HAWAIIAN FIBRE co.

Organization Completed - To Be
Incorporated Soon.
The organization of the Hawaiian
Fibre Company is now completed and
as soon as papers Of incorporation are
secured from the Government a new
industry viii be launched, the promot-
ers of which are confident will take it's
place alongside Hawaii's other great
products. The prime mover in the
scheme, Mr.. Alfred Turner, has work
ed indefatigably since he came to the
Islands to interest capitalists in the
growth of sisal hemp. He has claimed
for the fibre that it is already past
the experimental stage, and that the
climatic and soil conditions of the
countries where it is grown are so like
those in Hawaii that there could be no
question as to the ultimate result
here
The new company has elected Cecil
Brown, president; w. G. Weldon, sec
rotary and treasurer; w. G. Ashley,
auditor. The arrangements for secur-
ing 5000 acres of land along the line
of the Oahu Railway, some two miles
beyond Eva plantation will be COM
pleted as soon as the company has Sc
| cured it's charter. The soil at this
place is coral and unfit for almost any
| thing else than sisal, which requires
no irrigation and little or no fertile
soil. Even weeds will not grow where
| it thrives.
| The company will be incorporated
with a present capital stock of S25 600
with a limit of S150,000. The author
| be included in the charter, so that
should it ever be desired to enter into
competition with that industry it may
| be done.
Mr.. Turner has been appointed Man
ager of the new company. He will live
for the present at Pearl City and as
soon as the charter is secured and the
| first assessment made on the stock
which has already been subscribed
| the work of clearing the land will be-
gin. This will be the largest direct
outlay of money for the present. When
| once growing, the sisal will require
no wedding as there are no weeds
| The main work will be cutting off the
young suckers which will be trans
planted at once. Further assessments
of capital will be made as the progress
| of the industry demands.

THE WHARF NATTER.

The Chamber of Commerce
promptly acted on Mr.. Dilling
hams request, and had Il confer
ence yesterday with the Cabinet
on the matter of wharf facilities
for this port. After listening to
the statements made on behalf of
the Government, the committee,
representing the Chamber declar-
ed that it was satisfied with the
explanations made, and retired.
The Advertiser, in allowing so
much of its space to be occupied
by Mr.. Dillingham's charges
against the Government, felt that
a person who has displayed such
indOmitable energy in develop
ing the resources of this island,
was entitled to unusual consider
alton. 1t desired that he should
never be justified in making the
complaint that he could not get
the ear of the public, or that he
was prevented from fully inform
ing his fellow citizens of his views
on public matters. He has now
had the largest opportunity.

doubt, that it has served its time,
as target for the sharpshooters
of Good Advice, and we do not
just now propose to make any
scores on that line.
But there are some important
facts which have serious bear
ing on the future of the sugar in
dustry that must not be forgot
ten.
Up to recent period, there has
been no large class of men in the
States, that has been personally
interested in attacking the Isl
ands' sugar interest. But, with
in several years, an active, bitter
implacable enemy has appeared in
the sugar beet interest. 1t hon
estlv believes that there is good
cause for abrogating reciprocity.
1t is the first industry which in
cludes many men that has the
leverage Of an appeal to self in
terests. 1t is making the farmer
believe that he is personally in
iured in his own business by Ha-
waiian reciprocity. When self in
terest is touched these men act.
This is one serious fact.
Another serious fact is, that the
labor parties of America have
never taken any interest in the
Hawaiian matter until recently.
1t is presumed that the sugar beet
interest has made persistent eff
forts to stir up this labor interest
to oppose annexation. The result
is that the American Federation
of Labor in its convention held IN
Nashville. resolved to oppose an
nexatiOn on account of the penal
contract laws that exist here.
This Federation is a powerful
body of men, and controls a vast
number of intelligent voters.
Here. then, are two important
facts: The sudden hostility of the
sugar beet interest, and the sud
den hostility of the national labor
interest.
Now, then, is a third fact: 1t is
the powerful and unlimited infu-
ence of the labor interest over
Congress. In 1882, it demanded
of Congress, at the instance OF a
few Pacific States, the exclusion
of Chinese from the United
States. Congress at once rushed
through a law prohibiting Chi
nese immigration. 1t was vetoed
by President Arthur, because it
was in contravention of a treaty.
But Congress bowed low before
the labor King, and subsequently
passed other immigration laws
which are now in force.
One more fact: The labOring
interest in the United States will
not tolerate penal contracts.
And one more fact: These ISL
ands depend upon the United
States for their prosperity.
The planting interest may judge
for itself what the proper policy
is to pursue regarding penal con-
tract labor. Does not every year

Seeking for information, certain
questions were asked of an expert
whose profit lies, as manufacturer,
in producing one of the most popular
self-feeding pens on the market. This
authority said that''a dip of ink ought
to write 100 words. That in an hour
about thirty drops of ink were used,
and that in 60 minutes the pen trav-
eled some eighth OF mile. 1t all de-
pended on the idiosyncrasy OF the
writer's"
In order to test this number of
''habitual and hardened" scribes
were asked to take one dip only
of ink and they were to work of
their copy in their usual elegant
or slovenly manner. AS far as
averages went, the result was dis
heartening. One man wrote 144 words
with the one dip and another IA, and
the characters of the 144-word man
were much more legible than those of
the 14-word man. There was lady
graceful contributor to journalism
and in her Italian hand she wrote eight
words to the dip, and the faster she
produced copy the less words she
wrote to the single dip.
1t is the measurement of the writing
-one-eighth of mile to the hour
which is curious, and to think it pos
sible that there may be Industrious
scribes who write every day of their
lives more than a mile of copy. We

ting sulky more speedily, or we play
finer game of billiards now than ever,
because the machines, OF the track or
the table and the balls are better con-
structed. With improved pens, ink.
inkstands and paper, do we write any
more speedily than in ye olden time?
The probability is that we are faster in
our writing, the mechanical impedi-
ments having been diminished; yet the

never kept pace with the rapidity of
his thoughts. New York Times.

Pruning.

In pruning trees the branches re-
moved should be sawed yoff close to the
main trunk or limb. on which they
grew. If long stub is left the
wound will not heal over, but remain
open subject to the attack of disease
germs, which, when they have once
gained entrance, are sure sooner or
later to produce "black heart" which
may extend through the whole tree.
In cutting back small branches or
leading in" the cut should be made
just above good strong bud 80 that
no stub is left to die back and invite
disease.
All large wounds should be painted
over to prevent checking" and to
keep out germs while the healing pro-
cess is going on. When smaller
branches have been removed or cut
back, it is we'll to spray the whole
tree with Bordeaux mixture, which
not only prevents germs from enter
ing the wounds, but also checks their
growth on other parts of the tree.

Pegging Down Plants.

An admirable way, according to
Vick's Magazine, to grow most any of
the hybrid perpetual roses is by peg.
ging them down in the garden. Plants
grown in this way furnish many more
flowers than when raised in the regu-
lar way. The young shoots of each
seasons growth are pegged down in
the fall by the use of small sticks
placed often enough to keep the
branches fastened solid. In laying
the branches down, leave none nearer
than eight or ten inches; after bush
has been pegged down for several
years the space will become crowded,
and then the old wood can be cut
away to give room for the new branch
es. The new shoots should never
be pegged down when in a growing
condition, but when the wood has
ripened off and become dormant in
the fall is the proper time to do the
work.
Should it happen, as it sometimes
does, that some of the old wood must
be left, because too few new shoots
have grown to take its place, the old
wood should be pushed back to two
eyes OF buds on each branch; the
shoots will then start out in the
spring, making new wood for blossom
ing.
The reason for this pegging down
process is this: The rose bush has q
latent bud at every joint of the plant,
which is only waiting for good chance
to grow and produce blossoms; planted
in the ordinary way only those at the
top of the bush have much of chance
to develop, but when laid down every
one of the latent buds will stand an
equal chance with every other in the
distribution of the sap, moisture and
sunshine and few of them will fail to
grow and bloom. A bed of roses
grown in this way presents a grand
appearance, as the surface of the soil
is nearly hidden by the foliage, above
which the lovely roses are growing
thickly. These bushes need enriching
often, as they are being forced so
hard, and good dressing of we'll
rotted stable manure is almost
necessity every fall. Some of the
shoots that have become covered with
earth will root, especially if the branch
becomes partially broken or hurt in
layering. Nature, in her effort to heal
the place, will callous it oyer and then
roots are quite likely to form.

Consuelo's Spaniel.

A tradition exists in the ducal house
of Marlborough that tiny spaniel
followed the founder of the family
through the battle of Blenheim, un-
harmed, and on its return the Duchess
adopted it as her special pet, and to
honor the tradition each succeeding
Duchess lhas had presented to her,
on assuming the title, little ''Blen-
helm"
1t is said that the first present given
by the young Duke to his bride after
their Homecoming was one of these
spaniels.
On the return of the first DDuke
from the famous battle of Blenheim,
in 1704, Queen Anne gave him in
recognition of his great victory over
the French the large tract of land on
which the palace now stands, and
since that time each year the Duke
sends to Windsor Castle, as kind of
rent, little flag on which is en-

Weak Colonies.

Many colonies will be reduced
down very weak from coming through
the winter. 1t is very desirable to
save every colony that is in healthy
condition and that have good queens.
We can very materially help out such
colonies by giving them some atten-
ton at the right time and in the right
manner. A weak colony will always
do better in small space, and this
can be arranged by fitting board
down in the hive, one on each side of
just the number of combs the bees can
occupy, thus contracting the space,
with these division boards.
Weak colonies may thus be tucked
up in small quarters, and surrounded
thoroughly with warm protection so as
to contine as much heat as possible,
and in this shape, with good food at
their disposal, it is surprising to see
how rapidly they will build up and
need more territory to accommodate
their increase of business.
Strong colonies may be drawn up to
strengthen weak ones, and this is very
frequently done at almost all seasons
of the year. 1t is done by taking a
frame of brood bees, or brood without
bees, from strong colony and giving
it to weak one. 1t has been found,
however, that to do this in early
spring proves more of a detriment
generally than to allow the strong
ones to keep what they have. In
building up in spring a strong colony
will rear more brood alone than both
colonies if the brood is divided, the one
being a weak colony.
1t is only by good management that
we can get weak colonies built up
strong by the time the honey season
is on, for if they are not strong at
this time, it will be at the expense of
the honey crop that they will reach
their fullest capacity.
A good, fertile queen is capable of
producing enough bees in very short
period to make an immense colony of
bees, but she is altogether governed
in this respect by the number of bees
in the hive, and she lays only the
number OF eggs that the bees are
capable of taking care of. She occu-
pies just the amount of brood combs
that the bees cover well, and in this
she does not venture too close to the
outside line, and as the number of
bees increase and more space on the
combs is occupied, she extends her
territory in laying eggs.
A queen bee is capable of laying
5000 eggs in single day under the
most favorable circumstances. so that
if 35, 900 bees are a good colony she
could produce it in twelve or fifteen
days, if it were not the case that she
is governed by being thus limited. =.

Dehorninr Cattle.

The saw was first used in dehorn-
ing and l always had an aversion to it's
use, but when the knife came l at
once had my herd dehorned.
Then l commenced the use of chem
icals on my calves to prevent horn
growth, and for years have had no
horns except in cattle we have bought
or where we made a partial failure in
stopping their growth.
With neither knife nor the use of
chemicals can there be any charge of
cruelty or causing suffering any more
than clipping lamb or pigs tail,
which everybody believes is right.
I have never had any special trouble
with horned cattle, but the dehorned
ones are so much more peaceable that,
especially in new country where ac-
commodations for stock are so linn
tied and so much more crowding
necessary, that I very much prefer the
hornless ones, they housing together
under the shed or drinking at the
trough as closely as hogs
1 would strongly advise that no
horns be allowed to grow.-J. NJ
