care that growers developing orange and
grapefruit groves.
These lands will produce the trees II food
to support them is supplied In the shape of fer
tilizer and the trees will bear citrus fruit of the
very best quality-bright colored, weighty, full
of juice, inclosed In smooth thin rind. No fair
minded person longer doubt that they will
do so after seeing fruit of the quality which
growers located at Taco Taco exhibited at the
latest horticultural show in Havana. These gen.
tlemen had, however, the money to keep their
trees properly nourished. Many others who have
failed to succeed they succeeding owe that
failure TO the fact that they did not have the
money to do as much for their groves
Some land companies doing business in west
ern Cuba deny overtly or by implication that fer
tilization is necessary, but no prospective owner
of a ctrusfruit grove in western Cuba can afford
not to include in his estimate of expenses the
cost of fertilizing early and often in amounts
properly augmented as years pass Fertilizers in
general use in the groves of the region mentioned
cost on fair average, about $45 ton.
This is the situation in the Isle of Pines, as
well as In the western and central mainland of
Cuba. "The soils are all poor in plant food COM
pared with the average soils In the United States,
and the gravel ridges especially So" states
Mr.. Fl. G. Henricksen, secretary of the Cuban
National horticultural society, referring particu-
larly to the Isle of Pines. "but have never seen
the effect of good fertilizers so. sharply outlined
Florida and Porto Rico would predict an abun-
dant crop of fruit of superior quality wherever
the groves are properly treated"
The vital question In these regions is, then,
whether the owner Is able to afford proper treat
ment. He will, save In exceptional cases, where
the soil is too American" for any use whatso-
ever, get his crop provided he has the money to
supply enough fertilizer.
For there are richer lands in Cuba than those

Along the Cauto river, to mention but one
locality, there are exceedingly deep, fertile, yr-
gin soils which need no fertilizer to produce cit
rus fruit groves. Such lands must, at the very
commencement, be cleared. at some expense. OF

near the center. These sides have no
ornamentation of any kind In the
back there is a group of small tucks
in the center and at the neck is a
large collar, which was made of a
handkerchief, the border forming a
novel trimming. The sleeves are
puffs and are of three-quarter length

Judues' Wics.

The wig is only worn by English
barristers to give them a sterI judi
cial appearance, and no one can say
that it fails In this respect. The Gus
tom was originated by French
judge in the seventeenth century
when. happening to don marquis
wig one day, he found it gave him
such stern and dignified appearance
that he decided to get one for himself
and wear 1t at all times in court.
This he did, and the result was so
satisfactory from legal point OF
view, that not only judges, but bar
risters, also, took up the custom
throughout Europe.

Paris Pattern No. 1929, All Seams
Allowed.-The waist of this charming
model is made with a group of tucks
at the shoulder in front and a single
Gibson tuck on each side in the back.
In the front there is also sort of
vest, in the center of which the clos
ing Is arranged. 1t is the divided
skirt of this suit which offers the
novel feature. For swimming 1t will
be found excellent, as it is cut with
the cores as straight as possible, and
the leg openings are left free at the
knee. Brilliantine is about the best
material for a bathing suit, as it
stands the frequent wettings in either
fresh or salt water without losing it's

Houston, Tex, Dec .17.-When cow

Of the great ranches Of Texas may be
safely said to have passed forever.

opened negotiations for % miles OF
steel rails to be used in the construc-

and actually closing the link between
the Gulf coast and the Pacific Not a
bond has been issued Instead, the c.
B. Live Stock company, owning the Bar
n ranch, simply declared a dividend on
the land and has built the railroad.

road in Texas against which no bonds
have been issued" explained Mr.. Bas-
sett. Everyone out our way has mon

but we have been accumulating other
things since the price of land and the
