Dimirutive Farms.

The Portuguese are an extremely
conservative people. Every man fol
lows rigidly the methods employed
by his father and forefather. In very
many parts of the country the old
wooden plows are still used.
When man dies, instead of one
of the heirs taking the whole proper
ty and paying the remaining heirs
for their parts. the whole property
is divided into as many parts as there
are heirs. More than this. each sep
crate part of the property is thus di-
vided.
Thus. IL property consists of 10
acres of pasture land. so of vineyard,
and 10 of grain land and there were ten
heirs, each would receive one acre
each of grain and pasture land and
eight acres of vineyard. This pro-
cess has been going on for a very
long time, so that now in the most
fertile part of Portugal the land Is
divided into incredibly SMALL portions.
The immediate results of this, ac-
cording to the United states consul
lar reports. is that the product of the
land is barely sufficient at best to sus-
tain its owners. South of the river
Tagus, on the other hand. there are
enormous tracts of excellent land ly-
ing unused. but it has been found i'm
possible to induce the farmers of the
north 10 move into this region and
take up large Observation-Disclosures

A device has recently been per-
fected which makes possible to keep
continually transparent the window
or strip of celluloid in the curtain
affording protection to the chauffeur.
In a heavy now or rain storm this
window is often in a few minutes
rendered Opaque, which the inven-
ton obviates by substituting for the
stationary window an endless strip
of celluloid, or some other suitable
material, which is kept revolving
on rollers above and below and at
the same time is pressed against a
brush which removes the particles
of SHOW, etc, that obstruct the Wis
aon. The power for keeping this
strip in motion is derived from the
engine.
