HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA

HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA.
At this time of the year cold is
very easily contracted, and if left to
run its course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to re-
suit in that dread disease, pneumonia.
We know of no better remedy to cure
a cough or cold than Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. We have used it quite
extensively and it has always given
satisfaetion.-Ola Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is
known to be a certain preventive of
pneumonia. Among the many thou
sands who have used it for cold and
la grippe, we have never yet learned
of a single case having resulted in
pneumonia. Persons who have weak
lungs or who have reason to fear an
attack of pneumonia, should keep the
remedy at hand. For sale by all drug

SAN JOSE, Cal, Dec. John y.
Heron, the electrician, tells the air
ship story which some believe, while
others credit it to fertile magma
ton. Heron is the patentee of the
electric platinum speaking apparatus
and saws he went to San Francisco last
Thursday by appointment to see the in
ventor of the airship apparatus whose
name he pledged to conceal Heron
adds:
'We went on horseback to point
on Sandy Beach, where the airship
was We got aboard and rose very
high. We travelled westward and be-
fore day break saw lights which the
inventor said were Honolulu lights.
We then turned east and at dusk Sat
urday evening finished two days cruise
and landed near the starting point.
The air ship rose by means of two pro-
pellers, the movement being noiseless
and swift. 1t can be stopped and held
stationary in the air and descends as
| lightly as a feather. The motive power
is neither steam nor electricity"

An entertainment which was full of
merit and succeeded in pleasing a
good sized audience was that given by
the Kawaiahoa Seminary Saturday
evening at the opera house. The con-
cert was in two parts: songs by the
entire seminary chorus and a cantata
"Crowning the Fairy Queen"
In the first part the songs given
were The Valley of Chamouni" "Old
Folks at Home," Boat Song" Lei
POM Moi" Longing" and Fairies"
There were about seventy voices in the
concert. The girls were all CARRIED in
white dresses and presented very
pretty sight.
The cantata~which was in two acts,
kind ever presented in Honolulu by
children. The scenery on the stage
represented forest with the queens
throne in the center. Miss Flora
Smith was queen, Miss Emilia Lima
was princess and Samuel Mahelona
took the part of the prince.
There were about thirty fairies in the
scene The principal parts were per-
formed by leila Iinia, Oita Havana,
Hannah Kealiha, Mabel Kinney, Eva
Kinney and Elizabeth Trask. Four
teen girls dressed in white waists and
blue skirts with picks strung over
their shoulders, took the part of min
ers. The leaders were: Lizzie Bungo
Lucy Kealaau. Julia Keliiaa, Fainar
Oni, Mark Kuii and Nellie Kamana
The mermaids were the older girls OF
the seminary. They were clothed in
white with their hair down. The
singing in the cantata was excellent
Miss Hammond, who instructed the
girls, may well feel proud of her eff
forts. Professor Berger's orchestra
furnished music.

Modern Methods on the Farm.

Skill in the trades is always we'll
paid for, and the same is true of farm
ing. There are too many unskilled
farmers-men who refuse to change
their methods and are behind the age.
Farmers can learn more about farm
ing, as there is always something new
coming to light. The average per acre
of the cereal crops in this country is
ridiculously small. which indicates that
formers. as a class, are far behind in
the science of agriculture. Many of
them refuse to accept the truth until
it is forced upon them by their more
advanced neighbors.. The first duty Of
farmers is to know the breeds of stock.

The Maggie Murphy Potato.

One of the most popular potatoes Of
recent introduction is the Maggie Muir
ply, and 1t has been accepted as first
class by many of the largest growers.
1t is of the shapeliest form, and even in
drought seasons its perfect shape is
retained. It is claimed to be the great
est yielder ever introduced. 1t bears
its tubers very close to the plant, Of
the largest size, averaging in weight
round each. 1t is perfect keeper
Both skin and flesh are of extreme
whiteness. The foliage is heavy and
OF dark green color; vines strong and
vigorous. The tubers set while the
vines are quite small, but do not ripeD
until late. This gives all the advan-
tages of continuous growth for the en-
tire season.-Denver Field and Farm.

This is not all the difference in fav-
or of kaffir corn. You cut and shock
it in the fall when it is cool. The
leaves do not dry up and blow
away like corn leaves.
In conclusion, will say the farmer
that wants to make farming pay
should raise kaffir corn. 1t is going to
be the redemption of Kansas and lead
her farmers to prosperity. 1t will
grow on land that is too thin to raise
any other crop, and will make some
thing always. 1t will make your
pork, butter, beef, poultry, eggs and
will make bread and hominy for you.
There is light ahead for the farmer
that will raise kaffir corn. Plant a
field of it, enough to feed your stock
if corn were TO fail. Plant it any
how, you need it in you business.
Plant it, and when the dry weather
and hotwinds have withered and dried
up your corn, and you have begun to
think that your hopes are blasted, go
and take walk through your beau
tiful green and still flourishing kaffir
corn field. 1t is fine for the blues.
You will be cheered up, and will de-
clare that "next year L am going to
raise more of this king of crops"

CLEANING The PLOW.
How to Remove Rust In Three or Four
Applications.

How to Remove Rust In Three or Four
Applications.
Buy from n drug store four ounces
of sulphuric acid and pour it carefully
into q pint of water. Do not spill u
drop of it on the flesh or clothing, as
it will burn like fire. Cork the bottle
tightly. When ready to use, pour a
little on the rusty surface, and let it
soak in; when dry give another coat.
If the plow is very rusty three or four
applications may be required. Scour
off with fine sand and water. Rub dry
with cloth. Rub over the steel mix
ture of crude petroleum and lard,
equal parts. Set the plow upon board
floor in barn, free from rain or snow.
A plow thus treated will scour bright
after round or two, and, with a good
team, the furrow will turn over with
out a break. When the plow is being
cleaned is a proper time to examine
the nuts and bolts to see that tLey are
all screwed up, and that the threads Of
bolts are not so much worn as to work
loose. It is of advantage to have few
plain and cutter points and dozen bolts,
such as bolts for points, landscape and
mold boards. - Massachusetts, Plough

THE HORSE MARKET.

One of our horse dealers has re-
ceived letter from q Chicago buyer
which we are glad to print for the
reason that it seems to indicate better
prices for common horses in the near
future. 1t says:
The market this week has been bet
ter than any time this year, for all
drivers and draft horses. We have
had number of eastern and export
buyers who would have bought sew
eral car loads of good horses more
than were on the market. Chunks
have. sold at from $50 to sos, an ad-
vance of from $40 to SIS, while any
kind of fair drivers have brought
about the same price, which is fully
SIS per head above prices of month
ago. Draft horses have been in good
demand at strong prices, as have
good strong mares. The spring trade
has opened up in the east and our ad-
vice to shippers is to take advantage
of the situation.
Southern stuff is selling at steady
prices with an advance of from S. to
SO per head on the better ones, for
which the eastern buyers are bidders.
The mule market. is glutted with
every class and shippers have lost
heavily. We would advise holding
your mules until the mark ct is clean

The knot prevents choking Now tie
the end of the rope to the ring. and you
ere ready.
Bunch the horses by throwing out
some feed in large yard. Have an as
sistant hold one end of the rope. BY
moving carefully, you can soon roose
the colt. Let him circle around until
well tired out, before going up to his
head. AS soon as possible take two
half bitches Gig. u around his nose;
take the bend of the lower hitch, pass
it under the other from the top down
wards, then up over the ears, loosen
ing the rope in hand as you go. An
excellent halter, capable of holding any
thing, is thus formed Gig. p. If, after
being driven around for some time,
he proves stubborn and will not follow,
take piece of clothesline, double it,
tie knot on the doubled end, leaving
enough rope to slip down over his hind
quarters almost to the hooks (the knot
remaining over his coupling), run the
two free ends-one on each side of his
neck-thTough the halter, and on feel
ing the pull behind he will move. Never
strike him, and as soon as he yields
little, pet him. If the dams are worked,
the best way is to slip on halter when
the colt is only few days old, and tie
alongside the mother; but if still un-
broken, when there is lots of snow on
the ground is a good time to work with
the dams, as the colt is not liable to be
hurt when it throws ITSELF. Wilson,
