During many OF his private converse
tions Mr.. Barrett has outlined what
appears to him to be the foundatio
of an exhibit, but he has always re-
Trained from giving positive opinion
owing to the fact that he is OF opinion
that these are questions which must
in the future be settled by the people
here. who know fully the resources OF
the country and what may be accomp-
lished- For this reason also he has re-
gretted the impossibility of forming
any conclusions when he has not seen
the other Islands. and he has been most
urgent in his appeals to his friends
here TO secure the most perfect har-
mony OF action. so that the exhibit
shall be OF the entire group and not
from oahu alone. Continuing his con-
versation at the Moana Hotel yester-

series of maps of the various Islands,
showing their mountains and valleys,
the watersheds and the arabic areas.
What you want to do is To disabuse the
public mind OF its general opinion that
the Islands are heaps of sand with
palm trees upon them. Few people in
the country know that here are the
general features of scenery. with noun
tains more than 10000 feet high, and
vast valleys cultivated In general
products. They must be educated If
the Islands hope TO have friends who
will be of great benefit when there is
a fight To be made for the Territory
and its products Supplementing the
maps there will be. of course, photo
graphs and other Illustrations of the
features of the islands and the many
beauties. The maps would indicate not
only the value of the Territory from
its own economic Importance. but as
well the strategic and political worth
OF the group from naval and military
points of view, all OF which is not
clearly known to the people of the
country.
Il had the pleasure of visiting Tanta-
lus and looking down upon the pano-
rama OF the city and its surroundings,
and l could not but think if many peo-
pie whom l know could imagine the
beauties of that scene, they would
gladly make the journey here for the
purpose OF enjoying IL. 1t would be a
great thing If IL We're possible TO have
a panoramic view of Honolulu and its
surroundings prepared for the visitors

be such a space given that the Wis
itors might stand on platform above
the view and look down upon pictured

lady, A queen in her own right from

her governmental advisers counseled
their acceptance, the world applauded.
When she finally took for her husband

communication from the Oklahoma
station says: The trees most generally
planted have been elm, soft maple, ca
talpa, black locust and box elder. The
elm grows slowly at first and Is at
tackled by borers, but is the best shade
tree in the list and should be included
in every planting for shade. The SOIL
maple is easily broken by the wind and
suffers from drouth and the attacks OF
borers, but it grows rapidly from the
start and makes pretty tree. The
limbs of the catalpa tree are easily
broken by the winds, but it grows rap
idly, makes fair shade and is valuable
timber for posts. The black locust is
not generally regarded as first-class
shade tree and its tendency to sprout
from the roots makes it somewhat OBJ
jectionable on lawns. But 1t Is the
fastest grower in the list, will stand
more neglect than the others. and the
wood is very durable for posts. The
box elder is moderate grower and Is
not adapted to poor upland soil, though
it does we'll in favored locations. The
ash and sycamore are good trees, but
are not adapted to as wide range OF
soils as the others.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
says: predict fall in the price OF
beef as soon as the grass cattle are
ready for market. There Is nothing
to hinder the butchers in any city
from making an agreement among
themselves to put an agent in one OF
the Western markets for the purpose
of buying cattle, having them shipped
to their city, slaughtered, and sold at
a profit, providing they can get the
same transportation rate given to ev-
eryone else. Whosoever gets lower
rate becomes monopolist, as he Is
at once given great advantage over
all those who are Disseminated
against. do not know whether or not
there is combination on the part Of
the packers to put up the price OF
meats, as I have no means Of know
ing. l do know, however, that owing
to the shortness of last years corn
crop the farmers were not able to feed
cheap corn to their cattle so as to fat
ten them for market. There is plen-
ty of grass cattle in the country. Corn
is high and the farmers have been CIV
ing it to their cattle at double the or
binary price-namely, so to 60 cents a
bushel. They sent South for cotton
seed meal so as to help to tide over.
There is evidently large supply OF
stock-steers, sheep and hogs-but not
enough corn to fatten them. The sup
ply of cattle at Chicago shows that
fat cattle are scarce. In about two
months there should be some relief, as
grass fed cattle will begin to reach
the market within that time. This de-
ponds on the locality, however. Cat
tie have been on grass since April 1.
Those which are in good condition at
that time will be ready for the market
early in June.

A cooperative experiment in steer
feeding is being carried on under the
direction of Professor H. w. Mumford
of the University of Illinois at the
farm of E. D. Funk, Shirley, Illinois
The object of the experiment is to de-
termine whether shock corn or ensi-
lage is the best ration for beef making.
Fifty calves, each eight months old,
were divided into two lots, one of them
getting a ration largely of shock corn
with a minimum amount of whole
oats and clover hay. The other lot
gets exactly the same amount Of oats
and clover hay, but the calves in this
lot get their corn and corn slower in
the form of silage. Equal acreage of
silage and shock corn were set aside
for this work so that at the end Of the
experiment Professor Mumford will be
able to determine whether more
pounds of beef can be made from an
acre of shock corn. Careful records
are also available showing the rela-
tive cost of harvesting and feeding tho
silage and shock corn to be used IL
this experiment. The calves will BE-
turned to grass about the middle OF
May and gains through the summer
season observed. The animals used in
this experiment will be finished on ST.
lage and shock corn next fall and win
ter.

Teaching horticulture.

While at the Kansas Agricultural
College lately the writer had the pleas
ure of talking with Mr.. Baxter, who
has charge of the greenhouses there.
Mr.. Baxter is perhaps the only man in
the country who occupies the double
position of manager of greenhouses
and instructor in Horticulture. At the
college are 400 young ladies, most of
whom are taking the domestic science
course. Several times week classes
go to the greenhouses and are there in
structed in the science of cultivating
and caring for flowers. The future
homes Of these girls will show the ef-
fects of this teaching. Where there
are greenhouses under the charge of
competent foriculturists the latter
might be used as instructors not only
in our colleges, but also in many of our
common schools. Probably all advanced
educational institutions have green
houses connected with them, and this
opens up large field for demonstra-
ton in this art

IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.


Not infrequently young woman
finds it necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home SER
want cannot do it. Hence these direc-
lions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they Will
look like new 1t is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch. then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a BOWL of water and q
clean piece of muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently so to scorch. and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear APP
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top Of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each enc with a blunt
knife, and with the edge Of the iron
follow every line Of stitching to give 1t
distinctness. After the shirt waist Ia
ironed it should be we'll aired by the

HORTICULTURE
Assaxasss assAka
Apparatus Pl,ntln-.

The old methods of planting aspara-
gus would hardly apply at this day
when that delicacy is raised In I'M
mense quantities in large fields. Just
imagine trenching a field Of several
acres extent! 1t used to be thought
that the only way to raise this plant
was to dig trenches three and four feet
deep and fill them with alternate lay
ers OF manure and turf mixed WIN
soil. These trenches were sometimes
not only three feet deep. but each one
was three feet wide. Practically all
the manure buried at such a depth
was wasted. The asparagus is plant
that feeds near the surface. 1t re-
quires a good deal of water. but it does
not draw Its food from the water. 1t
will not feed below the water table
In the soil. Today fields are well pre-
pared and enriched, and the planting
Of the asparagus roots proceeds about
as rapidly as does the planting OF po-
tatoes. The roots are placed at a
depth of foot or less, sometimes not
more than a fourth Of that. 1t Is bet
ter to place the plants at depth OF
six inches or more. This is especially
the case when the plantation covers
large field, as 1t Is necessary to culti-
vate over the plants to keep down the
weeds. Shallow planting may give an
early yield for the first year or two,
but the plants will not be so satisfac-
tory in years to come. Another old
fallacy was that of close planting.
Fifty years ago the plantations OF as
paragus were mostly on small areas
1t was no unusual thing to find the
plants set in rows a foot apart and
six inches apart in the row. This IN
few years gave a perfect network OF
roots in the soil. and the asparagus
stalks were hardly larger than lead
pencils. Now the plants when set on
large areas are generally at least three
feet apart, and sometimes the rows
are four feet apart, with plants three
feet apart in the rows.

From the reports of the weather bu-
reau we compile the following In
formation relative to the present con-
dition of the tobacco crop:
Kentucky-The plants generally are
rather small and thin in beds but ap'
pear to be in good condition other
wise.
Maryland and Delaware-Like all
other crops, tobacco has suffered from
the dry weather. In parts of Anne
Arundel the planters have plowed up
their beds preparatory to reseeding,
as the first seeding failed to come up.
In Prince Georges and Calvert coun-
ties the plants are small and back
ward. In parts Of st. Mary's county
the plants came up badly in late seed
ed beds, but in other parts of the same
county the beds are we'll filled. Gen
orally throughout the tobacco-growing
districts the advance in blowing has
been quite satisfactory. The fly has
not yet appeared this season.
New England-Tobacco beds in good
condition.
New York-Tobacco beds made.
North Carolina-Tobacco beds are
still thin, but the plants have made
good growth. Transplanting began
last week in several eastern counties,
but rain Is needed to enable this work
to be carried on extensively; on &C.
count of the small size Of the plants q
little delay will not be harmful.
Ohio-Tobacco plants are doing fair
ly we'll.
South Carolina-Much tobacco has
been transplanted and good stands Sc
cured. Plants continue plentiful. The
acreage devoted to tobacco will be
larger than ever before.
Tennessee-Tobacco plants are ready
to set. Insects have injured young
plants in some localities.
Virginia-Tobacco plants continue
backward.

Honest Packing.

From Farmers Review: Would ad-
wise all growers of small fruit to put
their fruit up in new cases and
to be honest in their packing;
that is, have fruit run uniform
in quality and give good meas
ure. The trade here discrimin-
ates against the use of secondhand
packages and against short measure.
If an article is number one the best
trade is always in the market to buy.
We would further suggest that If
grower intends to remain in the bust
ness it will be to his advantage to use
some particular brand for his number
one fruit Buyers, after finding that
some particular line of fruit gives sat
isfaction to their trade will in the ma
jority of cases leave standing orders
for same, the price under the circum-
stances being of secondary considera-
ton. An attractive package always
helps to sell the fruit.-M. George,
