Celery Under Irrigation.

found celery under irrigation one of the
most successful vegetable crops of the
season and expresses the belief that
with plentiful water supply, such rs
in Colorado, there are many localities
that will produce celery equaling in
quality the product of the famous Mich
igan celery fields. Celery is becoming
quite commercial crop under irriga-
tion at Kearney, Neb,. and, commenting
ON the fact, the Denver Field and
Farm is convinced that there are soils
of black loan or peat in the Colorado
river bottoms and in the did buffalo
wallows which cannot be exoelled for
this crop.

Arpn rnKua Iluat.

The effect of asparagus rust upon the
plants is to exhaust their vitality, both
by the destruction of the assimilating
cells and much of the assimilated mat.
ter. Therefore investigators of this trou-
BILE seem to be arriving at the opinion
that to cut the stalks off entirely in the
middle of the growing season only
makes worse matter which is already
bad enough When Canada thistles are
treated i'll this way, it is expected that
it will kill the roots. 1t sometimes fails
to do so, and this may be the case with
asparagus Nevertheless it is unneces-
sarily harsh treatment.

Shelter for sheep.

Sheep suffer il kept in close, under
ground, unventilated stables. which are
pretty sure to be also damp and have foul
air. Even in warm weather sheep will
prefer to sleep on knolls, not merely to
watch against danger, but also to secure
free circulation of pure air. So long as
the roof keeps on: the rain. the open
texture of the wool on the Sleeps backs
will keep cold out, however severe, pro-
vded it is not accompanied by wet. The
sheep need this shelter from rain. even
when the weather is not SO very cold,
though the oil which nature provides pro-
tects the skin from being wet, unless the
storm is so long continued that the sheep
is chilled through.

Potatoes for Fattening Hogs.

Whenever potatoes are very cheap far
mers are apt to try to get something out
of them by feeding them to stock. Every
year there is a certain proportion of pota-
toes too small or too sCabby to be market
able, and some of these are likely to be
given to the fattening hogs with the idea
that their starch can be converted into fat,
But only 20 per cent. OF the potato is
starch, the other 80 being nothing but
water, Even when cooked the potato alb
serbs as much water as it loses, and is
much too bulky in the small stomach of a
hog to serve as its principal feed. Be-
yond the small amount required TO keep
the bowels open. potatoes are no advant
age to the hog. and for this few beets
which the hog will eat with greediness are
greatly to be preiered.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneumo-

was never followed nv that disease when
Chamberlaib's Cough Remedy was used

Ia grippe to result in that dangerous
disease. 1t is the best remedy in the

New stations In Arid and Subarid
Regions.

Congress last session made an appro-
priation for the purpose Of increasing
the number of stations in the arid and
subarid regions of the country and pro
vision has already been made to estab-
lish stations at Kalispell, Mon. Boise,
Ida Mount Tamalpais, Cal. Flagstaff,
A. T., and Fort Worth, Tex. Additional
stations will soon be located at Merid-
ian, Miss. Macon, Ga. +; Lexington, Ky. ;
Elkins, W Va; Evansville, Ind, and
Esoanaba, Mich. These additional sta
tions, besides assisting in the develop.
ment of agricultural and industrial in

located, will be Of material benefit in
improving the warnings and forecasts,

Arrested for Gambling.

Captain Kekai made an unexpected
arrest yesterday. He was walking out
toward Palama when, seeing friend
some distance away, he called out to
him. Instantly there was a sound of
hurrying feet and falling chairs in a
Chinese den in front of which Kekai
was standing. 'Smelling some mices, .
the Captain dashed through the door
to the scene Of the scuffling. One
Chinaman attempted to get through
the window. but was hauled back. An
other ran for a side entrance, but a
quick trip ended his race for liberty.
Two others attempted to hide the gam
bling paraphernalia scattered about,
but a gentle remonstrance stopped
their efforts. After gathering up the
evidence Captain Kekai escorted the
Chinese TO the Police Station.

THE HILO WHARF,

Wharf Lengthened.

J. G. Carter is in charge of blasting
and excavating for the purpose of deep
ening the harbor alongside the long
wharf, so that vessels drawing twenty
two feet of water can discharge there.
This work is now being commenced
and the blasting will be made today or
early next week. The wharf is also to-
be heightened fifty feet, and a slip put
in at the end giving the Kinau or any
other steamer Of like size room to dis
charge from both matches at once. This
is work that will be very much ap-
preciated when the Kinaus semi-week-

SATURDAYS BALL GAME.
E. o Hall & Sons Team are Again
Victorious.

"A Comedy of Errors with every
player in the caste attempting to out
shine his fellows was the baseball game
at the Makiki grounds Saturday after
noon. The opposing troupes were from
E. o. Hall & Son and the Pacific Hard
ware Co. Although the former team
won out by a score of % to 7, the Pa
cifics can take consolation from the
fact that they made twice as many er-
rOrs as the victOrs. The vanQuished
team lays the result to lack of practice.
They emphatically deny the assertion
made by one Of their opponents that a
team composed of Chinese laundrymen
or dressmakers could beat them. The
Halls" are looking for more teams to
conquer.
a challenge to the Stars, the official
champions of 80, is expected. Before
this game comes off, however. it is un-
derstood that a team from T. H. Da-
vies & Co. wants a try at the twice
victorious Halls.

THE STARS TO GO.
Hilo People Take Substantial Interest
in the Matter.

The Stars are thoroughly in earnest
about their proposed trip TO get done
I'D by our own local ball tossers. Mr..
Baldwin received a letter from their
manager, stating that the team pro-
posed to leave Honolulu by the Helene
on > about September >. They take
this steamer because they are unable
to get reduced rates on the klnau, the
regular complement Of passengers on
that vessel preventing any inducement
to the company for offering reduced
rates thereon. The company will give
half rates by the Helene, however.
The Stars wanted to know by return
mail what inducements in the way OF
finance could be offered. They are not
looking to make anything out of the
trip, but they would like to have their
expenses met. A meeting Of the HilO
league was held last evening to consid-
er the matter.
Mr.. Baldwin, however, had satisfied
himself so far as to public opinion on
the matter and the feelings of our own
ball players, that he wrote the Stars to
come, and guaranteed at least SIS to-
ward their expenses; $50 has already
been secured through a little work on
the part Of one or two enthusiasts

TWO TRIPS 4 week
Promised to and from HilO by the
Wilder Steamship Co.
so SAYS COMMODORE BECKLEY
If the Kinau Cannot Do the Work Another
Steamer May be Built and
Put On.

The Wilder Steamship Company are
not only contemplating a decided lnno-
vation in the running of their line, but
they have already their plans pretty
we'll formulated. Commodore Beckley,
in an interview with a representative OF
the Hilo Tribune. said: This COM
pany proposes, in the very near future
to give Hilo a semi-weekly steamer
service. The amount of passenger traf-
fic and the constantly increasing trav-
ell between Honolulu and HilO demands
this. though whether it will pay the
company at the start is doubtful. The
amount Of freight carried by the XII
nau will, of course, be much decreased
thereby, as she will have no time to
stop at Lahaina, Kihei or Mahukona
for unloading the heavy freight for
these places. 1t will have to be car
.ried by other steamers"
Mr. Geo. Rodiek, manager Of the Hilo
branch of H. Hackfeld & Co., received
a letter from J. T. Hackfeld, vice-presi-
dent of the Wilder line, in which the
proposed change is quite fully dis
cussed and outlined. Mr.. Hackfeld
says that it is proposed to have the
steamer leave Honolulu on Monday,
reach Hilo Tuesday afternoon; leave
again Wednesday, reach Honolulu
Thursday, etc. He requested Mr.. Ro-
dicks opinion as to the advantage or
disadvantage to Hilo business houses
by the proposed schedule. The new
plan is quite generally favored by the
large Honolulu shippers. The only
difficulty seems to be that with the
brief time at each end of the line it
will be difficult to complete the loading
and unloading of cargo. In case the
scheme Of running the Kinau twice
weekly proves impracticable, new
steamer will be built and put on to al
ternate with her. In any case, the
Wilder Company is prepared to double
up the transportation facilities be-
tween this port and Honolulu.
