:. AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.
Pruning Currant. Bushes.

It isvery hard to keep currant bushes
thrifty and productive when anywhere
from six to ten or dozen sprouts are
allowed to grow in each hill. These
conditions are just right for the cur
rant worm to do great deal of injury
before he can be found and killed with
hellebore. We always cut out all but
three or four shoots. Though many
advise training the bushes in tree form,
only one in place, two, three, or even
four shoots will bear enough more to
pay for the extra trouble.

Country Roads.

For one hundred years or more news
paper philosophers and political econo-
mists have vainly tried toAconvince the
tillers of soil that they, more than any
other class of people, were directly,
vitality and pecuniarily interested in
making and maintaining country high
ways over which heavy loads and light
ones could be drawn without the ex-
penditure of an unnecessary amount OF
costly strength.
The farmers studied tax rates and
either would not hear or would not
heed any statistics whose bearing was
less immediate, though not less obvi-
Gus. The vast majority of rural roads
continued to be stretches of dirt, made
into dust by the sun, into mud by the
rain, and always enforcing the truth
that the distance between farm and q
market depends more on the nature OF
the road connecting them than on the
number of miles separating them

Rib-Grassor Narrow-Leaved P1antain.
d. B. D. Halsted, of the New Jer-
sey Experiment Station, writes: One
of the worst of meadow and pasture
weeds is Plantago lanceolata, popularity
known as joint weed. 1t seeds album
dainty and the seed is of just the right
size and weight to go with clover seed,
and is the weed seed nowadays most
frequently mixed with that of clover.
A person who is looking for it in clover
seed will at once recognize the pest by
the oval shape of the brown seed. 1t
is longer than clover seed and has q
mark upon one side that reminds one
of q miniature boat with single per-
son in the centre. This weed takes q
firm grip upon the soil by mass Of
roots springing from a large crown.
This plant lives on from year to year,
sending up new, long, lance-shaped
leaves each season. The crown stores
up much nourishment and when the
land containing the plantain is plowed
these crowns are like so many bulbs
that remain alive for long time. In
short, the plant is easy to introduce
into soil and hard to eradicate from
it. Thorough culture with some hoed
crop is the most effective method oil
clearing the land of this rib-grass.
The English plautain is so named
because it came to us from across the
sea. It has been introduced in some
places as forage plant, the seed be-
ing sown for pasturage for sheep. This
was serious mistake, as many farm
ers have fully learned by sad expert
ence. Look we'll to the clover
and grass seed and if already il
the grass land get it out by cultivation
and hoe, of course not letting the pest
form any seed.

BARGAINS in Crockery
come, not from overbuying,
through breaking sets for Gus
toners. Odd pieces have less
commercial value, to us, than
full sets, but to the purchaser
there is no difference.
We have vast number of
broken tea sets, odd cups and
saucers, breakfast, dinner and
tea plates and glassware. These
have been massed together to
form the foundation for a bar
gain week. The prices are q
third off cost and for cash their
will be discount; that means
that the goods will go to every
one for the same average price,
for the reason that with the re-
duction and discount, the prices
will be too low to admit of loss
of interest accumulating on time
accounts.
This sale will last one week
beginning Monday, February %.
The opportunity to secure this
class of goods at such low prices
will not occur again in a twelve
month, and ladies who wish tc
fill up the vacant spaces in theil
pantries should avail themselves
of it.

The Dimond Case.

Mrs. Carrie Dimond was on the
stand during the session Of the
Court on Saturday last. The cross
examination was TO have been re-
sumed this morning. Owing to
the indisposition OF the witness she
was unable to be present. The at
torneys for Mr.. Dimond objected to
a postponement, and were allowed
to call such witnesses in rebuttal,
whose testimony had no bearing on
Mrs. Dimond's evidence.
The Court, attended by attorneys,
clerks, and Mr.. Dimond, drove to
Waikiki, where an inspection OF the
residence of the contesting couple
took place.
After the Court returned Frank
Unger, James and Joseph Mcguire,
David KAPPA and George Bailey
were called as witnesses.
The examination of Bailey was
continued this afternoon, and he
will be followed by Rev. Alex. Mac
kintosh, O. H, Eldredge and others.

neys for Mrs, Dimond for number
OF prominent citizens, among whom
were p. @. Jones, Serene e. Bishop,
and others, 1t is understood, how
ever, that this step was rsconsidered
later on and the subp@nas with

We have received ex Routen-
beck enough goods from English
packing houses to stock any two
stores on the islands-our trade
demands large purchases be-
cause English packets do not
come in as often as steamers.
We believe we buy right be-
cause our California house takes
the same interest in our affairs
as we do. The markets are
watched as closely as it is posi-
BILE and when goods are down
we buy largely as we may buy
well. You know the result; we
sell lower for spot cash than
