CRUELTY TO FISH.
Are the Finny Tribe Protected by the
Law?


Law?
Honolulu may be proud in having Il
strong and fearless advocate for the
prevention of cruelty to animals
There is need, however, of rallying TO
support a cause so good, and not to
leave the fight a singlehanded one. 1t
is often easier to look after ones own
convenience and to let cases of cruel
ty and suffering pass by, but there Is
surely enough honor and bravery lat
ent in the hearts of men, women and
children in these Islands to wipe out
every stain proceeding from such cases
if people are caused TO sustain what
is already begun.
And with this comes a query: If a
helping hand should be extended TO
obVate unnecessary suffering caused
to fish, is there the slightest question
in the world as to whether they would
be inclu6ed among the animal creation
protected by law?
Fun light upon this matter is earn
estly desired. X.

News and Notes.

The increase of exports of cotton from
the United States to all countries except
Russia and the Netherlands has been
very large, in most Of them the amount
being more than double what ii was ten
years ago, but owing to the extremely
low prices III 1878 the value of the
total exports was 81, 1888, 055 less than
in 1889.
The growth of sentiment in favor Of
good roads is shown by the passage Of
progressive laws in New York, Penn
sylvania and other states and by the ap
pointment Of highway commission in
Maryland, and also by the reports of in
creased sales of roadmaking machinery
The department Of agriculture has
four scientific explorers abroad getting
seeds and plants, one in Russia, one in
the countries around the Mediterranean,
one in the China seas and one IN South
America
The demand upon the bureau of AMI
NAL industry for blackleg vaccine has
increased very much during the year
The results received from its use indi
cate that the percentage of loss in herds
has been reduced from 10 to 20 per cent
to less than per cent.
According to IA report Of the division
of accounts for the fiscal year ended
June 30, the total paid out by the de-
partment of agriculture was $3,4ll,
$50 SO, which includes supplementary
payments for 1896 and 1897.
Ginseng occurs over much Of the east
ern United States, from Canada TO Ala
bama, and is gathered over the whole of
this territory, the bulk of it eventually
going abroad from New York city. The
exports for 1897 have been stated at
l79, 573 pounds, at an average value of
"a. 6S per pound

Farming from Experience.

Every farmer learns much each year
about his business by experience he gains.
1t is the most valuable knowledge, pro-
vided the farmer has learned 10 discrimln-
ate as to the true cause of success or fail
ure. II will at least teach twice the cap
acity of his own soil and location. While
farmers read with interest what other
farmers have done in other localities, it
does not effect them as does de
eide success or failure in their
own neignborhood What one man in
any locality has done others may also do
if they have like soil and cond; ions.
Almost all the special crops that are
in certain neighborhoods are the results
OF experiments made at first with much
doubt, but when proved success, incinnG
others to initiate the example In such
case the pioneer who introduces such
crops benefits the entire neighborhood
quite as much as himself He is not in
ured by competition of his neighbors, for
whatever the farmer grows there is sure to
be so large a market Tor it that the produc-
ton of large amount calls purchasers
from a distance so that the farmer can
sell at his own doors instead of marketing
his special crop at distance. An lndl-
vidua success. DO matter on how extended
a scale, cannot create such a home mar
ket.

The Kind of Cattle That Pay.

In nothing is the importance of right
start more vital than in the fattenng OF
live ock, and particularly cattle, for mar
ket. Many elements contribute to sue,
cess, but unless the start is right, skill
and care count for but little, and failure
is stamped upon the undertaking from the
very outset. unless, indeed, fortunate cir
cumstances, such as combination OF high
priced beef and low priced feed should
intervene. 1t is of the greatest moment
therefore that the feeder should select the
right kind of cattle tor faitening. We say
kind, and not breed, for while there are
several good beef breeds there is but one
beef type. which is possessed by the
several breeds in common.
With some feeders steer is steer,
and the idea that one animal may be more
profitable to feed than another does not
seem to enter their heads. or If II does 1t
is chased away by the delusive thought
that the smaller cost of the inferior animal
will offset any difference Fortunately
this class of feeders is small, and the vast
majority we'll understand that the profit
able steer to feed is the one bred and built
for beef making, the animal that repays
feed and care by putting on thick cover,
ing of rich, ripe, JUICY flesh, deep and
thick in the parts from whence the high
priced cuts of meat are taken-and not
the animal that converts the bulk OF his
feed into tallow and hardly puts on flesh
enough to decently cover his bones, and
that of inferior quality. No argument
that can be brou hit to bear against the
scrub and in favor of the well bred ami
NAL is potent as TO show that it pays to
raise and feed the latter Ia,

UncIean MIX.

The Kansas college dairy secured
samples of milk from persons that were
engaged more or less in the dairy bust
ness and placed these in long, narrow
glass tubes. After being allowed to
stand for several hours these tubes were
examined and notes taken on the
amount of dirt that settled to the bot
tom. Considerable difference was found,
some samples being almost free from
visible dirt, while Others had so much
it formed an irregular ring along the
lower edge of tho tube. While this test
is a good one to detect solid PARTICLES of
dirt in the milk, it is by no means con
elusive, as where milk is handled in an
uncleanly manner more or less dirt be-
comes dissolved in the milk and cannot
be separated out. This goes to illustrate
the importance Of the utmost cleanli-
ness in handling milk We object
strongly to milk being adulterated with
water, but this is not to be compared
with adulterating it with dirt-D. II

Warmth In the HenhOuse.

A small, cool stove set on the earthern
or cement floor of henhouse will do
much to keep up the warmth that is quite
as necessary as feed in producing large
number of eggs. Even il the floor be of
hard wood there is little danger that the
building will burn. The amount OF coal
burned will be much more than repaid by
the eggs produced at the time of year
when eggs always sell highest. When the
weather is fine the hens should be left to
run out of doors in the dc time. Blu
cooping them up with enough fire to keep
frost out of the room is always advisable
at night. This precau,ion Is especially
needed for the breeds with large combs,
which are sure to be frost bitten when
freezing weather comes. A hen with a
sore head from frost bitten comb has
enough to do to repair damages to itself
without trying to lay eggs

WHEN TO APPLY MANURE.
Winter Rains and Melting SHOWS
Garry Potash Into the Soil.

Winter Rains and Melting SHOWS
Garry Potash Into the Soil.
After all that has been said and writ
ten on the subject of manuring it does
not seem TO be we'll understood that it
should be done some time before the
crops are to grow. There are five things
that are especially needed by the soil
humus, nitrogen, potash and phosphorlc
acid, with water to permeate and dis
solve them
Humus is the decayed and decaying
vegetable matter in the soil. 1t gives it
that dark rich color, as we call it. 1t
makes it light and porous, so that it
will hold large quantities of water, just
as the sponge does. And in it live the
little invisible friends the myriads
of bacteria which fix or hold the nitro
gen that certain plants gather from the
air and make it available for the com
ing crops. Stable manure will make
this humus. So will crops that are
plowed under, such as the clovers, cow
which they at the same time bring to
the soil is much cheaper than that
bought at big price in fertilizer bags.
Indeed nitrogen is far the most costly of
the manures when it is bought. The
merchant bases his price for mixed fer
tilzere more on the nitrogen they con
tain than on any other ingredient.
Moreover, when it Is in the structures
of these plants it is in much less dan
gerous condition and is more easily APP
propriated by the succeeding crops than
in the form of mineral nitrates or ami
NAL refuse. These latter really do con-
siderable harm if applied directly to
tender seeds or rootlets and should be
we'll mixed with the soil at about the
time the plants will need the nitrogen
to stimulate their growth, for 1T il very
volatile when turned into ammonia by
union with water.
Phosphoric acid and potash must also
be applied properly. Many persons fail
to get the good effects from them which
they might reasonably expect. This is
one point that should be thoroughly
understood by farmers, fruit growers
and gardeners. The preventive measure
is to apply potash and phosphorio acid
in the fall or winter and let the rains
and melted SHOWS thoroughly dissolve
these mineral manures and mix them
with tho soil Then, when the crops are
sown or planted the next spring, the
potash and phosphorio acid will be in
condition to do only good work If you
cannot have all the winter and early
spring TO prepare them, have all that is
possible. We do not feed horse and
have tho strength from that selfsame
food ready for use the same hour. And
so with the food in the soil except nitro
gen, which is almost Immediately avail
able. Nitrogen in the soil is like whip
to the horse-it acts almost at once or
is gone by evaporation as ammonia. So
says Professor II Il. Van Deman, some
of whose ideas on manuring, as just ex-
pressed in The Country Gentleman are
here reproduced.
