Things to Do and to Know.

The pear delights in a deep, rich, warm
loan, with a clay subsoil.
Plow orchards in the fall 1t is better to
do it in the spring, though, than not at all.
Treat the cows kindly. Harsh treatment

themselves up.
Incoming COWS should have a limited diet
of dry hay, with little bran, for q few
weeks previous to calving
A steer was lately taken to the Cincinnati
market that weighed 1850 pounds. 1t was 6
years old, and was reared near Decatur, Ind
The cherry grows best in a rich, warm,
sandy loan. If mulch of leaves, straw or
brush is put around them they will be very
much benefited by it.
Arizona has grass enough to feed 100000
cattle, but most of it can be made no use
because there is no water. Artesian wells
will probably remedy this difficulty.
Select the calm, steady hand and horses to
work in the orchard; the cross, petulant, re-
vengefuI, malicious man should be kept away
from the orchard. Tree murderers are sadly
too numerous.
The Ohio Agricultural Experiment station
calls attention to the fact that in its expert
ments potatoes raised from large, whole seed
ripened nine days earlier than those from seed
cut TO single eyes.
A writer in Colman's Rural World says
that there has not been a better time in many
years than this is for going into the wool
growing business. 1t is truism scarcely

An Anger to Bore "a Square Hole.
ICIevalnnl Herald

The first and only auger ever manufac-
tured that will bore a square hole is now
in the shops of the Cleveland Machine
company. This anger fores a two inch
square hole, the size used in ordinary
frame buildings and barns, but they can
be made on the same principle to bore
square holes of any size Its application
is ordinary and works Oh the same prin-
ciple as round hole augers. Its end, in
stead of having a screw or bit, has cam
motion which oscillates a cutter mounted
on a steel rocking-knife which cuts on
both sides.
In order TO prevent the splintering of the
wood the ends of the cutter are provided
with small semi circular shaped saws
which help in cutting out perfectly square
corners 1t is estimated that tits new
process will save the labor of three men
who work with chisels. as one man can
conveniently cut a two inch mOrtice in the
same length of time he can bore round
hole The invention is the work of a
Wooster man who has given the subject
years of patient thought

HONOLULU HAWAIIAN ISLANDS, SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1885.
An Advocates Strategy.

Maitre Lachand, the famous advocate,
was perhaps the greatest master Of com
edy in France, and not few eminent
actors enyied him his marvellous mimic
powers. He was once employed to defend
a murderer, against whom the facts were
hopelessly clear When his pathetic ap
peals and his tears-Which were always
at call when he pleaded before a country
jury-failed to touch his stolid audience,
he resorted to the most impudent piece of
broad farce. Thrusting his moistened
white handkerchief into his pocket, he
demanded if the jurors were men, if they
had human hearts, if they could bring
themselves to condemn a fellOwman like
the accused, whom he had credited with
all sorts of chivalrous, if not sanity,
merits. His eloquence was not merely
fruitless. but the jury responded to it at
first with uneasy shutting, then with bit
ing of lips, and, finally, with loud and
uncontrolled bursts of laughter.
Lachand, while flinging his hands, had
Intentionally dipped his fingers in the great
ink.pot in front of him, and, as he drew
his right hand across his forehead, as if
in an agony Of despair at the certain fate
of the accused. he left upon his brow an
enormous black mark like crescent
moon, and drew other black traces down
his cheeks as he put his fingers to his eyes
to dash away the tears. Feigning high
moral indignation at their conduct, he
continued: You are about to decide
whether one of your fellow-men shall be
thrust by you out of the ranks of the iv
ing. and you choose such moment for
indulging in cruel and thoughtless laugh
ter. Is this extravagant mirth a fitting
mood in which to decide whether man
shall or shall not die?" The argument
Gtually told upon the jury. The man
