CHANGE AFFECTING MANY ENTER.
PRIsEs.


There is a general movement on foot
among the plantations and other in.
dustries using large quantities of fuel
for the subst tuition OF crude petroleum
for coal, says a Honolulu correspond
ent OF the Chicago News. Four of the
Maui plantations, those controlled by
Alexander a. Baldwin and Brewer a.
Co.. have practically -mpleted con-
tracts with the united oil producers OF
California for a change from cCal TO
oil. The change will affect every plan
tation which maintains pumping
plants. all the railroads of the islands
the Honolulu Iron Wo Ks and some
smaller enterprises. 1t is estimated 7
that during the Fl st year after tho
change begins to be made. from $50 900
to 500 900 barrels will be used, and
after this at least 10O0 900 barrels an
nually. Oil will not be used in the
sugar mills themselves. as the "ba-
gasse," the ground-up cane, can be
used for fuel for this purpose and af-
fords a sufficient supp y for this pur-
pose. But wherever pumping plants
are in operation for raj ing water for
irrigation, coal is used for fuel and in
these oil will be substituted.

GREAT INDUSTRIES or MaNcHuRIA.

Manchuria has an area of 100000
square miles and il is one OF the most
fertile countries on the globe. There
are no better crops in all Asia. The
Manchus have barely scratched the
surface, and yet the business activity,
the actual traffic and the tangible re-
suits are a continual surprise. Well
informed persons. merchants. miners
officers assert that II is richer in re-
sources than any other part of China.
The main roads leading south and
north are said to be C ng sted with
the crowds of carts, people and beasts
of burden, all heavily laden, moving in
the early winter. During the whole
period OF navigati on the river from
Niuchwang. north, thousands of Chi
nese boats are cont nually plying. The
volume of business done is estimated
at from $4,000 900 to 500, 900 900. and
yet no part OF the land is worked ac-
cording to European methods, and
only the least portion of II is cultivat-
ed. Mi!let, beans, wheat, hemp, indigo,
and opium are the principal products
cultivated.

We really do not believe that the
average North Carolina farmer can
anywhere invest 1925 to better ad-
vantage than by sending that
amount to US for a copy of Prof. L.
H. Bailey's principles of Agricul-
ture." This is a work which tells

find greater interest in his work, a
broader view of his profession and
the probability of making many
more dollars as a result of his study.

A New York dairyman makes the
suggestion that farmers who are
supplying city markets should name
their places, and so establish a sort
of trademark for their products.

would stick in the memory of Gus
toners, and if the name were stamped
on superior articles only, it would
not be long before the Lookout Farm
butter, cheese and eggs would com
mand the best prices. The dairy
man adds that those who are looking
for country places will give more for
those that have an established name
and reputation. In short, it would
pay the farmer to advertise Judi
ciously, as it pays any other business
man.-Selected.

RECENT AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS.

The Statistician of the Depart
ment of Agriculture has recently
issued a graphic statement of agri-
cultural progress in this country
from the earliest times. This state
ment thoroughly refutes a widely
prevalent opinion that farmers are,
more than others, unprOgressive, or,
to use a smoother phrase, more con-
sentative. Farmers generally, be-
yOnd middle life, who now prac
tice the best methods and avail them
selves of the best modern improve
ments, once knewno better way than
to strike a furrow with a bull-tongue
pillow, carefully step-drop corn, five
grains to the step
One for the blackbird, one for the
crow,
One for the cut-worm and two for to
grow;
covering with a hoe, or two burrows
of the anne pillow, and breaking the
middles with a turning plow; thin
ming to a stand, hoeing twice and
blowing twice, the last blowing be-
ing done with a turning pillow to
cover grass and make the corn stand
up. This process required a man,
mule and pillow to open the burrows,
one hand to drop the corn, a boy at
the ends of the rows nearest the
house to keep the chickens away
and n at the further end to shoe
the blackbirds until another mar
with a plow could cover the seed out
of sight, and variously from half ar
inch to six inches deep, depending
on how the clods fell. In this way
four to six ere could be planted in
a day, by the labor of four persons
and two mules. The same farmer
can now plant twice as many acres
with one man and a pair OF mules
He now bitches his team to his com
bined corn and cotton planter, oil

A SUCCESSION OF PEACHES.


correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
In order to make the most Of
peaches it is necessary to have early
and late varieties, or a continuous
succession of fruit from the begin
ming to the end of the peach season.
The early and late varieties gener-
ally bring the highest prices, but
they are not always as profitable be-
cause the trees are small producers
and the crop is apt to be small. If
we would have a very early bearing
variety of large yellow peaches,
which usually promised a good crop,
there would be more money in an
orchard planted with such trees than
in another planted only with the
fruit which ripened when others
were marketing most of their prod
ucts. The trouble is that the dan
gers from a glut in the middle of a
a always makes the profits IN
certain. One may bring his crop
through all right and have an excel
lent collection of fine fruit, but a
glut in the market might easily make
the fruit Improbable. By a contin-
uous succession of good bearers this
would largely be avoided. We rarely
have a peach season which opens
and closes with a glut. Most of the
fruit ripens in the middle of the sea-
son, and it is then that low prices
prevail.
The hope of every horticulturist
is to have fine fruit for market when
few others have anything of a like
nature to sell. When this is &C
complished there is money in the
business. Every one oan raise fine
peaches in the middle of a good sea-
son, but few will have the time and
patience and knowledge to grow
good ones out of season. The late
peaches command top prices and fire.
quently bring in better returns than
the very early ones. They are apt
to be larger, finer and more mature
than the half ripened early one sar d
the trees are harder and thriftier,
producing more to the acre Not
only this, the Southern fruit growers
cannot crowd the markets with their
early products. There are good
peach trees that ripen their fruit as
late as October, and they produce
rich, juicy yellow freestones which
sell we'll at any place. Most of the
late varieties are yellow peaches,
and these offer a tempting appear
ance to the lover of the fruit. The
season of peaches to be profitable
should extend from June until Oc
tober, and with a little planning
such a succession can be had. One
does not then put all his eggs in one
basket and he is pretty sure to reaI
some profits from his years work
Experience will then teach him tt
lay the most emphasis upon the early
medium or late varieties.

1 want to get after Prof. Massey
about Johnson grass. 1 sowed it on
my farm in 1884. Have cut it three
times a year and made at the rate
of two tons of hay per acre each
time. It is better hay than millet.
He says he does not know how to
get rid of it. Here in Knox county,
Tenn, l plow my soil with three
horses in the fall, and the frost kills
it out. l have done this two differ
ent years and have killed it each
time. But why kill it? What we
need in the South is something that
the one mule pillow that Prof. Massey
spoke of some time ago cannot kill.

that it takes three crops of them to
equal one q red clover.-W. W.

THE DRESSY MEN
Who Want
Correct Shirts

This store is becoming mems store as
well as a womens store. And why, indeed
shouldn't men consult their pocket books when
they buy, as well as women? This week we're
going to give every man a chance to save
many dollars on his shirt bill for year to
come This wise:
We have placed our counters and in
our makai window, our entire shirt stock and
they're going, gentlemen going
Every Shirt at IS cents
without reserve or hold over
Now these shirts are not old plugs or
relicts of the product of 49, They are up.to-
date shirts; just such shirts as regular fur
nishers charge $3.50 and $500 for. We're
selling them in lump, we can afford to
take less than he.
THE LARGE SIZES predominant,
hence stout gentlemen, who sometimes find it
hard to get suitable patterns in l6 or II, will
have great fun among this stock.
In conclusion-It you can't come in your
self, let your wife come and pick out few for
you Shirts are not like cigars and this is too
good an opportunity to be missed.

IS THIS THE MAN?
Hotel Keeper Thinks He Knows Miss
ing Husband.

In Saturdays Star was an item to the
effect that a Mrs. Chalmers, of Los An
geles, would like very much to hear
something of her husband, who was
supposed to be in Honolulu. He had
come here, it was said, to recuperate
from the effects of overwOrk, but his
wife had not heard from him since his
departure from California. This morn
ing the proprietor of the New Era
lodging house on Fort street made this
statement, which is given to the In
uuirers about Mr.. Chalmers for what it
may be worth to them:
Along about December 18th last a
couple, apparently a man and wife,
came to the New Era House and had
themselves registered as Mr.. and Mrs.
ChrichtOn Chalmers, Los Angeles, Cal,
the entry was by the lady herself who
paid for two weeks lodging; this would
have carried them to December 9th.
But before their time was fully up, or
about December oath they left all of a
sudden, purporting to be going on bust
ness to the island of Kauai, the mans
business being that of a glassware
drummer. Prior to their leaving it
seems that some one probably the lady
herself, had carefully erased the name
Chalmers" and so the record now
stands Mr.. and Mrs. ChrchtOn." Your
item that Mrs. Chalmers of Los -Ange-
les is now inquiring after her husband
and the fact of an eraSure upon the
New Era Register, leads to the belief
that there may be some relation be-
tween the inquiry and the Circum-
stances Just related. This information
is merely to assist your efforts on be-
half of an inquiring wife in California

Hearing of Evidence In h BOoz
HaEing Inquiry Is Almost
Completed.

West Point, N. Y, Dec. 29.-The TAX
ing of testimony by the military court
of inquiry in regard to the death of
former Cadet Oscar L. Booz will be fin
ished at the West Point military acad-
envy this afternoon. Fridays investi-
cation brought out testimony to the
effect that cadets had been hazed to
a degree of exhaustion. The victims
mentioned particularly were Cadets
Macarthur and Haskell. Macarthur
himself denied that he had convul-
sionS, but acknowledged that he had
been exercised to such an extent that
he had cramps in his muscles, and
that he lost control of them. Haskell
is not in the corps now, so that his
testimony was not available. Cadet
U. S. Grant told of the ordeals through
which he was put as fourth class man.
He said he felt no i'll effects from the
treatment aiterward. Several of the
present fourth class men told of what
forms Of hazing existed during last
summers encampment. While there
were a few cases Of men being made
to stand on their neads, there was
very little exercising done, which
would show that the majority of the
cadets are living up to the class agree
ment made last year to abolish severe
hazing methods.
