To raise upland rice cheaply and
without much hand labor you need now
ground or old fields which have grown
up in broomsedge, for on old lands the
grass is very difficult to keep out. This
land should be we'll broken and rows
laid of about three feet apart. Tho
grain should be planted on n small bed,

In selecting your seed be sure that you
get the white variety. In planting drop

Of seed will be sufficient to plant for n
very large family.
You begin your cultivation as soon as
the young plants will allow, by giving
it q hoelng in order to kill all grass thnt
may be up or coming up. AS for the
rest OF the cultivation, it can be done
chiefly with tho pillow, tho chief object
being to keep out the grass. One or two
more hoeings may be necessary, Ms the
case may require.
When the rice is ripe, which can DO

and by turning CT the stem, it should
be cut, tied into bundles and hung ont

Captain Peterson of the Makee
is quite indignant over the fable

his reporting strange schooner
off Hanqnaulu on his arrival in
port last night. He has been
bothered to death by Customs
officials and others for further in
formation. He says he saw no
foreign vessels whatever during
bis trip to Kauai.
There is good reason to believe
that the opium was landed on this
island, very close to this city, and
that it has all been distributed
where it belongs by this time.
The schooner is supposed to have
gone to Kauai and kept up lot
Of signalling by means of flashing
lights, ETC., on purpose to attract
attention. When this had been
accomplished the same thing was
done at Lanai and Maui, the OBJ
iect being to draw suspicion away
from Oahu in order to give those
in the ring chance to distribute
the opium while the suspicion
and search of the officials was
diverted elsewhere. This is very

replying to an address at Auck-
land delivered a striking lesson
upon the modesty that ought to
adorn public life. He said he
felt deeply the honor they had
paid him, and above all their
hearty words of welcome. He
would have been better pleased if
they had kept to vulgar fact, and
not INDUCED in exaggerated
praise. They might take ninety
nine per cent out Of what bad

Home Rule and in the cause Of

thing injured public men. He
hoped in New Zealand they did
not deal with their public men in
that style.

UNSKILFUL STREET
MAKING.

Every great rainstorm shows
that the making of streets without
any but haphozard engineering
has been an expensive business
for Honolulu. Throughout the
many changes of administration
since thoroughfares for carriages
were first laid out, street grading
has been bungled and drainage
regarded as of no account. Where
streets have been fairly well built
the work has in many cases been
foredoomed by the faulty grading
and utter lack of provision for
carrying off storm water. 1t
would have saved many thousand
dollars year if, say dozen years
ago, the street system had been
properly graded, and side drains
arched oyer with stone been con-
s,ructed. With all subsequent
extensions similarly constructed ,
there would not be the fearful
waste of material and labor that
has been caused by every freshet.
1t is high time that more scien-
tific method of street construction
should be adopted. The treasury
is not in condition to undertake
reconstruction and drainage OF
streets all over the town plot, but
Il there is anywhere that a speci
fic national loan could be invest
ed, with great and sure advan
tage for the future, it is in thi
department of public works,
