ENSnAGE FOR STOCK.

ing of SflOS.

Ing of Silcs.
Four years experience in feeding,
corn silage to herd of one hundred to
two hundred head OF cattle and horses
(mOstly cows) has impressed me with
the fact thattor wintering stock Of any
kind the cost is reduced fifty per cent
by its use. | am also convinced that, as
dairyman, | would as soon think of
keeping cows in the summer without
grass or green soiling food, as to
winter them without silage. Use ma
ture corn, we'll set with roasting ears,
to secure which early planting and
thorough cultivation is necessary. Use
the slant tooth harrow, until four to
six inches high, twice week. Don't
be afraid of narrowing too much.
Plant in drills, one kernel in place,
six to ten inches apart, three feet eight
or ten inches between rows. Cut when
ears are fit to roast wilt one day on the
ground. cut Into any length from half
inch to inch pieces, and put into sho
built of wood, above ground air tight
and waterproof above and below,
strong enough not to spread and crack
open to let m air. ELL at your con-
venience. Il does not hurt to stand
few days. and good sweet ensilage can
be made by continuous filing, with
out waiting TO heat up. No partitions
are necessary in a sfio; they only
make corners and induce waste In
filling. keep the silage leveled, and
the edges and corners wen trod
down. This is important as
the constant levefing distributes
the cornssalks and leaves evenly. so
that the ration is uniform, and the
close packing at corners and edges
prevents air from penetrating down
the sides and causing mold and decay.
No covering or weighting Is necessary,

WHEN DAYS WORK is DONE

michael j. Adams, in Current.]
In the evening, worn and weary,
When the days work is done,
And the toll of mind and body,
From the rising of the sun,
Holds the spirits in languor
Not OF death, not OF lie,
What blessing man is given
In true and loving wife! III
~
just to see the tender greeting
In her fond and trusting eyes
Note the coming words OF welcome
That the look alone implies
Is enough to cheer toiler,
Light the struggles of the day,
Bid him Danish weary worry,
Take of comfort while he may.
1t is pleasure in the morning,
OF to toll for daily bread,
When the parting kiss is given
With blessing on our head;
But ii is JOY far sweeter
When our little darlings run,
BY their mother sent to meetus
When the long days work is done.

Volcano News.

Several Volcano excursionists returned
by the w. G. Hall yesterday afternoon
and report the Volcano very active.
There are several new blow-holes, and
one especially near Dana Lake can be
heard for a mile from it's site. The lake
itself is boiling over, and Halemaumau
has sunk perceptibly from it's recent
height. Two of the party of excursion
lists remained over in Kau on a shooting
excursion, and the others returned we'll
satisfied with what they experienced.
Another memo of intelligence handed
to us since the above was in type, states
that MIR. Gallagher and wife, MIR. Stanley
and wife, and Mr.. F. Jenkins, comprls-
ing the Pastime Novelty Company, re-
turned to Honolulu by the steamer w q.
Hall after an absence of several weeks
on the several islands OF the group.
They report the Volcano very active, and
were delighted with the, scenery and
other unique sights of the Kingdom.
This company of tourists will probably
leave Honolulu for San Francisco by the
next steamer.

Syrens for Steamships, Plantations and
Factories-size and Cost.
Steam whistles are made in great
variety, from the little tin pipe that is
attached to the street peanut roaster t.
the big foghorns that announce the ap.
proach of ocean steamships. They have
displaced bells wherever it is necessary
to send a warning to a long distance.
With a strong and favorable wind the
lCudest steam whistle may be heard
twenty miles. They are much used in
factories and on Southern plantations.
The biggest steam-whistle on record
hereabOuts was made by Manning, Max
well 4 Moore for Canada saW-mill
The mill was located in a sparsely settled
locality, and had had several fires, w hich
resulted disastrOusly, on account of the
difficulty Of summoning assistance. The
proprietors sent to New York for the
biggest whistle that could be got The
result was a steam-WhiStle about two
feet in diameter that could be heard
twenty miles. II took a 60O-hOrse power
engine TO blow it, This whistle cost $50.
II is not unusual to make factory and
plantation whistles that can be heard
ten or twelve miles. Big ship whistles
are made of ten or twelve inches dla-
meter. 4 much-used whistle is what Is
known rs the Crosby chime. 1t con-
sists of three whistles, one above an
other. These threestOry whistles are
much used on ships. The smallest OF
the three whistles is about five inches in
diameter. This pattern can be heard a
LONGER distance than any other.
Varieties Of tone are procured by vary
inc the shape in the same way that a
how changes the tone OF the wooden
whistle that he makes. The Sound
steamers have a hOarse whistle that Is
mic distinct from the whistles OF other
boats. and is readily recognized In log.
Railroad whistles are sharp and pierre

Hall Improvement.

The large Hall of the Y. NJ. c.. A. is
being improved by enlarging the plat
form, which is being extended three feet
out from the wall, and heightened about
ten feet. This change will save a great
deal of trouble which has been hereto
fore experienced in the necessity of sup
plementing the regular platform with a
temporary structure on those frequent
occasions when more room has been re-
quired. The lengthening of the platform
considerably improves the appearance of
the end OF the room, by filling up what
was formerly rather a blank looking

90 The TRUTH

This is the title of new weekly news
paper, printed in the Hawaiian language.
1t is edited and published by Hon. J. E.
Bush, with Mr.. George Markham as
business manager. The paper is printed
on new types, and in its Typography pre-
sents a very neat appearance, and is
furnished for 81 90 year Like all our
Hawaiian papers, it processes to be pub
lished solely in the interest of the Ha-
waiian people. What may be its special
advice to them on political, social, moral
and religious questions of the day will
probably be developed III future num-
bers. Any publication that aims to
make Hawaians better men and women,
and better fitted for the duties and cares
of life, should receive the support of all.
Copies can be had at the Hawaiian News

Another Fdead cat is reported in The

do die, and that their carcases are
thrown anywhere to get rid of them
but really dead cats are so much more
plentiful then dead donkeys, that there
does not seem to be any need of making
a record of every feline death.
