One other industry has Curacao that is OF espe-

lemstad has become the great distributing point
for sensational and unreliable news concerning

Curacao really is the top of almost sub
merged volcano, like many other islands OF the
West Indies and lies almost within sight OF the
coast of Venezuela. For many months at
stretch not drop of rain falls there and the
whole island looks like big bare brown and gray
rock Then comes wet week, and grass and
shrubbery spring up as by magic and clothe hill
and valley in mantle of green. But 1t Is only
grass and shrubbery, for there is not tree on
the island more than ten feet in height. The an

Its barbor-lake these bloody sea-rovers sailed with
rich cargoes captured from the Inflated merchant
men that had fallen into their hands and the
stores of gold and goods from plundered cities
on the mainland The place was safe from all
pursuers and there the pirates divided their spoils
and reitted for new raids But in all the chron-
lcles of the buccaneers there is little mention OF
Curacao and no record of it's ever having been
attacked by them. From 1884, when the Holland
ers apparently found it without an owner, the
island was a Dutch possession. Thrifty merchants
settled there, and 1t requires no stretch of the
imagination to suppose that their immunity from
raids due to the excellent facilities they at
forded the pirates for disposng of loot The cities
of the mainland and of a dozen islands of the
Caribbean were repeatedly ravaged and burned
and the inhabitants subjected to torture and mas
sacre. But Curacao was unmolested save for two
inefectual expeditions for it's capture organized by
the Spanish during European wars
And the Curacao of to-day? Well, it hasn't
changed greatly, to accommodate itself to
latterday conditions. Rich cargoes still are UNI
loaded at its wharves, but they are sent there in
steamers by the merchants of Europe and Ameri.
Sober, peaceful Dutch Jews take the mer-
chandise in hand, and little later much of it is
loaded into sloops and schooners which sail away
for the mainland of Latn-America Still later
this same merchandise appears for sale on the
counters of merchants in the cities Of Colombia,
Venezuela and Central America, at prices that
preclude the suppositon that has passed through
the custom houses and paid the heavy import du-
ties that are imposed in those countries.
In a word, Curacao has become the headquar-
ters for the smuggers of the Caribbean. Little

GROWING ONIONS.
The Most Profitable Crop Which the
Farmer Can Raise.

For the new settler in Wisconsin,
whose area of cultivated land is small,
no crop can be more profitably raised
than onions. To the majority of farm.
ers this will seem like an untenable
proposition, for it is said, by most of
those to whom this statement is made,
that in raising onions the amount of
labor involved reduces the net profit.
There is no question that this is true
when onions are raised by the usual
methods. When, however, new meth.
DDS are employed, by means of which
the greatest share of the labor is elm
mated, the net profit becomes great
and this, too, from comparatively
small patch of land.
There are three conspicuous factors
which determine the profit in raising
crop, says the Wisconsin Agriculture
alist: the amount of land required
the amount of labor necessary, and the
price secured. Two of these factors
may be Immediately dropped, for the
area of land required is small and the
price is usually good. There remains,
therefore, the labor involved to be con-
sidered.
AS the area of land required for on
ions is small, the labor expended in
blowing and dragging is not great, nor
in preparing the crop for market is
there nearly so large an amount of
work necessary as in preparing such
crop as sugar beets. The principal la
