wondered at tllat advocates for its
aunexationo to the United States
sh.,nld tpissstheir views in Cobgress
and elsewhere. The United States
has, perhaps, greater interest in the
islands, on account Of their geograph-
icsl relations to the country, than
any other nation, aud no country
could present str onger reasons than
this for annexatiOn. The friendly
visit of King Kalakaua will probably
revive the. feeling in favor Of + the
project which was advocated twenty
years ago. Mr, Washbnrne, of Maine,
was one Of IT'S friends and most able
advocates. He then said, after ex-
pressing his disapprobation of the
many schemes for territorial aggranI-
izement: Yet, when case occurs
where it manifestly may be employed
as q means to the noblest ends, and
humanity demands it, and our nation
al and domestic interests will be
served by it, and justice waits upon
it, Ilshall not hesitate to yield it the
best advocacy of my mind, as it will
compel that of my heart. The
question Of annexation is one Of ne-s
cessity, Of time and of Justice"

may be to negotiate for a port in this

Gov. Kellogg and the Legislative

Yesterday the Senate concurred- in
the Legislative appropriation bill, with
some Sill ght amendments. The amount
appsopriated, however, was not al
tered from the sum fixed by the
House, $l58, 600. The amount ap-
tpropriated bv the original bill, which
Governor Kellogg vetoed, was 1885,
600. The amount which will, there
fore, he saved to this State by this
act Of the Governor is $27 200. In
doing this Governor Kellogg ran the
risk If incursing. the tlisl,leaAnre! Ut

who would naturally believe them
selves better qualified to Judge Of the
amount necessary to ldefray the ex-
penses Of their organizations than

D Governor Kellogg's enemies are
ever on the alert to detect errors of
Judgment on his part, and do not
hesitate t" misrepresent his acts in
some cases, and asperse his motives
ia others. They are never fair enough
to give him credit where any Inprej-
uGiced mind would decide it to be
due. IS 4ndEs al '.'I .
The St. Louis Democrat comments,
on the veto of the Governor as fol-
lows:
Governor Kellogg has given an
other proof that he is not rs bad a
min as his e,ie,nies have painted him.
The Legislature having appropriated
$3.50, 600 for its per diem, mileage and
contingent expenses, he vetoes the
bill, saying that the sum is $50, 600
more than is necessary. Moreover,
his veto was sustained and the bill
defeated. Now let us look at this.
The General Assembly of this State

ShOrtening-1n Peach Trees.

Wherever this has not been done
yet, it can be done now, and that with
less regret than when we see the trees
full of blossom buds. Here the crop
will be slim one at best, and there
fore heading back will not be much
loss in the crop for the present year,
while the advantages gained for the
next are of considerable Importance.
A peach grower once told us that to
head the trees in the spring had ten
dency to make the fruit of that sum.
mer rot; whether or not he was cor
rect in his opinion, we have not yet
observed. Another says, do it in the
winter when the weather is very cold.
This latter might not injure the trees
or the succeeding crop, but we are in
clined to think it would not be very
pleasant work. Our faith in the nom
pruning of even peach trees, is grow
ing stronger; that is, if we would
watch and pinch the points of the
ranker growing shoots during the sum-
mer. This we are convinced is the
correct theory in the apple and pear;
and we believe that unripe wood when
fall sets in, and over-luxuriant growth
in summer, are the main subjects for
the pear blight. Pinchiug the tips of
shoots, at once checks
them and causes the wood to ripen be-
fore another can strike out. Some
head back their pear trees severely in
the spring, which causes them to put
forth strong upright shoots again, un-
less the tree bears full crop of fruit,
and as a rule heavy growths are averse
to much bearing. But by pinching
the tips in the summer, they have
tendency to form more blossom buds,
and we all know that after a fruit tree
mas attained a proper size, we want it to
pear well.-Rural World. !

Id Buy More Farms susaiuing
Large or small Hogs.

A correspondent asks whether we
recommend large or small hogs for the
farm. If we we're disposed to make a
recommendation, the mere sue Of II
breed Of hogs would be one Of the
last things we should consider, for the
purpose Of the farmer is, or should be,
to feed hogs for profit, not to see how
large growth he can induce. We
should not send hogs to market weigh.
ing less than 200 to 250 pounds, as
hogs of less weight are not always in
demand at full prices, because not
suitable for manufacture into all kinds
Of product, while hogs ranging from
200 to $50 pounds, with exceptional
weights above this figure, are suitable
for nearly all purposes, and always
meet with a good demand at full rates.
We should in selecting hogs for the
farm, therefore, keep these weights in
mind, as starting point, with desire
to do as much better as possible. If
we found breed of hogs which would
reach these weights with a consumption
of less food per pound than another
breed Of hogs, we should regard it as
preferable; no matter if the other
breed of hogs were much larger. But
if another breed of hogs consuming
less or the same food per pound, would
attain greater weight, we should take
the large hog in preference, and the
heavier he was the better we shouldbe
pleased. In other words, we should
not regard, as the great desiderat,tn.
the number Of pounds a hog could
pull down on the scales when sent
to market; but on the contrary, should
regard as the most profitable, the hog
that represented for each pound Of
weight the least rn.-Live Stock
Journal.

The Vegetable Garden.

Hoe, hoe, hoe, should be the watch
word Of the gardener this month, for
unless the early vegetables are pushed
now, they will never attain satisfac-
tory perfection at maturity. Not only
must the grass and weeds be kept down,
but the soil must be kept loose and
permeable for the air and dew. Am
monia is the greatest of all stimulants
to plant life, and this stimulant reaches
the feeding rootlets of the growing
plant more copiously through the me-
dium of night air, dews and light
misty rains, than in any other way.
1t is easy to see therefore, how impor-
tant it is that the surface soil be kept
in proper mechanical condition to alb
sorb the various fertilizing gases.
And we may also, from this fact, learn
why it is better to stir the surface Of
our garden plot early in the morning
while the dew is on the ground than to
delay our hoeing until the sun has dis
sipated both the dew and its condensed
ammonia.
Melons, squashes, beans, egg-plants
and all over.tender vegetables may yet
be planted, and such as have been
sown too thickly, transplanted. This
operation, if carefully done in cloudy
weather Or in the evening, and the
soil around the plants thoroughly satu-
rated with water, will result satisfac-
torily in nearly all cases, giving as
good, and sometimes better vegetables
than those unmoved. Onion seed for
"setts" should still be sowed, and will
produce better keeping ''setts' than
the seed put in the ground month
ago. Cabbage, cauliAower, lettuce,
eggplant, and even beets and carrots,
should now be set out in permanent
plantations and frequently cultivated.

George S. Park, of Parkville, Mo-,
an experienced horticulturist, in dis
cussing the question of sending apples
to Galveston, gives the following ex-
cellent advice to fruit growers and
shippers: .,
Now word to fruit growers and
shippers. Apples for shipment must
be carefully picked by hand, not bruis
ed handling, assorted'most CAREFUL y and
pressed in barrels after they have gone
through a sweat and kept as cool as
possible, say thirty-fve degrees above
zero.
Shippers must expect to suffer loss
if their fruit is shaken from the trees,
bruised and mixed-good, bad and in
different Such will rot quickly in a
hot climate, and should never be ship
ped. You must send honest packages
or suffer the penalty. Loss always
follows ignorance or carelessness.
Buyers should refuse all apples care
lessly picked and badly handled, and
learn the fruit grower to do his duty if
he does not know it. ........
Too little attention has been given
by growers to long keeping shipping
apples. Those designed for the South
ern market in spring, should be kept
over winter in the cool North, just
above freezing, and where cool air can
come on them so as to prevent sweat
ing Or too much heat, opening at night
when warm.

When I first considered the import
ance Of changing my stock Of hogs,
the question presented itself, what
I should select, as breeders all claimed
their stock was the best. So | con-
cluded to commence on the Magic
large, coarse, white hogs, with few
spots on their bodies But after q
careful trial, / was convinced that this
was not the hog that would suit me,
SO / crossed them with the Poland-Chi-
ma or Butler county hog. This added
some good qualities to the Magic stock,
but did not improve in any respect the
Poland China.
The pigs were strong and grew rap
idly, but did not fatten even. Some
that were bred in the Poland-Ch
blood were fat and ready for market at
ten or twelve months old, and the rest
of the lot had to be kept until nearly
eighteen months old. So with this
result / thought it best to continue my
experiments, so / selected some of the
best Poland-China blood, then added
to it the improved Berkshire, and soon
found that / had gained the point Of
my experience. Ieeemed to increase
the size of the Berkshire, and still left
their superior fattening qualities. Sol
fed this cross long enough to satisfy me
that they are the hog for the farmer who
does not pretend to breed pure strains.
But I have come to the conclusion
after carefully investigating the differ
ent theories of sbreeding-that no
crosses breed as perfect and evenly as
one strain in its purity, so I have d.
rected my undivided attention to the
Berkshire. My breeding stock is i'm.
ported, and / find my pigs are strong
even when young, and remain 50 till
fattened. So, in conclusion, | will just
say the Berkshire is my hog, for
have found from experience that they
lre the most profitable of all breeds

CABBAGE WoRMs.-A correspond
ent of the New York Tribune gives
the following method of killing off the
green cabbage worm, which our read
ers may find sufficiently valuable to
pay for preserving until time for apply
ing another season. Dissolve one tea
spoonful of salpetre in common pail
full of warm (not hot) water, and
sprinkle the cabbages Herewith on the
appearance of the worms. Two or
three applications will suffice for the
season. The water, besides, acts like
a charm in promoting the growth of
the plant.

OATS AND STRAWBERRIES. "A cor
respondent of the Practical Farmer
recommends seeding down oats as a
mulch for strawberries. He sowed the
oats broadcast all over his straw
berry patch about the 18th Of Septem-
Der. Their growth is of course small
at first, and does not interfere with
the strawberries. When it has made
a larger growth it is of course checked
by severe frosts and afterwards killed
by the winter, when it falls down over
the plants, making complete and
sufficient covering till spring, when
the young plants readily push through
it. ...+....
