WINTER PASTURE.

Winter pasture is queer sounding
title to men who live where winter
runs from November to March, and
still such pastures, even in such lati-
tudes, may be very useful. They are
made by taking the stock from the
blue grass pasture not later than the
middle of June and allowing the grass
to grow untouched until winter. Given
winter with but little snow and such
pasture will be much relished by all
young stock and horses particularly,
and then such treatment of the pasture
greatly strengthens the root system Of
the grass and insures better growth
the following year. The plan is well
worth trying wherever part of the
pasture can be spared for this purpose.

CRAZY MEN AND POTATOES.

At a western insane hospital $50
acres were planted to potatoes last
year. The potato crop was almost
total failure in the same locality be-
cause Of the drought and excessive
heat. This asylum crop averaged $50
bushels per acre. Why? Well, $50 of
the inmates were given hoes and kept
at work In that potato field all through
the dry spell; they were told that they
would have no potatoes to eat this
winter unless they hoed the crop well.
and never before did field receive
such a thorough cultivation. Now,
please do not draw the inference that
in order to raise potatoes In a dry sea-
son. you have got to have a lot OF crazy
men to hoe them, for the same results
may be obtained by horse cultivation.
The whole secret lies in the constant
stirring Of the ground during che
drought.

A DOLLAR AND A HALF PER HEN

A bright woman at a recent farm in
stitute made the statement that she
kept the large number of $50 Brown
Leghorn fowls on the farm home
stead running at large; that these fowls
averaged her an annual income of
$3.50 each, mostly derived from eggs.
Cross questioned pretty closely, the
lady said that she had never been
bothered with any poultry diseases;
that the hens gave her as good a pro
rata return when the number was $50
as when the number was only 100.
This story tends to upset the generally
accepted theory that $50 hens are about
the limit which can be proftably kept
upon farm homestead. The lady add.
ed that these fowls went everywhere
and that 1t was useless to attempt to
have garden or even small fruit
where they were SO kept.

sports and Pastinses.

Henri Fournier, the worlds great
est chauffeur, has some very valuable
ideas on the subject of auto driving.
Fourier says that in order to become
a trustworthy motorist man must
begin early and practice long. he
must not become afflicted with that
ever prevalent disease, overconfidence,
and should always be cool and eau
tious.
The French speed demon names the
ability to steer as being one of the
important requisites for the success
full chauffeur. He speaks as follows
on the subject: "Any man who has
ridden bicycle should be able to
adapt himself to auto driving without
much trouble. A steady hand is abso-
lutely necessary, and practical expert
ence as steersman is the only means
of obtaining it.
In regard to overconidence will
say this much. The man who affects
to.know everything about automobiles
and automobiling is dangerous per-
son to come in contact with. The
worst smashups have ever seen were
brought about by operators who ina
gined that their regulations would
shield them from all chance Of mis-
hap.
At the recent a. A. U. indoor
championships held in connection
with the Philadelphia Sportsman s
show. two worlds records were bro

For Observance 81 LincoInls Birthday

The American Missionary Associa-
tion has issued an appeal to the oon-
gregationalist churches of the country
to observe Sunday, February 9th. as
a memorial of Abraham Lincoln,
whose birthday is February l2th.
The churches and especially their
Sabbath schools and Endeavor socie-
ties are urged to emphasize Christian
patriotism.
Abraham Lincoln, says this ap-
peal, was born in the mountains of
the South, where schools and churches
have been established by this associa-
tion. The negroes have grown into a
great multitude Of more than eight
millions, among whom this associa-
tion has planted its institutions and
missions. Through its missionaries
the colored people are being trained
in shop. on the farm, in the school and
church and home, for safe citizenship
and Christian responsibility. Presi-
dent Lincoln urged the kind and
Christian treatment of the Indians.
The negro and Indian departments of
missionary work carried ON by this
association are therefore naturally
suggested by his name. =
1t might be well for the Missionary
Boards of other denominations to fol-
low the example set by the Congrega-
tionalists.

to whom the CIVILIZED world owes so
much, our early navigators and dis
coverers, among them that daring
sailor whose name | cannot now re-
call, who discovered America For it
is an historical fact that Christopher
Columbus, the willy Genoese adven-
turer. obtained a chart of the new
world from our dying countryman on
the Island of Madeira, afterwards
claiming to be the first and original
discoverer. There are many stirring
incidents in the pages of our country's
history which quicken the blood in our
veins as we recall them. but can we at
ford to ignore the present and live al
together in the past and pass our lives
in pleasant day-dreams of the glories
and achievements of a past age?.
say no. Most emphatically mol.
To-day we are confronted with the
actual struggle of life in foreign
country, in country, mind you, that
we have adopted as our own, where we
have built our homes and are rearing
our children. And yet, how many are
there among us who have a voice in
the public affairs of this Territory?
"In comparison with the number of
our countrymen in Hawaii, the number
who have the privilege of the fran
chise are insignificant. The reason is
not because we haven't sufficient ma
terial among us to make ourselves re-
spected, politically and otherwise, but
because in the past we have neglected
our opportunities.
| The time has arrived when we must
make our influence felt in the political
affairs of this Territory. We cannot
afford to remain inactive any longer
1--WE must prepare ourselves for the
political strife which will soon be upon
us by obtaining tie privilege which
makes all men equal on election day.
my advice to you who are not nat
uralized American citizens yet is to
take advantage of the opportunity and
assert your rights. Take part in the
political activities of this Territory
and have a voice and the privilege of
choosing the men who shall represent
you in the framing of our laws.
know that many of you will meet with
opposition on the part of your parents
when you announce your intention of
becoming American citizens Some of
the old men are obstinate and good
many are patriotic, and they will en-
deavor to dissuade you from your pur.
pose. Do not hesitate, but make them
understand Their benefits to be derived
from American citizenship.
THE proposition is simply this:
You are Portuguese subjects in for,
eign country. You are sixteen thou
sand miles. more or less, from your
mother country and have no intention
of returning there. This country, the
great American commonwealth, offers
you the privileges of citizens, providing
for you to choose between being bumI
for you to Goose between being a bumI
on a log through sentiment, or avail
yourselves of the opportunity of be
coming factors in the political affairs
of this Territory"
