A NUMBER of experiments have
been institituted at the West Virginia
Agricultural Station TO determine the
fertiliZing value of weeds on the farm.
Forty-nine of the most common weeds
were selected, and the results are
given in the latest number of Science.
They were gathered at about the same
time and in the same manner that
the farmer should gather them for
compost. The chemist found that
each has a certain value, according to
its species, yielding nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid, and potash, the mineral
values of which have been computed.
The conclusion is that weeds if prop
erly composted should be worth SO. sc
per ton. This value is computed on
a water free basis, while the farmer
will ordinarily gather about so per
cent Of water in the total weight.
But it is argued that if the farmer
properly removes the weeds from his
land and roadsides, thereby decreas.

value Of the dry material as computed
to be worth to him SO. so per ton.

PoULTNEY. BIGELOw, the young
American who has been expelled
from Russia by order of the Gar. is
evidently trying to magnify himself
into national issue. He asks: us
this our reward for four loads of
'wheat?'" Poultney should not make
himself more ridiculous than he is.
He had about as much to do as the
man in the moon with the 'lfour
loads of wheat sent by generous
Americans to relieve the starving
Russians The Russian Government
and people have very handsomely ac-
knowledged the gift, and Poultney's
slur is wholly uncalled for. He hap
pened to be a classmate in college
with the young man who is now the
German emperor. and he has never
lost an opportunity to let the world
know it. The German Emperor has
his good points and his weak ones.
But when Poultney undertook to
make him out a bigger man than
Frederick the Great, as he did in a
magazine article, he simply wrote
him down a foolish snob. His often
sfve illusions to the Russian Car
were resented by the latter, and
though his expulsion from Russia is
an autocratic ACT which good sense
condemns, it is not likely to arouse
much sympathy for the one who in
Vited MuscoVite displeasure.

that in addition to the large area and
fourishing condition of the wheat,
corn, and oats crops. the farmers are
producing them fully 25 per cent.
cheaper than any year since emanci-
patton This gratifying result is due
to several causes, among them rigid
economy and more careful and
scientific tiilage. The leading plant
ers in old times read the agricultural
books and journals, but the far larger
number of farmers did not read any
thing except the county or church
paper. Nearly all the farmers now
take one or more papers and not a
few subscribe for a magazine OF some
kind. While the farmers movement,
as it is called, has produced some
wild Yagaries in finance and politics,
it has been the means of stimulating
thought and securing action in some
practical things beneficial to the
farmers and the community in gen
eral.

OCEAN CURRENTS.
The Winds Control This Acknowledgement
Phenomenon

EhenOHlcnOn.
The much-discussed phenomenon of
ocean circulation or ocean currents nav
best be considered, says an English
writer on the subject, by regarding the
currents as merely one grand system of
circulation, produced, not by the trade
winds alone, but by the combined ac-
ton of all the winds capable of produc-
ing this action, the effect upon the cur
rents depending upon two circum-
stances, namely, the direction of the pre-
Willing winds and the conformation of
the sea and land; md from this it re-
suits that'the general system of winds
may sometimes produce a current di-
rcctly opposite to the prevailing wind
blowing over the current. Taking,
therefore, into the ccoun the result of
the conformation of the sea Rhd land,
ii is argued that all the principal cur
rents of the globe-the Gibraltar cur
rent not excepted-arc moving in the
exact direction in which they ourht
to rlove, assuming the winds to be the
sole impelling course This being the
case, the influence of the rotation of the

ID, kept in mind, and Blaine's letter
construed in reference to them, he
must be a stupid person indeed who
finds any trouble in placing him in
sympathy with the moneyed interests
of Wall. Street and against the inter-
ests of the silver producing States.
II, however, his letter to Conger
do.sn not satisfy the partisan mind, Of
his position in regard to silver, it
should be remembered that Blaine
was a member. Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives in 1873, and voted against
the Bland Bill when it passed the
House and even after it was enascu-
l"ted in the Senate by the injection
of the Allison Bill, and IT. came back
t. the House a sad relic of it's former

against silver, there are mon in Ne

The article from the Oregonian

esting will hardly excite expectations
of a very early establishment of
steam traffic between the Sound and
Honolulu At present and for a
while to come our trade with San
Francisco can only be divided with
other ports to our disadvantage.
Still the talk of steam to Portland
will not do harm, as it will tend to
make capitalists ready for the oppor-
tunity, when it is brought by the
expansion of our trade which the
future has doubtless in store.

A Recent Visitor.

Conductor G.. Heartt, of the Santa
Fe, who returned from the Sand
wich Islands yesterday, was seen by
a Times reporter and gave the fol
lowing statement regarding his visit
to that interesting country:
| went there to look up the coffee
industry. | was at the districts of
North and South Kona on the Isl
and of Hawaii. | found coffee grow
ing wild and yielding fair crops, but
the yield is not as much as where
the trees are properly cared for,
Little attention has been paid to
coffee culture in the past, owing to
the fact that larger profits could be
made in sugar than in coffee. At
present the people are beginning to
give more attention to the coffee in
dustry. In few years think cof-
fee will be one of the chief products
of the Hawaiian Islands. The Kona
coffee raised there is of superior
quality and stands Al on the Lon
don market.
The people in the islands are q
kind and generous people They
are pushing and energetic, and al
ways ready to give any desired in
formation. | can never forget the
many attentions shown me while on
my recent visit. Hospitality is the
watchword of the people on the
islands.
As | am not a politician, | paid nc
attention to politics while there
consequently | can give you no in
formation on that subject.
/ expect to return to the islands in
January, 1898, and engage in the
business of coffee raising. My com
pany will consist mostly of Los An
geles people.
The islands are all reached by q
local steamer service out of Homo
lulu, the Inter-Island Company anC
the Wilder Steamship Company
both of which give very satisfactor,
service.-Los Angeles Times.

THE FRIEND AsTRAY.

The Friend in giving reasons for
the defeat of the Macfarlane Cabinet
says that "a somewhat conspicuous
element in the Cabinet of hostility
to the American Minister X X
was believed to have found express
sion in the personal attacks upon
the Minister in the BULLETIN" AS
this pretext for voting out the Cabi-
net was completely destroyed in the
debate on want of confidence, it is
surprising to find a periodical of
such ability and intelligence as the
Friend giving it further currency.
Nobody of any sense believes that
the Ministers or any of them had
the slightest knowledge of the criti-
cisms on the American representa-
tives before publication. The BUL-
LETIN simply accepted communica
tions from American citizens, whose
names must be kept in editorial con-
tidence, rejecting on their country's
representatives, followed by a letter
| from one not an American who used
the subject of this American criti-
cism as an argument against annexa-
ton. The BULLETIN editorially sim
ply used information got from a
member of the Legislature, not a
member of the Ministry, to the effect
that the resolution of the Legisla-
ture was the impulse that sent the
Boston to search for the missing
boat of the wrecked ship, adding
the mild comment, Better late than
never" as the departure of the
cruiser was tacit acknowledgment
that the large number of American
residents, who complained originally
that the expedition was not under
taken at the earliest possible mo-
ment, were right. AS the latest
news from Washington indicates
that the conduct of American
representatives here, as complained
of by some of the survivors of the
wrecked ship, is to be strictly inves
tigated, the senseless chatter about
the BULLETINS correspondence may
as we'll cease, for it only makes its
authors ridiculous. In the United
States the proceedings against the
BULLETIN will probably be regarded
with a chorus of derision. The
liberty of the press is more than /;
name in that country. In another
article the Friend says the apology
in this paper implied that the Min
lister was nevertheless to blame.
Read through prejudiced spectacles
it might imply that, but the entire
motive of the article was to uphold
the right of newspaper to publisl
criticisms on anybody and every
body, provided proper bounds o
language were observed. 1t wa
only because few words in the cor
respondence were sincerely regretted
as being personally offensive tina
any apology was rendered. In con
clusion, it is to be regretted tha
while the case is before the court
the Friend should have compelled
any comments in this paper as de
fense against wrong impressions tha
are calculated to prejudice the cas-
of the defendant.
