The three most common varieties now
grown IN Porto Rico IRE The Crystalline, the
O5ahejte, or White, and the Rayado, or
Striped. One variety will prove best in one
locality, and prevail, while in other sections
another will do best. Again, it is often found
advisable 10 change the variety on a certain
piece of land. 1t appears that no only does
the rotation of the crop prove advisable, but
that often a change in the variety will prove
of advantage.
Two lesser known varieties in Porto Rico
are the Penang, and ConQngerie, or French,
cane. The former grows well in very heavy
wet lands, and the latter is very free from
disease. The French cane is said to have
been introduced from Mauritius during a
time when disease was rampant, in the Sc
venties. Neither of these two canes is in
the first class as sugar producers.
The Experiment Station and Guanica Cen
trail are growing new varieties of cane from
the seed IN the arrow. Several thousands of
these have already been produced, bu5 sutfi-
Gent time has not elapsed to test them tho
roughly as sugar producers. In the mean
time, q number Of Seeding ctnes produced
and tested 10y The British stations have been
under trial. 4 few comments on these will
doubtle1s prove interesting
A great many cuttings from these canes
have been seut to planters in different sec
tions Of Porto Rico, and have beon very ia
vourably received. On the whole, they have
proved superior to the old varieties, not only
Al showing increased sugar production, but
il general hardness and freedom from dis
ease.
The laboratory tests, while Of course, in
conclusive, have shown q fair average in.
crease in sucrose over the old varieties.
Some mill tests made by the Guanica Cen
trail also shovel very faYourably for the
seeding canes.
At the Experiment Station the following
canes have given excellent results: D.. 95,
D117, B.347 and B.I,355. AS resistant to
drought, T.77 D1l7, B347 and B.3,289
have done we'll on the south side.
On the east end of the island, the pre-
Iiminary tests of Seeding canes have been
very satisfactory. 50 far as tested, they are
ranked as follows TIT, B.3,289, B.317,
Dit, DDS.
In Louisiana, D.74 is highly considered.
In Porto Rico, however, while very sweet,
this cane does not grow large enough, as it
1Ipons early.
It is we'll suited TO q short-growing season
like that in Louisiana. Guanica Central, on

A Threat That Always Brings Eng
lands Upper House to Terms.
10 override the veto OF the house Of
lords by a wholesale creation Of peers
is plan that has been often threat
ened, but hardly ever put into prac-
tice, It certainly places the king in
very unenviable predicament-so much
so that in 1719. after a crisis Of the
kind. George l. caused to be intro
duced into the lords a blll for limiting
the power Of the sovereign to create
peers. a sort Of royal self denying or
dinance.
The measure was twice passed ln the
lords. but twice rejected by the com-'
mons which was lucky, for had it
been carried 1t would have made the
house Of lords an almost Interchangeable
body. entirely beyond the control Of
king OF minister or commons.
The nearest approach that was ever
made TO "swampIng the lords" was IN
1892, when the fate Of the great re-
form bill trembIed in the balance Over
and over again the measure had been
passed by the commons. only TO be re-
jected by the lords. The country was
furious. Payment Of taxes was re-
fused. Riots broke out everywhere.
The prime minister. Lord Grey, went
to the king and begged him to create
new peers to carry the bill. His maj
esty refused. and the ministry re-
signed The king. however. presently
changed his mind and. fearing revo-
luton agreed to the creation Of a hum
dred new peers, "or more If necessary"
Then, very reluctantly, the upper house
gave way. and the bill became law

HOUSEKEEPING REALLY AN ART


On the census records Of the United
States are the names Of thousands Of
women who are forging ahead in the
professional world, wrecking the old
time-worn traditions of woman's lack
Of business acumen; forcing the men
Of today to acknowledge and accept
their equality. There are among
these women doctors, lawyers, mechan-
les, electricians, stenographers, horse
shoers, dressmakers, nurses and every
kind Of working womana in the world
except housewives. says the Philadel-
phia Times.
The housewives have no standing in
the United States. She goes on record
as an idIer, despite the fact that, I'M
like the professional woman who
starts from sun to sun, her work IS
really never done. Whyg That's the
big question that housewives through
cut the country have been asking right
along.
After all, TO keep house well and
economically, to keep the noise Of the
wheels within the wheels from reach
Ing the ears Of the various members
Of the family, and to make everything
cheerful and comfortable IS far harder
work than to accomplish a definite
task in definite way in front Of a

% be q good housekeeper, and it is the
women themselves who should make
It into a profession.
The trouble Is, women have always
accepted the care Of the house as a
duty that had to be performed, and
one that was merely task to be ac.
complished as quickly as possible.

fell upon the shoulders Of any girl who
