cAcAo PROFITABLE IN CUBA.
Other Parts of the World Unable to
Supply the Growing Demand.

Supply the Growing Demand.
According to Director Earle or the
Cuban agricultural experiment station,
the cacao grows well in many PARIS
or the island and probably would
flourish even in regions row consid.
cred unsuited to it if a little moro
study were given to its needs. Cacao
lis a very attractive crop for the ag-
riculturist, for the development of re-
gions suitable for its culture has alto
gether failed to keep pace with the
growing demand. The worlds annual
production at present is 100000 900
pounds, valued at S30,000,000.
Pref. William S. Lyon of the Phllip-
pine bureau of agriculture has pre-
pared some figures giving the cost
and the revenue from a cacao farm of
forty acres, which are very attractive
when it is remembered that the term
of productivity runs to eighty or Il
hundred years. The cost of land is
not included in the estimate. because
that item varies so greatly. Here is
Prof. Lyons estimate for a term of
ten years, the expenses being based
on systematic scientific management.
while the returns are based on trees
that have no culture whatever, 50
that there is a wide margin on the
side of conservatism.
The expenses for the first year
which include clearing the land and
the purchase of equipments, seeds,
cattle and implements, building and
labor, aggregate $4,000 The ex-
penses for the second and third years
are limited to $3.50 a year for interest
on the investment and for deteriora-
ton of equipment
The expenses for the fourth year
are increased by the cost of building
a drying house and sweat boxes.
This, including the interest. brings the
outlay for four years up to $4,000.
Other crops can be raised between
the growing trees in the second, third
and fourth years that will defray the
operating expenses until the cacao
trees begin to bear.
The first crop will he gathered in
the fifth year. The cost of harvesting
curing and packing will bring the e&-
pense account up to $1,000. To off
set this there will be a yield of 300
grams of cacao per tree from II, $50,
worth about $3.50.
The yield of cacao in the sixth year
will probably be 500 grams to the tree
or a crop worth about $2,0S0, while
the running expenses will be about
1890, leaving a profit Of $500. The
net profits may now be expected to
grow at the rate Of $1,000 year un-
til the tenth We when the net re-
turns will be $1,000

FARM HANDS AND MoLAssgs.

The farm hands, a dozen brawny
colored men, had washed at the
pump, and now sat patiently ano
quietly at the table. Soon their din

There was some kim VI DoIlea
pork, long, pow oblong of pure white
fat with just one thread of lean run

delicious pone made by the southern
cook; and there were potatoes

The men put the BLACK molasses
on their fat pork. The farmer said

used to have an overseer who
could no more have eaten his dinner
without molasses than without d
knife. He would take on his plate
meat, potatoes, corn, Jeans and so Oh,
and he would chop and mingle these
things together, adding bits of bread
besides, and lastly he would take
the molasses jug and pour on about
half pint. That seems like a heavy

Natural Detective Force.

I'VE have a better detective force
in the old country than there is in
the states" remarked Governor H. P.
Hoggart of Alaska. THAT detective
force is nature. When a man COM
mits a crime in the states he has
many places to hide and he often
manages to evade the authorities for
ever. If one Of our people who does
something wrong belives the climate
of some other country will better suit
his health and he makes for that
country he undertakes the impossible.
All we have to do is to sit and wait.
There is only one way out of Alaska
and that is by coming to the coast.
and when the criminal comes to the
coast he is sure to be caught. So
well has the United States signaI
corp done its work in Alaska that we
have telegraph line to every mining

takes leg bail all there is to do is to

Shortly before midnight a hospital
train which had been sent from

the wreck and the work of taking

dead were taken to the morgue,

1t has been proved that the dan

distance from the scene of the acct

freight cars passed. The train was
going at the rate Of sixty miles an
hour and Engineer Hildebrand stated
that on account of the heavy fog he
could not see the signal. His train
ran into the Frederick train Just as

Both Engineer Hildebrand and the
