one of the fore
most charitable organizations of the
day There was time when their
charity was confined to the needy
families of the c. A. r. but of recent
years, the meaning of the term has
been broadened and now any needy
persons, who are worthy may receive
the assistance of the order.
The local order of w. r. O., has
been called upon many times within
the past few months to render assist
ance to poor people in the city, which
they have cheerfully given. Now
that the winter is coming on they
find the treasury fund is almost en-
tirley exhausted, and are obliged to do
something to replenish it at once.
Therefore they have decided to give
"A grand ball on the night of October
23rd and ask each and every citizen
to ssist them in their efforts.
The ladies seldom ask the public to
contribute to their funds, but they
are obliged to do something and that
right way. Every one should buy
a ticket and contribute to the assist
ance of worthy poor at home.

DIRECTORS ELECTED.

AT II meeting of the directors of the
Western Slope Copper Mining COM
pany the following directors were
elected W. G. McCurdy, Tres. Frank
E. Blaisdel vice pres, and manager
at the mines and H. H. Marden of

President, Marden, Treasurer Nc
Curdy, Vice President Blaisdell and
DR.. Irwin visited the mines on the
18th. Pres. Marden was much
pleased with the improvement made
since his last visit last January. The
immense amount of ore in the Nancy
Hanks shows more promise than ever
before. The company will incrase the
force on the different properties to 20
men in a short time and Mr.. Blaisdell
will take full charge at the mines.
With Jack Martin as superintendent
the company will push matters from
now on so that by the time the smell
ter at Grand Junction is in operation
the company will have thousands of
tons of ore to be smelted. The Mol

THE FARMERS GARDEN.
When Well Kept and Carefully At
tended 1t Is Always Sure to
Bring Good Returns.

Tie question is what are the best
things to raise in a garden and how
shall we go to work to raise them? A
man bought farm that was overrun
with gooseberries. He tried to destroy
them, but failed. He was discouraged
and in debt, but in going TO the city on
business one day hefound gooseberries
selling on the market at a good price.
He went back home and began Guilt
waiting his gooseberries and placing
them on sale. In time, and not a very
long time, either, he had his farm paid
for and plenty of means to increase his
business. GOoseberries are a good
crop to grow, and even for ones use
only, it pays to plant them. They grow
rapidly and can be propagated from
cuttings. A good way to set them is
to cut OFF from five to six inch pieces,
and before the buds start in the spring
set them in the ground leaving one or
two buds above the surface. Press the
earth around them and nature will do
the rest. These plants will make good
bushes the second year and by the
third will be bearing well. Gocseber-
ries almost always bring a good price,
and can be easily grown in any climate.
With fresh curly lettuce the average
farmer girl can earn her summer rib
bons and have little left for confec-
tionery if she would set her heart
to the work. Radishes are another
easy crop and they never fail of mar
ket. Peas, too, are very salable, and
the girl or woman who will plant
large quantity of nice table peas can
very easily find market for them. In
sowing peas for the market it is neces-
sary to select standard varities, the
kinds which grow and give the best sat
isfaction. For the early market there
is nothing better than the Extra Early
or the Honey Dew. Last year [ had
some of the Everbearing peas. These
are a most valuable sort for medium
and late crop. They continue to bear
until frost with but little attention.
The pods are good size the peas rich
and meaty, and the customer who buys
of you once will buy again. A. care
fully attended vegetable garden will
always bring good returns to any
farmers wife or daughter if she has
the necessary pluck and energy

SAVE YOUR OWN SEEDS.
This Advice Applies Not Only to Anna
tours and Farmers But Also to
Market Gardeners

Why not save your seeds? Tt is
wiser, better, cheaper, and adds ma
terially to the pleasure of garden
ing. You desire the best. To secure
that, select the best Of that which
suits you the best. There is a great
diversity of taste; some prefer one
form of color, another quite a differ
ent one. This is an individual mat
ter, and in no way affects the prin-
ciple. We all have our preferences
as to species. We all want the best
defined of given type. To secure
this result, selection is necessary, and
selection means choice. 1t means the
most vigorous plant that produces
the flower or vegetable best suited
to your taste. Save the seeds from
such for future use. Great care is
required to make the selection valu-
able. After a choice of plants is
made, the first flower should not be
allowed to seed, as they are never so
perfect as those that come later. If
the second flowers are all that can
be desired, if they are improvements
over those Of previous years, careful
ly remove all the undeveIoped buds
on the plant, so as to give the blooms
the full strength Of the plant for the
ripening of their seed This is the
way all new varieties are produced,
and the way that others may be. If
q flower shows the slightest change
in color or marking, it is a sure indi-
cation of new variety. From this
plant save the most marked, even
though the flowers in other respects
may not be desirab BILE. Save the flow
er for seed that shows the greatest
change, and do not trust another
to bloom until that seed is ripened.
Follow this up for a few years and
a variety may be produced of more
monpy value than the cost of the
whole garden during those years.

His courage, his patience, his supreme

He was the dog-star of the long night of the

come servant of the people whom he loved
and whose government he established.
Alter brief administration, he declined to
serve longer as their chief magistrate, retir-
ing to the life of simple citizen of the re-
public.
The glory of his name lies in rounded
life. Without being LUMINOSITY conspic-
uous in single gifts as Alexander or Napoleon,
the sum of his talents eclpses the glory of
the others. The luster of his fame does not
dim with the years, but its brightness in
creases with the added, developing results
of the work done by him. The name of
liberty will have disappeared when the
glory of the fame of Washington shall have
been obliterated. Being dead, he continues
to speak in every added evidence of the
greatness of the country of his founding.

Intensive Peach Culture

Peach culture is a speciality with Mr.
r. Morrill,, of Michigan. He applies an
nually to his trees 100 pounds of.wood-
ashes an acre and 400 pounds of bone
meal. He plows the ground about two
and one-half inches deep just after the
booming season. and then cultivates
continually, going over his whole or
chard Of 100 acres every week. He does
not try to cultivate close to the trees,
but thinks that by cu,tivating the mid
die of the rows each way he gets the re-
suit aimed at; namely, the retention
of the moisture. This is what he calls
"horse-leg irrigation" = Farm and

Words of Patriotism

"a q UST now, when the birthday of the
Ma q illustrious Washington is about to
- be celebrated everywhere, the fol-
lowing words from his farewell address,
made public over a century ago, will be ap.
propriate:
''Be united. Be Americans. The name
which belongs to you, in your national ca
pacity, must exalt the just pride of patri'
otism more than any appellation derived
from local determinations. Let there be
no sectionalism, no north, south, east or
west; you are all dependent one on another,
and should be one in union. Beware of at.
tacks, open or covert, on the constitution.
Beware of the baneful effects of party spirit
and of the ruin to which it's extremes must
lead. Do not encourage party spirit, but
use every effort to mitigate and assuage it..
Keep the departments of government sep
arate, promote education, cherish the pub
lie credit, avoid debt. Observe justice and
good faith toward all nations; have neither
passionate hatreds nor passionate attach
ments to any; and be independent political.
ly of all. In one word, be nation, be
Americans, and be true to yourselves"

galaxy of human greatness. Yet it was as
soldier that his great qualities show most
resplendent, since it was here that he was
most sorely tried and had most obstacles to
overcome.
Against him were opposed soldiers and
generals who had covered themselves with
honors in battles with picked armies of the
continent of Europe. Then as now the fore
most nation of Europe Great Britain, had
unlimited money and men at her command.
To meet these Washington had undisci-
plined farmers, who were ill-fed, ill-paid
and whose families sorely needed them at
home.
Besides there were cabals formed by rival
commanders who sought his place, the in
action and but too frequently the incom-
petence of congress, the treason of Arnold,
the opposition of tories, and a general dis
content, the result of long war.
In the midst of these trials Washington
moved with serene front. In that dread
winter at Valley Forge, when nearly one
half of his army was barefoot and had to
sleep under ground, he preserved his cour-
age. No general who has lived overcame
so many obstacles as Washington.
Count D'Estang said there was not an
other man in the world who could have held
together tndC army at Vdlley Orge, ragged,
as it was, and hungry and houseless and
unpaid.
At no time in the seven years did Wash
ington doubt Of final victory. With sublime
faith in the justice of the cause, he waited
and trusted and planned. He would ac-
cept no defeat. Compelled again and again
to decline battle because of the paucity of
his numbers and the limited supply of am
munition, he persisted in his purpose until
he wore out the enemy. More than once, by
the sheer force of his genius, he snatched
victory from defeat.
