SAYS SMALL REFlNERS
MUST QUIT BUSINESS
Period Of Readjustment Of Conditions
Will Require Ten Years-Is-
land Trade Increased.

A decade Of hard times, to begin in
about three years, faces Porto Rico, is
the prediction of the retiring governor of
the island, George r. Cotton. This, too,
is despite the fact that the insular in
dustries show Increased production in
every line and increased valuation in
everything but sugar.
1t is the sugar situation that is the
menace to the prosperity of Porto Rico,
says Gov. Cotton. The three-year period
given for the removal of all tariff pro-
lection on sugar. in Gov Cotton view.
will allow that time before the full rigor
of the new condition is felt. In the
meantime, the insular industries may
continue to show gain. or at least hold
their own.
But with the removal of the tariff tax
and the entire failure OF protection, In
his opinion, VIII come situation that
will be demoraiizing throughout Porto
Rico. The small refiners, now working
on borrowed capital, will be forced out
Of business by the withdrawal Of such
financial support, and will be either alb
sorbed by the larger concerns or quit
entirely.
The sugar raisers will have to find new
crops, and there Is no general crop that
will supplant sugar and yield the same or
near the same revenue. To turn their
sugar plantations into pasturage for the
raising Of stock. once a prominent in
dustry that it has been suggested, may
be resumed, will depreciate land valua-
lions. as the acreage profit would be
vastly reduced. II the farmers turn to
crops shis is something they will have

Colton's opinion, will require all Of ten

there will be the severest sort OF hard
times. He points out that with 800 peo-
Pile to the square mile the island is more
thickly populated than any part Of the
United States. except some Of the fac
tory districts in Massachusetts. The
island will have to produce for the main
tenance of this population, and there ia
sure to be much hardship until condi-
lions Of prosperity are restored.
The retiring governor and his sister
have just returned from Porto Rico, and
will make their home in Washington. His
resignation takes effect November 5, just
exactly completing four years of service.
He is the only governor Of Porto Rico
who has served out q full term.
His selection for the Office was a recess,
appointment, and he was not confirmed
by the Senate until December 10, 1903.
While his legal term would not expire
until the same date this year. Gov. COL
ton was anxious that his successor should
take Office, SO as to be prepared for the
session of the legislature. He will de-
vote his immediate attention to SUPER
vision Of some of his own properties In
the west, spending much Of his time In
his Washington home.

Past Year Prosperous.

The past year in Porto Rico, says Gov.
Cotton, has been a period Of continued
prosperity and marked by development
of all activities. Every industry, he de-
clares, has yielded greater productive
ness and more money. Willing labor has
helped to this end Humanitarian legis-
lation for protection of workers and de-
pendants has marked the lawmaking Of
Porto Rico.
Since 1901 the trade Of the island has
increased fivefold, he says. In the past
four years it has doubled. Ninety per
cent of all the trade il with the United
States. of which II is now the twelfth
best customer
He notes a big increase of the volume
Of trade but comments on the fact that
the increase is as a buyer from the
United States rather than as seller.
OF $50, 100000 purchased from the United
States most Of the trade was for manu-
featured articles The sales to the United
States were mostly raw products, amount
ing to $40.O00O00. These raw materials
would probably have had to be bought in
manufactured form from foreign nations
had not the United States found them
produced within its own territorial do
main.

Hours of Sleep.

According to DR., Frederick B.
Percy of the Boston university
school of medicine. the least eultur-
ed and least developed adults need
the most sleep, and the higher the
intellectual development the more
prone one is to dreams. The healthy
child of two years passes half its
time in slumber. The adult re-
quires from seven to eight hours of
sleep daily, aged persons not more
than FIVE or six hours. Women
need, as rule, more sleep than
men. There are persons to whom
nine or even ten or twelve hours
of sleep are essential. while others
seldom sleep more than six out of
the twenty-four. Too much sleep
is possible. Sleep undisturbed is
what we all desire.

clean up both the corn and rape
Pumpkins are u good feed for old hogs
late IN the fall.
One Of the advantages Yorkshire
breeds have over other types is that
they can he marketed at almost any
age. With good. liberal treatment they
reach prime weights ut six and seven
months. weighing 145 to 200 pounds or
better. They can be held little longer
and turned off at 225 to $50 pounds to
advantage. IL held year they can be
made to tip the scales at 400 pounds.
With extra care they can be made to
do better than that, There are many
kinks In the hog business. One that |
consider important Is to know and like
your hogs. II you like them and study
them this kink will let you on to all

Select good stock and use only a
pure bred boar of your favorite breed.
Then treat this foundation herd well.

Salt the Cows.

Cows should be salted regularly, win
ter and summer. Salt Is an essential
part of the ration even though 1t may
not have much direct food value.
Many farmers who otherwise are care
full feeders neglect the sailing of their
stock. especially In winter. The best
plan is to mix certain percentage Of
salt In the grain feed when It is mixed.
A pound and a half Of salt per 100
pounds Of grain is about right. The
salt will make the grain more palata-
bile. and one will not be so apt to neg
lect feeding any It-is.a wise plan to
keep n supply of salt where the cattle
ran reach It Whenever they are loose.

LEGAL BACK NUMBERS.
Queer Customs That Survive In Spite
Of Their Uselessness.

of Their useiessness.
The law has its little supersti-
.ions Notwithstanding the preya-
lent conception of that science as
cold, Unconditional and severely log
zeal.
For instance, what useful pur-
pose is served by inserting in a
bond, conditioned for the payment
OF money, a penal sum of twice
the amount of the actual debt?
Bonds have been thus drawn since
the days of Lord Coke, and the,
printed forms in common use today
contain the ancient penal clause.
By the letter of such a bond the
obligee is clearly entitled to recover
the full penal sum on the obliger's
default in paying the sum specified
in the condition. But has the
obligee, for these two or three hun
dred years, ever been allowed to
recover more than the actual debt
with interest and costs?
BY another common practice
deeds are made to recite that the
grant is made Gin consideration OF
the sum of one dollar, good and
lawful money of the United States
of America, to me in hand paid, the
receipt whereof hereby acknowl-
edge" or some equivalent formula.
The idea that deed must express
consideration is ineradicable, and
equally fixed appears to be the su-
perstition that a consideration OF
one dollar is quite as effective as a
consideration commensurate with
the value of the estate granted.
Lawyers learned in the law of real
property know better, of course, but
such is the popular notion. 1t is
elementary that as between the par
ties a deed is perfectly valid with
out any consideration at all; other
wise there could be no such thing
as a conveyance by way of gift.
Why do We begin a will with an
invocation to the Deity and recital
that the testator is "of sound mind
md disposing memory" Does the
former aid the testator spiritually,
and does the latter furnish any eyi-
dence of his testamentary capacity?
And why do we SO often insist on
attaching a seal opposite the testa-
tors signature Our statutes do
not require a will to be sealed,
wherefore the seal is wholly super
huous, as the lawbooks have long
advised US.
Many generations of lawyers
learned in equity pleading have fol-
lowed the ancient practice of con-
cluding a bill of complaint with
the solemn assurance, "And thus
your orator will ever pray, etc"
Apparently no modern lawyer knew
what the decaudated formula meant
until recently well known author
ran the thing to its lair among the
ancient rolls of the court Of chan
Gerry and found that (before it lost
its tall it was a prayer for the
health and longevity of the king.
These are only few Of the su-
perstitions that have survived the
days when the trial by battle and
the criminality of witchcraft were
finally eliminated from that law
which is our proud heritage and
which has been SO fondly praised as
"the perfection of human reason"

 Hundreds of butter lamps lie about on tables and mantel shelves and, the windows being closed, the smell of rancid butter is sickening. A large shrine is being erected in the Lama's bedroom. This room will thus be- come a kind of holy of holies in the estimation of the northern Buddhists.

Know the Fertilizer You
 Need Before You Buy
Commissioner of Agricul- ture Jno.H. Page of Little Rock Gives to the Farmers Some Helpful Hints in the Selection of Fertilizers.

The three important constitu- ents of commercial fertilizer are nitrogen, phosphate and potash. Each of these supply a different kind of organic matter and often combination will work the best results. Oftentimes we have to resort to green manures, Qegum- eS) or to stable manureS, or to deeper cultivation to restore fer tility. However, there are few land marks by which one may detect the lack of any particular element.
 Generally speaking, crops grown on soils poor in decaying vegetable matter (humus) are, as a rule, benefited by application of nitrogenous manures. A sandy soil is usually deficient in all the essential plant food con- SGtuents. When a plant looks strong and vigorous, has a good stalk and foliage, it is we'll sup piled with nitrogen. For aver age and poor soils nitrogen is necessary applied either through the form of legumes or com mer cial fertilizer.
 You will observe the need of phosphoric acid when the stalk and foliage is good but the date of maturity late, and the fruit smaller than you would expect to judge from the stalk. Crops grown on soils well supplied with decaying vegetable matter are benefited by phosphates and potash. Upon heavy soil phos-

plates are likely to be more beneficial than nitrogen, while the reverse is the case on light, dry soil.
 If you take piece of soil to plant cotton and there is found to be red clay foundation, ana cotton on this particular spot has not been given to blight or rust, when planted in corn the ears fill out fine and full; you may know that soil does not need pot ash. Potash is a sort of blood purifier Almost all of our hill lands need potash. All sandy soils are, as a rule, deficient in potash, while clayey soils con. tain potash in larger quantities. Space will not permit descrip> tion of each soil and the fertilizer that soil requires.
 The important thing is, know something at least about what your soil needs before you invest in fertilizer. Write Dr. c. F. Adams, Fayetteville, Ark, or this Department for formulas for various crops. If you can spare the money have some good chemist to analyze your soil, if not, write Milton Whitney Blu reau of Soils, Washington, D. C., for his bulletin on "How to Tell What Your Soil Needs.
