Mr. loung states that Hawaii win
enjoy n prosperous season this year. a
the cane sugar crop will be large. The
only cloud in the sky of Hawail's fav-
orable prospects Is the uncertainty with
regard to the labor supply. 1t will not
be serious this year. but next year IL
would become troublesome to deal with
should many of the present laborers
depart.
Mr. Young reports that the Islands
had been looking TO Porto Rico as a
probable source OF fresh labor sup
ply. The planters have been told, how
ever, that there Is legal difficulty
with regard to the introduction NJ la
borers. because II has not yet been de-
cided that Porto Rico Is "A part of the
United States. The same difficulty
may exist with respect to Guam ana
the Philippines islands. One plan pro-
posed Is to make contracts with the
Italian immigrants arriving in New
York City. MIR. Young reports having
strong faith In the sugar business and
weak faith In the coffee. MIR. Young
said that there was much uncertainty
with respect to politics due to the fact
that the law establishing a Territor al
government was so amended an to give
universal suffrage for all citizens, in
Guiding the native Hawaiians.

Turnips Following Buck VIII cat.

That buckwheat is a bad crop to
plant Immediately before turnips is an
opinion held very generally by farmers,
some even declaring that this crop acts
as Il poison to the turnip and other
plants Also This opinion was COM
bated and the following experiment
tried to prove the matter. A turnip
field was plowed and otherwise pre-
pared for cropping. divided into two
equal plots, one being sown to buck
wheat, the other fallowed. After the
buckwheat had fiowered and was com
mencing to ripen it was cut. chopped
in a fodder cutter, returned to the soil
upon which it grew and turned under.
Some of the seed had ripeDed and fall
en- and there was soon a volunteer
crop of buckwheat. which was turned
under when Il few inches tall. At the
same time the other plot was prepared
for turnips. In all respects save the
growth of the buckwheat crop the plots
We're treated alike At harvest the
salable turnips from the buckwheat
plot weighed more than four times as
much as the salable ones upon the
other plot. They were also more nu-
merous and smaller upon the bare plot
than where the buckwheat had grown.
Certainly in this case the poisoning
was not very severe.-New England

Remedy for the Chinch Bng.

The Ohio agricultural experiment
station has found out new way to
fight the chinch bug. which ravages
corn. wheat and meadow. This is by
utilizing the chinch bug fungus to kill
other bugs. With favorable meteoro-
logical conditions the threadlike
branches of the chinch bug fungus take
possession of the interior of the bug.
When the bug dies, branches are
pushed out through the body and pro-
duce clusters of minute capsules filed
with spores. Sometimes these clusters
arc, so thick on the dead bugs as almost
to obscure the body. and only the legs
are visible. or the bugs may be clus-
tered on a plant, dead and covered with
fungus.
AS these capsules containing the
spores burst, they release the spores
and these may still further be diffused
by the wind. so that it is easy to see
how one diseased bug among mass
of several hundred may affect the
whole of them, and if some of the in
fected ones. before becoming helpless,
stray 10 II uiSldHct, lIe llllcCllOu Is
carried from place to place and in this
way diffused from field to field. How
ever easily large masses of bugs may
be destroyed by this fungus enemy,
under favorable conditions. the pros
pect of its working is not encouraging
if either the bugs are scattered badly
or the weather is dry.
This fungus is sent out. cultivated
artificially III n mixture of beef broth
and corn meal. which saves much time
and expense in securing and transport
ing the bugs to and fro from the sta
tion. The farmers who receive it are
instructed to cut the mass contained
In each box into bits the size of an
ordinary pin head and drop these bits
among the bugs, where these are
massed in great numbers, preferably
on low or damp ground.

Ornaments, skyscraper.

New York correspondence Pittsburg
Post: In an uptown side street a tall
building is approaching completion and
will be the first to exhibit popularity
of construction which has often been
urged here as the best means of miti-
eating the skyscraper's ugliness This
new building towers above Its neigh
bors, and under ordinary circum-
stances yards of unadorned brick
would face the spectator. But the
owner and architects have adopted the
plan imposed by law in Paris and have
decorated the sides OF the building.
This ornamentation. which is simple
and tasteful. conforms in style to the
principal facades of the building. al
though not nearly SO elaborate II all
the New York's towering buildings had
been treated in the same fashion, OBJ

Dr.. Cunningham Geikie gives the. fol-
lowing saddening report of the prevalence
of drinking habits in England;
Temperance has done much in the last
generation to oppose this had passion,
but even in America victory is still far
ahead. Here in England the woes OF in
temperance may be judge by its sad COM
monness, for the consumption OF strong
drink in the States is not much more than
half per head of that with lis. Were our
outlay in alcohol no higher than yours, it
would save us no less than S2S5 900 900 a
year-and how many woes would that
heal?
Our drink bill for 1883 was nearly S772,-
500 900, which comes to nearly S33 for
every living creature old enough to crave
such drink. In my parish | found many
workmen who drank over 81 week out

Water for the Cows,

The Geneva experiment station
claims to have ascertained that cows
in full milk need four and three-tifths
pounds of water for each pound OF
milk they yield. AS records have been
made by Holstein cows, or one at
least, of over 100 pounds per day, does
this mean that she took about 60 gal
Ions of water day. We can scarcely
credit it, although we know that green
grass or ensilage contain large
amount of water, but we think not
enough to bring her daily allowance up
to 60 gallons day. even though she
was fed on the most succulent food. If
our memory serves us rightly. when we
had dairy herd the cows which gave
the most milk We're not the ones that
drank most heartily at the trough.
When the water was very cold, OF
when there was ice in the trough the
ones that drank the most freely were
the ones that shrank in their milk. and
the dry cows, but those which gave
milk continuously were not hearty
drinkers in fall or winter. Will they
not see if they cannot revise those fig
ures little or acknowledge excep-
tions to the rule?

mre detrimental to the productive ca.
liabilities of pasture or meadow than
any other weed or circumstance. The
presence of moss may be due to vari
Gus causes, but it is generally safe to
conclude that where moss abounds
there is some condition conducive to
the healthy development of the more
valuable plants wanting, or not proper
ly represented. Poverty in some form,
either of fertility or of good plants.
is. of course, a fruitful source of the
noxious growth. but often it is trace
able to over richness in the priceless
humus, and sometimes to solidity of
the surface soil, and in some cases
even to excessive looseness Of the SOIL
In short, the presence Of moss is not
regulated SO much by the conditions
favorable to its development, for 1T
seems capable of thriving under any
condition, as by those which tend to
promote the healthy growth of the
less tenacious grasses and clovers.
Accordingly. the best means of pre-
venting the development Of this worth
less growth, or of combating it after
it has attained hold, is to encourage
the more useful plants by mechanical
and chemical means. What the effect
ual treatment may consist of can be
ascertained only by local experiment.
The trials which have been in progress
for couple of seasons at the Wye col
lege. in Kent. show that for the light,
chalky soil obtaining there constant
rolling and narrowing, with the tread
ing of sheep, are the only means of
keeping the moss down. The loosen
ing of the soil by means of a fork was
actually harmful, though on heavy
land this method of aiding ventilation
might be useful. Lime and basic Stag,
though often beneficial, were unavail-
ing. Superphosphate was productive
of some little effect.-London Post.
