That the old spirit still lives in Cuba

ity and good appearance. 1t may be
killed, it may be gored, and even some
are made of the circular style. These
last named are apt to sag unless cut
and made by an artist.
One sees no one nowadays holding
up long skirt. For the house the all
round length is favored, but eschewed
for street wear. This winter we may
have afternoon and evening gowns
with longer, fuller skirts, but even this
is more or less problematical. The
styles are not yet at the assured stage.
For wear with the short skirt, there
is strong prospect that the straight
front fitted coat will be preferred.
Vests may continue to be a feature of
wraps, but it is pretty early to proph-
esq concerning this. The jacket for
the short suit reaches below the waist
line, a basqued affair resembling the
old-fashioned riding habits
1t looks as though the separate skirt
were to be very popular again, and
that the pleated instep skirt were to
keep up its wide popularity. While
there is a tendency towards plain ma
terials there are excellent ones on dis
play in sort of shadow check, indis-
tinct combinations of soft cO1ors. Color
is to be prominent the coming season,
but for walking costume there are
offered black cloths with suggestion
of white about them, the white some
times hair-line effect, again part Of
the ground. Then there is very at
tractiye material which presents two
colors, but without any definite design;
one mixture of blue-plum and red is
very rich.

There is good promise that the instep

greenhouse would require another
$500. For miscellaneous equipment.
including tools, outbuildings and stock,
5000 would be necessary for start.
Thus, there would be invested in the
neighborhood Of $1,000. If the man
himself wished to live at the place,
as he should do, it would probably re-
quire from $500 to $1,000 for house.
In producing a variety of crops, as in
Dictated above, the gross income from
such place should be at least $1,000
per annum. Practically, all the work
on such place could be done by the
owner, with some little assistance from
time to time in spring and fall.
The crops handled should be gen

palms, ferns, etc., which could be sold
as pot plants-and carnations, roses,

Vegetable growing as a speciality Is
more profitable near the larger cities.
Cities ranging in size from $4,000 in
population upward are the ones which
should be considered in this connec-
ton.
In this York larger areas of land are
required. !Eyom one to five acres will
answer the purpose, but for larger
business ten acres or even as many as
20 acres may be necessary. The nature
and character of the soil play an inn
portant part, and the grower should be
in a situation to Sontrol the soil so far
as possible that is, he should not bs
so placed as to have to purchase his
soil, which is an expensive item in it
self, as this takes out of his hands to
certain extent the possibility of con-
trolling conditions. In the growth OK

walton, that contains comparatively
little clay, and that holds moisture
readily and yet dries out quickly; in
other words, a good, rich garden loan.
The soil under glass must be changed
every year and sometimes moro than
once year
The chief crops that may be grown
are lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes.
AS incidental crops, mushrooms, beets.
dandelions, cauliflowers, etc, may be
used. Lettuce and cucumbers, how
ever, constitute nine-tenths OF tho
crops that are grown in this way, and.
all things considered, are more profit
able than anything else in this field.
In beginning work of this nature 1t
is essential to consider the fact that
when start is made it will have to be
ON such a scale as to enable the grower
to produce crops not only Of good quail
ity, but In sufficient quantity to pay a
dealer to handle them. This is es-
pecially true if the grower depends on
commission merchants or wholesale
dealers to market his products The
first essential is to grow good crops;
the second is to produce them in such
quantities that the demand when once
created will not fail for lack Of supply
Lettuce for example, is grown under
glass usually from October until
March, three crops being produced in
this time. The first crop should bs
on the market by Thanksgiving Day
or earlier, and there should be steady
supply through the rest Of the season
until the middle of March.
To start in work of this kind on the
basis of five acres would require some
thing like the following on an out
lay:

The intelligent grower, conducting
his work in proper manner, planning

should be able to secure from this
amount of land and glass gross in
come of from $4,000 to $4,000 an
nualIy, or a net income Of from $1,000
to $4,000.

NMWlE Such beautiful rich StuffS
as the autumn brings forth,
such cool, pleasant days in
which to loiter and study what is be-
ing worn, what is to be worn.
Well, we are going to have wonder
full colors this season, never were they
more attractive. They are not vivid,
and they certainly are not colorless.
A faddy season it is to be, but the
shades will not be SO delicate as the
pastel tones of recent fashion
What are the new shades? There
are dull, dark blues, dim plums and
the raspberry tints. What are the ma
terials? Velvets and broadcloths are
to have great vogue, and our old friend
henrietta cloth. The DULY fady tones
are beautiful in this latter fabric, and
it is sure to be in high favor. Chiffon
and mOusseline de sole will be very
popular for evening gowns. And there
we are with this diversified. fashion
knowledge to go by-thick velvets and
broadcloth and soft wool daytimes,
thin stuffs for evening.
The henrietta may be made up in SIM
pie shirt-waist dresses, and equally well
in more elaborate afternoon gowns.
When chosen for the latter costume, it
should be made with a full, all-round
skirt, and a chemisette and mitten
cuffs of Irish crochet to give a dressy
touch. Although worn by every wom-
an one meets, the chemisette and I'M
dersleeve accessory promises to re-
main in mode.
Poplins and Panama cloth will have
vogue, too, following the costlier fab
RIGS which they initiate. 1t is thought
trimmings will be on a monotone,
rather than show contrast. Velvet
trimmings are almost always becoming
as we'll as rich in effect, and we are
glad they are to be used again. Often
a woman can wear black velvet hat
when black in any other material
would be very trying, and the softness
of velvet makes many colors possible
that otherwise would have to be re-
jected

and full, the fullness much greater in

Al A m ITH the rapid growth Of
MlH% population and the shifting
%ANYM of industrial centers there
NZyZY have been constant changes
w W in agricultural practices. A
study of the worlds history
shows that while agriculture has been,
and will continue to be, the primary
basis of wealth, it has reached the high
est development where most closely al
lied with the factory. No country can
contiue to be prosperous where agricul-
ture is the sole dependence, nor can
any country hope to be Independent
and enjoy the best fruits of its indus
try where manufacturing constitutes
the chief source of wealth. The farm
and the factory must go side by side
in order to bring about. the greatest
progressive, intellectual, and industrial
development
Nearly all of the best arabic land Of
the country has now been taken up,
and those who are most vitality con-
cerned with soil production realize that
henceforth the main problem for the
man who intends to make cultivation
of the soil his occupation will be not
so much question of greater acre
age as of greater production from a
given acre,
Recognizing the necessity for great
er diversification and greater produc-
ton per acre, the question arises, in
what manner can this result be best
brought about? With the increasing
growth of our cities and the accumula-
ton of great numbers of people in
comparatively small areas. with the ex-
tension of railroads, telephone and tele-
graph system, rural free-delivery, and
trolley lines, there will be an increas-

SANTA FE HOPING TO
RELEASE TRAINS TONIGHT
Weather Is Unusually Warm and the
Melting Snow Is Making Re-
pairs Most Difficult

By Associated Press.
RATION, N. M, April 29.-At o'clock
tonight a message received at
Santa Fe headquarters here from Su-
perintendent Easley, who has been at
the scene of the different washouts
east of here, saying that the
washout at Jansen, two and one
half miles west of Trinidad, will be re-
paired by midnight and it is hoped to
send some of the delayed coast trains
out some time tonight.
Three delayed California Limited
trains were transferred around the
washout at Jansen this afternoon.
1t is claimed that all the bridges
and landslides have been repaired and
everything awaits the completion of the
new track around the break at Jansen.
The weather today has been unusual
ly warm and with the deep snow in the
mountains the Santa Fe company has
it's hands full keeping the weak bridges
and soft roadbed in anything like a
safe condition.
Eleven westbound trains are held at
La Junta and Trinidad and an equally
large number are strung out all the
way from Winslow to Ration, bound
east.
