 The roads and drives on the orchard are In the best possible condition and the orchard itself is beautiful and seems to be in highest vigor. notwith- standing the extreme dry weather. It is really wonderful how fine the peaches now ripening are, notwith- standing all adverse circumstances.
 The crop Is small, which in part ac- counts for the fine quality, and the va riety now ripening is the Mountain Rose, which Is by many accounted the best of all peaches.
 The plums are a sight to behold, the crop is so large and the trees bend 50 gracefully or bear up so bravely under their heavy load. Picking of peaches began at the orchard yesterday and as the crop is so small but few will be sent off In car lots this season. and consequently there will be better op- portunities for the lovers of home grown fruit in New Britain and Meri- den. Peaches, plums, pears and apples are all on sale at the orchard now. and the list next week will include grapes as well.-New Britain Herald.

Important Meeting of the Board to be
 Held This Evening.
 There Is some doubt whether the iin- provements on the High school build ing will be complete by September 4, which is the day set for the opening of the schools. There has been some de- lay in the iron work, which was caused by the recent strike. If the building Is not complete at, that time the time ca n be utilized in exAfhinations and sched- uling and storing away supplies.
 Tnesmeeting, of the board of educa- tion this Monday evening will un- doubtedly decide many important mat ters, including the question of whether the commercial department of the high school. shall be transferred to the Boardman Manual Training school building or not. One of the High school teachers, Miss Gertrude F. Adams, was married this week at Chautauqua and will remove to Manitoba. She taught Latin and English, and was of the first year class, receiving salary of one thousand dollars per annum. She taught in room 14
 Isaac Thomas, the principal of the High school, has returned from Penn sylvania and is busy at his office every morning, making final preparations for the opening of the school.

JANUARY ZZu, 1884,
Hon. WIN. G. IRWIN, Honolulu, IL 1.
DEAR SIR:-1n reply to yours OF ii :
18th inst. regarding the National Cane
shredder furnished by the UNIVERSAL
Mill Co. of New York, and erected by
the Hilo Sugar Co. this past season,
would beg TO say, that it has now been
in operation day and night during the past
three weeks working on plant cane, and
also hard ratoons, and it is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more l see of
it's capabilities, the better pleased l am
that put it in, as | am satisfied that it
will repay the original outlay in a short
time, in saving of labor, higher eXtrac-
ton, etc.
IJ is shredding from $50 to 400 tons OF
cane every % hours with the greatest
ease, and it could shred much larger
quantity if necessary. 1t delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform feed
to the three roller mill, which receives it
without the intervention Of any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill of a
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
liability of broken shafts, gearing, etc.
There is a saving of four (4) men daily
on the mill, as only one man Is required
to regulate the amount of cane delivered
by the carrier to the shredder. It has
increased the extraction from 4 to
B per cent.
The economical use of steam is gene
rally serious consideration in adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
boiler power is taxed to its highest limit
as it was in this mill, and any increased
demand necessitated an additional boil
er. But find that the shredder and the
three roll mill engines combined use no
more steam than the three roll mill
engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more of it,
and owing to the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The vegas from the shredded cane
makes superior fuel, and the fremen
have less difficulty in naint tanning uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.
| will be pleased to ave Il call from
parties interested, as it is necessary to
sef the machine at WORK to tully appre
ciate it's capabilities
l remain, very truly yours,

National Cane Shredder

PRICE OF WOOL GOES UP,
EFFECT OF OUR NEW TARIFF LAW
IN THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC.
REMARKABLE STIMULATION OF THE
INDUSTRY HAS RESULTED.
HEAVY ADVANCES IN THE MARKETS
OF THAT COUNTRY.
Trade With America Expected to Reach
s6,OOO,OOO This Year.

The Argentine minister and the Free
Press seemed to be particularly joyful
over the. effect of the German tariff
law on the wool industry of the South
American nation. The industry there
was greatly stimulated; there has come
q great advance in the markets there;
they expect to send six million dollars
worth of their wool to the United
States this year to displace just that
much of the product of our own farm
ers. This great good to the Argentine
people is in consequence of their add
ing the duty they had to pay under
the Mckinley bill to the price of their
wool.
Under the Mckinley bill this differ
ence in price was paid into the U. s.
treasury by the Argentine wool grow
ers. Under the new tariff law it is
paid by the American consumer, and
goes into the pockets of the Argentine
wool grower.
This is bully fun for the Argentine
Republic, but hard on the American
republic. The average American citi-
zen had reason to believe that congress
was legislating for this republic and
not for the Argentine Republic.
The Democratic party will carry
the Argentine Republic by large
majority, and that is all it will carry.

The Furniture Factories.

Democratic papers have recently
been making the most Of the slight i'm
provement in business which followed
the adjournment of the Democratic
congress. The relief which the people
felt from the awful strain of uncer.
OF business. This has been unduly
magnified into return of prosperity
attendant upon the passage of the
Wilson G Gorman tariff bill. Democratic
papers in Michigan have given especial
prominence to the fall trade in furni-
ture, which results entirely from the
fact that the retail dealers of the
country have been laying in their
winter stocks and not from Demo-
cratic legislation favorable to trade.
To offset the Democratic assertions
that the furniture trade is booming
and the factories are running on full
time and to the extent of their capac-
ity, it is necessary only to cite few
pertinent facts developed by recent
factory inspection. Statistics from the
Michigan labor bureau show that about
four per cent of the factories in the
state are engaged in the manufacture
of furniture. In the 72 furniture fac
tories inspected up to October Is, en-
ployment is given to 6,044 persons, an
average of "a employees in each factory.
If these 72 plants were running their
full time and capacity they would be
employing $3.50 hands, or per cent
more than at present. These same 72
factories are losing 444 hours, or 44N
days each week by loss of time, as COM
pared with running full time.
Cold facts always knock the bottom
out of Democratic fancies.
