ABOUT HIRED HELP.

Hire only good help, for your profits
viii depend largely on the kind of help
you employ. Do not hire too many
hands, and ON no consideration hire
those who are in the habit of telling
yarns, ETC., for, besides be.lg a great
nuisance on the farm they are very un-
profitable. When you hire a man tell
him plainly you hire men TO work and
not to spend their time in idleness and
talking. Work with your hands, for it
n IN almost undeniable fact that the av-
ersge run of farm hands will not do a
half days work If easy with them or if
left alone. Don't desire the name that
"hc Is . good man to work for" but
rather that ''he is hard man to work
for, but good pay" l mean by this that
you require every man TO do a reasona-
bic days work, which laboring men now
call hard

SWEET CORN FOR FODDER.

A trial Of several varieties of sweet
corn for fodder for mich cows the past
season has resulted very successfully.
Many good farmers have considered the
sweet corn fodder better than that from
field corn. The large quantity of sugar
contained in sweet corn makes it high
~ nutritious food, sugar being rs much
. nutriment rs starch indeed, il is very
strongly believed by many psychologists
that the starch of food is changed in a
part TO sugar during digestion and be-
fore assimilation. But it will be found
by practice that the best Of fodder is
that which is grown SO widely apart
that the juices Of the stalks are matured
and the ears are considerably developed
before the crop is cut. Small, early va
rieties, planted in May and afterwards
nay be gathered in July and August
cd the medium late varieties, such as
" Triumph, will come in in August
aid September; while the late Ever
green will last until frost.

LATE LETTUCE.

The best plan We have ever known
for preserving lettuce late, is to trans
plant twice, once from the seed bed,
prickink the plants out four inches
apart, aud then transplanting in the open
ground 6xl2 inches apart ; as the rows
begin to iii cut out one-half Of the
plants, and the balance will form nice

Controlling Vicious Horses.

A new and very simple method of
training vicious horses was exhibited in
West Philadelphia recently, and the
manner in which some of the widest
horses were subdued was astonishing.
The first trial was that of kicking, or
"bucking" mare, which her owner said
had allowed no rider on her back for
period of at least five years. She became
tame and gentle in about as many min
utes, and allowed herself to be ridden
about without sign of her former wild
ness. The means by which the result
was accomplished consisted of piece
of light rope, which was passed around
the front jaw of the mare, just above
the upper teeth, crossed in her mouth
and thence secured, back of her neck.
1t was claimed that no horse will kick
or jump when thus secured, and that
"bucking" horse, after receiving the
treatmenta few times, will abandon his
vicious way forever. A very simple
method was also shown by which a
kicking horse could be shod. 1t consist
ed in connecting the animals head and
tail by means of rope fastened to the
tail and then to the bit, and drawn
tightly enough to incline the horses
head to one side.-This, it is claimed,
makes it absolutely impossible for the
horse to kick on the side of the rope.
At the same exhibition, a horse, which
for many years h ad to be bound on the
ground to be shod, suffered the black
smith to operate on him without at
tempting to kick while secured in the
manner described

The Use Of Kerosene.

We are again called upon to indite a
paragraph upon the proper use of kero-
sene or coal oil about the fowl-house
premises. This Is valuable article In
its way, when judiclously handled and
applied sensibly to the cleansing of nest
boxes, the roosts of fowls, and for the
removal of scurvy upon the legs of
these birds.
But kerosene is powerfully pungent
substance, and should always be used
with care. For washing the fowl roosts
occasionally, nothing is so certain to
keep the perches free from lice. For the
bottom and sides of box-nests, used
either for your layers or sitters, there is
no article so good or so sure to disperse
vermin and keep IL away from those
spots frequented by the hens.
But kerosene should be applied be-
meath the nests, upon the woodwork
only. 1t is to strong and penetrating to
be placed where 1t will come in direct
contact with the eggs that are being set
on, or to touch the bodies of the fowls
And where it is carelessly or too pro-
fusely scattered-or so that the hen sits
on 1t or the eggs may be touched with this
liquid-it does more harm than good,
often permeating the shells and destroy
ing the embryo chicks, as we have
known the instances to occur.
We therefore suggest caution in the
use of this article,as we have done before
on repeated occasions. We know of no
agent more beneficial, when rightly
used, than this is. But if it be not
properly applied to the purposes we
have mentioned, it had far better be
dispensed with altogether. If the eggs
are smeared with it at any time-when
first laid, or while being set on by hens
their vitality is as surely destroyed as
they would be if punctured or crushed
in the shells.-POuLtry World.

\ laughabIe incident has just occurred which
aptly illustrates the terrors OF intemperance. A
farmer threw into his yard a quantity of rice
which had unfortunately been soaked in whiskey.
Chickens and hens and geese fastened to partake
of the unusual repast. One old turkey especial
ly seemed to relish the meal, and actually gorged
himself. The next day the entire population of
the hennery was in a state of beastly intoxica-
ton. The geese quacked and the chickens cackled
as though they were in a frenzy of delight, but
the turkey, the patriot Of the barnyard, was ap-
parently stiff and dead. The farmer plucked the
bird of every feather and laid him on the snow.
Judge of his surprise when a few hours after
ward he visited the rookery and saw that identi-
cal turkey on the roost, s~hivering with cold, and
so hoarse that he could hardly make a sound.
He had not died at all, but had fallen into that
comatose state winch some men will recognize as
n part of their own experience. The farmer
Immediately carried the bird to the kitchen fire,
and after his feathers reappeared he tied a blue
ribbon around his neck.

Pioneers of 1849-5O.

To the Editor of The Pacific Commercial -Hdrertiser:
SIR Some time since I read a notice (date could
be given If wished) that in a short time from that o
meeting would be held Of the 1849 residents-or the
old residents.-and your journal for one, if 1 mis-
take not, advocated the idea strongly. Since then
nothing has been heard, said or done in the matter.
Why IS this thuslyI in the words of the immortal A.
WARRIOR any other man.
The reason | call attention to this Is, that | for one
strongly advocate the project. and l know that there
are a plenty here who approve the idea very much.
Although we have about every society here that can
be thought of, still this one is wanting.
Why does not the editor Of the ADVERTISER as for
one who knows, make up q list Of those now living
who came here in the early days, or where they are
now, and if there is a chance, let US get it up, the
Pioneers Society, for L really believe that it would
be liked here. 1t need not be q society to do won
derful things in the way Of reform, and such like,
but merely be q bond among themselves.
On why not extend the idea TO the 1850 people1
1 think the first idea was those of 1845, but that
would only find a few; but 1850-you would certain
~ find twenty or twenty-five. In these dull times
anything to start an idea to discuss.
Yours, ONE OF THE 1906.

a hundred million or so OF his best warriors to

Before the treaty took effect in Hawaii, business
was in a depressed condition. After the treaty was
ratified a new impulse was given to industry.
From q listless, responding people the inhabitants
became an eager, industrious, speculative commu-
nifty, bent on two objects-to increase production by
cultivation, to increase population by immigration.
1t is hard to set a limit TO the results that may be
obtained. Hawaii, with an area of $40 square
miles and q population of 10000 people. produces
exports Of about the value of S2,0O0.O 900. Mauri-
titus, with an area of &c square miles and q popula-
ton of about 300. 000, produces exports to the value
of about S15, 000, 900. Surely there is plenty of
room for Hawaii advancing to q prosperity many
times greater than it at present enjoys.
There can be no doubt that the Reciprocity Treaty
made the Hawaiian Islands tributary in a new sense
to San Francisco. The advantages at present, how
ever, are confined to a small number here. There is
exemption from duties on a line of goods exported
to Honolulu. But the advantage is limited, because
the sixty thousand people, the larger part of whom
are natives, with few wants, are not large consum-
ers. The ability to buy largely is in the hands Of
the foreign population. On the other hand, the one
city of San Francisco can take at all times more
sugar than the entire kingdom can produce.
