Busy at the Naval Station.
When a ship of the navy is in port
things are kept moving at the Homo
lulu naval station. The Solace, lying at
the Richards street wharf, is keeping
the officers of the station on the jump
most of the time She has to be sup
piled with 400 tons of coal and also re-
quires many various kinds of stores
and supplies and hundred and one
little things which would never be
thought of by civilian.
Lieutenant Commander Pond and
Clerk Arthur L. Merry had looked for
letters from Captain Merry. who is in
Guam, by the Solace None were re-
ceived, however. The officers of the
Solace brought the news that Captain
Merry was enjoying good health and
that he and has party were doing good
work and making great progress. Cap
tain Merry was of the opinion that he
would be back again in Honolulu in
three months time. Captain Merry
sent by the Solace fifty small selected
cocoanut trees. to be planted on the
grounds of the naval station here.
When grown the trees will be beauti-
full ornament to the station.
MEXICAN tor San Francisco.
The clipper bark Mohican, Comman-
der E. V. Kelley, will sail today for San
Francisco with a full load of passen-
gers and sugar.
1t is to be hoped that the Mohican
will encounter fine weather on the trip
to the Coast, as Commander Kelley
complains a great deal about getting
caught in some heavy squalls recently,
with no shelter in sight.
The Mohican arrived in port on jan
uary Is with a cargo of general mer-
lchandise for San Francisco.

least 100 feet above the water-level,
has been more so. In the spring of 1896
I broke fifty acres of what has always
been termed the "semi-arid hills" of
Nebraska-those hills which border the
Platte valley for more than 300 miles.
1t was my intention to backset this land
that fall and subsoil it, but was pre-
vented from doing so by the early
freezing of the ground. This was done
in the spring Of 1897, and, as it proved,
at very unfortunate time, as there
was no rain after the land was fitted
and sown for more than six weeks,
which made the prospect of good al
falfa catch in the hills quite gloomy.
At last, however, early in June, the
rains came, and in few days there was
such a color upon those hills as had
never been seen there before, and this
season, in spite Of an unusually dry
summer, cut one ton to the acre and
then had four months of good pastur-
ing.
Being curious to ascertain to how
great depth the roots of these plants
had penetrated, took my spade, and
found them more than five feet long, on
an average. I now judge that these
hills, in place of being worthless, are
better worth fifty dollars per acre to
grow crops upon, with alfalfa as a
pioneer crop, than most of the best Sc
curities before the public are worth the
prices quoted, leaving very wide
margin so far as the per cent. of income
is concerned in favor of the alfalfa land.
Another advantage in having these
hills in alfalfa is that since they were
seeded there has been no washing of
the hillsides, no matter how violent the
storm, all the moisture finding it's way
into the ground and being conserved
As Fertilizer.
Not the least valuable feature of the
alfalfa plant, to my mind, is it's great
fertilizing power, it's value when
ploughed under for subsequent crops be-
ing almost beyond belief. In this con-
nection I desire to refer you to that
painstaking and exhaustive expert
menter, Prof. Edward B. Voorhees,, of
the New Jersey Experiment Station,
who found that "the amount of plant
food collected from one acre and it's
value on the basis of the prices per
pound of plant food for the years 1887,
1888, 1885," was as follows:

POUNDS PER ACRE.

You will please bear in mind that
these prices for nitrogen, potash and
phosphoric acid were what the fertilizer
manufacturers had to pay for them at
that time without the profits which
they added to them when they sold

to the acre. 1t all came up we'll, but
everything except the bluegrass and
alfalfa has disappeared. This field,
after fourteen years, has such perfect
mat of blue grass between the alfalfa
plants-some of which are rod apart
and some very close together, showing
the seed was not we'll mixed-that the
alfalfa plants have never been able to
multiply themselves to any extent by
the scattering of the seed, as they do
quite frequently on other portions Of
the farm where there is no turf to pre-
vent the seed from roofing. On this
twenty acres, the yield from which I
have above referred to, there was pas
tured on an average this past summer
twenty-five COWS. The people who
rented of me wanted to get all they
could out of it, and counted at one
time thirty seven head Of grown stock
upon it. I have farmed in the Con-
necticut valley, and grown ton and
quarter of tobacco to the acre. have
raised fruit trees on the slopes of the
Sierra Nevadas, and am familiar with
the soils of Ohio, Michigan, and the
bluegrass region of Kentucky, but
have never seen such results in the way
of vegetable growth as this field of
alfalfa and bluegrass presents. Here
is field fourteen years old which in a
year of drought furnished me a revenue
of over $500, or $25 per acre, from two
cuttings, the second having been
destroyed, as above mentioned, by hail,
just as it was ready to cut. The yield
in 1898 was greater than have ever
known it before having had an unus-
ually wet spring, the blue grass grew
as high as the alfalfa From this and
other fields am convinced that we
have wonderful blue grass country in
central Nebraska, even superior to the
far-famed bluegrass region of Ken
lucky.
Do Away With Bloat.
Hereafter, when the alfalfa is old
enough SO it's roots are relying for their
support entirely upon the soil below
that which the bluegrass roots will
penetrate, intend sowing bluegrass
upon all my alfalfa fields, as this will
do away with the danger of bloat that
has heretofore existed in pasturing al
falfa, having observed that the cattle
eat literally of the bluegrass before
eating any of the alfalfa, which pre-
vents them from consuming sufficient
of the latter to injure themselves
Also, when we have wet spring and a
heavy crop of bluegrass, we invariably
get much finer quality of hay than
when we have alfalfa alone.
Hill Lands.

per acre. HOW many farmers In this
western country have land which is
worth on the market $71.15 per acre, to
say nothing of adding that amount in
fertilizer each year? Yet know of an
eastern farmer who expends more than
this amount per acre each year to fer
tilize his land for single crop. AS our
farms are our capital, it would be we'll
to bear in mind that when the plant
food in our soil is exhausted by our
careless methods Of tillage the cultiva-
ton of alfalfa, red clover or some other
legume will be imperative, and that,
too, in careful rotation, or we shall be
compelled to deplete our pockets as do
our eastern brothers in the purchase of
that plant food which now exists in the
soil Of most of our farms in rich abund-
ance. In the words of Professor Voor-
hees, "Alfalfa acts in the hands of the
farmer as an agent for rendering locked
up capital available"
The Orchard.
To give you an idea of what the al
falfa roots are worth to the soil when
decayed and the plant food available I
will tell you of my orchard. I set
about four acres of trees in the spring
of 1897 on part of the twelve acres of
land seeded to alfalfa in 1893 and
broken out in 1896, and at the same
time-the same week-set, a few rods
away, exactly the same kind of trees of
the same size and age. This fall
measured the trunks of the trees and
found that some of those set upon the
alfalfa land were three inches in diam
eter while none of those set ON the other
piece of land were one-half that size.
The soil of each piece was the same
previous to the sowing Of the alfalfa.
Subsoiling.
AS to subsoiling L am not able to state
from my experiments exactly how
much better the soil will retain moist
ure because of the large quantities of
humus which will inevitably be stored
up in the soil, but this do know, that
the roots which are below the eight or
ten inches in which the ordinary crops
find their support have thoroughly
honeycombed the soil to considerable
depth, and not only fill in with humus,
but, as it decays, leave a deep porous
subsoil, or reservoir, for the storage of
all moisture that is precipitated upon
it; and no better definition has ever
been given of alfalfa along this line
than the one which your unusually
capable secretary gave it in his quarter
ly report on this wonderful plant,
where he speaks of it as the "silent
subsoiler." It is, indeed, such sub
soiler as no implement maker will ever

SHAMROCK SNUb NOSE
NOT A new IDEA

The launching of the Shamrock has
local significance because Of a depar-
ture in naval architecture which is
limited at In the 'snub-nosed' phrase,
says a writer In the New Orleans
Times Democrat. There Is gentle
man in New Orleans who has probably
evolved the same system out on paper,
or. at least, part of II, and the refer
ence to the boats bow as a snub-nose
would indicate that at least the same
fundamental had been observed.
His name Is NJ. +. Mithof, and he
lives in France street. He has watched
with increasing concern the changes in
naval architecture, and has worked
out and patented system of hull con-
struction which he believes is destined
to revolutionize the old method of boat
building. Boats built after his plan
could be called snub-nosed, and because
Of other facts connected with the con-
struction of the Shamrock some Of his
friends believe that the principles set
out in his patented formula were OBJ
served In the construction OF the
yacht. The Shamrock is built after a
new fashion. and the chances are that
the yacht in many ways will resemble
the MithOH design.
The system of hull construction pat
ented by the New Orleans inventor is
based upon the principle OF focal dis
placement and replacement Of the wa
ter along parabolic branches. Actually
the bow of the boat would have the
appearance of snub nose. The phi
losophy of the plan is to reduce the
percentage Of resistance and give the
vessel the full benefit Of the propelling
energies. Natural law has been fol-
lowed in the design. The natural ten
dency of waves is to describe para
bola In their rolling from the point Of
disturbance. Fasniliar examples are
found in the case of an ordinary boat.
The Emergencies are more striking
where the vessel is ailoat on a smoothly
surfaced. calm body of water. The
architecture OF the fish-if II may be
called architecture-is an adherence to
the parabolic principle. The movement
Of comets furnishes an example In ma.
ture Of the same principle. These in.
stances might be multiplied indefinite
ly. and the now principle which has
given birth to snub-nosed naval archi.
lecture is based upon these natural ex-
amples. In fact, II is claimed and ac-
cepted by many, that there is not an
instance in nature where forward mo-
ton encounters resistance where the
parabolic branch Is not established"
This is proEa blythe principle which
has been observed in the construction
of the Shamrock.
The result will be to minimize the re
sisting force and to reduce the wave
tonnage. which has always been looked
upon as a considerable factor. The
displacement of the water. and allow.
ing 1t to run along In Its natural way
will result in reduction of the amoun,
of power needed In propelling purposes
and II applied to all kinds of craft it Il
claimed that this saving would amount
to anywhere from 20 to G5 per cent. In
the case of ordinary vessels, where fuel
is used the saving would be- consider
able.
In the case of sailing vessels II would
simply mean an Increase in the rate Of
speed.
