Trinidad Quiet and Pretty.

Another curious old town in this neigh
borhood is Trinidad, which was the second
European settlement in Cuba and has the
reputation of having the oldest and tho
finest private residences on the island. Il
Is quiet pretty place with a small pop,i-
lation composed mostly of wealthy sugar
planters. ranchmen and rich people from
other parts of the island who have been at
tracted by the climate and the superior CO.
ciety. The people of Trinidad consider
themselves the most exclusive aristocracy
in Cuba. They are all natives; no for
eigners have been allowed to intrude. Many
of the rich planters have residences In
Paris, where they live the greater part OF
the year for social reasons and to educate
their children, but they often come here
during the sugar season between December
and May. The younger generation are 60
ing to New York instead OF Paris, and In
recent years have sent quite large colony
to Saratoga every summer.
The neighborhood of Trinidad has the
reputation Of being particularly favorable
for fruit culture. and several Americana
have recently taken up land and have
started groves Of oranges. grapefruit and

The Cuban Hard Woods.

Mahogany is often used for ties by the
railroads In Cuba, as well as in other
tropical countries, but Sir William Van
Horne has forbidden it on his road. He
considers it crime to cut small mahog-
any trees, and there is plenty of other
timber in the forests suitable for construc-
ton purposes. A bridge on the Cuba rail-
road near Santiago is built entirely Of ma
hogany, but in violation of orders The
contractor did not know, or claimed not
to know, that the caoba tree, as it is
called in Spanish, was the mahogany
which Sir William had tabooed, and the
latter did not learn that he had a ma
hogany bridge on the line until it had been
in use for several months.
Jique pronounced hickey, acana, jucaro
negro, all hard woods. which do not grow
large and cannot be utilized for cabinet
work. are Just as good as mahogany for
ties, and will outlast steel rails in this
climate because they will not rust. On the
railroad between Nuevitas and Camaguey,
the oldest in Cuba, which was ,h1dt IN
1888, are jique ties that have bee6 In use

COURSE WORTH So, 900 A YEAR

Oscar M. Strand, a former short
course student from Barron county
has sent to the Unworthy of Wiscon-
sin agricultural college a report OF a
years work on his fathers 200-acre
farm, which he manages. Mr.. Strand
studied bookkeeping in the short
course, and now keeps a systematic
account of his dealings. He finds
that his gross receipts from the sale
of horses, hogs, cattle, hay, potatoes,
milk, sugar beets, oats and barley
during the year amounted to S3,o4O.
His expenses have been small, leav-
ing at least $4,000 net gain. Mr.
Strand says he is sure that tW O.
thirds of this good showing is due
to the application of the methods
taught in the short course. The val
ue of the instruction figured mathe-
matically, on this basis, must there
fore be $4,000 for the year considered.

GINSENG $4,000 PER ACRE

Two=fifths of ton OF ginseng root
was marketed last week from the
Wisconsin ginseng gardens at Ham
burg, Marathon county. It was all
taken from less than one-fourteenth
of an acre or considerably less than
one-half OF an ordinary building lot.
1t was grown in fifty-eight beds each
three by eighteen feet.
AS 81 per pound is now offered for
dried cultivated ginseng, and as it
takes about three pounds OF green
roots to make one pound OF dry the
value of this little buggy load would
be about 81, 900. The ground was
occupied by this crop five years.
But the roots dug for the dry mar
ket by no means represent the total
crop produced, for these roots, dur
ing the last three years of their life
have produced large quantity OF
seed which was planted and has pro-
duced young roots and the remain
ing seed represents nearly three
times the value of the roots dug for
the dry market, SO that the total
crop produced on the above space OF
ground in five years is considerably
over $1,000, or nearly 81 copper square
foot.
julius Boelter OF Bryant owns a
large ginseng garden. He has 49,
600 plants up; 10000 plants will come
up nextspring, and this fall he plant
ed $4,000 seeds which will not come
up for eighteen months. He will be
able to dig and sell roots next fall
and then his income from ginseng
will come yearly.

Two cases tried in circuit court
this week illustrate very forcibly the
the looseness of business methods
which is all too prevalent, and ex-
cept for which our courts would be
grinding only half time-if some
would not have to be discontinued
altogether.
A man buys q piece OF property,
goes ahead and puts up buildings
aud makes other improvements to
the value of several hundred dollars
perhaps even fences it-without as
certaining from any competant au-
thority the exact location of his
lines and corners. Then he goes in
to court and spends a hundred times
what it would have cost to survey
it, in trying to prove that he is a
good guesser.
Another man travels a thousand
miles in search of cheap land, upon
which to make a new home for him.
self and family. He is in a desperate
hurry. He is paying a man $3.50 a
day to care for his stock while he
is away. He can't spare more than
day or two in selec ting a place
that perhaps will be his home for
the next twenty years. The country
contrasts fayorably wi h what he
has been accustomed to and land is
much less in price. The real-estate
agent tells him the farm they look
over is alright, and he appears to be
an honest man. He makes a pay
ment; later decides he has been
''skinned;" goes into court and
spends what would make the bal
ance of the payments-just to prove
that a real estate agent will some
times stretch the truth.
