WHY is 1T?

That an engineer, running perhaps
only donkey engine, will constantly
have his oil can in reach, and apply il
TO all parts OF his engine freely; and a
man owning a watch that costs him a
great deal OF money will let it run for
years without a particle OF oil. Why
is it?
On the one hand a heavy, clumsy
piece of machinery; on the other, a del
icate piece of machinery, great many
times more valuable; and yet less at
tention paid the latter than the first.
True, you cannot take an oil can and
fill your watch with oil, that would be
worse than none at all but you can take
it to a skillful man and have it done for
you.
Remember that even the comparative
ly simple process of cleaning watch
should be done by SKILLED workman,
or more harm than good may result
therefrom
The annoyance OF finding it necessary
to send your watch abroad for repairs
has entirely been done away with.
Yonr time-plece, no matter how valu-
able, nor in what condition it may be,
can be repaired at home, and in such
a. manner that it will be a pleasure to
you.
My watch repairing department is
now so perfect and in a position to do
the most intricate work to your entire
satisfaction, and at no greater expense
than the same would be charged for
in the United States. If your time
piece is beyond repair, you will be told
so, and put to no expense in having
it overlooked.

G. The Late Kings PrOfege.

Among the passengers by the
Australia was a telegraph messen-
ger, a protege of the late King.
While in California King Kalakaua
took a fancy to the little fellow, and
persuaded him to leave the messen-
ger service to enter his employ, in
tending to bring him to the Islands
on the Kings return. By the Kings
death the boy lost both a royal
friend and a position. He was not
without a friend, for Col. Geo. w.
Macfarlane took him under his care,
and the boy came to Honolulu after

How Fertility Is Wasted.

When the water in ravines is dis
colored by the drainage from the barn
yards which border them somebody is
paying dearly for his improvidence
and laziness- There may have been
some excuse for first settlers locating
their feeding yards in sheltered places
along the streams, but the practice
ought to have been abandoned long
ago. The yards should be removed
from the ravines and placed on high
ground fsuch places are necessarily
bleak, shelter should be erected Keep
your stock confined to the yards and
stables as much as possible and bed
them well with straw or refuse from
the haystacks- Permit no prairie hay
or straw to remain in the field because
useless for feeding. Haul it into the
yard to increase the size and value of
the manure heap Manure made and
kept under shelter is worth double
that made in the open yard, exposed to
drenching rains which take away its
most valuable elements - Drainage
