Consul General James L. Rodgers, In
answer to inquiries. furnishes the in
formation concerning the expectation
of honey and beeswax from Cuba:
Although there are large amounts of
these products exported, there has been
no practical exploitation of the bust
ness, except on a few places owned
by Europeans.
According to the last available statfs-
tics, the exports Of honey for one year
amounted to s,712,5s3 pounds of which
a little less than so per cent went to
Germany. about % per cent to France.
about 10 per cent to the United States.
and the remainder to various European
countries.
The exports of wax. which was prin-
cipally produced from honey, during
the year, amounted to 1,3SS,464 pounds.
of which Germany took little leas
than so per cent, the United States
about 25 per cent, France about 20 per
cent, remainder being distributed among
various European countries.
The keeping of bees is OF general
practice in the country districts. and
the hiving and all other matters con-
nected Herewith are of most print
tive character. the hive being usually
a section of a palm trunk, and no par
ticular care is taken to preserve the
life of the hive during the taking of
the honey. Such practice. it should be
understood, is not followed at the mod
ern apiaries, where there is as careful
treatment and as modern apparatus as
is found in any country.
All varieties OF bees, especially the
italian. thrive exceedingly well in Gu
ba, there being an abundance OF the
plant life needed for their maintenance.

APPLYING COMMERCIAL FERTIL-
IzEES

Farmers make serious mistake when
they apply their commercial fertilizer too
close to the soils surface. My own ex-
perience with these fertilizers teaches
me that it is profitable to apply the
fertilizers before the ground is narrowed
the last time and get them well incor-
porated with the soil and down where
they belong before the crops are planted
or sowed.
Much of the complaint concerning crop
when these fertilizers are used
can be traced to applying them to the
surface of the soil where they encourage
the growth of surface roots that perish
as soon as the dry weather comes on and
shuts off the food supply of the growing
crops.
Plant crops will grow toward their
food supply and when the phosphoric
acid and potash become fixed in the sur
face soil there can be no other result
than a vigorous system of surface roots.
This is the reason why so many farmers
claim that it does not pay to use these
fertilizers during dry seasons.
If the fertilizers are we'll mixed with
the soil down to a depth of three or four
inches there will be no complaint about
the crops burning up as soon as the dry
weather comes in the summer. In apply
ing mineral fertilizers to grass land it is
better to apply large quantities when
seeding than to apply small amounts
to the surface of the soil frequently af-
ter the land is seeded.-W. NJ. Kelley.

If the bark is gnawed to the wood the
trees may be saved by bridge grating.
If the rabbits have gnawed only the
outer bark. wrap the wound with cloth.
A tree can be bridge grated in less

take this time to do it than to let a
valuable tree die.

There is just as much sense in plant
ing an orchard and then allowing it 10
shift for itself as there is in planting
corn field and allowing it to run to
weeds.
Keep the fence around the orchard
as free from weeds. grass and trash as
you would your choicest garden plants.
Weeds along the fence are fine harbors
for insects.
The best place in the world for the
poultry yard is the orchard-any kind
of an orchard where insects abound.

THE srruArToN IN MEXICO

They are having hot old time beyond
the Rio Grande Mexicans are fighting
Mexicans, and it Is civil war, even If it
is a small war, as compared to others
that we have been acquainted with in by
gone years.
Somehow do not feel the lively in
terest in the Mexican scrimmage that
did in the Cuban difficulty.
The situation was different in Cuba,
for Spain, the foreign owner, was tyran-
meal and oppressive. and really believe
the Cuban situation has been vastly inn
proved by the Intervention of the Amer
ican army.
Perhaps President Taft has an idea in
start a terrible blaze, one that does a
something for Mexico on the same line
of intervention etc, but confess
thought he was hasty in rushing our
troops to the border and stationing our
battleships not far away from the bat
tleground, where Mexicans were in the
throes of patricidal strife.

his mind that the United States may do
lot of mischief.
