Without a new caucus St. John Boyle would be the nominee, and it is believed that when Hunter is out of the way, Boyle will step aside for Yerkes.

Yf several different crops were taken off slternately, as in a sys- tem of rotation, or grown in different parts of the land where «oil and climate prove suitable, the planter would find himself in even a better financial posi- tion than he generally does now. There is scarcely a spot on any estate, whether large or small, in Mexico that is not ca- pable of giving remunerative returns from some plant or another.” In ad- Jition to government lands there are innumerable tracts held throughont the country by private individuals which it is probable could be purchased at comparatively low prices, inasmuch as they can never be utilized by their present owners. And contracts might be made with the government by which immigrants settling on such lands might receive the same exceptional treatment accorded to those settling on government lands. Sir Henry Dering states the yuca is to the peon in the tropical section of the republic what potatoes are to the poor and working people of Ireland. Yuca Is a native of the country and its rise lates back before the conquest by Her. nan Cortes, and it has always formed 8 portion of the food of the ancient and present Mexicans, especially those liv- ing in Vera Cruz, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Tabasco and Yucatan, The returns of yuca cultivation are immense; the yield of an a ains more nutritive mat ter than six times the same area under wheat. The writer planted last Jara ary in Atlan, Pueblo, two rows 150 feet long. was told by an old cultivator that there was enough food in that plot to feed more than 100 people fe months. The Toltecs and Aztecs knew how to cultivate the pineapple,and when the Spaniards penal uered Mexico they found the fruft in the markets of the towns on their way fro Cruz to the great Tenochtitlan, From time im- memorial the p aas b eul- eapple tivated in Aiatlan, a town two leagues south of Cordoba, from where the an- cient Mexicans used to get their main supply.

A man having a ten-acre patch ought to have an annual income of $5,000 to $7,009. Though for years canaigre has been used by the Mexicans, both for medical and tanning purposes, it has but recently attracted the attention of the outside commercial world as a valuable source of tannic acid, The result of investigations has been to create a demand for canaigre {n the tanning business of European countries and mare recently in the leather-making centers of the United States. The only snpply now to be ob- tained of this plant is from the wild growth along the rivers and valleys of western Texas, New Mexico and this republic, and Sir H.
