THE RESOURCES OF CUBA HER PROSPECTS FOR PROSPERITY WHEN A LASTING PEACE CONIES. The fhoireitt I.and* In California Can* * not Approach the Soil of Cuba in Fer tility—The Mineral Wealth of the la- land—It la an Agricultural .Faradlae. Now that Cuba#in assured of her freedom, it may be interesting to in quire into the resources of the coun try, and ask what may be her pros pects for prosperity when she is no longer restrained and overtaxed by the greedy government, of Spain. The area of Cuba is about 42,000 square miles. Its greatest leugth is 7(50 miles, and its breadth ranges from 20 to 185 miles. Perhaps there is no space of earth the equal in size to Cuba that can begin to compare with her in the production of those things that are useful to man. Antonio y Morales, a noted authority, has pre pared a table showing the variety aud quantities of the staples that can be raised on a tract of thirty-three acres in Cuba. A farm of that size in one year produces thousands of pounds of sugar, coffee, tobacco, cacao (choco late), cotton,indigo, rice, sage, bananas aud yucca. The choicest lands in California—noted for the variety aud quantity of their products—cannot approach the soil of Cuba in this re spect. With its mild climate, its ex uberant vegetation, and the eagerness of the earth to respond to the slight est efforts in the way of culture, Cuba offers an ideal home for the man in love with the agricultural life. The commerce of Cuba, even under the blighting rule of the Spaniard, has been great. In 1898, before the curse of war fell on the island, Cuba exported 718,204 tons of sugar, and produced 815,894 tons. Its exports of molnsst s to the United States alone in that year wo e 7t5o4 hogsheads. Of nun the exports were 9808 pipes. In 1898 the Cuban exports of leaf tobacco were 227,845 bales. Of manufactured cigars 1 i7,8.>5,Ul)0 were extorted, and of cigarettes 89.581,498 packages. These arc only the main exports. Tuey show what may be done with the exhaustless soil and climate of the is land, when its people wore in a condi tion of virtual slavery, ata time when chattel slavery had been abolished only seven years. It is an axiom of economic s ieticg that free labor is in definitely more productive than slave labor, and the industrial growth of the United States is an example of the expansion of industry when enterprise is unhampered by the curse of slavery, a id by foreign political interference. Cuba’s chief industries were growing in spite of the drain upon her before the present war began, for in 1894 her total production of sugar was 1,054,214 tons, an increase of 288,820 tons over the preceding year. The natural resources of Cuba are iufinite, one may say, in variety. Of her area only 10 per cent, is under cultivation. 7 per cent, is not reclaimed, and 4 per cent, is under forests. Great tracts of the island are practically un explored. She had in 1894 a popula tion of a little more than 1,500,000. Of these nearly oue-third have been starved to deaih during the present war. Cuba could support in plenty a population of 10,000,000. / Her for ests are stocked with the finest wood in the world—wood, several species of which are as hard as iron, turning the edge of the axe, and remaining imper ishable under water. There are found woods invaluable for the dye industry, ebony, cellar, fustic, laneewood, ma hogany, rosewood, jocuma, acana and many others. There are tifty varie ties of palm. Her fruits are valuable aud little cultivated. The climate is admirably suited for the olive; aud the orange, thef lemon, the pineapple aud the banana are indigenous. The mineral resources of the island are great, yci the mineral industries are in their infancy. Almost all the metals are found in Cuba. There are gold, silver, mercury, copper, lead, aud ail the forms of asphaltum; anti mony, magnesia, copperas, gypsum, red lead, ochre, salt, arsenic, talc and many others. Copper is abundant in all the metamofphic rocks of Cuba. It is true that coal is yet undiscovered, but under a free republic capital would How into the island, and there is no doubt that true coal would soon be fouud to replace the bitumen that is now use 1, and which is found in springs and mines in great quantities. Cuba is rich in marble, awaiting the capital of the speculator. Great deposits of this rock are found, and in the Isle of Pines there is marble of a quality as fine as the best of that ma terial used by the sculptor. Beau tifully colored garble Hud jasper are common. On the coasts are immense deposits of rock salt, and there are also unlimited quantities of the purest white sand, capable of being convert ed into fine earthenware. Even the illustrious Humboldt was amazed at the richness and variety of the mineral wealth of Cuba. How much of this wealth has been utilized may be gath ered from the fact that at the end of 1891 the total number of mining titles issued in Santiago district was 29C. Of these 138 were iron, 88 manganese, and 53 copper. As a pastoral country Cuba was more productive a century ago than she is now, but her pastures are broad and rich, and the possibilities are un limited. Cuba, with her grand natural pastures, was just beginning to raise fine Durham aud Devonshire stock when the ten-year war desolated the country, and put a stop to the indus try. The millions of acres of free land in Cuba are ready for the agricul turist, the cattle, sheep and hog raiser, the cotton and fruit grower, the miner auj^fhe reducing plant, and even for the silk grower and manufacturer. The mulberry tree grows to perfection in the islaud. Silkworms, according to Dr. Auber, are more prolific and productive in Cuba, than in any other | country on the face of the globe. Hero is a land prepared to yield up ntilitn-a that will add immeasurably to the happiness of the world; waiting to ! blossom into a garden, aud to swarm with population; to develop almost every art of peace; to 1>« converted into an industrial inicrocoain in the macrocosm of the world at large. : Cuba is waiting the hour when the capitalist, assured of peace and unin terrupted growth, may safely enter aud reap the harvest w hich nature has prepared for man in the misruled, throttled aud neglected Pearl of the Antilles, —Chicago Times-Herald. STARTLING PILL STATISTICS. Some I<l>>a of the Consumption of MeJI- eal IVHets by the Fnalish. The British appetite for pills can only be gauged from the revenue re ceipts relating to the stamp duties paid for proprietory mediciues (which last year iu the aggregate amounted to almost a quarter of a milliou pounds) and by making allowances for the pills, dispensed l>y doctors and chemists, which are not dutiable. An allowance of a trifle over half au ounce of pills for each inhabitant of the United Kingdom for the year can not he said to be an extravagant esti mate; indeed,such au allowance means but thirty-two doses a year, or one and a half pounds of pills to last a lifetime of sixtv years. Placed in a straight line, says Tit Bits, the pills of a lifetime would ex tend through some forty feet, and there would be some 1920 of them. The latter figure may seem rather large, but if sixty years of pills were combined into one sphere, it would have a diameter of less than four inches and a circumference of under one foot. It is not until we make calculations regarding the pill as a national deli- ca y that we arrive at any figures of magnitude, and then we find that something like 1,280,000,000 pills are swallowed annually. If these British pills were put in a straight line they would extend from London to Luck now. The placing of the pills in a lengthy line of 5050 miles would afford occu pation for a pair of idle hands during eighty-one years, at the end of which time the owner of the hands would probably find the task of laying down three pills every second during an eight hours’ day Something mono <>u- ous. If in place of putting the n into an extended line we placed the pills in vows of 1085 pills, aud having ar ranged the same number of rows us there were pills in a row as a base, wo could use the rest of the pills in mak ing 1085 similar layers, the i esnltaut cube would have each of its dimen sions rather more than 22 1-2 feet. Having performed, this feat, we could proceed to stir up the lot in a gigantic mortar,and having thorough ly mixed the ingredients—and what a mixture it would ba!—roll the mass into one splendid spherical pill weigh ing 637 tons, and posesssing a diame ter of over 28 f^et, and a circumfer ence of 88 feet. Five men six feet in height, standing ou one another’s shoulders —not heads, that would bo too painful, especially for the one on the ground—would require the ser vices of a small boy to crown the human Eiffel tower in order to get level with the top of the monster pill. Prince of Wale*' Dinner Table, Good taste reigns over all the ar rangements. Thus the tablecloths are severely plain,though of the finest quality, aud simply worked with the royal arms—the rose, the thistle, and the shamrock—while the table nap kins are invariably folded into a small square to hold the bread, and never iu the fancy shapes in vogue elsewhere. To each guest two forks, anduo more, are provided, and these are placed prongs downward. In addition, there are one large tablespoon and one large knife, for in no circumstance are two knives together given to any guest. A great many reasons have been as signed for this rule, hut apparently no one has summoned up the courage to a<k their royal host and hostess. It has been asserted that his Royal Highness has the old-fashioned dislike of seeing knives inadvertently crossed. Small water bottles are used, but the Princess holds to the Hanoverian hab it of never having finger bowls.

C. Sears, of Nova Scotia. Some kinds of fungous posts begin their Wo growth from spores before the buds swell and it is probable, that the spores may be destroyed even before they germinate by the action of the copper salts. But I would suggest that instead of using Bordeaux mix ture, a simple solution of copper sul phate in water be substituted. One pouud of copper sulphate (blue vit riol) to tweuty-five gallons water is probably amply strong, but to insure effective work one pouud to fifteen gallons water may be used. This is much more easily prepared than bor- deaux mixture, since it is only neces sary to weigh out the required amount of copper sulphate and dis solve in the water aud you are ready for work. ‘ It is furthermore much easier to apply, since, being a simple nylution, there is no precipitate, as in Bordeaux mixture, to clog the nozzle and aggra vate the operator. After the leaves appear this solution can no longer bo used with safety on account of its caustic [properties, which injure the foliage when applied suflicicntly strong to be of value as a fungicide. The lime of bordeaux mixture is therefore added to prevent this effect. —American Agriculturist. An Excellent Feed llox.

A remarkable fact is reported by the Journal fur* Goldschmiedekunst, viz., that the colors of precious stones are not permanent in the light. To give a chemical and physical explana tion for this is difficult; for, although chemical reactions in solid bodies have been proved, one would not presume them to occur in the exceedingly hard minerals concerned. A ruby which had been left for two years in a light show window was found to lie con siderably lighter after this time had elapsed than a stone, previously of exactly the same color, which had been kept in the dark. Similar results were observed with emeralds and sap phires. Still more hasty than with these valuable colored gems is the action of light on the less expensive stones. Garnet and topaz differ in that the former becomes dim and dull, while the latter only turns lighter.

The hens, more over, do not like to fly up and alight upon this netting, A squgrg.pan should be placed in one end of this box to keep water in. In this posi tion it can neither be soiled nor spilled. —New England Homestead. Carina for the Broody Turkey. Often large roomy boxes can be utilized very nicely for nesting pur poses, but the handiest and best thing that I ever used is a large sugar barrel securely blocked to prevent rolling, with the inside littered with straw or forest leaves. I used these barrels last spring with the very best of suc cess aud shall try them again this year. Last year every barrel I put out attracted a turkey aud she laid her egg s and hatched her brood thereiu. The barrels serve an excellent pur pose in more ways than one. They are not only cheap and easy to get, but owing to their shape make an excellent protection for the turkey not only from cold winds and rains, but hot days as well. Very often ono finds two, and sometimes even three turkeys, that will insist on the same nest, so that it often becomes quite provoking before they can be broken up so that only one will claim the nest. When one uses barrels for nests and such a thing occurs, he has every thing his own way; ho has but to lean a wide board across the end leaving a few inches at the top. By such an arrangement it is practically impossi ble for a turkey on the outside \ > get in, but the inmate of the barrel has but to push the board over when she wishes to walk out. When si turns the board can be replaced. The barrel next serves an exi Uent purpose when the brood is hate ang. Securely fasten an eight or ten inch board across the lower end so that the little tarkeys cannot sqneeze or , but be snre to leave sufficient sp .ce so that the hen caiyleave or return if she sees lit. With a^ barrel so arv aged the poults are not apt to become either chilled or lost and are very easily caught when it is desired to move them.- C. P. Reynolds, in New Eng land Homestead. » re- T*n». i hen egff, 9 has A ’‘Safety” Jfe*t For tCgg-KatlnK I never find any fault with for cackling over the new-lai but if in connection with it t . _ ac quired the habit of turning to de vour it, I think it time that toi .filling was done to put a stop to 1 r can nibalism, if such it may be called; and as no one of common sense cares to have anything destroyed, or, at least, jnst as good as destroyed—that is, of commercial value—I feel assured that I shall not stand alone in my opinion. Accordingly, I take the liberty of pre senting the nest shown herewith in the illustration, it being trifling in cost and simple of oonstrnction, bit effective for the purpose de keep hens from eating eggs. It consists merely of a > box, a little longer than wi, one end of which are plac" very red—to "good* ’.nder .ogs to raise it higher than the othe.. .he par llmv to Tins is miuute plant face of the tuber. It from ono crop to another by spores upon the Reed crop. If these spores can be destroyed on the seed the now crop of potatoes will bo practically free from disease. This is accom plished most successfully by immers ing the potatoes to lie planted in a solution of corrosive sublimate. This smbstance is a heavy white powder which can bo obtained at any drug store tor about fifteen cents an,ounce. It is deadly poison aud must bo used with great caution. The strength recommended is one part of ;tho sub stance to 1000 parts of water. That is, dissolve two ounces of the subli mate in fifteen gallons of water. This is the strength used by surgeons for disinfecting purposes. It is but mildly injurious to live tissues of both animals aud jdants, but must not be taken into the mouth under any circumstances. If one has a sore or cut on the hand, it will iu most cases not only do no harm but aid in heal ing. A The length of time that the potato seed should be immersed has not been fully determined, but an hour and a half is usually sofflemat to kill tha majority of the spoifes. Place the seed ’ in a loosely wovbn coffee sack. If the potatoes are dirty they should be washed before being treated. The solution corrodes all metal and there fore must be placed in a wooden vessel, sack as a large barrel or a hogshead. Allow the potatoes to soak the re quired leugth of time, then take them out and spread where they will dry quickly. The germinating power of unsprouted potatoes is not injured in the least by this treatment. In some Indiana tests it was found that oven a half hour's treatment is very efficient; keeping the tubes m the solution six hours is unnecessary. If the pota toes have unfortunately sprouted be fore treatment, the length of time they will remain in the solution must bo reduced. Cut the potatoes after they have dried and plant at once in ground which has never grown diseased po tatoes. The cost for treating seed will not exceed fifty cents per acre and the labor and trouble are not suf ficient to be considered serious ob stacles. At the New Jersey station' treatment with sublimate for rot has been found fully satisfactory. This trouble does not appear until about the middle of summer, consequently the best plan is to plant early varie ties that will mature early aud thud escape the disease. Of course u second crop must be planted upon an infested field. A few planters recom- mond heating the seed tuber for a few moments to nearly 100 degrees. Plant upon a naturally well-drained soil aud hill np well around the plants at the last plowing. If the crop has been infested during the summer, rake and burn the vines us soon as possible. Let the potatoes dry out thoroughly in the field, then store them in a cool, dry, airy place, taking care to first re move all the rotten tubers. In a recent bulletin, Professor Ar thur, of the Indiana station, gives the results of soaking scabby seed pota toes in a solution of formalin, varying in strength from one part iu 800 of water to one part in forty parts of water. No injurious effect was no ticed in the germinating quality of the seed and result indicates that this fungicide is a successful one for scab. In addition to the tests made at the station, fonr farmers in different lo calities used the treatment and all re port favorable results. Ono advan tage of formalin over corrosive subli mate is that it is not a poison and consequently there is no danger in using it. Dr. Arthur thinks that the formalin is equal to corrosive subli mate and recommends a solution of one part of formalin to 300 parts of water. This strength solntion is made by dissolving eight ounces of formalin in fifteen gallons of water. Soak the potatoes in this for two hours.— Orange Judd Farmer.
