Mid dIcbroo Island.

There il NO doubt that the China Mail Com
Iany design making 4 coal depot ut the above
named Island, where tie schooner Milton BddQer
and the United States steamer LqckGIranna have
gone. 81 far as the LarbOr j. concerned. there
can Dc no doubt of it, availability for the vur-
IOse. But there are other things which should
be taken into consideration in selecting II depot
for large steamers. There ARE Of courSc NO wharf
facilities for landing and taking oil cUal, and it
can only H. done 10y the slow mode of lighters or
by constructing one Or more wlarycS. This is
practicable, but it will only be ut great expense.
for, besides Il wharf, there must be erected Va
riOus buildings for the u>c of agent and laborcrs.
BESIDES this the Island is low, only 81 or 40
feet high, with strong currents generally pre-
yailing around it, which make it unsafe to ap-
prDach. and almost impossible To- enter its harbOr
at night, while it can seldom De seen over six
miles on III a clear day.
But the most important objection is its loca-
ton, directly in the centre where the cyclones of
the Pacific eliminate. These cyclones, which
prevail almost every winter, mostly in December
and january, culminate between the ATTITUDES of
~ and 90 north, and between lungitudcs
loo : east and 100 west. Ii is only within
these limits that the terrific hurricanes of the
Central Pacific are encountered. Generally south
of27 vessels are comparatively safe ut all sea-
sons. The proposed depot lies in HE most dan
gcrouS position Mat couH be SeEecicd, and the
Company ought not to assume such risks as it
will in locating a depot there.
Now contrast the advantages of the port Of
Honolulu. II lies in the safest track across the
Pacific that is known. 1t has ample wharyes,
fOundries, workshops and ship-yards to meet
any emergency that may arise, even to making a
steamship when ordered. Middlcbrook Island is
a barren sand spit with no vegetation, trade or
population; while here abundance of water, fruit,
travel and trade invite the steamers to touch.
There can be no comparison between the two
places, while the risks assumed in selecting Mid
dlebrook Island a a depot are immensely great.
The Company may go ON perhaps in its plans till
some serious accident conTels it to realize the
fact, and To abandon the wild chimcra.

Az OLD Resident GoSE-On Friday last William
Livingston, an old resident, u colored man, died in
this city 1T the advanced age of eighty-four. He
was an African by birth but a British subject. having
been horn in Sierra Leone in the year 1873. He
first came 10 these Islands in lS0s, in the British
East India COmpany's ship HaieriOO, on board Of
which Mr.. George feliy, for many years the agent of
the IlulsOn's Bay Company, was a midshipman.
Livingston did not remain here at that time, but
continued 20 follow the sea. He came here to remain
in the PaTtsian, in 1924. from Boston, and was
much respected for his qualities Of honesty and in
dus;ry. He was a mason by trade. and many Of the
oil stone and adobe buildings about town were
erected by him, including the Stone Church Of Ka-
waiahao. We have heard him remark that when he
first visited Honolulu there was not n house or tree
where the city now stands. excepting along the beach
and the Nuulnu stream. What a change

Now ammonia is a compound of two of the
above elements-nitrogen and hydrogcn,-an
guano contains about 81 per cent of its salts
Lime disengages ammonia, in compost heaps,
and devices have been used to fix and retain it,
Weak solutions of copperas (sulphate of iron)
or gypsum (sulphate of lime) sprnkled over the
heaps, will effect this object; but Prof. Emmons
says Towering the dry manure in the soil an
swers the same purpose" After mixing the
stable manure, litter, &c, and the lime, as DIR.
Powell does, have seen it elsewhere suggested,
to iuterpose at certain distances, in the heap
thin layer of any kind of soil; and in addition
to thus top-dressiog the heap, to cover it, and
protect it from the rains, as the sulphate of am
monia, thus formed is quite soluble.
Carbonic acid is composed of the other two
ingredients, in the above table-oxygen and
carbon. The lime absorts this acid and fixes
and retains it. 1t is not improper to add that
guano, also contains something over 26 per cent
Of lime BY composing with lime, we thus see
that we get at least so per cent of the virtues Of
guano, besides the very large amount of vege-
table matter decomposed and ready for use.

LIME AS A FERTILIZER


Mr.. Editor The enclosed letter, from DIR.
Powell, on the use of lime as fertilizer, al
though not intended for publication, contains
information of SO much practical value, that l
hope you will give it place in the columns of
your paper, and that other Editors will follow
your example. | have no experience in 'com-
posing" but desire to add one or two sugges-
tlons derived from the recent perusal of PAM
phlet, on the agriculture of North Carolina"
written by the late State Geologist, Prof En-
mons, aud published in 1860, which, think,
the present Legislature would do we'll to repub
lish and scatter broadcast over the State.
1t is we'll known fact that compost heaps,
by the time they have properly fermented or
rotted, are reduced to onehalf their original
bulk. This has usually taken place at the end
of some 10 or II weeks and is owing to the es-
cape of the gasses and water, which may be
often seen and smelt, during the process of de-
composition. These gases are the most valuable
fertilizers, and should by all means be fixed and
retained in the heap Among others that es-
cape, | will eGumerate carbonic acid and .he
salts of ammonia. The following table will
show the organic elements contained in 1000
pounds each, of the agricultural and other pro.
ducts enumerated, and serve to illustrate the
importance of paying the greatest attention to
the chemical changes produced, in the compost
heaps:

CATAWBA STATION, N. c., Jan. IA.

Hon. j. G. RAMSAY, Dear Sir Our bus
iness copartner, MIR Sheriff., requests me to an
swer your inquiries in relation to the best mode
of using lime as fertilizer From what ex-
perience I have from its use for some ten years,
would say that the most economical mode is
in the way of compost heaps, made by mixing,
as intimately possible-say one bushel of lime
to good four horse load of halfrotten manure
from the farm-yard stable, leafs, litter, or in
fact, any vegetable matter. [ am now cleaning
up my farm yard, and putting up the gleanings
in pens in this way, to be put in corn drills in
March. [ am also using lime top dressing
for wheat, when there is vegetable mold or
grass-when L am late following and there is,
consequently, large amount of grass on the
ground unrotted at the time of seeding. am
lining with 90 or 25 bushels to the acre; which
amount l thuk is good for few years; as the
quantity of lime is beneficial only in proportion
to the amount of vegetable matter upon which
to act, although surplus does no immediate
harm and, in time, all comes into action.
Last fall [ visited the country above Balti
more with view of ascertaining the best mode
of using lime, and there found the farmers using
about so bushels to the acre, sowing it broad
cast on their fallow fields, before breaking up
the land. This they do about every seventh
year, before sowing wheat; adding all the com
post manure they can make. They are thus
raising from 80 to 40 bushels of wheat to the
acre. For root crops, such as potatoes, turni ps,
beets, wortzel, carrots, &c, they compost alto
gether.
Lime costs As cents per bushel at the great
"Texas Lime Klns" above Baltimore, and corn
is worth 80 cents and wheat So 90 per bushel.
Here we sell it at 25 cents at the kiln, and corn
is worth 81 90 and wheat S300-so if the
farmers Of Maryland and Pennsylvania can make
it pay there, We certainly can here. l have for
years looked upon it as our only means of i'm
proving our lands, and have been at great e1-
pense so far, to manufacture it at price that
will make it available to our farmers generally;
and am happy to find so many of our prominent
men, as yourself, taking an interest in it We
are now enlarging our means of manufacturing,
and will soon be able to turn out larger
amount, though not adequate to the demand -
We also purpose getting up "Circular on the
use of Lime as Fertilizer" which we will send
you as soon as ready. Yours very truly,

AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY.

The Agent of the American Bible Society: Rev.
Mr. Hardie, Of Raleigh requests to give pub
licity to the following communication from the
Secretaries of the Institution he represents. 1t
may help TO undeceive some who have been du-
ped.
The man who would thrust his impostions
under cover of religious institution deserves to
be exposed. The people especially in these times
deserve to be protected.
Let young men understand that five hundred
dollar gold watch cannot be afforded for dollar
Agencies that pay two hundred dollars month
do not go begging. Gift Enterprise adver-
tisements, &C., that call for "a postage stamp in
