The storm at HanaIei, Kauai.

A very heavy storm passed over all the
island of Kauai. The bridges at Waimea,
Wailua and Hanalei were all carried away
by fresheta. The freshet at Hanalei was
the highest ever known by any Of the resi-
dents, being four inches higher than the
freshst in 1877. The Hanalei bridge would
probably have stood If the central pier had
been properly constructed, but having been
built on the sand of the river bed, it was
undermined at one end and settled about
two feet or more, leaving no support for the
bridge, which consequently tumbled to
pieces and was swept away, as it was only
held on the piers by it's own weight. All
the small bridges between Princeville and
Waiolo have been destroyed, making COM
munication difficult except for people on
foot. Some of the rice planters lost rice,
pigs and considerable lumber. Much dam
age was done to the cane.

Mr.. Kaulukou, the popular Sheriff of
Hawaii, during the last week has been max
ing progress, with his assistants, in his
capacity of Assessor, through the district,
and has won golden opinions on all sides by
his arbanity and gentlemanly department..
The Emma Claudina rode ont the storm,
held by single anchor, off Papaikou. 1t
was an anxious night for captain and crew,
for if the chain had parted or the anchor
dragged, in very few minutes she would
have been dashed on the rocks, with the loss
of all on board. Many times during the
night the sea made clean breach over her,
but she is q staunch vessel, and came out Of
the ordeal unframed.

An Insane Portuguese Drowned.

A Portuguese named Jose Gonsalves was
committed at Hawaiian, Kappa, Kauai, last
week to the Insane Asylum at Honolulu.
He was taken on board the steamer Iwalani
at Nawiliwih harbor last Saturday morning
in irons, and placed in one of the rooms of
the steamer. During that same evening
Purser Webster, seeing that the handcu ifs
were very tight, unloosened the one on the
right hand and tied him by ring on deck to
the one on the left hand. About half-past 10
o'clock he was sitting on a chest between
decks on the starboard side, the engineer,
quartermaster and another watching along
side of him. By some way unacceunted for
he got his hand free and jumped through y
port into the sea. The engineer caught
hold of his pants, but he slipped away from
him. boat was manned with the second
officer in charge. The man was seen on the
starboard side, and the officer tried to get
hold of him first with his hands and then
with an oar, but failed. He called for a.
boat hook, but by the time it was handed to
him the man had disappeared. The vessel
was as anchor at the time in Nawiliwili
harbor, and there was veyr heavy swell.

Dest ructiOn of Trees and Shrubs at
Grove Ranch. Mani.


One of the best known and by long odds
Rose Ranch, Maui, the old home of the
Makee family. The late Captain Makee
spent large fortune in planting trees,
shrubs and flowers, and laying out the pic
tureSque grounds to the best advantage. It
was charming spot-a veritable garden of
beauty and delight. Well sheltered from
the prevailing winds, it passed undisturbed
through every change Of weather until the
late storm, when it swept with a
bosom of obstruction. Following is the
report of thO occurrence, undar date July
30th
'Last Sunday night, the 26th instant, we
experienced cyclone here, commencing
at $50 p. m. and lasting about twenty
hours. There are about ten thousand trees
destroyed, very many of which carried down
fences with them.
''The cedars ON Mausoleum Hill are
nearly all down, or at least on an angle of
20 degrees All Of the latter, however, and
some of the former, we will be able to
straighten into place again.
" Prospect Hill Is q perfect network of
fallen trees. The flower garden was fat
tened out as if an iron roller had gone over
it-trees, shrubs and flowers all alike
1t may be added that there were Austria
liam gums and wattles On Prospect Hill
from 100 to $50 feet high. These trees were
the resort of focks of peafowl, many Of
which will probably have been destroyed
by the violence of the storm. There will be,
we are certain, only feeling of general re-
greet that the storm should have injured this
charming hOme-place of one Of our best
known and most respected families.

large amount of fotsam, in the shape of

Iessness in the Hilo Post Office, and in
stances a case in which great inconvenience
and loss might have occurred to a we'll
known resident Of Hilo through failure, by
the Postmaster, to notify him of a regis
tered letter which had arrived to his ad-
dress by the Kinau on Thursday of last
week. This letter contained several thou
sand dollars and required to be answered
by the return mail by registered letter also.
Through the courtesy of the Postmaster
clerk verbal notice was carried to the per-
son to whom the letter was addressed, and
he procured it in time to reply, as the
Einau was belated and the mail did not
close till an hour and quarter after the
regular time On being asked why writ
ten notice had not been placed in his locked
box at the Post Office, he was told that they
did not have any time to do it. Our cor
respondent adds: ''We have known of one or
two other instances lately-and probably
there are more we have not heard of-where
letters have gone wrong from the Hilo
Office, in one case causing probably need
less expense to the party sending the letter. -

Keep Your Seed Corn Dry:

Our readers will not forget the great losses
all over the country, last spring, from the
failure of seed corn to come up. To guard
against the same misfortune next spring,
read the following from a writer in The
Indiana Farmer, and heed its hint:
Lat year my seed corn was damaged by
the extreme cold after it was dried My seed
corn was perfectly dry and all right through
the fiji st extreme cold spell in January, but the
thaw out in the latter part of January made
1t damp, and before the moisture had time
TO evaporate the second extreme cold spell.
In Fe lu,ry, come ON 1t and killed the
germ, and it could not be detected
by the appearance of the germ,
till we camo to plant 1t. A great

seed corn and put 1t In boxes whore the

Another farmer says: after blowing,
the soil is worked over with the Acme har-
row, and is thoroughly broken up; the fur
rows are levoled, the whole soil to the depth
of four inches at least is disturbed as though
. series of small propeller screws passed
through it; it is thoroughly mingled; the
upper portion, which has been exposed to
the air, is turned under and buried, and the
whole soil IS loosened up, broken and made
mellow. This is the only implement, SO far
as I know, that does this necessary work,
ind with this the best preparation for crops
is easily possible"
The depth of the teeth of this tool can be reg
uatcd at will, which makes it first-class for
working in manure. The teeth are set in at
such an inclination that after sod has been
plowed up they cut 1t to pieces and leave it,
instead of dragging it. Crozier says that
man cannot harrow more than four to five
acres day and do it thoroughly.
John I. Campbell, an Indiana man, has
patented revolving cultivator. 1t is in
tended to loosen the soil, cultivate small
plants and cover grain.
There are eight arms or blades that re-
volve as they move forward.

vast opening lies ready for enterpriSing
men In growing fruit in the south. Peaches
grow with surprising rapidity, and the fruit
is of the finest quality. A Mr.. John II.
Parnell, brother of the famous Irish leader,
Charles s. Parnell, has peach plantation In
Georgia of 10000 trees, from which he has
shipped in one year 81, 600 worth of fruit.
His markets are New York, Philadelphia
and Cincinnati. His earliest shipment to
New York the past season was on May 16
and the latest on August 10. BellHower, gol-

other varieties of apples succeed well; tho
Limbertwig keeps one, and even two years,

tive seedlings furnish an assortment which, If
known in the markets, would become very
popular. OF these, the Buff grows to an
immense size and is fine fall and early
winter fruit; the Howard, Bachelor, Winter
Sweet Cullasaga-the original tree of which
is still living and bearing at the age of
seventy years-and many others are of ex-
cellent quality, and, being red in color, are

4 Poultry Farm.

There is loultry farm of 5000 Plymouth
Rocks Mt Lancaster, Mass. Mr. Hawkins, its
owner, calculates to have about 5000 fowls
every fall, and carries over $500 laying hens
through tho winter. His farm contains
twenty Ave acres, and his poultry buildings
occupy an acre and half These comprise
six or seven sheds 200 feet in length. Each
shed is divided into apartments of twelve by
twenty feet, and about twenty-five hens are
kept in each division A yard is made in
front of each apartment. Mr.. H. be-
leves that if confined poultry have their
wants attended to they will do as well as
If allowed free range. He bases this belief
upon several actual tests In Matching time
he sets 200 hens on one day, and puts 500
eggs in an incubator which is due to hatch
on the same day, the chickens from which
will be distributed among the 200 hens. His
sales of fowl and eggs for Matching at fancy
prices are large, about 80 per cent. being
profit. He also has a standing order for
sixty to ninety dozen of eggs daily, for which
he gets the highest market price. Mr. Haw-
kins began, at the age of 81, with 100 hens,
and by careful management and economy his
business has enlarged so that, at the age of
30, he has a very handsome income The
poultry manure is quite an item; he sold last
year 500 barrels, at $3.50 per barrel

Some Farm Implements.

The illustration shows one of the best Of
the inventions for the farmers use. 1t
Is an Acme harrow. 1t both pulverizes
and levels the soil A good workman
does not merely smooth over the top of the
ground with his harrow, breaking only the
surface clods. He sets the harrow teeth
well down into the ground and breaks the
clods and Jumps all the way to the bottom Of
the furrow. An intelligent farmer writes Of
the Acme: at is not only harrow, but
under certain conditions of the soil it is to
all intcnts and purposes a gang Of small
plows. In a soft or light soil you can pillow
the ground just as thoroughly for six feet
wide as you can do it with the ordinary
plow eight inches"

Ventilation for Stock Barn.


In a barn 50x90 feet, to be filled with sheep
and COWS, three ventilators are ample; two
would do very well, and probably be plenty
If made eighteen inches square. They
may pass up through the mows by the side
of post, so as to be out of the way, and
when they reach the roof they may be
carried to the ridge, between two rafters
on the under side Of the roof boards, and
should then go up through the ridge and a
couple of feet more or less, above, and be
surmounted by some sort of a hood to keep
water out. The lower end should have a slide
or door, so that it may be opened more or less
at pleasure. In our new barn the cap part
of the ventilators coming up through the
roof are of galvanized iron.
When in the right place for such use the
ventilating trunks may be made large
enough and be used as chutes down which
hay or straw can be thrown. In such case
there should be doors at convenient points
along the sides, which should always be closed
except when something is being thrown
down. WEen made large enough for this
use, two void be ample to ventilate base
ment 50xlUO feet.

The Syrian bees have some good qualities,
and but for their spitefulness, and tenderness
during cold weather, would prove a good
variety. Like the Cyprian crosses the Syrian
ones crossed with Carnioan drones have
proved themselves good honey gatherers, and
as is usually the case with crosses partaking
of the nature of the male, they are therefore
very docile The pure Syrians, I observe,
are capital sealers of their honey; they do not,
like some varieties, have much loose honey
in their hive. These good features palliate
their singing propensities, which, am in
clined to think, climatic influences will les
sen.
While manipulating several hives of pure
Syrians lately l was savagely attacked by
them, but having my knife in hand cut a
piece of their honey comb. Their propensity
for honey being so great they at once ceased
the attack and flew at the honey, when was
allowed to 1--we my will while they had
theirs. l have more to say about these Syr-
ians, but will wait till have more data
