WATER FOR SAILORS.
Subscribing for = Novel Gift
to the. Navy.

Anyone who has had occasion Il
nurse the sick, especially persons sui
fering from gun wounds and fevers
knows how valuable is plentiful sup
ply of good water. On board war ant
other ships the need of such aid is otter
felt when there is no possibility of sup
plying it. This subject was discussed
at recent meeting of the National So
ciety of the Colonial Danes of America
when it was voted to form an organiza
ton for the relief of the sick. At that
time check for $500 was sent to he ex.
pended for extras needed on board the
hospital ship Sclace. Later the New
York branch of the society decided tc
provide for the purchase of a machine
for aerating water to be used on board
warships. Three hundred dollars was
raised on the spot and the additional
81, 200 needed is in sight. One of these
machines has already been turned over
to the army.
The machine in question is one which
has met with the fullest approval from
the surgeon general. By its use it is pos
sible. even where water is bad, to make
it not only palatable, but absolutely
harmless. 1t will stay fresh for long
time and will keep spirit in siphons a
surprising length of time. There are
so many medicines which it is necessary
to administer in waters charged with
gas that this is a great boon, as its
product possesses many of the same
properties, and, of course, is much less
expensive. 1t can be held in q small
vessel and so left by the side of any pa
tient who needs ii. The amount of wa
ter needed does seem great deal, but
as the National Society of Colonial
Danes of America has SO many ramifi-
cations it is not thought that long
time will elapse before the desired re-
sponse will be made to the suggestion.
As one patriotic member of the society
says there has been great deal of fun
made of the Colonial Danes as a society.
but now there is an opportunity to
show what they can and will do to aid
their country and to prove that the pa
triotic spirit is as much alive in them
as it was in their ancestors. The same
member says that at first there was
difference of opinion as to
what should be done, but that when it
was suggested that the society purchase
a machine for aerating water all diver
sity of idea disappeared. = Chicago

THE MAKING OF CLOVER Hay
Well Made, 1t II tho Best AN-R0und Feed
the Farmer Can Provide
for Hls Stock.

The clover is again showing its fra
grant red blossoms, and this reminds
us that the haymaking season is near
at hand. Good clover hay is the best
all-round feed that the farmer car
provide for his stock, while poor clio
yer is little better than nothing. 1t i.
surprising how much poor clover hay
is stored away each harvest, or how
little attention the average farmer
pays to condition that must be oh.
served if good hay is secured. Now
that it is tolerably certain that good
prices are going to prevail for the
grain we grow, it becomes very impor-
tant that we make grass or hay
take its place IS far as possible.
If we can make . lot of good clover
hay to feed our horses that do not work
next winter rs well as stock cattle,
very little. if any, grain will have to be
laid by for them, and we will have 50
much the more 20 take to market.
What are the conditions necessary to
get n first-class quality of clover hay?
First, the plant must be in full bloom,
with some Of the heads beginning to
brown. This is the time TO begin cut
ting, il other conditions are right, and
for ten days or two weeks after the
clover will not be too ripe. 1t is best
TO begin just as soon as you can, rs =
wet spell of weather may throw you too
late in finishing up the work. The next
important item, and in fact the most
important of all in clover cutting, il
the weather. You can't make first
class clover hay in wet weather or be-
tween showers, and its no use trying.
We must not only have clear weather
overhead, but the ground must be dry
to such an extent 1t least that there
will not be excessive evaporation from
the earth after the clover is cut down.
1t usually takes two or three days sun
shine after good rain to dry up the
ground SO that it 10 possible to cure
your hay as it should be. II the soil is
damp and you cut down your clover
when the stalks seem dry they soon
take up moisture much faster than the
rays of the sun will throw it OF.
When this moisture and weather con-
diti0n is just right the work of making
clover hay can be pushed along very
rapidly. Cut your grass down in the
forenoon, after the dew has dried OF.
and then take it to the barn in the
afternoon. Or, il you are in . hurry,
cut down some Of your clover late in
the afternoon and this will be ready to
move away by ten o'clock the next day,
or Is soon as the dew il or Don't wait
for your clover to cure. All that is nee
essary is for it to be entirely free from
external moisture. The sap Of the plant
will not cause your clover to mold or
spoil In any instance. Some mightob-
ject to handling clover in this uncured
condition ON account Of it being very
heavy. But il you try to cure it, It
takes extra handling. and you then lose
most Of the leaves, leaving nothing but
the stalk. Have your NOW - tight q

TO ADVERTISERS.

~ In Honolulu's Business Expansion.
In today in the new Honolulu
expansion the BULLETIN desires to
call the attention of it's advertisers
to the absolute necessity of chang,
ing their ads often. 1t may mean
some additional trouble, but this
will find a thousand fold com men.
suration IN increased business.
There isn't a live up-to-date
business man in the New Homo
lulu that is not patron of the
live up-to-date paper of the town
the BULLETIN. 1t is the desire
OF the papers management that
the announcements of its patrous
shall be as bright, sparkling and
crisp as Its news columns.
Merchants advertise in the BULLE-
TIN for additional business. They
invariably receive it. But the
BULLETIN in pertinently anxious
that they shall receive, as large a.
they ale now, mightier returns fo
their money.
We want every mercantile al in
the BULLETIN changed at least
once a week, and twice would suit
US better.
lie merchants haven't the
time to write their ads, the
BULLETIN has in its employ the
most expert ad writer ever on the
Islands. Tell us what you wish
to make drive on and we will do
the rest to your entire satisfac-
ton.
In addition to our adj writer
the BULLETIN has on its mechsni-
cal staff the most artistic ad setter
ever in toe Islands. He hasn't a
superior anywhere.
What does this mean ? 1t
means that your ads will be attrac-
lively written and artistically dis
played. All these services W.
pfotfer our advertisers without adj
ditional cost.
One word as to rates: Para
doxical as it may seem the BULLE-
TINS advertising rates are higher
and lower than those Of its even
ing contemporaries. A So ad in
the BULLETIN is cheaper than a ~
ad in the other evening papers.
Why ? The BULLETIN publishes
the live news Of the day. Its ex-
elusive stories in every issue are
distinctive and marked. Its re-
porters are experienced men. 1t
is the recognized official organ of
Island Fraternalism. 1t Publishes
more want ads than all the other
papers in Honolulu combined.
Why 90 on with the tiresome
enumeration ? Eyes see and com
prehension understands that the
BULLETIN is New Honolulu's live
paper. 1t is the peoples paper,
taken by the people, read by the
people and recognized by the peo-
pie.

most expensive ways. There have Deen

How much will IT cost to finish the
canal?'
1T is all guesswork, but believe that

One-Thfrd of the Canal Finished.
The French chief of construction who
showed me over the Culebra cutting today
told me he considered the canal more than
half dcne. This is probably rosy view of
the work. and 1 am told by others that one
third would be nearer the proper figure
The old company worked eight years. and
during much of this time had an average of
lo.ooD men in their employ. They spent a
quarter of a billion dollars and excayated
about sixty-five million cubic yards of earth
and rock. Then the bubble burst, and this
