The Aduertise,. Express still continues to
harp on the theme of Hawaiian versus foreign
er, and tries in vain to prove that the policy
adopted by His Majesty in the appointment of
the new Ministry, is unjust, and one that
will prove an nnwise course to all it's promo
tors 1t cannot be denied, in face of the
facts that have come to light in connection
with the Bush Moreno Ministry, that "a change
was absolutely necessary, nor can it be as
serted with a particle Of truth, that suc,
change mnst still carry with it the bane of
continued feeling of unsettlenlent in our pub
lie affairs. Tho gentlemen that form the
present Ministry have, no doubt. the interests
of the people at heart, equally as much as
any Hawaiian, and we feel justified in as
serting that those interests will be studied,
and that ultimately, the King, his people,
and the country will be benefited by the
late indicious action. Notwithstanding the
action taken by the Express in the matter,
they feel compelled to testify, To ",he essen
tial prerequisites Of personal character and
ability Of the appointecs." We hope that in
continuing to discuss the "pubic action Of

K1LAuEA PLANTATION.

KAUAI, Sept. 2s, 1880.
EpfroR SATURDAY Press In your Issue
Of the lth instant there is an interesting COM
munication with regard to analysis Of the soil
Gt Onomea. -t
The publication Of Prof. Harbishaw's analy-
sis would believe be Of general interest, and
trust we may be favored with it.
As an analyst of considerable sugar cx
pcrience, permit me to recommend to planters
great caution io the application of potash to
their soils.
II is to the low percentage OF potash and
other salts that attribute the remarkably low
percentage OF molasscs in the product of
Hawaiian cane juice. small introduction Of
potash into the soil may stimulate growth,
but the less potash we have in our juice the
better will be the yield OF sugar aud the more
easily will ii be made.

Better Hay and Pastures.

ANY one passing through agricultural districts,
say in June when the heritage has nearly reach
ed its full growth, must notice how much land is
only half or quarter utilized by allowing the I'M
checked growth of all sorts of weeds. A large
portion of this land is pastured, and the way the
poor cattle have to seek out the little grass from
among the overwhelming weed is a source of ac-
tual sadness. These pasture fields, too, are al
lowed to go ON producing noXious weeds for n Sc
ries of years without effort being. made to get
rid of them by the surest mode known to the OBJ
serving farmeT-freguent cultivation. Then,
again, We see the same proportion of weeds in
many fields from which the cattle hay is to he
cut and this is done year after year just though
cows and other cattle would eat the weeds any
more readily dry than green.
Ii is as apparent the sun Mt MONDAY that To
whatever extent weeds are allowed to grow just
to that extent is the land wasted-in fact worse
than wasted. Now that this can he avoided is
clear; and that it can be profitably avoided in
most cases scarcely admits of doubt. And
what is true of the pasture fields, is the same
where the heritage is left 10 become hay. The
good clean field is the exception. Not only the
ox-eye daisy, but sorre and plantain, and astors
of various kinds. which cattle care no more for
when dry than when green, constitute the bulk OF
what is TO be hay; and il is tolerably good stuff
which has but one-fourth of eNtraneous matter.
We have before suggested that our agricultu-
raj societies, which give 50 many and high pre-
miums for fast trotting horses, might at least
share a little for the encouragement of the food
which the noble animal is to eat Premiums for
we'll grown hay, clean hay, hay from improved
grasses and well managed hay fields, would sure
iy be objects worthy of the attention of even a
Estate Agricultural Society,"" and think it
will become ifthe press will unite in commend
ing the subject to general attention.
Surely there is no greater eye-sore than n field
looking as if if might produce thirty bushels Of
wheat, seventy-fve Of corn, or frUsi two 10 three
tons of frst-class hay to the acre, allowed to be
covered with masses of noxious weed, which can
and should he destroyed. A merchant frum the
city who may pass through a rural section, and
seeing these myriad of ox-eyed daisy flowers,
will almost invariably ask why they are there,
and if they cannot be exterminated and good hay
and grain raised instead.-GerRaRtorn Telegraph.

Uncle Zeke's Joke.

Some years ago, there lived in one of our large
cities an eccentric character known as Uncle
Zeke, wha never lost chance of perpetrating a
practical joke. Any place occasion suited
him, provided he could make his point. One
fine Sunday, he repaired to a fashionable church
some time after the services had commenced
and as there was not a seat vacant, he took q
prominent position in the centre aisle, where he
stood bolt upright, with his stOyepiPe hat clap
ped tightly ON his head. OF course he attracted
much attention, and very soon the sexton, a
man for whom Uncle Zeke had an especial dis
like, crept up TO him and whispered that he
must take off his hat.
That's agin my principles" said Uncle Zeke
81 can't help that said the sexton, impa-
: siently, "yOu must take il Off"
But won't" said Zeke.
Then i shall take il off for yOu,' said the
xton, who was becoming very nervous on ac
Count of the attention this whispered colloquy
had oecasioned.
''All right" said Uncle Zeke, "you can take
il off. That amt agin my principles
The sexton thereupOn took hold of the rim Of
Uncle Zeke's hat, and dexterOusly lifted it of
his head. But what was the respectable sexton,
horror, when about two quarts of hickory nut,
fell out of the hat, and went gathering and roll
ing over the church floor.
That was Uncle Zeke's joke.

How to Swim.

The editor of the London Traih, after observ-
ing that probably not one in twenty of the per-
who indulge in boating on holiday can
swim, proceeds to tell his readers how to acquire
this accomplishment. ''Nothing,' he says, sis
more easy. When the air is ont of a body its
owner sinks; when the air is in the body its
owner floats. Let any one slowly draw in his
breath as he draws hack his legs and pushes for
ward his arms, retain il while he is preparing
for the stroke which is to propel him, and slow
ly allow il to go through his lips rs his arms are
passed back from before his head to his sides
and his legs are stretched out. The action Of
the stroke should not be quite horizontal, hut
should be made on a slight incline downward.
The real reason why people take weeks to learn
how to swim is because swimming professors do
not know or do not choose to teach the philos-
ophy Of breathing 80 rs to render the body buoy

Rec Notes for June

The system of management for the present
month must be determined by the intentions of
the bee-keeper. If box honey is desired, the box
es should be properly arranged upon the hives.
If the Extractor is to he used extra combs should
be supplied for this purpose. Ifincrease ofswarms
is the object rather than surplus honey, prepara-
tions for additional swarms should be made.
In many locations, this is the month when nat
ural swarms will issue most freely. In such sec
tons, swarms may be made artifcially with most
profit. There are many who allow swarIns to is
sue naturally, but when unrestricted as TO num-
Der, this is never desirable. Those who permit
il should remember that il belongs to the benight
ed days of box hives and birthstone pits II
would hardly be possible for us to give the diff
ferent methods of the artificial increase in the
limits of these Notes. They are treated upon at
length in every practical work the subject,
and no progressive bee-keeper can afford TO do
without at least one such good work.
GLOW much increase is desirablei" This ques-
ton is often asked. In answer, would say
that probably most inexperienced bee-keepers
will reach the greatest success by placing boxes
upon the hives, as soon rs the bees will occupy
them, and allowing one swarm to issue from such,
rs the season induces them to swarm, but never
allow more than one. In this way reasonable
amount of increase may he secured. besides prob
ably some surplus honey if the season he tavOra-

bees to SWARM without restraint would study the
subject and hat they are losing, they would
appreciate the value of this motto. 1t should he
borne in mind, that when two or three swarms
are allowed to issue, the old colony is without "a

RensOnnbIr Advice for the Exfermi nnfion of
These Household Pests.
This is the season when the moth miller begins
to look for place To lay her eggs. The chrys-
ais rolled mp in its "woOly' house, made by the
moth worm last summer, now comes forth with
wings. and is called the moth miller. This mill
er immediately seeks mate, and after flying
about for a few days will crawl under the edges
of the carpet on the floor or through crack
in the door of the wardrobe, where the swallow
tail coat hangs or into the closet where the fnrs
are put away, or into the corner among the wool
rags. She is not particular, provided the place
is dark and secluded and not likely to be distur-
bed. She now begins to lay her eggs, attaching
them here and there to the iibrrs of the wood
where the worm as he comes forth from the egg
can find good feeding ground. This worm, in
turn, shears thenap very close as he makes his
road along the cloth, feeding and growing on the
oil or dirt which he finds, and afterwards using
the fibre to roll up another house, inside of which
he changes into chrysalis to hibernate until
another season. The destruction caused by
these little pests can only be counted by millions
yearly, and are the plague of every housekeeper.
