turned in at the top. When the vat fills,
the liquid rises to the surface and runs
away in the small irrigating bitches to
the plants requiring fertilization. In
some instances the water is turned off
when the vat is filed and after two or
three days the colored liquid is dipped
up in tin or iron buckets and carried
to the particular plants the gardener
desires to make a rapid growth for the
early market and poured on the foliage
and around the roots. He uses tin cups
or dippers for this work, giving each
plant the same quantity, being careful
not to waste the least particle.
A German gardener and small fruit
grower has the most perfect system Of
applying liquid fertilizers His plant
consists of large homemade hogshead
built on hillside, so that water can be
run in at the top and drawn out from
the bottom. This holds two or more
wagon loads of manure and is easily
filled and emptied with shovel or ma
nure fork The liquid is drawn off by
means of two inch hole supplied with
a hollow faucet. Some light troughs,
made of half inch material. ~ feet in
length and about inches in width.
put together in V shape, carry the
liquid where wanted and empty it into
a larger trough, from which it is dis
tributed. The large trough should be
and about foot wide q inches deep
10 to ~ feet long, in order not to
be too heavy for carrying or dragging
about. This may be dispensed with en-
tirely by simply shoveling out a similar
sized reservoir to hold the liquid tenn
porarily while it is divided into the
small burrows. If the trough is used,
anger holes should be bored in one side
every foot or more to allow the liquid
to escape. These holes can be stopped
by plugs or by mailing tin lids inside,
to raise when needed, or dropped down
when holes are closed.
Joel Shoemaker, who describes the
foregoing methods of using liquid fer
tilizer in Farm and Fireside, also says
Last year l hauled several loads of well
rotted manure mixed with straw and
scattered it in piles at the head of my
garden irrigating burrows. The water
was turned from the main into the
laterals and soaked through the manure,
with the result that the strength of
those manure heaps was applied direct
to the roots of vegetables through the
irrigations Tomatoes thus treated yield

ed one -half bushel to the plant and
ripened nicely at an altitude of 5000
feet above sea level. Every experiment
made has demonstrated that liquid fer
tilizers are valuable and a vat will
amply repay the gardener and small
fruit grower who depends upon the
market. The products can be obtained
earlier, the quality is superior and the
quantity almost doubles from judicious
fertilizing by some liquid applications.
Ii no other process is available,
spray pump, which every gardener and
orchardist should have to fight insects,
may be satisfactorily used in connec-
tion with liquid fertilizers, The plants
are not injured or made unfit for use
by using liquid fertilizers, as there is
no odor faint left after few hours, and
the growing vegetables take up the ele-
ments desired the same as from manure
spread upon the soil.

Beyond the region of the Atlantic
coast and the influence of the chain of
great lakes farmers usually fall pillow all
their land for spring grain in order to
get it in as early as possible They say
that spring wheat, oats and barley do
much better when thus .sown, as they
get an early start 0nd mature before
the extreme summer heats begin. There
is another reason The fall plowed land
has no spring blowing, but is sown on
the furrow as soon as there is enough
of it thawed out to make a covering
for the seed grain. In fact. it is usually
dragged in while the surface soil is SO
muddy that it often clogs the drag, and
the seed is hardly covered at all But
on thu moist ground and with sunny
skies overhead the grain quickly sends
its sprout upward and its roots down
ward into the loose soil. If a freeze
up occurs before the grain is up, it is
all the better. 1t lightens the soil that
the dragging while it was wet had COM
pacted A light freeze just as the grain
is coming up is also an advantage, 1t
checks leaf growth, and, if warm weather
follows, the root grows faster than the
top. causing it to send up additional
shoots from the same seed. American

in the steamer Coptic. Inspector
Brown, the customs officials or
the Hawaiian government could
do nothing but refuse him en-
entrance to the Hawaiian Islands.
No option was given these officers.
They must follow instruction.
The Rt. Hon. Mr.. How Duck
had a right to appeal bis case to
the Secretary of the Treasury.
This he did not do. He asserts,
as a reason for bis failure, that he
did not know of his right to APP
peal. If this is true it is no fault
of the officials acting under the
instructions of the Treasury De.
partment. The Chinese were no.
tilted that they had right to ap-
peal, although Inspector Brown
was not necessarily called upon to
give this notification. Further
more Mr.. How Duck could, if he
so desired, have secured all neces
sary "pointers" from his consul
stationed in Honolulu.
The Rt. Hon. Mr.. How Duck
and his compstriots we're rejected
under the United States laws and
Treasury regulations then in force.
On the arrival of the Coptic
February Is, on her return trip to
China, no modification OF such
law or regulation had been made,
no court proceedings on their be
half had been instituted, nor had
any appeal from the decision of
the appropriate customs officials
rejecting them, been taken to the
Secretary of the Treasury. The
steamship company, responsible
for bringing Mr.. How Duck and
his compatriots here, was ready to
carry them to the place whence
they came, and neither the United
States Chinese Agent nor the
collector of customs had any op.
ton in thu matter. How Duck
and his compstriots had to be
placed on board the Coptic and
sent home.
Subsequent action of the Wash
ington authorities modified the
rulings in such cases as Mr.. How
Duck. These notifications had
not been received when Mr.. How
Duck went home. When modi-
fed instructions were received

been.
Mr.. How Duck says he under
stands that the Treasury depart
ment has betrayed the expenses of
the Chinese held at the quaran.

The Advertiser says the local
governm ent" was made cats paw
in com hitting an outrage" The
local government acted under the
same instructions from the United
States govern ment as did Chinese
Inspector Brown. The local gov.
srnment was not made a cats
paw. The local government could

officers of the local government
ike Inspector Brown are respon,
sible to the Washington authority
and that authority only, notwith-
standing the Adver iser seeks to
make it appear that there was a
slash Of authority.
The relations between the Spe-
'ial Agent of the Treasury depart
nent and local officials were rela-
lions of complete understanding

with the matter in any way.
