Dispatches from the state of Lonora,
Mexico, state that Archbishop Lopez
has issued an edict communicating
all members of the Masonic fraternity.
Nearly all of the highest officials in
the state and many of the most prom
inent citizens are members of the Ma
sonic order, and at the same time
many of them are deyout Catholics.
Consequently this sweeping edict has
spread CONSERVATION all over the
state. What action will be taken by
the gentlemen affected is not yet de-
termined. One Of the most promi-
nent Masons expressed himself as de-
termined to adhere to Masonry at all
hazards.

II Timely Topics
July 20, 1897.

"In time of peace prepare
for war" is an excellent adage,
and one which the United
States evidently believed in
when the new navy was built.
We in Hawaii have especial
reason to be thankful that in
times of peace such a magni-
ficent specimen of marine ar
chitecture as the battleship
Oregon was made ready for
such emergencies as the pres
ent, and should take the lesson
to heart, not alone in national
affairs but in those of the
household. Suppose the Japa-
iIese fleet should blockade Ho-
nolulu, for instance, we should
soon find ourselves run
ming short of lots Of little
household neceSSarieS other
than provisions.
This week we have one of
our windows filled with an as
sortment of articles necessary
in every kitchen. Buy them
today while you have. a chance.
Among them may be enumer-
ated chopping bowls, all sizes
and shapes, egg heaters, lemon
squeezerS, chopping knives in
several varieties, nutmeg
graters, gem ice shavers, but
ter moulds, fruit pickers,rolling
pins and bread boards.
Another useful novelty is
the family butter case which
just holds one roll; the butter
can be cut off as needed with
out moving it from the case.
See that your kitchen is
supplied with all these requi-
sites before the war breaks
out.

The increase of earnings, it is
explained, is due to the average
increase OF distance each pas
senger has been carried. The in.
crease in the receipts has not
been at the expense of the pas
sengers, as the average rate per
mile has decreased steadily since
the road was opened. The total
passenger traffic in 1893 was equal
to carrying S44.342 passengers
one mile, while in 1896 the traffic
was equal to carrying 1,325,059
passengers the same distance,
which at the same rate per mile
as charged in 1898 would amount
to 1873, 426.6l, instead of 30,993.5O,
the amount received.
One of the most important oper.
atoms of the company the past

DEVELOPMENT.

y
in full cry at the heels of Ben
jamin E. Dillingham;, who up til
that time had been known chiefly
as a successful hardware mer-
chant and an enthusiastic and no
less successful dairy proprietor
About a year previously Mr.
Dillingham; had ventured to make
known his faith in the develop
ment of agricultural land on this
island of Oahu-manifold in ex-
cess Of what was then protitably
cultivated in sugar, rice, bananas,
taro, etc.-and his belief that a
railway skirting the shores of the
- island would be the best agency
for sNGL- development as well as a
profitable y, enterprise in itself.
When he hal the temerity to
breach a practical scheme of rail
way construction ten years ago,
and went TO England at his own
expense to raise the capital, many
people regarded him as crank.
His project was as fruitful a
source of curbstone discussion as
the question of annexation is now,
producing just as great variety
of views and predictions express
co With an equal air of
infallibility. Owing to obstacles
that need not now be described,
Mr.. Dillingham; failed to float his
scheme in either the United
States or England. He came
home defeated but not daunted.
Some large landholders became
convinced of the merits of the
project, chief of them being Mark
p. Robinson, aud with basis of
large tracts of fertile land, hither-
to mostly utilized for pasture, the
Oahu Railway and Land Compa-
ny was organized. The Legisla.
ture granted a subsidy to the
railway, payable as the construc-
ton progressed. So much for the
genesis of the corporation just
named. Some particulars of its
present condition and prospects
are given below from the sixth re-
port to the stockholders just issued.
The railway, which was opened
from Honolulu to Manans, on
Pearl Harbor, a distance of about
10 miles, on July l, 1890, has now
a main line nearly "a miles in
length extending to Waianae, and
there are five miles additional in
branches and sidings. The divi-
sion from Eva sugar mill to Wal
amaze sugar mill, built in 1896, is
H. miles in length. 1t is proposed
TO have the line extended to Ka-
huku, a distance of 3S miles from
Waianae, by some time in 1898.
More than half the distance, or
the extension to Waialua, is under
contract to be completed this year.
The opening of the line to Kahu-
ku will thus tap the old sugar
plantation at Wsialua and the new
one at Kahuku, and besides will
touch extensive tracts OF land
highly suitable for sugar cane
cultivation and other branches of
tropical agriculture.
The gross earnings OF the com
pany increased from Sl05,926.lS
in 1892 to Sl72,232.37 in 1896.
The railway departments gross
earnings in 1896 were sll9,9lS,33,
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1897-07-26

two years, of S26,304.75 in gross
receipts of the ranch department,
while the land department shows
a falling off. The gross expenses
of the company increased from
S79,7l4.95, in 1892 to SS3,06963
in 1896, the railway departments
share being $64,s4l.93 in 1892 and
$6S, 14l.16 in 1896. From these
figures it will be seen that the
ratio of expense to income has
diminished in a degree that must
be gratifying to the stockholders.
The net gain of the company has
been S26,2ll.23 in 1892, $685.
81 in 1898, S52,293.S3 in 1894,
500, 724.17 in 1895, and SS9,162.74
in 1896.
Mention has been made of two
sugar plantations to be reached
by the extension to Kahuku. 1t
10 olso RI he stataa that the extern
sive new plantation of the Oahu
Sugar Company has been started
on the existing line in Eva dis
trict the present year. This is
the third large plantation that has
been started as direct conse-
quence of the operations of the
Oahu Railway and Land Compa-
ny, whose railway limo will on
reaching Waialua have connected
with two Aourishing old sugar
plantations. The report mentions,
among the new industries started
along the line of the road, the
Hawaiian Fruit and Packing
Company and the Sandwich Isl
and Honey Company. The can
ming company shipped 55 tons
of canned fruit in 1896. The
honey company control miles of
algeroba forest from which bees
gather superior quality of honey,
and, placing bee hives by the
thousand, may be expected to re-
port with return freight later.
Two thousand tons of pineapples
and other green fruits were car
rid to market by rail last year.
The growing demand for firewood,
sand and limerick has added con.
sidersbly to the freight tonnage.
An interesting comparative state
ment OF the freight hauled each
year, showing the rapid increase
in agricultural products along the
line, is given. In 1893 it was
24,91O tons; in 1894, 1886 tons;
in 1895, 3S,697 tons, and in 1896,
Sc, 430 tons. Sugar was carried in
1896 to the amount OF 1928 tons,
and fertilizer and fertilizer ma
terial 1900 tons.

toes and peas, and a patch OF onions
about as big as a grave" beetrOOt,
lettuce, turnipS, sweet potatoes and
other crops occupy the rest of the
area. The farmer examines his grow
ing crops every morning, just as an
engineer inspects his machinery, and
if anything is wrong he puts it right.
If a weed appears in the bean patch
he pulls it up; if a hill of potatoes or
anything else fails it is at once re-
planted. When he cuts down a tree he
always plants another. As soon as one
crop is harvested the soil is worked
over, manured, and forthwith reSOwn
to- another crop. 1t is estimated that
nine-tenths Of the agricultural land of

Trees For Fence Posts.

The fences upon the farms of Amer
lea have cost more than the value of
the stock which they are supposed to
enclose. There are progressive farm
erS who have abandoned fences en-
tirely, but there are only a few of
these. The most economical plan is to
do away with fences, keeping the cattle
in small enclosures the year round.
Dark, cool cellars are as desirable for
milk cows III the hot season and fly
time as during the severe cold of WIN
ter. 1t is surprising how far an acre
of corn Will go when fed green to cattle
during the summer also an acre of
clover.
But where fences are demanded, liv
ing trees are the cheapest and most de-
sirable Fruit trees can be made avail
able for this purpose. Wherever you
desire a permanent fence, plant a row
of rapid growing fruit trees, eight to
ten feet apart in the row. When the
trees have become large enough to
sustain wire. wires can be attached,
and a permanent fence secured.
The reader will see at a glance how
such fences as these will beautifv a
farm. Since the trees will bear fruit
even better than those planted closely
in an orchard. they will also be a
profitable feature.
Where, for any reason, fruit trees
are not desirab BILE; as. for instance,
where fruit will not succeed. the Rus
sian mulberry and poplar will be de-
sirable. l desire particularly to speak
of the Lombardy and Carolina poplars,
since they are among the most rapid
growing trees, and are sold by nurser-
les at very low prices. The poplar
grows from cuttings as freely as the
currant; therefore it will not be diff
cult for any one to secure trees at a
nominal price. When three or four
years old a poplar, in good soil. will
be large enough to have wires attached,
and to he made into fence.
The average farmer does not consider
the policy of beautifying his farm.
You and l can see a farm which has
been made attractive by the iudiciOus
planting of fruit. or other trees. either
along the roadside, about the dwelling
or through the farm, as indicated by
these living tree fences, adds to the
farmers wealth, and to the salable
value of the farm

Saving Expense.

The United States might do we'll to
take lessons in economy of their neigh
Dor Canada, in the matter of expense
in conducting their agricultural col
leges and experimental stations, as it
appears that Canadians operate their
stations more economically than the
United States. There are five agricul-
tural experiment stations controlled by
the Dominion government and one by
the province of Ontario. The five Do
minion stations cost an average of S15.-
600 year and the Ontario station gets
along on $4,000. The 50 stations in
the United States cost an average of
$4,000 year.
In conducting farmers institutes the
Canadians again seem to excel the
states in economy. During the season
of 1896 Ontario held 666 Institutes Of
one to two days each, with an averaek
attendance of 154 farmers, at an aver
age cost of SIS for each institute In
the states the number of Institutes
varied from six in Virginia to 206 in
New York, and the average attendance
ranged from 90 in Rhode Island to 494
in Wisconsin. The average cost of each
institute ranged from $40 in Georgia TO
$l32 in Wisconsin. Each institute
lasted one or two days. In Ontario.
institute lecturers received $3.50 per
day and expenses; in the states their
fees range from 81 in Maine to so to $50
per day in Rhode Island New York
pays 50 TO $40 per day, Virginia 50 to
800 California $3.50 and most of the
other states 81 10 s.

Ripening Cream Properly.

bulletin from the Iowa experiment
station makes the following state
ments in regard to ripening cream:
1T would seem from experiments
that the right degree of acidity largely

essential feature in making good butter
d, ia. tre cream should be frequently
stirred during the ripening process, as
many of the Tactic acid germs are ac-
rObic and many require free oxygen
Where the cream is warmer than the
surrounding atmosphere, odors are
given off; where the cream is cooler,
odors are taken on. We have found the
hest results TO be obtained by quick
ripening, with frequent stirring. Our
highest favored butter was produced
when the acidity was about 81 and the
cream ripened at a temperature above
20 degrees. The writer could not say
that 81 would do for all localities, as no
experiments have been conducted out
side of the college creamery. We have
found no difficulty in changing the
flavor of butter from one to three
points where the same cream was di-
vided and ripened to different degrees
of acidity at various temperatures. 1t
was found when the cream was rip
ened to an acidity above 40 that it
took on a bitter flavor The same re-
suits were noticeable when the cream
was ripened for a long period at a low
temperature without much stirring.
Low temperatures seem to be favor

Sta BILE Absorbents.

Massachusetts Agricultural Expert
mental Station: The best absorbents
for use in stables are comparatively
little known. 1t is a fact, however
that the low grade potash salts. es-
pecially kainit, which is sold by all
agricultural dealers, and kieserit
(Which is not so common), if sprinkled
in the stable daily or on the manure
pile, will absorb the ammonia or nit
rogen, preventing its escape while also
adding considerable potash to the man
ure pile. Kainit contains about 10
pounds of actual potash to the hundred
weight. Acid phosphate is also a good
absorbent if not too wet. and where
the fine ground rock phosphate can be
had cheaply, it may be freely used in
the stable. The decomposition in the
manure pile may assist in making the
phosphoric acid of this raw product
available. Fine ground land plaster or
gypsum (sulphate of lime) is also p
splendid absorbent and can be had al
most everywhere. Where manures arc
TO be applied to land that seems to re-
quire the use of lime, plaster should be
freely used as an absorbent in the
stable. These absorbents keen the
stable free from odor, making them
healthful and also assist in preventing
the manure from heating.
