Our Supreme Court.

1t was whispered at the govern.
ment building this morning that
the judges OF the Supreme Court
had received their commissions, and
that tie sacred Court would be
opened at 10 a. m. sharp, the Adver-
tiser to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
Nearly all the members OF the Bar
were on deck in time. There were
about 239 strangers, who have been
admitted" and four attorneys whose
names are wsll-known to the kama
ainas. "Billy" Smith introduced q
new partner, and Paul Neumann
looked bewildered when he made a
speech on behalf of the members Of
the Bar, most of whom he didn't
know by sight even.
In the meantime the hands OF the
clock showed that Father Time had
passed the ten,spot, Then the re-
lentless hands showed that 1O:3O
was a thing of the past, and yet
there wasn't a judge in sight.
The handsome bailiff looked nerv-
Gus but he couldn't produce the
judges aud things looked gloomy
until IL o'clock, when Justices
Frear, Perry and Galbraith made
their appearance before the impa-
tient members Of the Bar and the
people who had business in Court.
Our dicky-bird was perched on
the window outside Of Judge Frear's
Office and informed us why the de-
lay in opening the court occurred.
The three legal luminaries had
gathered, and Mr.. Frear said "come
on boys, and let us spring the
racket"
Goodness graciousw said the
light from the Hilo Bar,
II haven't got toga."
whats toga7" drawled Judge
Perry from grippe-infected throat,
and he was told it was "a thing to
put on you when you are a judge"
Here was dilemma, but Judge
Frear was up to-date. He glanced
nt Galbraith's manly form and said
"hurry up and borrow the one Judge
Whiting u,ed.
A messenger was dispatched and
returned with words that Judge
Whiting wasn't in the tailoring
business and only used other peo-
ple's uniform when sitting as
colonel on a courtmartial. The
toga was used as a bathing suit and
could be found at Kuliouou.
The messenger was sent to that
distant place and shortly after IL
o'clock the three Justices appeared
in dignity and togas and
;he Supreme Court OF the Territory
of Hawaii was formally opened.

honor was paid TO Americas great

to redress require neither the plati-

Of professional orators but the

and let the wise women advise

has done in many points, will again

The organic law passed by Con.
gress for Hawaii provides for local
option as far as the sale OF liquor
is concerned. 1t is left with our
territorial legislature TO say on what
terms liquor is to be sold in Ha.
waii, but before the legislature has
met, before the question has been
discussed even, Mr. Dole takes unto
himself the power to decide a mat
ter which is wholly in the hands OF
the representatives Of the people.
What right has Mr.. Dole to say that
he will prevent saloons on Fort
street? What right has he to decide
the terms under which liquor H.
censes are to be granted, and whe-
ther the Orpheum or any other
public place shall have the right to
furnish refreshments. Let public
opinion prevail in matters of this
nature, or Governor Dole will very
soon find out that he does not re-
present public sentiment, in fact
that he does not understand it.

SHORT OF HAY.
Farms
Buncombe Co., n. G.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
All indications are that the hay
crop will be none too large this sea-
son to supply the demand, especially
in view of the increased trade in hay
with Cuba and Porto Rico. For the
past year good hay has sold at prices
sufficiently high to make the work
of raising it satisfactory, and now
the crop in several States threatens
to be poor and small. Hay will con-
sequently he high-priced feeding ma
teria1 for farm animals next winter,
and a little saving of the material
from now on will make quite diff
ference in the final profit. Like
everything else it is the better class
of hay that pays the best, while even
in a good market the poor grades
are low-priced, and as it costs as
much per ton to ship this to the city
we might make surer returns by
feeding it to cattle and shipping only
the best. This principle, if observed
closely, will save many disappoint
ment.
It is not too late to make some
amends for the hay crop failure, and
by seeding Immediately we can raise
enough home hay to carry the
cattle through the fall and early
winter. This viii give the oppor-
tunity to sell all of the choicest
grades for top market prices. In
places where the grass stand is poor
it will pay to cut it off short, and
then plow up that portion of the

welding city and country together,
and will in time turn the tide of emf
grafton, which now sets in from the
country into the cities, back from
the overcrowded purlieus of the
cities into the free air and whole

With we'll built agricultural roads
traversing every part of this great
country, and the free delivery of the

that a social revolution will be
effected the benefits of which will be
felt for generations to come.

THE RUTABAGA OR SWEDISH TURN1p.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer
The rutabaga is supposed to have
originated by long cultivation of the
wild tr0sSicG rGpG,a native of Great
Britain and other parts of Europe. It
was in use as a vegetable before the
Christian era, but we have no account
of it's being cultivated to any extent
as field crop previous to 1900.
At the present day, every country
adapted to it's growth has it's own
ways of planting. A deep, we'll
drained soil deeply plowed is un-
doubtedly best for rutabagas
Drought, I think, is one of the great
est enemies of the crop, and unless
your ground is in fine mealy con-
dition, your seed is better in the bag
I grow them entirely as a second
crop following early potatoes, peas,
&c. The ground being manured the
previous fall, requires nothing more
in the way of fertilizer to make the
crop, as too much manure has a ten
dency to force the crop too heavy for
market garden purposes.
Seed should be sown at the rate of
~ ounces to $50 feet of drill, or 2
pounds to the acre. To insure a
good stand, one ought to be careful
to put plenty of seed in the ground.
SOW them with the seed drill "a
inches between the rows, and single
them out to inches in the row. The
cultivating starts as soon as the
young plants start their rough leaf
If the soil is packed by singing out
and rain, cultivate as soon as pos
sible and then in three Or four days
follow with the horse weeder. This
keeps the ground in perfectly level
state of cultivation, SO as it will hold
moisture. If your ground forms "a
crust and gets hard, it then has
capillary tubes we'll established and
the evaporation from this unbroken
surface is great The moisture ac-
cumulated in the subsoil works up
towards the surface by what we call
capillary attraction, the same as oil
rises in your lamp wick. In this
way a crop may use considerable
moisture over and above what comes
from the clouds during the season.
The loose broken surface acts as a
mulch. The water works up through
the frmer soil below and supplies
your crop, but is prevented from
reaching the surface (where the sun
and wind would drink it up) by your
mulch of loose earth. In storing
away the roots for the winter, find
it best done by pitting them in long
narrow pits on dry piece of ground
and covering them with straw to the
depth of six inches, and when cold
weather sets in bank them with soil
deep enough to keep frost out. In
this way kept them last year till
the first of April and they came out
perfectly sound. @. S. ARTHUR.

TO FIGHT THE BAGG1NG TRUST.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
A battle to be refought-the same
old battle that Southern farmers
fought and won ten years ago is now
to fight over again, we are informed.
That the American Manufacturing
Company of New York controls the
cotton bagging of the country, and
the American Steel Hoop Company,
which is included in the great Fed
eral Steel Trust, controls the tie out
put. The Ludlows, Boston, Mass,
are still in the cotton bagging bust
ness, but they are in close alliance
with the American Manufacturing
Company, Of New York, and make
exactly the same terms and prices.
The result is, for several menths the
quotations on ties and bagging have
remained unchanged, but now an in
crease of about ~ cents per yard
has been made in the price of bag
ging, and the trusts have given no.
tice that a further increase in prices
may be expected. While nominally
the bagging business is being con-
Quoted both by the Ludlows and the
American Manufacturing Company
both send out exactly the same price
list and made exactly the same terms.
Their terms are spot cash and no
credit. In view of these facts be it
ResoJred, by Justice Alliance, No.
1 ,O63, that we re-affrm our faithful
ness to our Order and affirm that not
a yard of said bagging will we use if
possible to avoid it, preferring to
use any other substitute for a cover
ing.
2. That we hereby denounce all
monopolies, mbinations, or trusts
that are unjustly treating the indus
tries of our country and the farmers
with no guarantee of prices as to
their output Of commodities. We
furthermore request our business
men with whom we deal to be care
full in purchasing bagging and re-
member the substitutes, as their CO.
operation will be highly appreciated
by us. Be it further requested that
we respectfully ask our Sub-Ali-
ances and all who feel an interest in
agricultural industries Of this our
Southland to adopt said or similar
resolutions and cooperate with US
in battling for the right against
those who would put upon us bur
dens too grievous and heavy to en-
dure, financially.

field and SOW new seed. In this way
we may secure even as late as mid
summer a pretty fair second crop.
The grass cut from the first crop
will cure we'll enough for early win
ter feeding. Get good seed and SOW
carefully, and make the seed bed
compact and mellow. The Hunga-
rian is a good seed for this late SOW
ing, as it will stand a good deal of
heat and dryness, and it makes ex-
cellent food for sheep and milch
COWS. A second crop of Hungarian
planted in July has given an average
crop of hay, which without it would
have proved only half an ordinary
yield. The Hungarian should be
cut early and before it comes into
full head, and if sown carefully it
will yield a heavy crop. Millet and
sorghum are even better than Hun
garian for coarse fodder, as they
produce much heavier crops. It
might be good plan to try all three
grasses and find out which one is
best suited to the soil. A good deal
also depends upon what kind of cat
tie are to be fed. Fine, high bred
dairy COWS that produce milk and
cream for the fancy trade would
hardly find in sorghum the ideal
food for their best development, but
sheep and coarse cattle would thrive
all right on millet, sorghum or Hun
garian. S. W. CHAMBERS.

VALUE OF RAPE.

We quote the following from the
report of an experiment made at the
Wisconsin Station
1.-The results of our experiments in
fattening lambs on rape, show that
the average amount gained per head
weekly has been 2% pounds. About
one pound of grain per head daily
has been the average amount fed
with the rape. Using our results in
a conservative way, it may be said
that if 40 lambs are fed off an acre
of rape and given some pasture and
an average of one pound of grain
per head daily, they will produce at
least 400 pounds of mutton from the
acre in one month. Two tests We're
made at the same station in feeding
rape to pigs. The first trial was
made with two lots of ten pigs each.
One lot was fed in pen, a grain
ration of corn and bran 2 to 1. The
corn was soaked and mixed with the
bran in a slop. The lot received a
less amount of the same grain ration,
and, in addition, were allowed the
run of a 32-1OO acre field of rape. In
rs days the ten pigs on rape con-
sumed 1886 pounds of corn and $50
pounds of bran, and gained 853
pounds. The lot fed in a pen con-
sumed 2,096 pounds of corn and /, ,042
pounds of bran and gained 857
pounds. The gains were practically
the same in each case. In other
words the rape grown on 3226 of
one acre was equivalent to 1862
pounds of grain. In the second ex-
pertinent the gains of the two lots
were practically the same Taking
the average of the two trials, one
acre Of rape was equivalent to 2,767
pounds of grain fed. The report
adds: It (rape) gives every promise
of proving an excellent crop for pas
turing brood sows and young pigs. .
