THE DAILY
FOREIGN GRASSES.

The question of grasses has not
occupied the minds of our ranchers
and dairy farmers here as much as
1t should have done, or rather we
would say, as widely as it should
have done. There have been re-
Gently some careful experiments
made, which have gone far towards
proving what can be done in this
direction.
1t is well known to all country
residents that the native grasses
have been steadily ousted by two
foreign intruders, viz: Hilo grass
and manienie. The ordinary OBJ
server believes the former to be
utterly worthless and the latter to
have every good property. This is
not entirely true, for if not too rank
cattle will eat Hilo grass readily,
though it makes very poor beef,
while the latter is not by any means
the best material to fatten animals
upon.
The question has, therefore, come
up before some of our stock raisers
as to what to do to improve the feed.
especially has it come before those
who have small herds running on
limited p ture. The grasses that
have been tried are cocksfoot and
rye grass from England, rib grass
from Australia, prairie and johnson

Upon enquiry at headquarters we
are informed that the motive of
having a steamer excursion was to
have friends of lepers visit them at
one specified time, instead Of having
such visitations distributed right
along by means of individual per
mits for which there has always
been an importunate demand. 1t is
held to be out of the question to al
together prevent friends of the I'm
fortunate people from occasionally
seeing and talking with them. This
decision was approved by Mr.. Meyer,
who has had long experience as
superintendent at Molokai, whose
knowledge of the native Hawaiian
nature is therefore very complete,
and who is known as man of con-
sentative inclinations-not liable to
be carried away by purely sentimental
considerations, but likely to contine
his recommendations to measures of
sound and wise discretion. In short,
the reply to the criticism of the
Likelike expedition is that it was the
lesser of two evils. ED.

4 NOTE OF WARMING.

That Puget Sound will be great
center of naval construction has long
been apparent to every thinking citi-
zen of the republic. We have just
begun to contemplate tho great
wrong perpetrated upon the govern
ment through democratic duplicity
and connivance with the British
commissioners in permitting the IL
40 line to be detected so as to give
the grasping British Zion" tue con-
troll Of the Straits of Fuca, the
grandest entrance way to the great
est harbor on the whole Pacific coast.
We have only now left us the poor
alternative to protect ourselves
against British aggressions upon the
commerce of the Sound.
To Esquimalt, near Victoria, for
two years past Great Britain has
been silently sending over the Cana
dian Pacific train-loads of guns, am
unition and naval and military stores
and armaments. With the compIe-
ton of such formidable Notifications
and the mounting OF such guns as
are in progress of erection and put.
ting in position at Esquimalt, our
old enemy can effectually, whenever
so disposed, close that ocean channel
to our shipping, We are practical
ly pensioners upon Great Britain's
caprice in our navigation of Puget
Sound; for, should trouble arise be
tween the two nations-for which
England is prepared and for which
we are not-the blockade of Fucf
straits would be made far more op.
prcssive and destructive upon oul
commerce than that of Charleston
harbor was upon the shipping of the
confeneracy during the war of the
Union.-Great Falls Leader, Mon.
