Truck Farming In Cuba.

Previous to the advent OF the
Americans, trucking for the northern
markets was unknown in Cuba, and
In fact, the industry, as procticed for
the local markets, was conducted on
a very small and unenterprising scale,
Gays the Cuban Investor and Guide.
AS early as the fall of 1899 the Amer
lean farmer began experimenting in
several separated localities, none Of
which were far from Havana. These
experiments were. unsuccessful finan-
cially but resulted in great deal OF
valuable practical experience. The
soil is so much at a variance from
that in the States that lessons of its
cultivation had to be acquired by even
the most expert farmers. The ground
is hard. and In some places almost
finty when dry, and thick and heavy
when wet. This, added to the heavy
mat of grass and the packed condS
ton OF the soil by reason of its long
disuse, made the original breaking
task of great labor and extreme diff
fculty. Men planned their work cal
culating that the expense would be
about the same as 1t would be for the
same class of work In the States but
before the task was half completed
discovered their error.
Guines. small town about IS miles
by rail from Havana, Is the center of
the trucking industry on the island.
For some years 1t had been widely
known for the excellent potatoes and
onions produced in the surrounding
artifcially irrigated land. A seasons
crop of potatoes would run up to $780,
900 barrels and the onion production
would reach about 10000 barrels.
The land in this vicinity is espe-
cially adapted for the successful rails
ing Of all tender crops, particularly
those Of thirsty nature. A river
rises In the hills to the north of
Guines and runs down the country by
the town, emptying into the Carribe-
an sea. A series Of bitches were made
during slavery days and the water
from this river was distributed
among the farms as far east as San
Nicholas. each farm having fixed
water priyilege

Fertilizer Facts.

A report of the New Jersey expert
ment station says that fertilizers are
fertilizers only when they contain one
or more of the essential constituents
Of plant growth, |. e., nitrogen. potash
and phosphoric acid In such materials
as nitrate of soda, sulphate OF ammo
mia, acid phosphate, ground bone. mu-
rate of potash, etc, and when their
application to the soil will contribute
quite as much or more to the growth
of crops and the constituents already
there. The chief cause of unsatisfac-
tory results from the application of
fertilizers to soils deficient in avail
able plant food is that the person u.s.
ing them does not understand the
character Of the materials he is hand
ling or the characteristics of growth
and specific needs of the plant whose
growth he intends to encourage.
While the value of commercial fer
tilizer is determined almost eulu-
sively by the amount ana form of the
nitrogen. potash and ph5sphoric acid
which 1t contains, It does not follow
that all soils or cropsi will respond
equally to applications of fertilizers
containing those elements because
the needs Of soils anT the require
ments of crops vary. Soils differ in
respect to their need foir specific ele-
ments owing either to their method of
formation or to their man, cement
and cropping A sandy soil is usually
deficient In all the essential elements
OF plant food. while clayey soil
usually contains the minefal elements
In abundance. particularly : sash. On
the other hand. soil veryIr IN veg

IN mineral matter, while b limestone

proportions of phosphoric ibcid.

Growing Potatoes Under Straw.


From Farmers Review: On this
farm we tried the plan of covering
the potato patch with straw. The re.
suit was satisfactory. The tubers
were planted the ordinary depth and
as they came up the straw was put
on. Next time we will merely cover
with earth and then cover that i'm
mediately with straw to depth OF
ten or twelve inches. Deep covering
with straw has proved the best with
us. There is much complaint here
about potatoes rotting. but we are
finding very few rotten ones.--E. @

crease. We would like to know wha,
are the objections to the practice. Il
seems there must be some. or the

not because he was found to be one,
but because he is likely to become
q public charge. He says he did not
knowingly deceive. His parents had
always dressed him as a girl and
treated him as daughter. He was
taught to do housekeeping and later
found work as woman servant in
Saxony. While washing dishes and
scrubbing floors in his native place,
a woman employed in the same
household in Saxony left for Phila-
adelphia. She secured a good place
and "Otille" decided to follow her.
"Otille'' almost passed the rigid
scrutiny of the government officials
without suspicion. 'Otille" wore a
small shawl over his head as he
walked by the officers. But when he
was taken before the board of spe-
cial inquiry the palm of his hands
and the fingers aroused suspicion
that he was man and the medical
staff was asked to set all suspicion
at rest.
The officials cut away the supposed
woman's fine blond hair, which was
worn long and carefully dressed, anu
to further prevent deception, dressed
the intending emigrant in his proper
attire.

WHEN CARS LEAVE THE TRACK

High Joints May be Disastrous to the
Picked Ties.
Those hree-cornered ties of the
picked variety may be lasting for or
binary wear and tear, but the hard
usage they are liable to receive on
the mountain division of the Great
Northern cannot be as well sustained
as by the old standard tie. For in
stance; it is not unusual for some of
the long freight trains to carry along
for miles car which has left the
track and is riding along on the jut-
ting ties. When this happens on the
standard ties and the whole train is
not derailed no harm results, except
a shaking up; but on the three-cor-
nered, thinned down, picked ties the
trouble is liable to be serious. The
new ties have not the powers of re-
sistance offered by the standard, and
a loaded car humping along will just
about chop the ends of the ties off
and ditch the train. Of course, cars
are supposeAl to run on the tracks,
but there are some high joints along
parts of this Great Northern trans
continental road that will switch a
load of iron.

SUGGESTS A WAY OUT.
General Burt Would Sell Philippine
Islands to Japan.

~ S0PCIh'
San Francisco, June 23-General
A. S. Burt, retired, who has recently
arrived from the Philippines, has a
plan for the solution of the Philippine
problem. He believes he has arrived
at conclusion that will ultimately
be accepted by the administration
and the public at large as the only So
luton.
Turn them over to the Japanese, -
said the general Let them have
them on the installment plan o. the
consideration, say of $50. 900 900.
Our government does not need the
money in lump sum, and by. making
proposition of that kind we can die
tate as to coaling stations and make
such reserves as are thought to be
best for the trade interests.
"An arrangement of that kind can
be effected that will give the United
States as broad a road into the mar
lets of the Orient as if we retained
the islands; besides we would be
making strong allies of two nations
that will represent our interests on
that side of the globe without the
necessity of the presence of a large
army at an enormous cost"
