Farmers, Attention,

About a month ago F. FL. Snow, di-
rector Of the Experimental Station at
Lawrence, sent circulars to all who had
obtained infected chinch- bugs from him
during the summer. About 5000 Of
these circulars were sent out. OF these
only one-third have been returned with
the desired answers. Every person to
whom one Of these circulars was sent
should fill out the blanks and return to
Prof. Snow at once. It is necessary to
have the cooperation Of every expert
msnter. If q full report from all parties
is not sent in, Prof. Snow has no way Of
telling the result Of his seasons work,
and cannot continue the experiments in
telligently. Without this information
from the field he would simply be work
ing in the dark. This is matter which
interests not only Prof. Snow but also
the whole state. II the chinch-bug in
lection is success it ought to be known;
and if it is a failure, the knowledge Of
that factis equally desirable.

The Interstate Fair.

The Interstate Fair.
The Kansas City Interstate Fair was
q great surprise to those who predicted q
failure. It was thought that the scarcity
Of money and the competing wonders Of
the Worlds Fair would prevent good
attendance, but Thursday, Kansas day,
saw as large q crowd as ever assembled
on the grounds.
Many Of the Worlds Fair herds of
cattle were exhibited and the show Of
cattle in general has not been excelled
on those grounds. Hogs, horses and
sheep were not 90 numerous as in previ-
GUS years, but were very fine specimens.
The exhibit Of farm machinery was good
and those making exhibits deserve men
tion for their enterprise and interest in
showing their machinery.
The Weber gasoline engine was the
center Of attraction in its department,
and was utilized in driving the electric
lighting machinery in the basement Of
the main building. A banner above it
bore the familiar legend: Guaranteed
cost of running, cent per hour per
horse power"
A. j. Robinson, Of the HsWorth corn
planter, and Me. Darling, Of the IXL
windmill, explained the points Of merit
in their machinery to the farmers. Mr..

MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE.

Union.
To the Members of the National Farmers Ali
Gnce and Industrial Union:
The national executive committee Of
the Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union having had referred to them from
several Alliances the question of the or.
gsnizstion Of a life insurance company
on the regular standard plan or the REQ.
Ommendation Of some organization that
would be known to be q good, reliable
and safe company, and the members Of
the executive committee having given
the subject due consideration, reach the
conclusion that a new association at this
time would be neither polite nor wise.
We believe, however, that We Will fully
care for the interests Of the order by
recommending some life insurance
society, conducted on the mutual plan
with good record, and a sound and
safe financial policy, at the same time
offering insurance at lowest rates con-
sistent with safety TO the insured as well
as to the insurer; and we unhesitRtingly
and cordially recommend for the insur-
snce of the lives Of the members on the
mutual plan '"The Mutual Life Insur-
snce Company Of New York"
We do 80, because after careful study
and investigation, we are led to believe
that The Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of New York is the largest and
strongest mutual life company, and pay
ing the largest amounts in dividends oi
any insurance organization in the world
It has been tested in the crucible OF
finance for more than fifty years, and
has always, so far as we can learn,
treated it's members with the utmost
equity and generosity and been prompt
in the payment Of it's every obligation
Being a. purely mutual organization, the
ownership Of it's vast assets, amounting
to more than $175,OO0,OOO, is strictly the
property OF the membership. It has in
it's membership a very large number Of
the most careful, prudent and far seeing
men in the nation; and beng founded
on lines somewhat similar to those Of
the Alliance, for mutual benefit, assist
snce and protection, we believe that ouE
membership, by insuring therein, would
have the best and safest protection for
their money, and leave sure benefit to
those in whose favor the insurance iE
made.
In times like the present, with so much
uncertainty IN every walk Of life, it be-
comes the duty of every farmer to make
safe provision for his wife and children
in case Of sudden removal from this life
and especially IL his property is at al
encumbered, so that in the event Of his
leave taking, the family remaining may
be sure Of a home, free and untrammeled
by debt, and not open to foreclosures
and sale, the first steps to ruin and
want. Frsternslly,
Il. L. LoUcKs, Chairman.

Testimonials as to the eff
cacy of patent medicines
usually bear signatures cores
ponding with the names on
tombstones while those which
tell of the superior quality of
our goods are from men strong
in the flesh. If we were to
publish half of the letters re-
ceived from people selling the
Aermotor, for instance, it
would require more space than
the publisher of this journal
would care to sell US. We give
you one in this issue from Mr..
Matthew Noall, the manager
of the sugar plantation at
Laie, Oahu, dated November
20, 1898.
eve have now had your
16-ft. Aermotor and No. 5
pump in operation on our cane
field for over four months.
We find it will do all that is
claimed for it. In a strong
wind, our pump driven by the
Aermotor with a suction of
eight feet and a force height
of twenty-five feet, will throw
10000 gallons of water per
hour. In an average Laie wind,
it will throw from five to six
thousand gallons per hour to a
height of thirty feet"
In connection with this tes-
timonial we wish to say that
Mr.. Noall was skeptical as to
the power to be obtained from
an Aermotor, he could not
think that by the use of wind
power he could accomplish
what had only been secured by
steam in the past. In this
letter Mr.. Noall voices the
sentiment of everyone else
using Aermotors; for irrigat-
ing purposes, it beats the
world in economical purposes.
We would be pleased to sell
you one if you want water.

Japan and other points in the Pacific.
1t Is the key to the whole system. 1t
Is noticeable that Australian protest
has arisen against making New Cali
donia station on the line, because II
would render the line useless TO Great
Britain and her colonies in case OF
war. How much greater would be the
strategic Importance of Hawaii in that
respect? With Hawaii an American
possession, we would have our hand
on the key and our ear at the sOunder
of the entire Pacific cable system.
The moral is TO lay the line between
here and Honolulu, and then annex
Hawaii. We will then have command
OF the post and commercial routes as
we'll as the telegraphs of the Pacific,
and, sitting at the crossing of the
ways, can dominate the whole ocean
In a recent Australian paper we
find some statements regarding the
cost Of a cable from Australia to the
American coast, furnished by Sir
Audley Coote, a gentleman who has
been for several years identified with
this project
1.-The cable from Queensland to New
Caledonia has been laid 10y the SOciete
Franchise des Telegraphes Sous-Ma-
rims, company carrying on business
in Paris, and represented in Australia
by Mr.. Audley CoOte, MIC, of Tas-
mania. The announced object OF this
company is to lay a cable from Aus
tralia to North America by the fol-
lowing route: From Queensland to
New Caledonia, thence by Fiji, Samoa,
Tanning Island, and Honolulu to San
Francisco or Vancouver. Either of
the two last named places to be de-
cided upon by the Australian Govern
ments.
Definite proposals were made to
the Government of New South Wales
in March, 1892, by Mr.. Coote, who
wrote 1T is found to be absolutely
necessary that a guarantee of e12,000
a year must be secured to satisfy the
bondholders. The approximate cost
to complete the main cable is about
e2,000,000 $4,000, 000), upon which a
q sum equal to per cent. guarantee
will be most likely asked, which
means about 100000 $500, 000) a year,
of which Canada has promised to give
her share in proportion to population,
and the Government of Hawaii has
passed special Act of Parliament,
giving as her share an absolute sub
sidy of $4,000 a year. The King of
Samoa has given the absolute right
for landing cables into and out of that
archipelago, and we have every reason
to believe that England and Germany
will assist on behalf of that place to-
wards a guarantee. The authorities
of Fiji have recommended and asked
that the Imperial Government give
$4,000 year, and the last Congress of
the United States of America gave
$4,000 towards completing the survey
70 I,,1,
which was finished several months
ago.
Mr.. Coote makes the following
statement of the distances in nautical
miles (allowing per cent. for slack
to be traYersed by the Cables:

SATURDAY. DECEMBER 8, 1888.

THERE have been no new poll
teal developments here since the
departure of the steamer Oceanic
on the 9TH inst, and quiet pre-
walls throughout the group. An
nexationists are confident that
their cause will receive an Impair
tial hearing and be warmly es-
poused by the American people,
and that in the end it will win
while the royalists are greatly de-
pressed at the turn that affairs
have taken against them and the
hopes that they were encouraged
from Washington to entertain.
The next mail, due on the Ala
media, December 21st, is looked for
with much interest both by the
Provisional Government, and also
by Minister Willis, who expects
definite instructions regarding his
future course. AS Congress will
have met and probably has taken
preliminary steps concerning the
Hawaiian situation, or at least
asked the President for informa-
tion on the subject, whatever adj
vices are received, will probably
reflect the sentiment of the Senate,
to which branch of Congress it be-
longs to advise the President.

The PACIFIC CABLE.
SHOULD BE KEN
IMMEDIATELY.
Its Pracficabilify and Necessity.

The recent successful laying of a
submarine cable between Queensland
and the French colony Of New Gale
donna by French company, forming
the first link in trans-Pscific line,
has attracted much attention, par
ticularly in Europe, to its extension
to Fiji, Samoa and Hawaii, and
thence to the American continent.
Comte de Douville Millefen. who is
Interested in this cable enterprise,
and who recently passed through on
the steamship Mariposa to Australia
and New Caledonia, stated to the
writer that the organization of a
company to extend the line to Van
couver would soon be completed
through the combined aid of French
and British capital. But" he added,
ait is my firm belief that San Fran
cisco, which is the leading CONNER
cial entrepot on the western coast of
America, where centers by far the
larger part of the trans-Pacific com
merce, is the natural and best ter
minus for the cable, and should be
selected. If the merchants of San
Francisco will, therefore, wake up to
the Importance of this enterprise and
subscribe literally to its capital, they
can secure its being laid to that port,
which would undoubtedly add largely
to its value as an investment, and to
the immediate success of the long
desired enterprise"
This is the opinion of French
gentleman of large experience, and
there Is no doubt that his views are
sound. 1t only remains for the
wealthy men of San Francisco and
California to move In this matter and
secure to themselves what rightfully
belongs to them now, while the OPP
portunity is offered.
There have been several surveys
of the ocean bed of the Pacific made
during the past thirty-three years,
ard it may be well to refer briefly to
each. The first was in 1860 by Lieut..
Brooks, in the schooner Fennimore
Cooper, who found that no obstacle
existed to prevent the success OF the
undertaking. He surveyed from San
Francisco to Honolulu.
The second was made by Captain
(now AdmiraD Geo. E. Belknap, in
the United States ship Tuscarora, IN
1874. Starting from San Francisco,
he surveyed along the American
coast to Cape Flattery; thence, by
the Great Northern Circle route,
across the Pacific to Japan. Return
ing via the BONN Islands and Homo
lulu to San Francisco, he completed |
the fullest and most satisfactory and |
reliable survey of the Northern Pa
cific ocean bed that has ever been |
made. On.the northern route, near |
Japan, he found the ocean depth |
varied from 1000 to 1900 fathoms-a |
depth too great for successfully re-
pairiog cables when broken. The |
southern route, via the BONN Islands
and Honolulu, presented no obsta
cies. Some two or three years ago |
the Admiral published an account of |
this famous cruise, and expressed his
views In favor of cable very strong
ly. We copy few paragraphs fror,, :
his letter published In the HAw III
GAZETTE of August 4, 1891.

''It is impossible to lay cable
through the Pacific ocean from Aus
tralia to any part of North America
without landing at some place outside
the British sphere of influence. For
instance, Samoa, an archipelago under
the protection of Germany, America
and England: then again is Hawaii,
now an independent government. So
the cable going via New Caledonia
can do no possible harm to Australia,
for, in case of England being drawn
into war, Queensland could disconnect
the Pacific cable at any moment
should it be found necessary. Then,
again, if the press would but refer to
the Government dispatches printed in
all the GaZettes in the year 1854, they
would find that binding contract
had been entered into with all the
nations of the world to protect sub
marine cables. This contract was
signed in Paris in the year 1884, and
the Australian colonies are each
specially mentioned"
By the above table it will be seen
that the distance from Hawaii to Van
couver, including the slack, is 2675
miles; from Hawaii to San Francisco,
including slack, it is 2247 miles This
latter route is therefore shorter by
45S miles, and as the cable, when
laid, is estimated to cost $1,000 q
mile, the latter route can be laid for
$50, 900 less than tile Vancouver route
On the same estimate, the cost of lay
ing cable from Hawaii to Monterey
Bay will be $2,696,400.
For this last section Of the trans
Pacific cable, it is not necessary to
wait till the southern portion is com
pleted. 1t can and should be under
taken Immediately. The events that
have transpired here during the
present year demonstrate its neces-
sity. Had the line been in operation
since January last, tie press and earl
Gus government dispatches alone aoouEd
hare exceeded one hundred thousand dol
lars for tile current gear. 1t is thus
evident that the time is ripe for a
cable to be laid, with prospect of
fair returns from the date of its
completion. No route offers greater
inducements for a cable than this,
and the advantages may be briefly
enumerated as follows:
1.-The ocean bed between Homo
lulu and Monterey Bay presents no
obstacles. On the contrary, it offers
unsurpassed conditions, such as have
never been found for cable on any
route.
2.-The fact that the ocean bed
consists of ooze and mud throughout
this entire stretch of 2100 miles, into
which the cable will sink and remain
embedded and protected from ma
rine parasites, and from all external
influences, gives promise that it may
last for many years without calling
for repairs.
3-It is the shortest, cheapest and
best route from Hawaii to the Amer
lean mainland, and will cost half a
million dollars less than If laid to
Vancouver
As an investment it gives
promise of a small income of three
or four per cent. from the start, with
a prospective increase yearly, made
more certain whenever the lines to
Australia and China are completed.

Honolulu either to San Diego or to
San Francisco present no special diff
culties. On both lines, with the ex-
ception of one submarine elevation
found on each route, the descent of
the ocean bed from the coast of Cali
fornia to the Hawaiian Islands is gen.
tie and regular and the bottom most
favorable for the reception of cable.
The deepest water found on the San
Diego line was 1854 fathoms; on the
San Francisco line 3l15 fathoms-both
depths close to the Islands or some 800
miles only from Maui of that group.

is established between North America
and the Hawaiian Islands, extension
to other points in the Pacific will sure
