Bees in Volusia County.

The mangrOve-cOvered islands of the
Hillsborough river have long been noted
as a bee pasture, which affords ali i'm
mense amount of honey OF superior
quality. In 1886 the mangroves (black)
were killed down by the frost, but they
made a new growth since, and now the
bee-keepers are doing a good business
again. Mr.. w. S. Hart is one of the best
known of the apiarists. He recently
gave the Farmer and Fruit Grower some
interesting notes on the industry, which
we quote:
The early crop of dark honey, usually
gathered from the saw-palmetto and the
gallberry, was almost total failure this
year, owing to the drouth. The soil
was so destitute of moisture that the few
flowers which opened at all contained
very little nectar; and, besides this, the
cattlemen and hunters started numerous
fires, which swept the woods and Destroy
ed or blackened all small growth. No
swarming took place at the usual season.
But the mangrOves were about two
weeks earlier than usual, and blossomed
abundantly, so that the mangrove honey
flow may be said to have fully opened by
June 10th. Contrary to all precedent,
too, the swarming occurred in the man
grove season, and this circumstance cur
tailed the yield somewhat.
About thirty tons of mangrove honey
have been shipped from New Smyrna this
season so far, and this represents only a
thinly settled stretch of fourteen miles
along the HillsbOrough river. Mr.. Hart
has shipped thirty-eight barrels, aggre-
eating about Is, 900 pounds and of this
only about 500 pounds we're Of the early
or dairy honey. He worked ninety-two
hives for extracted honey and one for
comb honey, for exhibition, ETC., making
yield OF about 100 pounds per hive.
For this honey he receives $3.50 ton,
paying 81 cents per 100 pounds for
freightage to the North Five barrels at
$3.50 each cost $13; barrels and freight
together $3.50, leaving him $1,000
ton net.

Plant Food for Grapes.

The question of successful! grape culture
depends upon the chemical composition
of the soil. All plants and vegetables
are composed of fourteen different sub
stances, which of course vary as to pro-
portion.
Experiments have proved that only four
of the fourteen substances are essentially
necessary to mature perfect crops. The
question to know and understand for the
culture of grapes, is in what proportion
are the four substances found in the soil
These substances referred to are azOte,
potash, phosphoric acid and lime.
A crop of grapes necessary to produce
600 gallons of wine to the acre each year
take from the soil, azote, sixteen pounds;
potash, ninty-six pounds; phosphoric
acid, torty-four pounds; lime, seventy
two pounds.
The azote is essential for well growing
branches and the making of wood, but
it must not be present in an excessive
quantity because the vines would produce
too much wood at the sacrifice OF no
1ruit.
The potash is the basis ola good grape
fertilizer, phosphoric acid, when COM
bined with potash produces largest crops
and can be used to excess without injury
to the plant.
Sulphate of lime would be the best OF
lines to use for the following reasons:
LIST. The sulphuric acid contained in
sulphate of lime is forty -nine per cent.
which is sufficient to dissolve potash.
I'd. Sulphate of lime is the only sub
stance which can be mixed with other
manures without the risk of volatilzing
the azote by is action caused by combi-
nation.
3D. The sulphur gives leaves the dark
green color which is always indication
OF good health among plants.
4th. The best remedies applied to dis
eased grape vines always include sulphur
and using sulphate of lime in the soil q
large percentage of sulphur is supplied by
natures own course.
The Germans have for years expert
mented with grapes and their culture and
have discovered that the use of ''Kainit
of'Stassfurt" as a fertilizer results with
great benefits, because kainit contains
from twenty-three to twenty-five percent.
of sulphate of potash and this combined
with sulphuric acid and potash makes q
perfect fertilizer for grape vines.
Absolutely pure sulphate of potash
contains: Potash, 81. OF; sulphuric acid,
1864 The value of this potash is ex-
tremely high, consequently sulphate of
lime is much cheaper to use.
In walking through our hammock
lands you will observe the luxuriant
growth of the wild grape vines; this is
due to the presence of sulphate of lime in
quantities in the sub soil.-Serge Maly-
van, in Ocala Capitol.

statute preventing Government
oiiicia! from holding two offices at
once. There is no such law, and it
is therefore clear that such appoint
ments are not contrary to the letter
OF the law.
,. The object sought by section
l02 of the Election Law is TO pre-
vent the Administration from Using
Government officials as electiOneer-
ing agents. They are therefore ex-
Guided under pain Of fine and i'm
prisonmcnt from ''procuring' the
election, or "assis,ing" the election
of any person. This is right, as a
Government officer is the servant Of
the whole people and not solely Of
the party in power.
The position of an Inspector of
election is judicial one. He is n
"iudge' for that particular husi-
ness. 1t is not partisan position.
The very nature of the duties pre-
vents his being n partisan. lie is
no: "assisting'' or 'procuring'
the election of any person
any more than is y judge
assisting ia the conviction of n Grim
inal at whose trial he presides.
must therefore deny that the
"spirit' of the law has been ylO-
lated.
With reference TO the "complaints
which are audibly breathing on this
score" none have come to me. With
the intent Of forestalling any posi-
bic charge of uniairness in the selec-
ton of Inspectors, ] have been in
correspondence for the last two
months on the subject with men of
all shades Of political feeling having
written an average of about four
letters for every inspector appointed.
Quite number of the govern
ment officers were recommended for
appointment by gentlemen Of the
opposition.
The list of inspectors published
for Honolulu, which is specially re-
fcrred to, was submitted to n number
o; the opposition candidates, among
others ii. A. Widemann, J. $. Wal
ker and II. r. Lucas and pronounced
satisfactory. Contrary toyour state
meni that there is no difficulty in OBJ
tanning men competent and willing tC
act, would say that there is great
difficulty, ~ the work IL arduous
and the pay small, and one prime
reason for taking officials Al all, /,
that they have acted before, nr,
acquainted with the work, and were
available without serious hlsines,
injury to themselves.

Of unfurness and partiali,y in tht
appointment of Inspectors is un

That is, every voter will have to

EDITOR BULLETIN: In yesterdays

Honolulu and other centres Of pOpu-
latiOn men competent and willing to
undertake the duties Of inspectors
are not so scarce rs To neccssiJate
the appointment Of Government
officials. Therefore many of the
appointments made in these places
are inexcusablc, aud the electors
have just grounds for the complaints
which they are audibly breathing on
this score"
You have given no figures 10 slow
that the number of Government
officials is enormous, nor have you
quoted any statute or advanced any
reasons why the appointments made
are contrary to either the letter or
the spirit of the law.
There arc )" voting precincts in
the Kingdom, requiring III lnspec-
tors. The number OF persons draw
ing salaries from the Treasury who
are inspectors is as follows:
Hawaii, II out OF total Of 81 /;
Maui, Mal0kai and Lanai, l3 out OF
AZ; Oahu, ID out A5; Kauai and
Nihau, Z out of ~; total, a. out
of III.
OF this AZ, Is are justices, or en-
pIoyees of the Supreme and Circuit
Courts, over whom the Administra-
ton has no control. The sumber of
executive officers on the boards is
therefore only 20 ont OF ~. Of
this ~ quite number are school
teachers, who are appointed aad
controlled by the Board of Ednra-
ton, q non-partisan body.
These figures are sufficient To
show that your statement that the
number of Government officials APP
pointed as inspectors lis enormous"
is incorrect.
Sccond, with reference TO your
statement that "if this is not con-
trary to the letter, it is contrary Ia
the spirit of the law" | would say

law to Government officers, III con-
nection with elections, is section lO-

follows:

ton OF trust,or profit under the Gov
crnment who shall act for thu
purpose of procuring or assisting il
the election Of any person, except q

VERY STRANGE.

1t is strange, very strange, that
men who profess TO he upright and
honest, seeking nothing in the
line of politics and craftsmanship
but good government" should be
displeased with others for adopting
their principles and aims. But
strange as it may appear, this seems
to be exactly the state Of some peO-
pie at the present time. Adherents
of the so.called Reform Party are
accusing the Mechanics and Wsrk-
ingmen's Union and the kalaiaina
of stealing and approprlating the
"platform" which they (the Reform
ers) endorsc-thc Government plat
form and reproaching them for do
ing So Those who have attended

make the same charge on the public

the accusation, we ask, il the gov
ernment statement Of policy is good
