THE LEGISLATUR
TUESDAY, AUGUST 10.

The House met at 10 A. NJ.
After prayer by the Chaplain, the
minutes of the preceding day were
read and adopted.
Mr.. Cleghorn presented the report
of the Committee on Commerce upon
the bill to regulate the issuing of
patents, recommending its passage,
Report adopted, and bill appointed
to be read third time on Thursday
Mr.. Bishop presented the report
of the Select Committee on street
railways, submitting a substitute
bill with the name of the grantee
left out, to be supplied by the As
sembly. The Austin bill was taken
as basis in the preparation of the
new bill. 1t obliges the grantee to
begin the work within one year and
complete it within three years. The
matter of a steam railway is left out,
and the committee recommend that
Mr.. Dole be permitted to introduce
a separate bill in that regard.
Mr.. Rowell moved the adoption of
the report, and also the previous
question.
The latter was negatived, and
Mr.. Dole said he had not signed
the report for want of opportu-
nifty, but he agreed with it gen.
orally, excepting the second
section. From that he moved the
words, "or that may be hereafter
imposed" be struck out, as it was
sufficient to have the company bound
by the Act giving it the franchise
and the present laws of the Kingdom.
The provision, if passed, might re-
suit in such an Act of great hard
ship, far instance, rs the enactment
of law compelling the use of cables
instead of horses.
Minister Neumann had framed the
Austin bill, and he said the provision
objected to was intended to prevent
the corporation becoming greater
than the creator. There was no
fear in his mine that the
Legislature would ever perpetrate
a great wrong, or outrage, upon the

THE ANTI-CHIhESE BILL.

The bill to compel all merchants
to keep their books in the English or
Hawaiian language was defeated on
its third reading, in yesterday, spite
of the exertions on the part of the
Attorney General, and against the
votes of the Cabinet. No doubt an
attempt will be made to reconsider
the bill to-day, by its promoters.
The whole scheme is q miserable
pampering to the anti-Chinese spirit,
without reason or justice, although
there are some bigots in the Legisla-
ture who are capable of acquiring
knowledge by having it pounded in
with a sledge hammer or pumped in
with force pump, but are never
amenable to reason, who think that
they are urging the bill on principle.
1t is disgrace to the country that
the Government should be doing its
utmost to legislate out of business
and ruin a large and law abiding
portion of the community.

crop of flowers next spring. TO have the
best success with Holland bulbs. they
should be planted early. The time for
planting in this country must of course de-
pend upon the date at which they were i'm
ported and offered for sale by the dealers.
As soon as the bulbs can be procured, they
should 60 into the ground. A safe rule is
to plant the bulbs their own depth below
the surface, and to set them twice their
width apart. Planted early, the bulbs have
ample time to form abundant roots, which
will later be of service in promoting a Wig
ornus growth of foliage, and bloom. Bulbs
are admirable window plants and are easily
managed. Keep the pots at low temper
ature and in the dark, to cause the roots to
form before the leaves begin to develop, a
condition necessary to success. All who
propose to plant Holland bulbs, whether in
the open ground or in pots, etc., for house
blooming, should procure them as early as
they are offered for sale by the dealers, and
plant at once,

We wish particularly to call the attention
of American women to the business of poul-
try raising. Thousands of their sisters
"over the water" pursue it as vocation
through lte-not merely to furnish eggs,
ducks geese and chickens for the family
table and the inevitable feather bed with
feathers, but they go into it as an occupa-
tlon, means OF support, or even as a source

In this country, far more than in Europe,
women in the middle and lower classes, as
we'll of course as those in the higher or
richer classes, depend on the income. or on

French, German or English woman would

American wife and mother is compelled
to turn over various schemes by which she

the sale of small, needed articles, keep the

en- houses, most of which were too expen-
sive for most people. | have used one of
my own make which gives good satisfac-
ton. Select an east or south slope, if con-
venient. Dig basement seven feet deep,
sixteen feet long by twelve feet wide, on
the east side of which make lath pens, four
fl ct one way by two feet the other way,
which Will give you sixteen pens, in which
to set your hens. In basement like this
you can set hens very cary, and in the sum-
mer can hatch to better advantage, as the
temperature is more even at all times. One
window will furnish all the light the hens
will need. If you wish to set more than
sixteen hens you can make double tiers of
nests, one above the other. BY having the
coops four feet on each side it leaves four
foot walk between. The front of the COOP
should be made of lath, in the shape of slid
ing doors. brick up the side walls, and
put in two or three inches of tin chips, and
cover over with dirt or sand tor a floor,
board over the top, and cover with tin chips
and sand, thus making rat proof cellar
and one not liable to freeze. On top of this
build a chicken house of barn boards with
single roof for the roosting purposes. At
zach run fifty feet long, eight feet wide
and four feet high. Cover all over with hay
or straw except on the south side, which is
made of glass. With such run the hens
will not suffer from the cold. and will lay all
winter.
In conclusion, would advise the keeping
of only one breed of fowls. | think the
time is not far of when the breeder who
sticks to one breed will be the one who
will come out ahead, as it is difficult to keep
more than one breed at a time without hay

A BIG WHEAT FARM.

The Milling World has the following re-
garding the great Dalrymple farm.
Mr.. Dalrymple, although he lives in St.
Paul, Minn., confines his farming operations
to Dakota, where in Cass and Trail counties
he has two-thrds interest in $4,000 acres of
as fine wheat land as the sun ever shone
upon. Nine years ago when this land was
bought for from forty cents to SIS an acre
there was not the habitation of man within
250 miles north or south. Now one cannot
in the same distance in those directions lose
sight OF the roots of houses or barns. There
has been almost as great change in the
value of the land as its surroundings, for
the value has increased to 500 and $25 per
acre. For the nine years that Mr.. Dalrym-
pie has operated these lands he has year by
year put more acres under cultivation until
this year 10000 acres were sown to wheat.
The product: as indicated by that so far
threshed, will be about 100000 bushels. Mr..
Dalrymple employs in his farming opera
tons 10000 men. 800 horses and mules. 200
set-binding reapers, and thirty steam
threshers.

1t is our most earnest wish that thousands
OF our country women, who need this exer-
else, this out-ot-door care, and the money to
be gained from it, may be induced to give
the business thorough, persistent and in
teligent trial. Even aside from the profits
the keeping of fine poultry is entered into
by many English ladies, as adding much to
the interest OF country life, and to the at
tractiveness OF country homes; and there
seems to be no good reason why the fashion
should not be adopted in our own rural and
suburban homes for the same reasons.

ample return for the money expended, the
American AgricuItmist says, than for that
which he lays out in Holland bulbe. In au-

is rewarded by magnificent display OF
flowers. The principal bulbs included un-

Bulbs, are Hyacinths, Tulips, Varcissuses
of many kinds, and Crocuses. There are
others, but these are the leading kinds. We
are glad to observe that a new interest is
awakened in these charming flowers, espe-
cially in the species and the many varieties
of the Narcissus. In the spring OF the pres
ent year, flower fashion set strongly in fa-
vor of the Narcissus; a neighbor of the wr-
ter, having planted largely Narcissus bulbs
left over from last falls sale, cut the flowers
and sent them to market. His returns for
the flowers were greater than he could have
received had he sold the bulbs, while these.

PRESERVING VEGETABLE ROOTS

Few persons, except market gardeners
understand the best method OF keeping veg
etables through the winter. 1t is a leading
branch OF the business of these to supply at
all times these vegetables, which as the
winter advances command increasing prices.
They can Afford by the extent of the crops
they raise, to provide suitable buildings, or
rather cellars, to keep these crops, and have
a sufficient supply at all times to meet the
market demand, and realize the high prices
which are usually commanded late in the
winter and early in the spring. But the
small growers OF these vegetables. though
many in number, cannot incur the expense
of providing structures in which to preserve
these roots for their own use, and have,
therefore, to shift the best way they can in
feeding out the roots to their limited herds
of cattle. Heat and moisture are the two
hurttul to vegetable roots in general. Keep
them dry and as near the freezing point as
possible, without positively freezing.
But, as rule, we regard the keeping of
these vegetables buried. or protected, out
ofdoors, to be preferred to any other meth
od. Turnips of all kinds, celery, cabbage,
carrots, etc by being carefully buried, not
very deep yet sufficiently so to protect them
from the rains and consequent freezing, will
be longest preserved. Celery, cabbage, car
rOts, etc, are not in red by what may be
called dry freezing; in fact, we consider Gel
bn -
derstOod, however, that no roots should be
buried in large bodies, because they will of
themselves produce heat, and, as matter
OF course, decay. Better to be placed in
small heaps. or in rows or ridges, covered
with straw or corniodder, with apertures
leading to tie body OF them, stuffed with
straw, which will admit of evaporation and
naturally OF the escape of the heated. or
more properly of the impure air. We have
found, however, by repeated trials that by
covering these bodies of vegetables with
boards, so placed as to shed the water, and
the whole on an inclined surface thus pre-
serving the vegetables in drd condition,
they will be protected against decaying bet
ter than in any other way. We have kept
celery and cabbage to the end OF April in a
good state.
On some farms the cellars underneath
dwellings, which are generally the extent
of the building, are used for this purpose;
but we do not recommend them. From the
warmth of cellars. vegetables will soon de-
cay, and very frequently produce serious i'll
ness as well as causing an offensive odor
1t would do no harm, however, to deposit
there small quantity of some of these veg
etables for immediate use in the early part
of winter; but all else should be placed in
the open grounds. after the manner sug-
gested.- Germantown Telegraph.

The London Economist presents a very
cheerful view as to the prospects of the
bread supplies in Great Britain, claiming
increased acreage in wheat over last year
and that a less supply from abroad will be
required, not less however than was impor-
ted in 1888. but less than an average in re-
cent years. It places the yield from twenty
eight to thirty bushels per acre, and most
of it in good condition.
