a WORD OF WARNING.

Irthe farmers Of the South will
act with wisdom born OF expert
ence this year and not plant the
earth in cotton, manuied with eA-
nensive fertilizers. they Will have
the situation well in hand next
fall. and can almost dictate their
price to the buyers. With cotton
at eight and half cents at plant
jnc. tima,the bait is very allurng>
and we fear, that the same thing
which has happened so many
times will be repeated.
II experience counts for any
thing the bitter past ought to con-
virce the farmer that he cannot
atford to increase. his acreage at
the present price OF fertilizers.
BY diversiiying his crops he can
use homemade manureS TO Il large
extent and defy the trust. and be-
i :es pave the way for a far pace
for his produce.
We do not alTogate to oHTscli
superior wisdom to those who
have made farming a lifelong
study. and we feel Ioath to offer
the advice" that is SO freely
given them: at the same time tits
incumbent upon Us 10 utter a word
Of warning at this time. which we
do in all humility ard sincerity.
Tie outlook for the farmer is
brighter than it has teen iUr years.
70 certain extent he has jhe
future in his own hands, ana on
this years crop largely hangs his
iate for a year or two, at least.
BY united effort the present fer
tilizer trust can be smashed as
surely as was that OF the jute bag
g;ng in 81. The pr.ce Of terti.
i2erS has advanced beyond all
reason. and for the planter Of
limited means TO buy Il quantity
Oh time is inviting disaster upon
himself.
We do not attempt to do more
4han put our farmer friends to
thinking. As our patronage is
largely made up OF this class, and
their prosperity Is coryelative with
opr success. We feel that We would

President of Board of Health.-Sir: As
requested by you, ] have made an ex-
animation of the fence built around
the infected district, and would re-
port as follows:
The first Cause of the specification
requires The fence-posts to be ''set not
over 8 0" on centers." Very many Of
the posts are more than s. 0" on CEN
tiers. should say that nearly one-half
of the spaces between posts were more
than that specified-some g. 10", and
some even more.
The posts were TO be set "a" into the
ground and the earth well tamped
around them to make solid. | have no
means OF knowing how deep the posts
were set, but the earth was not solid
/ ly taInped. The posts can be pushed
over without difficulty in a large paBt
of the fence, and the winds or other
causes have so moved the fence in
many places that it is eight inches or
more out of plumb. Where there was
any obstruction in the way of digging
a post-hole, no attempt was made TO
make the hole as specified; but the
posts were set on the ground and small
| braces were put I'D to hold the posts.
Inc lOp VI LuS AtuSS DOdTuS were
not placed or cut to line, and the ap-
| pearance of the fence is very bad.
/ That the boards had to fit close down
to the ground is no reason that the top
| should not be on a line. 1t would
! simply have been a matter of cutting
the boards to place.
| The gates are but an excuse tor
gates; pieces of 2x3, some of them not
| long enough to extend across the gate
and patched out; braces not long
enough to reach from one side to the
other; no provision for securing the
gates in the center by a post set in
| the ground, as specified
! The demand of the specifications
| that this work be done in good, sub
stantial manner has not been met. The
fence, as whole, does not conform to
| the requirements of the specifications.
| There are places where the work is
substantially as called for, but as a
whole it is done in slipshod manner,
and even at this time, but few days
after it's completion, it needs repairing
in many places.
Very respectfully submitted,

Board of Health Meets.

Although the Board of Health meet
ing started at 1920 p. m. yesterday
with only part of the members pres
ent. there was full attendance be-
fore the Board had proceeded far in its
deliberations. The meeting opened
with the reading of the minutes, The
resolutions passed by the Board while
viewing the All Chong premises, in
King street, near the Waikiki turn, on
Tuesday, were also read and incoTpor-
ated in the minutes.
President Wood then read the report
up to date of the number Of cases OF
bubonic plague which have occurred in
Honolulu. This report appears above.
Mr.. Russell's bill for fencing the in
| fected district was submitted to the
| Board. DR. Wood gave out the figures.
| The bill calls for S3,459.3S for 1852 feet
of fencing at about 80 cents foot.
Mr.. Russell wanted the bill approved.
There was some fault to be found with
the fences, and DR.. Wood pointed out
/ a few things in their construction
which needed improvement or altera-
ton. In several instances the con-
tractor was evidently at fault; that
was the opinion of the Board. In this
connection DIR. Wood read a letter
from Mr.. Ripley, who had made the
specifications for the fences around the
burnt districts. 1t was moved and car
ried that the matter be referred to Mr..
Ripley, to see that the fences were put
in a satisfactory condition.
DR.. Wood said, addressing the other
members of the Board:
1T Is a very important matter that
the fences which the Board caused to
be erected around the burnt district
be in every way satisfactory. IL Mr.,
Russell has not lived up to his contract
then it Is only right that he should
make such alterations in the fences as
are necessary to fill the contract.
have examined the fencing myself and
have found that in many places the re-
duirements have not been met. l real
lie the difficulty of planting posts in
the coral in some places, and see thai
where posts are only in the Superficial
earth and are not planted at the re-
uuired depth on account of the pres
ence of coral; that braces have beer
placed to make up for the deficiency o.
strength. The fences. are likely 10 b'
more or less permanent, and should b'

The Republican party has always
stood squarely for a fair vote and an
