THE DAILY


The Bulletin finds that the Presl-
dent of the Legislature has used
great fairness and moderation In
making up the committee list. We
fail to see just how these qualities
have been manifested. The Fl
nance committee which is gener-
ally regarded as the most lmpor-
tant committee of all, does not
properly represent the Reform
party. 1t ought to include in addi-
ton to Mr.. Burchardt, not Rep.
White, but Mr.. Baldwin, or some
other leading member of the Re-
form party. Fairness demands
that the party in the minority
should be represented on the i'm
portant committees by its strongest
men. We do not quarrel with
President Walkers giving control
of the committees to his own party.
That is no more than IS customary.

One young girl in the midst OF

Seven nuns are known to be

and two other nuns named Gilbert

At the windows were maniacs
peering through the bars, grinning
and jabbering until, enveloped in
the flames, they were compelled to
release their hold, and drop back
to an awful death.
Chief Bennett says it was such q

1t is unfortunate however that it |
confines the investigation to Homo
lulu. This however could not be
helped, as it was not feasible for an
important legislative committee to
absent itself for any length of time
on Hawaii and Maui during the
sitting of the Legislature. There
can be no doubt, however, that the
investigation in Honolulu should be
supplemented by an equally search
ing inquiry elsewhere. Doubtless
the Legislature will find the means
to prosecute the latter inquiry. If
the Legislature should find it neces-
sary to take a recess sometime be-
fore final adjournment, this might
afford committee the necessary
opportunity to prosecute its labors.
In the meantime the committee ap-
pointed on Friday HIS already, we
believe, gone actively to work, and
if they prove, as we hope they will,
energetic and fearless, they ought
to unearth something. There is
fraud somewhere beyond doubt,

1t is just as necessary for the thrift of
farm animals that they should have salt
as that their food should be clean and
wholesome; furthermore, the salt should
be SO placed that ii may be obtained by
them whenever nature Graves it, and
they should not be obliged to wait until
the attendant deals it out to them, and as
this is usually done it would be at ir-
regular periods and in irregular quanti-
ties. 1t is to suggest q good means of

of salt boxes shown in the cut are given.
These, according to the correspondent
who describes them in Rural New York

adapted for the purpose intended. The

How to Grow Cabbage.

To have cabbage early, tender and de-
hcious, and to have it productive, it must
be well fed. The secret of success that
attends its cultivation by the market gar
deners Is the vast quantity of manure
used. Where manure cannot be cheaply
obtained cabbage should be grown on
sod ground, which, for early market
purposes, should be plowed not later than
the 1st of October. There is no fertilizer
cheaper or more effective for cabbage or
other crop than decaying sod For late
cabbage plow about the middle of Nav.
or when grass is in the most active state
of growth; it is then as effectuallv killed
rs though plowed in autumn. Manure
should be put on and plowed in about the
middle of July, or just before the setting
of the plants. As soon as the plants are
established set the cultivator at work in
the field, the hoe in the garden; not only
should they he set at work, but they must
be kept at work-persistent work in cul-
tivation is the price of cabbage. The
cultivator will not long do in the field:
the small plow must follow, as no other
implement pulverizes the soil as well
In the garden the fork must follow the
hoe.
On the subject of varieties, c.. l.. Allen,
authority for the foregoing, tells in
American Agriculturist that the best
cabbage is the Jersey Wakefield, both
early and late varieties. The late sort is
now popular with the market gardener
as succession, coming in between the
Early Wakefield and the Early Summer.
For late cabbage, the Savoy is one of the
best as keeper, as well as for quality

Care aud Improvement of Pastures.

Grass ought not to he pastured in very
early spring before the ground settles
and the sod becomes firm. By this early
pasturing the tops are kept closely cut
off, the roots are much injured, from
which the grass does not recover for the
entire season. To gain and thrive a
grass needs some green leaves. When
the pasture is thin and unproductive
harrow the surface and SOW on other
kinds of grasses and clovers, with top
dressing of some fertilizer. This serves,
to some extent, as a rotation of crops for
the soil When the cattle are fed oil
meal or other rich food, most of it goes
to fertilize the land. Baron j. b. Lawes
advises against feeding grass the first
year. He opposes moving it the second
year, having found that this practice
destroys the clovers and lesser grasses
by encouraging the stronger growing
spires. He avoids moving for several
years, feeding with cattle in preference
to sheep. He sows variety of grasses,
leaving the best to hold their own. The
falling off of pasture may be avoided
by liberal feeding on the ground of
cattle eating cotton meal cake.
