WHY NEW ZEALAND DIDN'T JOIN.


 Some time ago New Zealand declined to join the Australian commonwealth the subject has now been submitted to the New Zealand parliament It con- lative independence, finance, public de- fence, postal and telegraphic service, agriculture, commercial and industrial interests, etc. and comes to the con clusion that in federation New Zealand would have little or nothing to gain and almost everything to lose As re- gards national defence the Conrnis- soners argue that so long as Great Britain holds the command of the sea New Zealand will be quite able t) un- dertake her own defaeco. On the other hand, should Great Britain lose com mand of the sea, Australia and New Zealand might not be able to render material assistance to each other against a foreign Power. Even as a separate colony New Zealand would render to Australia all possible assist ance in war time, and doubtless similar assistance would be, given by Australia to New Zealand. The Commonwealth of Australia, they admit, will profit greatly from being able to unite the local forces of the several states in one federal force, with a uniform system,

ARGUED To
THE COURT
Pearl Harbor Suit
Before Judge
Estee.
PROCEDURE
IS NONDESCRIPT
Plumbing Suit Dismissed as to Few
Defendants Mckinley Reso.
luton Committee.

The Pearl Harbor condemnation suits
were before Judge Estee yesterday for
the third time on a technicaltty. In
stead of arguingNhe right Of respond
ents to a Jury II ~ the entire day was
spent in considering motion by United
States Attorney Dunno to strike out
the amended answers newly filed. The
jury question was not considered at all,
and the court announced that it would
not pass upon that question until all
the pleadings were in, and the issues
properly Joined.
Mr.. Dunno contended that the an
swers were not proper and should be
stricken out, as false, and as being sub
stituted instead of amended. He insist
ed that the original answers admitted
all the facts except the allegation as to
the value of the property condemned
and consequently the new answers We're
false on their face.
Judge Siliman argued the case for the
defendants, and contended that the
question before the court was one of
law practice, and that the answers of
respondents followed out the Hawaiian
law in that respect, which made gen
eral denials proper. He said it was a
difficult matter to comply with the
practice Of the Hawaiian courts. but
that the Federal statutes plainly said
that such procedure should be followed,
and left no other recourse to the court.
He argued further that special pleas
might be filed separately, and it was
with view to helping the United States
Attorney and eXpediting the trial of the
case, that the answers setting out in
detail, respondents defense and plea had
been filed. The. mode of practice here
is nOndesCript. artificial and absurd,
said Mr.. Silltman, but it has been in
vogue for fifty years, and the United
States laws say it shall be followed in
the courts now. We believed that ii
was better for both sides to this action
to make open admissions of facts, and
| expected to be met by the same liberal
policy on the part of the United States
Instead we are met from the first by
sharp technicaIity, and are put on oul
guard Our new answer, making gen
eral denial was then filed, so that We
might secure all our rights
The court in reply to the argument
as to the mode of practice said, You
come into court and say this practice
is nondescript and yet l must follow
it.
| The court doesn't think that tbs
! government is trying to take any i'd

| PENDANTS property was assessed fol

United States statute which said that
he must follow the procedure in the
Territory, The section quoted related
only to States. and Mr.. Silliman said
that it would apply to the Territory
from inference The court didn't ap-
pear to take that view of the matter,
and stated that the Supreme Court of
the United States had decided that
Territories belonged to the United
States, and the laws governing States
did not apply with the same effect to
Territories. Mr.. Silliman replied that
If this was true. the United States had
no standing in court under the action
brought in the Pearl Harbor suits, as
the law under which the suits were
instituted applied only to the States, as
did the section quoted, referring to
method of procedure. The question was
not finally disposed OF when court ad-
journed until this morning.
THE PLUMBERS SUIT.
In the case of Brown VS.. Davidson,
damages, the court made an order dis
missing the action as to all defend
ants not served. Judge Estee stated
that when an attorney joined in an
application fixing time to answer, he
technically accepted service for all de-
PENDANTS; but stated he was willing to
give defendants the benefit of the
doubt. Mr.. Fitch, attorney for plain
tiff, stated that his client did not insist

defendants.

and it is necessary to use more seed per acre than would otherwise be re- quired.
 Alfalfa grows better on lands re- quiring irrigation than on naturally moist soils, simply because the latter do not, as rule, have good drainage.
 Alfalfa Hay.
 There is no better hay plant than alfalfa in regions where it will grow. The making of hay requires consider able skill on account of the nature of the plant. If the hay is put into stacks or into barns before the stems are cured it is liable to heat and mold and if it is allowed to lie upon the ground too long before stacking, the leaves get dry and brittle, and will drop off, and a large share of the most valuable part of the forage will be lost. To make the best hay, the field should be cut just when the first flowers commence to appear. If a1- lowed to go until in full bloom, or un- til after the plants have finished towering, the stems become hard and woody, and are unfit to be eaten by stock. To make good hay, cut alfalfa in the forenoon. Let it lie in the swath until the leaves are thoroughly

It is often better to SOW without a nurse crop and get a good stand than to get crop of wheat or oat hay or a small crop of grain and have poor stand of all falfa, resulting from so many of the plants being choked out. There is some little advantage, however, in this system, in that the rank growth of weeds is prevented; but the ac- companying small grain is liable to be just as injurious as rank growth of useless weeds would be- If nurse crop is used. the alfalfa should be sown after the grain, and should be covered to the depth of not more than one inch with a light harrow or brush Still better results will follow if the seed is rolled in after the oats or wheat have been sown. All kinds of grasses, clovers, and small grain grow better, and better stand is al ways secured, if the soil is pressed down around the seed. and this can best be done with a roller. Alfalfa does not often winter-kill unless it is cut too late in the season.
 In some parts of California small birds are quite a pest at seeding time

wilted, but not dry and brittle; then rake in windrows and leave it little while, and remove it from the wind rows directly to the stack or to the barns. The best machine for this pur- pose is a stacker. or some machine constructed on the principle of the old-fashioned "go-devil." It is better to stack it in the field than to carry it long distance to a barn, for al falfa hay should be handled as little as possible. Every time it is forked over some of the leaves will be lost, and the leaves are the most palatable and nutritious part of the hay.
 The art of making good alfalfa hay is to be acquired by practice rather than by following directions, as the quality depends upon putting it in stack when it is just sufficiently cured to keep without heating, and is yet green enough to hold the leaves. This happy mean can be acquired only as the result of practice. In the Eastern States the general practice is to cure in windrows, and then put in cocks five or six feet high and as small as will stand. If the cocks are too large they must be opened out in a day or

be well drained. If the subsOil is heavy and stiff and impervious to water, alfalfa will not be a permanent success, no matter how we'll the sur- face soil has been prepared. Under these conditions there can be no cer- tainty of the plant living beyond year or two.
 Preparation of the Soil.
 A clean piece of ground should be selected, and it should be thoroughly plowed and subsoiled. If the farmer has no subsoiling blow, the best sub- stitute is two turning blows, the one following in the furrOw made by the other. The best results from this crop are obtained after the second year, because alfalfa does not reach ma utrity until the third or fourth sea- son. Hence, the field selected should be one that can be kept in alfalfa for a number of years. The first cost of deep and thorough preparation of the soil may seem large, but it must be remembered that the farmer ex- poets to take two or more cuttings off the land each year for from three to thirty years. The primary expense of

this work will commence this fall, when probably from 50,000 to 100000 acres will be planted in that section. Following is the information on this subject given by the Agricultural De- partment of the government:
 Soil and Conditions of Growth.
 Alfalfa will grow in favorable soil anywhere from above sea level to 1000 feet elevation. The limit of altitude is attained in the foothills and noun tain valleys of California and Colo rado. Alfalfa does not seem to be in fiuenced so much by altitude as by such conditions as the depth and warmth of the soil, the depth of the ground water below the surface and the physical character of the subsOil. It grows best in a light and sandy rich loam underlaid by a loose and permeable subsoil. The best cOndi- tions for the growth of this plant seem to be attained in the arid re- gions of the West and Southwest, where there is a light rainfall, and the water supply can be accordingly arti- ficially controlled. The plant grows

best under irrigation. Good drainage
 is necessary, as the plants are quickly killed by excess of water in the soil or on the surface. Water must never be allowed to stand on a field of al- falfa more than forty-eight hours at a time, for, if the ground becomes sat urated with water and is allowed to remain SO for any considerable time, the plants will be drowned out and the roots will decay. Alfalfa feeds most heavily on lime, potash, mag nesium, and phosphoric acid, and suc- ceeds best where the soil is rich in these elements. Of these soil constit- uents, lime seems to be the most es- sential to rapid growth, and there will not be large or paying crop on soils lacking this fertilizer The prime condition for success is that the land

Cultivation Ot Alfalfa.
 The government has recently issued a bulletin giving full information rel ative to the cultivation of alfalfa that will be of interest to many who pro- pose growing this crop, and who have had little or no experience in this line of farming. We publish herewith CO., pious extracts from that bulletin talk ing that portion suited to the condi tions as we find them here in South ern California. During the next few years hundreds of thousands of acres will be planted to alfalfa in the I'm perial Settlements in San Diego county under the Imperial Canal, and

a thorough preparation is, in a sense, thus spread over a series of thirty years Deep blowing pays, because there will be greater yield from the land than in the case of the too common shallow cultivation After blowing, the field must be narrowed and rolled several times, or until the seed bed is perfectly smooth and mel low.
Imperial press and farmer., 1901-11-23
Sowing the Seed.

In California and the Southwest Pulverize the soil to the depth of from 12 to 20 inches-the deeper the better. Twenty-Five pounds of seed is about the average amount to SOW per acre. Many farmers report fair results from less amount, say 12 to 15 pounds per acre. The seed can be drilled in rows or cultivated or sown broadcast The time of seeding varies much in prac- tice, being any time from August to the middle of December or from Feb- ruary to April. Those who practice spring sowing usually SOW with oats or wheat as nurse crop. If this method is followed, one or two crops of hay can be cut the first season, after the grain crop has been taken off.
