Ruby King, Bell, Bull Nose, etc.
The South Europeans, Mexicans,
and South Americans prefer the
Chile pepper, which is very
pungent, and is too strong for many
persons, but finds ready sale in the
green and dried state.
All of the Capsicums attain the
stature of shrubs or small trees in
this mild climate, and fruit for years,
while in northern climates they are
grown only as ANIMALS.
The use of Capsicum peppers as
a vegetable cannot be too strongly
recommended in warm climates, as
they keep up a healthy active of
liver and kidneys, and are preventa-
tive of malaria. Prices are govern
ed by supply. Market should be
assured before planting extensively.

4. NJ. Crochet, Esq, Manager ka-
a0oalH coffee Co., LanbahOe-
hoe, Ha1Vaii:
DEAR SIR: Replying to yours of
May goth, just received, would
not advise planting the Castor Bean
on your plantation, for the foliage,
if eaten by horses, which they will
sometimes do, will kill them, as |
know from well authenticated cases
in Southern California, such to be
a fact; also YOU will eventually find
it peStiferouS weed. have known
old plantations where they had
been grown, after being under cul-
tivaton for eight or ten years to
other crops without allowing any
new seed to ripen and fall to the
ground, to be well seeded from old
seed which had laid dormant in the
soil all that time, the seed being so
oily it does not decay or loose its
vitality, when in the soil, for years.
AS to finding a market for the pro-
duct, ! would advise you to write
our Consul at San Francisco, Cal
ifornia, Hon. ChaS. T Wilder, request
ing him to get offers or quotations
from the mill located there-the
only one know of on the Coast.
Perhaps you could contract the
"beanS" at prices which would
pay you, but | would not advise
growing with expectation of a
market, except with a contract in
advance for the product. Mr.. c.
Kroelling is starting an oil plantation
on this Island, over the Pail, and
will put in machinery for making
oil. Perhaps it will pay you to
write him on the subject. His post
office address is Kaneohe, Oahu.
The cultivation of castor beans
was engaged in quite extensively
by the farmers of Southern Califor-
mia in the early '7o'S, with such
poor profit that their culture was
discontinued. But perhaps in the
manner you propose growing them,
you could make it profitable; yet
from my personal experience with
the plant in Southern California |
would not plant it on my own place
here, for reasons stated above. Seed
can be obtained in San Francisco,
and perhaps from Mr.. Kroelling.
Yours respectfully,
BYRON o. CLARK.

Castor Beans.

Commissioner Of agriculture, Homo
inlM
DEAR SIR: | have understood
that your predecessor, Mr.. Marsden,
recommended the castor oil plant
for shade for coffee, and that the
beans could be made of commercial
value. Can you tell me where |
can obtain first class seed for this
purpose, and where can obtain
any literature about the method of
growing the plant and making the
oil What is the cost of the
machinery necessary for pressing
out the oil, and where can it be
obtained ?
Can you tell me of any place in
the States where the bean is grown
for its oil ? | thought if there is
such place that could find out
something by corresponding with
growers in that locality.

THE ANSWER.
Mr.. E. dc Horne, North Kohala,
Haloaii:

DEAR SIR: Replying to yours OF
ISt inst, just received. You had
better write to any of the merchants
of Honolulu with whom you are
acquainted, for garden seed; most
all of the large firms here carry the
common varieties. If you do not
find what you wish, will under
take to procure them for you, per-
Sonally, if you will remit the
amount you wish to invest. This
Department will in the future con-
fine its work to the introduction of
only such economic plants and trees
as are difficult to obtain, as we
deem this course will be of most
value to the Islands.
You will find green corn requires
same treatment as to culture as
ordinary field corn. 1t should be
planted in hills three or four feet
apart, three kernels to a hill. After
the Gears" have been harvested
the stalks make excellent feed for
horses and cattle.
Okra should be planted in hills
three feet apart, two inches deep.
After plants are well established
pull out all but two of the best.
The pods should be used while
young and tender.
Black pepper (Piper Nigrum),
which furnishes the black pepper of
commerce, grows on a vine which
will attain height of twenty feet
or more, but when cultivated should
not be allowed to 90 so high, on
account of difficulty in gathering
the crop. 1t is planted at the base
of trees and allowed to ascend their
trunks, which it will do by attach
ing itself to the rough bark. 1t
should commence to fruit in three
years, attaining its maximum pro-
ductiveneSS in seven or eight years.
The fruit is red when ripe. 1t is
harvested before fully ripe, and is
then dried, when it becomes black
and shriveled as you see it in the
markets. The, same fruit produces
1ohite pepper, by freeing it Of its
outer skin by maCeration in water,
and subsequent rubbing and polish
ing.
Another variety, Piper Bette,
furnishes the Betel-leaf of the
southern ASiaticS, in which they
wrap slices of the areca-nut and
little Shell-lime, which they chew
to Sweeten the breath and to pre-
vent the pangS of hunger; and it is
almost as universally used by those
people as is tobacco in the West.
The pepper tree, SchinuS Molle,
from South America, is of no value
except as an ornamental shade
tree.
The pepper which is so highly
esteemed for its pods in culinary
uses, pickles and condiments,
also from which cayenne pepper is
manufactured, is CapSicum, in its
many varieties.
The varieties preferred for use by
most Americans is what is known

TEST CASE.
Intended to Settle the Folsom Road
Bond Matter.

There is already before the Supreme
Court an agreed case in which c. E.
Wright is plaintiff and the Board of
Supervisors the defendant, the purpose
of which is to determine the validity of
the S75, 900 of Folsom road bonds. But
it seems that the issue therein is not
made as broad as the Attorney General
DESIRES hence another suit was brought
a few days ago by Mr.. Wright
The latter was argued yesterday be-
fore Judge Gaddis of Yolo, who pre-
sided in Department Two of the Su-
perior Court. Briefly stated, the court
is asked to restrain the Supervisors
from further action in the matter of is
suing and disposing of the bonds.
Charles T. Hughes, Secretary of the
Folsom Road Commission, represented
the board in the action
Judge Gaddis took the case under ad-
visement. He told a Record Union
reporter that he would give the mat
ter his earnest attention and would
probably render his decision early next
week.

pended entirely on his engineers in
making his report. At a meeting held
in the Capital Hotel in this city Engi-
neer Price had made known his plan
of dredging, and four or five engineers
who were present approved it.
Mr.. Muir, who was present at yester-
days meeting, said his dredger would
easily raise material sixty feet, and
that he would construct one and allow
the Auditing Board to test it before
purchasing, and if it failed to perform
what he claimed for it the board could
reject it.
After some further discussion the
opinion was ordered on file, and as the
board is supposed to act on recon-
mendatiorsof the Commissioner of Pub
lie Works, and no recommendation
having been made by him respecting
the purchase of a Muir dredger no ac-
tion was taken, and the meeting ad-
jOurned.

RECRUITS AT SUFFER- FORT.
WENT INTO CAMP THERE LAST
EVENING.
All Quiet in Local Military Circles
Volunteers Becoming
Impatient.

Quiet reigned in local military circles
the mobilization of State volunteers
failed to arrive.
The announcement that infantry COM
panies will muster in with not less than
eighty-four and not more than eighty
eight men, and that probably only one
company Of that arm of the service
would be required from Sacramento,
gave ground for discomfort, and some
mutterings were heard. The boys are,
however, hoping that both companies
will be needed.
Applications for enlistment in the
battery of heavy artillery poured in
yesterday, and Captain Cook of Troop
B cavalry feels certain that the full
quota of 100 men will be secured before
the end of the week.
Thirty of the volunteers for the bat
terry who are strangers in the city were
marched to Suffers Fort last evening
and pitched camp just outside the
main entrance. Six tents were fur
nished by the Quartermaster of Troop
B for the accommodation of the men,
who were in charge of Corporal Gra-
cia. The way that black coffee and
bread and bacon disappeared when
supper was announced would have done
credit to old campaigners.
Jubilee Lodge, Sons of st. George,
has adopted a resolution providing that
all members who may enlist for the war
will be kept in good standing during
their absence.
Absolutely no news of Importance
was received at either the Governor 5
or the Adjutant-Generals office yes
terday, and if an early order for mo-
bilization is to be issued nobody at the
Capitol knows anything about it.
The regular weekly drill of Company
E was held last night, and the ranks
were full. Captain Lucey realizes that
the time for drilling is limited, and the
hour last night was extended far be-
yond the usual. Squad, platoon and
company drill was the order, and con-
sidering the raw material recently
taken into the ranks the effort was
creditable, to say the least.
Lieutenant Colonel T. ]. Hay will
inspect the Signal Corps next Wednes-
day, and has notified Lieutenant Mar
tin that he will, if possible, be here on
Sunday to witness the regular hello
graph drill.
Four stations will on that day be IS
tablished. two at the Capitol building,
one at Woodland and one at Auburn
The squads of the Sacramento-Aub

The Auburn squad will leave for its
