Wooden Walled Cisterns.

Cisterns made in the form of large
tank and let into the ground possess
several advantages over the walled and
cemented affairs, aside from the first
cost. While good cemented cistern is
hard to improve upon, 1t is fact that
there are but comparatively few that
do not leak water out or in. And where
a crack is once developed, 1t is next to
impossible to stop it so that water will
not pass through. The first cost Of a
wooden cistern that will hold seventy
FIVE barrels will not exceed $25. And
then the expense is stopped, for If well
made of the right material there will
be little danger of leakage. They seem
to give the best Of satisfaction where in
use.-J. L. Irwin.

HOtbeds,


Whoever has hotbed in which to
start early plants for setting in the
garden should also have a cold frame
into which he can transplant some of
them to give them more room and
harden them up little before setting
them in the open ground. OF course
there are some who sow so late in the
hotbed that this is not necessary, but
they do not get their plants so well ad-
vanced, and gain but a week or two
when they should gain as many
months. Many are at a loss to know
when the temperature is right for SOW
ing seed in the hotbed. The best way
is to use a thermometer, as one fairly
good can be bought for a few cents
Plants which require much heat to
terminate in open air, like tomatoes,
peppers, egg plants or melons, should
go in when the heat is at or about 80
degrees, while cabbages, cauliflowers
and other medium early plants will do
better if the glass does not mark above
80 degrees, and lettuce or radish would
sprout readily at 20 degrees.-Ex-

"a good garden is half the farm"
says one writer, and 'the garden fur
nishes about one-half of our living in
table every day In winter" says an
other, and neither of them is a vege-
tartan, though with a liking for fresh
vegetables and fruits in season. To
have good garden the first requisite
Is a piece of strong but well-drained
land, well MANFRED. 1t should not be
shaded with trees, nor should it be on
northerly slope, If possible to get a
southerly or easterly slope. Certain
crops belong in permanent garden,
and may be in one place for several
years. The pie plant, asparagus, the
bush fruits and grapes or peach trees
may be on the south side of a high
board fence at the north end of the
garden. In front of these the hotbeds
and cold frames may be permanent fix
lures. Onions do well for many years
In the same locality, and so will celery
or carrots, though not so long. Sweet
corn may follow sweet corn for many
years in the same place, and SO may
peas, but If 1t is desired to put In an
other crop after peas or early corn, it
is not so easy to find the late crop that
grows well two years in the same To-
cality. Cabbages and turnips certain
ly will not. For this reason, when on a
farm, we preferred to move our gar
den, or at least the peas, corn, vines
of all kinds, beans and all roots to a
new location every few years, or so
often that we did not have the same
place oftener than once in five or six
years. Even for such crops as lettuce,
spinach, kale and dandelion a new To-
cality is better than to continue them
for many years, though sometimes
they can be changed about with other
crops, But with only a village lot one
must change about, or omit some crops
for few years to get insects and
fungous diseases out of the soil. If
one will take this trouble, and will be
sure to obtain good seed from reliable
seedsmen, and put in work enough to
keep it in good condition, the garden
will not only furnish half the living for
the family, but sales of surplus from
it may help greatly in buying the other
half.-American Cultivator.

Sailing Their Land.


Two farmers living near lola, KAN,
have received a 40,000-pound car of
salt from Hutchinson, which they will
use on their farm. Both have extern
sive farm interests which they look
after themselves, and they propose to
sow the salt with oats, wheat and fax,
on the theory that land SO treated is
given the chemicals required by those
grains and In the belief that chinch
bugs will shun the fields. Some of their
impractical town friends have rather a
hankering for the belief that wheat so
treated will grow loaves of salt-rising
bread. At any rate the test is one
which will be watched with interest,
and the farmers may reap good re-
turns from the 500 or more invested
by these gentlemen in an experiment.

George Summers Under Arrest for
Riding a Strong Box in the Burned
District of Chinatown.

The man who would steal a red hot
safe has been found. He is George
Summers who has already spent about
twelve of his summers on the reef.
George has been employed in the
work Of cleaning up the burnt district.
Yesterday the guard who is on duty at
the row of rescued safes on Nuuanu
street left his post for some reason.
Temptation came to George and he
couldn't resist it. He picked up the
likeliest looking safe he could carry,
strong box which had been found in
the ruins a few hours previously. 1t
was not red hot at this time, but it had

man on the roof of the building heard
the noise he made and looking over the
roof saw him. He called to George
Kauai the guard at Beretania and
Nuuanu street. The latter could not
leave his own post but sent lola. a
telephone lineman in a break for the
guard who should have been on duty
at the safes. The latter was quickly
found and took Summers into custody,
and turned him over to David KAPPA
who had been summoned from the Po-
lice Station.
Summers happened to take the wrong
safe, and so did not get very much
money. He got all there was, however.
but gave it up to the authorities on
his arrest.
AS Summers has been inside the
burnt district. and so in quarantine,
ne will not be tried for some days yet.
1t is said of him that soon after his
release from prison at the expiration
of one of his sentences, he broke into
the Jail and robbed the stable.

RUSSIAN SUGAR.

OF the beet harvest in Russia in 1899,
Consul General Holloway of st, Peters
burg, writes:
The department of unassessed taxes
and Government sale of liquors has
compiled a preliminary statement con-
corning the outlook for the beet har-
vest and its quality in 1899, based on
information furnished September liz.
1899, by the excise collectors, which
places the harvest of beet in Europe
an Russia during the present year at
S,026,513 tons, against 61S2, 1874 tons in
1898. OF that amount the southwestern
region will furnish 3,91S 173 tons; the
central. 2,267,21S tons; and the Vistula
region, S4l, 122 tons. An increase of 1877
per cent is expected. In the southwest
ern region, 1913 per cent; in the CEN
trail, 1876 per cent; and in the Vistula,
ST per cont. The average harvest per
acre in European Russia amounted to
tons, against tons in 1898. The
quality of this years crop is below that
of last year in three-fourths of the
area in beet roots.
