Tell il to Pap Reed.

The proposition to vote $4,000 ior
the erection of new Jail and Jailer'
residence in Wellington, will probably
carry by 300 votes. In twenty.seven
of the fOrty-fOur precincts in the
county, the proposition secured a
majority of 10. Practically all of the
precincts where a heavy vote against
the jail was looked for, have been
heard from. Nothing is to be
feared from the seventeen precincts
yet to come in. The majority in
favor of the proposition may run up
to $50. The vote is very light every
where, many overlooking the PROPOSE

During the first Carlist war. when
Carnicer was succeeded by Cabrera,
the war became a scandalous butchery.
In an article in Blackwoods Magazine,
September, 1916, the writer says
'"Thenceforward the infant in the era
die, the bedridden old man, the preg-
nant matron, were included among the
victims. A mere suspicion of liberal
opinions, the possession of guards
mans uniform, a glass of water given
to a wounded ChrlStlanO, a distant re-
Iationship to a partisan of the Queen,
was sentnce of death. The rules of
civilized warfare were set at naught,
and Cabrera. in obedience to his san
culinary instincts, committed his muir
ders, not only when they might pos
sibly advance, but even when they
must positively injure, the cause of
him whom he styled his sovereign.

gestion can rarely have been trou-

FORCE OF CIRCUMSTANCES.

So far as we can estimate from an
examination of the American papers,
there has been no period Of time, dur
ing the last year in which the annex
alton of these Islands received so little
attention. a stranger to American
thought would infer from this fact,
that the people were generally in
different on the question.
Deep interest in the war absorbs
public attention.
But the situation illustrates the II
resistible power of the Force of cir
cumstances" While public opinion
in America falls away into a temper
airy calm on the Hawaiian question,
suddenly from another and uneXpect-
ed quarter there arises an energy, "the
force of circumstances" which acts
like a tornado, takes up Hawaii as if
she were a leaf in the woods, and
whirls her along into the arms of the
American Union.
The feryent arguments, the appeals
to national pride, the prayer of the
naval men for a great strategical base
are mere flimsy powers, in comparison
with the great Force of circum
stances that develops out Of the evO-
luton of the worlds affairs. All that
has been said in the American Senate
by able and eloquent Senators, has
been less effective in changing the
aspect of politics and commerce in the
Pacific than Dewey's rapid firing
guns. The protracted, earnest, intelli-
gent efforts of our own people in the
States, in the cause of annexation, are
incompatible with the influence of
that strange elliptical dance of
death" in Manila bay, in creating NOR
al revolution.
We have repeatedly said in these
columns, that our local conditions, the
Asiatic question, any and all other
questions were tTifling, whenever the
United States really wanted these ISL
ands. They now want them, even if they
were populated by wild men of Borneo.
All this shows the curious relation of
mind and matter, and how often it is

While the Force of Circumstance"
is driving, if it has not already driv-
en-, us into the American Union, we
must prepare ourselves for some sur
prises in the near future. Annexation
will create a certain healthy condition
of things, but it will also develop
some unhealthy conditions. Those who
wish for stability in the general gov
eminent will be gratified. Those who
care only for their own interests will
be somewat disappointed.

TIeur-de-Lis and blue Flag.

Scholars hold it far from certain
that the heraldic feur-de-lis original
ly represented any flower whatever,
and adduce strong evidence to the con-
trary, but for all practical purposes
the emblem of the people is what they
wish to have it and suppose it to be;
and so, however it may have come
about, the lilly of France" is now
doubtless a kind of iris. At the same
time it is not kind which, like the blue
flag, of our meadows, is native only to
America. Furthermore, as the French
fieur-de-lis was always emblazoned in
gold, and as one of the commonest Eu-
ropean species has yellow flowers, we
may pretty safely conclude that this
yellow iris is the floral emblem Of
France. AS regards the CYCLIC of the
Florentines, there can be no question
that it is the white-fowered Iris Flor

MANURE ON THE FARM.
Tho Subject Set Forth by One Who Has
Made 1t n Study and Speaks
by the Gard.

The preponderance of experience is
in favor of keeping the manure near
the surface as a rule, and we believe
that this is the true plan, and we
would add, on the surface as nearly as
possible. Many of our friends still
seem to be imbued with the old liking
for well-roted manure. We do not
want to let our manure get well rotted
before we apply it to the land The
place to rot the manure is in the soil,
where you have the soil to absorb ev-
erything. If the manure is spread on
the surface the soluble parts wash i'm
mediately into the land, and the loss
is smaller than In any way the manure
can be treated, far less than piling in
the barnyard, either under cover or
out. The evaporation from manure
spread on the surface is mainly only
water, while the evaporation from
piled manure is largely ammonia in a
volatile form. No matter how well
the manure Is handled there will al
ways be more loss from it in the barn
yard than in the field. Manure on the
surface keeps the soil moist and pre-
vents the baking of clay soil In
our experience, right on top as near
as may be is the best possible place
for the manure.
Lately | have had an example on a
small scale of the value of surface ma
nuring on clay soil. A year ago we
built at our college new lecture hall,
laboratory and greenhouse for my de-

HERE AND THERE.

Some men admire activity so much
that they sit all their lives watching
other men work.
When times are hard and money
scarce the farmer should do just as
other business men have done-curtail
operations, and thereby reduce ex-
penses.
The September reports of the
United States department of agricul.
ture place the number of hogs for
fattening at SIS per cent. less than ex-
listed last year at this date.
Grass and clover are the cheapest
and safest feed ever found for young,
growing pigs, and the pigs do the har.
vcsting free of cost. The labor adds
to the health and vigor of the pig.
There is no better food for preg-
nant SOW in winter than ration com
posed of equal parts by weight Of
wheat bran, shorts and corn meal, and
little oil meal added daily.
The most important element in
the soil is water; without It there
can be no more plant growth in soils
otherwise most fertile than IL seeds
were planted in iron filings. TO pre-.
serve soil moisture, then, is the chief
object Of cultivation.
"A quart of average cows milk con-
tain's practically the same amount Of
nutriment as twelve ounces of lean
beef. The milk, however, is by far the
better food, as its nutriments are prop
erly balanced while those of the beef
are decidedly one-sided.
AN old pasture is often synonym
for pure pasture; whereas it should
become better with age, and will with
proper care. Many of the best grasses
which make butter and cheese of the
very finest flavor do not attain much
growth until three years old.
Many men who can manage a
small business profitably can not be
nearly so successful in conducting
operations on much larger scale.
When a small farmer takes more land
under his care he has increased both
his expenses and his anxieties, and his
profits have been in many cases re-
duced.
