FARM, GARDEN AND

Evergreen Hedges

In our northern region early spring Is
the best time to plant. W hen planted
early in May, the young plants are rooted
aud started before the hot, dry weather
of July and August strikes them. Early
autumn paintings, farther south have
been attended with success, am told.
Trees or plants that have been once or
twice transpanted in the nursery row
should be selected for hedge planting /;
twelve to fifteen inches is good height
to select and the plants should be a.
stoeky and fun Of branches a. can be had
at that size and age. Set them a triiie
deeper than they originally grew in the
soil, and water well when planted. Wa
ter occasionally during the hot dry wealth
er of the first summer 1t il good prac-
tee to plant two rows foot or SO apart,
and have the trees of the two rows alter
nate or "break joints. This gives Il
thicker ground work without crowding
the roots. If seedlings are used instead
of the transplanted stock they must he
shaded the brst summer or considerable
loss will be experienced. Better pay
little more and get the transplanted stock
in all cases.
But little cutting can be done the first
year or two, as the hedge must first be-
come well-established, root and top.
Struggling shoots far out from the body
of the plant may be nipped off, and any
extreme upward growth checked. The
growth of hedge is slow. 1t takes
years of waiting to get a good one; a
thoroughly good hedge cannot be had in
less than eight or ten years. The form
of a hedge is matter of individual taste.
There is, however, natural form In
which the hedge best thrives; that is
broad at the base, narrowing to the top,
This form gives the lower limbs chance
to obtain light, air, and moisture, which
they do not have in the squaretrimmed
hedge. The beauty of hedge depends
upon its solidity and even distribution of
limb and foliage. If the lower limbs are
forced to reach far out for light and air,
the lateral twig growth will be light, and
the lower part of the hedge rather open,
and if kept cut back in square form.
these lower limbs will frequently die out
from oyercrowding and lack of light and
air.-dmeriean Igricnturiss for March.

Hamakua Roads.

AAdAiaAua AROaN@s
Mr. EDITOR: Having had occasion
to ride over a certain part of our
Hamakua Government road, and
contrasting their present state to the
nonentity of a Government road
heretofore, I would wish to make
few remarks.
Our district of Hamakua, HilO ez-
cepted. is probably as serrated a
landscape as any on the Hawaiian
Islands-it is literally a mass Of hills
and hOllows. A few months ago it
was almost an impossibility to drive
over the road for a distance Of six or
eight miles. Now, thanks to the
energetic work Of our Road Board,
we can easily gallop over our hereto
/ fore serrated hills and mud-bOund
| hOllOws, passing over them as vista
/ of the past.
/ 1t is strange, but still an undeni-
| able fact, that our road supervisors
/ in times past did not attend to our
/ roads; possibly on account Of no
| money or probably too much. A
/ year ago should anyone have allud-
/ ed to the possibility of carriage
running over our roads, the matter
would be simply derIded Now, we
can ride in carriages or gallOp on
horseback through Hamakua as
easily as on the Island Of Oahu. We
can meet the energetic enterprise of
our Road Board with grateful thanks.
and we can also commend MIR. j. Il.
Mills (who has given much Of his
GnOccupied time to the interests Of
our Hamakua Road Board), to
strangers and friends who may pos
sibly pass through our district, and
who may make remarks about ouI
recent improvements and our hither
to impossible roads. He viii assm.
eddy tell them that through the ener
getic endeavors of j. NJ. Horner al
kukaiau, of w. H. Rickard at Hon
okaa, and W. Horner at Kukuihaele
| (these gentlemen forming our RoaC
BOard) has been contaminated the
reality of a pleasant carriage drive
through Hamakua. Mr.. Mills has
had charge Of most of the roads, anc
should these gentlemen have full
power to act we firmly believe in two
or three years there would be no diff
fculty in driving a steam road en-
CINE through our heretofore almos
impossible district.

Mr.. Robert Hall started to drive

way home from church, the cross
head to the pole Of his carriage part
ed from its fastenings, and the horses
became in a measure unmanageable.
The bottom of the gulch was reached
in safety, and the. vehicle was about

-nants picked themselves up- severely

thrown from his horse, but sustained
no serious injury.

rescued from very perilous situa-

Is certain, the government should
compel the owners Of such animals
either to keep them away. from the
public highway or furnish pedes-
TRANS with feet-footed Nightmares
to carry them safely out of the reach
of the brutes.
The explanation made in answer
to hUaaina's inquiry concerning the
excursion to Molokai is doubtless
satisfactory. No harm can come
from friendly criticism and INQUIRY.
The changes and improvements
that have been and are taking place
in all directions under the present
Government are certainly very en-
couaging.
Cupid has let fly another culver
from his bow and, as usual, stiung
two hearts on its shaft. Smart little
fellow, TO be sure, but look at the ex-
penence he has had.

years head overseer and lately assis-
tant manager of Star Mill, leaves the
district this week 10 take a situation

Dancing parties under whatever
