A GOOD FERTILIZER.
One Of tho Most Beneficial Uses to Which
Clover Can Be Put.

One OF the Most Beneficial Uses to which
Glover Can Hc Put.
A correspondent requests informa-
ton in regard to how best to fertilize
with clover, and whether it should
grow to certain height. to be used rs
pasture, or cut as hay before blowing
under. There are several modes of
fertilizing with clover. One is simply
to use clover crop in rotation, the
simple occupancy of tie land by the
clover being beneficial. as the sod must
always be turned under before another
crop can be grown. To pillow under n
crop of growing clover that can be cut
as hay will be objected to by farmers.
as they. will not willingly make such u
direct sacrifice. Nor are they required
10 do SO. The object in advocating the
advantages of growing a crop of clover
is to induce larger number Of farm
ers to grow more of it. If sOwn on
wheat land. and good stand be Sc
cured. the clover will occupy the land
after the wheat shall be of, and may
be used for any purposes desired. either
rs pasturage or to hay; but fertilizing
of the soil is done by the decay of the
roots after the sod shall have been
plOwed under. 1t is a property of
clover to secure ammonia mostly from
the air, and not from the soil The
proof Of this fact is shown by the large
amount of nitrogen Of clover; yet it
thrives best on soil rich in potash
and lime. Though containing nitro
gen in great proportions. yet it is
not benefited by applications of
fertilizers containing nitrogen. thus
demonstrating that it derives the
greater proportion of its nitrogen from
the atmosphere. which is stored large
ly in the roots by the plant. while the
m neral matter is derived from the
soil II the farmer, therefore, will
grow q crop Of clover on the same land
every four years. he will fertilize the
land with the nitrogen taken from the
atmosphere. thus enriching his soil
with that which will cost him but very
little, and he may cut his crop and
dispose Of it. provided he shall plow
under the sod and thus utilize tho
roots II an application Of lime and
wood ashes be made on the land an
nually, the farmer need not be COM
PEELED to purchase heterogeneous fertil-
izers at all, and these advantages he
will secure BY simply growing the crop
on the land. II. however. he should
prefer to seed down to clover in the
spring. cut the first growth the next
season. and then pillow under the SEQ
ond growth when the clover shall
be from six inches TO . foot high.

G. d. BELDEN, EDITOR.

At the High School Council at Mime
apolis last week q spirited discussion grew
out Of paper read by Prof. Alton, Of the
Winthrop school. Minneapolis. His Sub
ject was Professional Training. He
said: "Of 1000 teachers in the employ Of
the state but 40 per cent have first grade
certificates, perhaps so per cent hold
second grade certificates and possibly 80
per cent Of the entire force are fairly we'll
qualified. When we remember, that,
sevec.tenths of our teachers cannot read
fairly chance selection from an Ameri-
can classic or daily newspaper; that
they shrink from the analysis of simple
sentence; that they miss the thought Of a
stanza from Whittier, Holmes or Long
fellow; that they like or dislike historical
fact much the same rs they like or dislike
chocolate caramels; that they have never
risen above words and isolated facts to
study mankind toillng upward generation
after generation from profound origin
to an exalted destiny---when. I say
we but remember that IN our own land.

the face of the globe, entire communities

Importance of harder study, sounder
thinking and longer time IN that stage of

school education.
"The key to the situation. continued
Mr.. Alton, lis in having professional
schools. Doctors and lawyers are given
full course of study which bears par
ticularly upon there line of work. The
same thing should be done for teachers.
The normal schools do not supply this
want" Mr.. Alton then went Into tech
nical discussion of the value of the nor
NAL school work. In conclusion he re.
commended that the work Of education
be divided into three stages, the high
school to do its work as grammar school;
the normal school aud university to be
the succeeding stages.

The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1888-08-14
The Oahu Railroad.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your issue OF to-day
there is an article upon the Oahu Rail-
road bill about which l beg to make the
following remarks.
Messrs. Skinner & Co. are not the
promoters OF any railroad on Oahu.
There is an application before the Min
lister of the Interior on the part Of the
undersigned, as engineer Of the Ha-
waiian Tramways Company, for charter
under an existing railroad statute to
build a steam railroad in extension of
the existing street railroad from Homo
lulu to Pearl river.
Messrs. Skinner & Co. are the con-
tractors for the street railroad OF Homo
lulu, holding their contract from the
Hawaiian Tramways Company, the
organization OF which company has been
made public in this city by means Of its
prospectus.
Mr.. II. K. Armstrong, Hawaiian Con-
sul-General in London, is partner in
the firm of Skinner & Co., and whatever
charges the Hawaiian Government may
have against him, cannot with any show
of justice affect their treatment of an
independent corporation which was not
so much as conceived when the Govern
ment loan was negotiated.
AT the same time it is greatly to be
hoped that the Hawaiian Government
will take steps to substantiate their
accusations. Mr.. Armstrong personally
enjoys the confidence Of the company;
possessing an honorable record in bust
,.lA LOT
of the most influential financial houses
in London. 1t is now some time since
the Minister OF Finance was Intercepted
in the House on the subject, so we may
look for his reply very shortly, but the
explanation given above may prevent
people from making mistaken state
ments which may get them into trouble.
The Attorney-General in the Legisla-
ture last Friday used very bitter lang
uage against this Company, for which |
think there is no just foundation.
The Company intend to promote not
only its own interests but the interests of
the residents, property-owners and me-
chanics OF Honolulu. 1t can at any time
enter into a contract for building the
proposed steam railway to Pearl Harbor.
Ii Honolulu residents shall desire to take
stock in such enterprise they will GER
tainly have full opportunity to do so. If
Honolulu capital alone will build that
road, there is every reason why it should
have the opportunity. If foreign capital
and enterprise are not desired they will
not come. But thus far no capitalist
here has ventured to risk one dollar
either in the Tramway or the Oahu rail-
way. The domestic investments made
in those directions appear to be largely
composed of vituperative epithets and
self-laudation.
