Rotten Fine Straw ms Fertilizer.


QUESTION. q branch which runs
through my farm is large deposit of
swamp muck, composed of rotten pine
straw. leaves and other vegetable mat
ter, mixed with soil washed in from sur.
sounding land. Is this valuable as a
FERTILIZER? If SO how shall I use it?'
ANSWER. Such a deposit as you de.
scribe is valuable ii you can utilize it by
short haul. The value of muck lies in
the nitrogen and organic matter, the
amounts of potash and phosphoric acid
being insignificant. The nitrogen be.
comes more quickly available by com.
posting the muck, which brings about
fermentation. By this means, also, the
organic matter is converted into humus,
SO important to the growth of all plants.
1t Will be best for you to throw the
muck out on the bank and let it become
dry before composing. Either of the
three following formulas will give you
good compost:

The "Harlequin" Bug.

QUESTION: am large grower of
turnip and mustard seed. In the spring
before they ripen much damage is done
the plants by spotted bug. What is
1t? Can you give q remedy?
ANSWER. bug that Injuries your
crops is without doubt the Harlequin"
bug. the worst insect enemy of all cru.
ciferous plants. They live through the
winter hidden under leaves or trash of
any kind. They are ready to deposit
their eggs from the middle to last of
March, and then in from four to six
days these hatch out brood of Larvae,
which at once commence their destruc.
tive work by piercing the leaves and
sucking the sap. The leaf thus pierced
soon willis and dies. These insects are
shy and timid, and upon the approach
of person try to hide behind anything
that will conceal them. They are very
difficult to contend with, as they cannot
be reached by any of the arsenical poi
sons. All rubbish under which the bugs
may take refuge during the winter
should be carefully burned, and infested
fields or gardens should have clean cul-
ture. Hand picking into pans contain
ing water or kerosene is often resorted
to as aremedy. Pyrethrum in decoction
or powder, and kerosene emulsion may
prove effectual when the bugs are young.
Cabbage growers plant mustard be.
tween the rows of cabbages. which be.
ing preferred by the bugs attracts them
in large numbers. when they are effect
usily destroyed with pure kerosene.
Possibly you might adopt this plan sue.

are sowed in drills. hope you will try
it and report result to this department..

represent the United States. They have
been diligent in their effort to secure the
concurrence and cooperation of Euro

time II has been repeatedly asserted that
in no event could the entity OF Hawaiian
statehood cease by the passage Of the s-
lands under the domination or influence of
another power than the United States.
Under these circumstances the logic OF
events required that annexation, before
offered but declined, should, In the Ripe

result Of strengthening the ties that bind

That treaty was unanimously ratified
without amendment by the senate and
president OF the republic OF Hawaii on the
10th Of September last. and only awaits
the favorable action of the American SEN
ate to effect the complete absorption of the
Islands into the domains OF the United
States. What the conditions of such a

ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.
Urges the Senate to Accomplish the
Union.

BY special message dated the 10th day
Of June last, ! laid before the senate OF
the United States treaty, signed that day
by the plenipotentiaries of the United
States and of the republic OF Hawaii, hav-
ing for Its purpose the Incorporation of
the Hawaiian islands as an integral part
of the United States and under its SOW
ereignty. The senate having removed
the injunction of secrecy although the
treaty is still pending before that body,
the subject may be properly referred to
in this message, as the necessary action
of congress is required 90 determine by
legislation many details of the eventual
union, should the fact of annexation be
accomplished, as believe 1t should be.
While consistently dsavowing from a
very early period any aggressive policy
OF absorption in regard to the Hawaiian
group, a long series of discussion through
three-duarters Of century has pro-
claimed the vital interest Of the United
States In the Independent life of the
islands and their intimate commercial de-

THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Room for Further Improvement.
which VIII He Made.

The important branch of our govern
ment known as the civil service. the prae-
tical Improvement of which has long been
a subject of earnest discussion. has of
late years received increased legislative
and executive approval. During the past
few months, the service has been placed
on a still fiimer basis of business meth
DDS and personal merit. While the right
Of our veteran soldiers to reinstat 4ment
in deserving cases has been asserted. dis
missals for merely political reasons have
been carefully guarded against. the exam
nations for admittance to the service
enlarged and at the same time rendered
less technical and more practical, and a
distinct advance has been made by giving
a hearing before dismissal upon all cases
where incompetency is charged or de-
mand is made for removal of officials in
any of the departments.
This order has been made to give the ac-
cused his right to be heard without in
any way impairing the power of removal,
which should always be exercised in cases
of inefficiency or incompetency, and which
is one of the safeguards of the civil SER
vice reform system, preventing stagna-
tion and deadwood and keeping every
employe keenly alive to the fact that Sc
curity of tenure depends not on favor,
but on his own tested and carefully
watched record of service. Much, of
course, still remains to be accomplished
before the system can be made reasonably
perfect for our needs. There are places
now in the classified service which ought
to be exempted and Others unelassihed
may properly be included. l shall not hes
itate to exempt cases which l think have
been improperly included in the classified
service or include those which, in my judg-
ment will best promote the public SER
vice. The system has the approval of the
people and it will be my endeavor to up
hold and extend it.
1 am forced by the length of this mes
sage to omit many important references
to affairs of the government with waich
congress will have to deal at tie present
session. They are fully discussed in the
departmental reports. to all of which /
invite your earnest attention.
The estimates OF the expenses Of the
government by the several departments
should have your careful scrutiny While
congress may find it an easy task to re-
duce the expenses of the government, 1t
should not encourage their increase.
These expenses will, in my Judgment ad-
init of a decrease in many branches of
the government without injury to the pub
lie service 1t is a commanding duty to
keep the appropriations within the re-
ceipts Of the government and thus prevent
deficit. WILLIAM MCKINLEY.

CunA AND SPAIN.
Attitude Of the Administration in
the Present Rebellion.

The most important problem with which
this country Is now called upon to deal
that pertaining to It's foreign rela-
tions. concerns It's duty toward Spain and
the Cuban tnsurreelon. Problems and
conditions more or less In common with
those now existing have confronted this
government al various times IN the past
The story OF Cuba for many years has
been one OF unrest; growing discomfort;
an effort toward the larger enjoyment Of
liberty and self-control; OF organized re-
slstnnce 10 the mother country or oppres-
sion and warfare and OF Intellectual set
tlemcnt TO be followed by renewed re-
volt. For no enduring period since thu
enfranchisement OF the continental pos
sessions OF Spain in the Western contl-
nent has the condition OF Cuba or the
policy Of Spain toward Cuba not caused
concern to the United States.
The prospect from time TO time that
the weakness of Spalns hold upon the
island and the political vicissitudes and
embarrassments OF the home government
might lead TO the transfer OF Cuba TO n
continental power called forth. between
1923 and 1860. various emphatic declara-
tions OF the United States to permit no
disturbance of Cuba's connection with
Spain unless In the direction OF independ-
enoe or acquisition by the United States

he part OF this government.
The revolution which began In 1865
lasted for 10 years despite the strenuous
efforts OF the successive peninsular gov
ernments to suppress Il, Then, as now,
the government OF the United States tes-
titled Its grave concern and offered Its aid
to put an end to bloodshed in Cuba. The
overtures made by General Grant were
refused, and the war dragged on. entail
ing great loss of life and treasure, and
increased injury to American interests
besides throwing enhanced burdens OF
neutrality upon this government In 1875
peace was brought about by the truce
OF Zanjon, obtained by negotiations be-
tween the Spanish commander, Martinez
de Campos, and the insurgent leaders.
Civilized Code of War DiAregarded.
The present insurrection broke out in
February, 1905. 1t is not my purpose, at
this time, to recall Its remarkable Increase
or TO characterize its tenacious resistance
against the enormous forces massed
against II by Spain. The revolt and the
efforts to subdue II carried destruction to
every quarter OF the island, developing
wide proportions and defying the efforts
OF Spain for It's suppression. The civilized
code OF war has been disregarded. no
less 10 by the Spanlards than by the
Cubans. The existing conditions cannot
but fill this government and the Ameri-
can people with the gravest apprehen-
sion There IL no desire on the part OF
our people to profit by the misfortunes
OF Spain. We have only the desire to
see the Cubans prosperous and contented,
enjoying that measure OF self-control

effort to extend our foreign commerce. To
this end our merchant marine should be
improved and enlarged. We should do our
full share of the carrying trade of the
world. We do not do IT now. We should
not be laggard any longer. The inferi-
ority OF our merchant marine Is justly hui

means. should aid in making our ships
familiar visitors at every commercial port
of the world, thus opening UP new and
valuable markets to the surplus products

CENTRAL AMERICAN STATES.
Representation of Our Government
In the Greater Republic.

AS to the representative Of this govern
ment to Nicaragua. Salvador and Costa
Rlca, have concluded that MIR. william
L. Merry, confirmed as minister OF the
United States to the states Of Nicaragua,
Salvador and Costa Rica, shall proceed
to San Jose, Costa Rica, and there tempo
rsrily establish the headquarters Of the
United States to those three states. l
took this action for what regarded as the
paramount interests of this country. IL
was developed. upon an investigation by
the secretary of state, that the government
of Nicaragua, while not unwilling TO re-
ceive Mr. Merry in his diplomatic capac-
ity. was unable to do so on account of the
compact concluded June 20, 1895. whereby
that republic and those OF Salvador and
Honduras. forming what is known as the
Greater Republic OF Central America, had
surrendered to the representative diet
thereof their right TO receive and send
diplomatic agents. The diet was not will
ing TO accept him because he was not ac-
credited to that body. l could not ac-
credit him to that body because the appro-
pration law of congress did not permit.
Mr.. Baker. the present minister at Mani
aqua, has been directed to present MS
letters OF recan.
Mr.. Godfrey Hunter has likewise been
accredited 10 the governments Of Gaute-
mala and Honduras, the same as his pred
ecessor. Guatemala is not a member OF
the Greater Republic of Central America,
but Honduras is. Should this latter gov
ernn.ent decline to receive him, he has
been instructed to report this fact to his
government and await its further instruc-
tions.
The Nicaragua Canal.
A subject Of large importance to our
country and increasing appreciation on the
part of the people Is the completion OF the
great highway of trade between the At
lantic and Pacific known as the Nicara-
qua canal Its value to American com
merce is universally admitted. The COM
mission appointed under date of July q
last ito continue the surveys and exam

March 2, 1855, in regard to the proper
route, feasibility and cost of construe-
tion of the Nicaragua canal, with view
of making complete plans for the entire
work of construction of such canal" is
now employed in the undertaking. In the
future / shall take occasion to transmit
to congress the report OF this commission,
making at the same time such further
suggestions as may then seem advisable.
