The settlers out in what may be prop
erly called the semiarid region of the
west are making merry this year for
the reason that an abundant rainfall
has secured them very fine crop. The
bad thing about this is that the dry or
the normal seasons are sure to return,
and when they come there is nothing
hut disappointment and loss for the
men who try to cultivate the soil. 1t
has been that way in the past and will
be again.

1t is getting to be snow time, and
one of the first duties Of good citizen
is to see that his walks are kept free
from snow. II too busy to do it him
self, there are plenty Of bright boys
who will be glad to earn dime or two
in this way. 1t is good idea to look
after the widows sidewalk also.

Two-thirds of the food consumed by
a flock of sheep on farm would be
utterly wasted did the sheep not use
it. Sheep prefer most of our common
weeds to our best grasses and as weed
exterminators are worth all they cost
on any farm. One can easily tell a
sheep farm by the almost entire abb
sence Of weed growth. Then the distri-
button of fertilizer by the sheep counts
much In it's favor, all lands over which
sheep are allowed to run not only be-
ing free from weeds, but enriched as
well.

Very satisfactory gas plants are now
being installed in many Of the small
towns of the country, the gas being
produced from a. byproduct Of the oil
refineries known as gas oil. The cost
of such plants is not heavy, while the
gas SO produced furnishes an illumi.
nant of the best quality.

This year the Kherzon oats, imported
from Russia to Nebraska few years
ago, have given an increased yield Of
fifteen bushels per acre over other
varieties where they have been planted
In the west.

There is lots of farming done with
out any definite plan or purpose as a
guide. Men sow or plant this crop or
that crop governed by some temporary
condition or within, and the result is
that by so doing they are utterly pre-
vented from carrying out any desirable
system Of rotation Of crops.

The lard hog is the natural product
of the corn growing section of the
country. 1t is not easy to produce any
other kind Of hog, even the SO called
bacon breeds, no matter whether they
are brought from Canada or from the
south, inevitably assuming the lard
hog type In a few generations when
brought into the corn belt. The bacon
hog is the product Of less fattening
food-the mast Of the timber lands of
the south and the barley and peas
which constitute the pork making ma
terial of Canada.

There are many old and abandoned
farms in Maine upon which are rem
nants Of once fine orchards. With the
abandonment Of the farms has come
about quite reforesting Of much OF
the country and with this an increase
Of wild game. 1t is said that large
number Of bears have been killed this
fall in that section, and they are near
ly always found in these old apple
orchards, bruin being very fond Of
apples.

The rule should be never to grow the
same. crop on the same land for two
years in succession. Simply following
out this crude rule would do much to
conserve the fertility of the soil.

1t is almost impossible to secure
fine quality of celery, white, tender and
nutty in flavor, when it Is bleached In
any other way than with earth. The
use of boards, tile or paper for bleach
ing is mere makeshift. The best
celery literally grows underground, is
not grown above ground and afterward
bleached

We read of man who shot five peli-
cans the other day merely for the sake
Of the notoriety which would accrue to
him therefrom. He represents class
of vandals which are rapidly clearing
the country of every wild bird and ami

but If there are many wild birds and
animals on the farm of whose dam
aging character you have no proof, let
them live In peace and seek rather to
cultivate their confidence and make
them your friends than to make your
self their executioner.

We noticed new thing the other
day. A man had transplanted a white
oak tree about three inches in diameter,
setting it out this fall. We have never
known an oak tree to be transplanted
and live and have often regretted that
ii could not be so moved. The only
way to certainly secure the oak tree
seems to be to plant the acorn where
the tree is to grow, and this is such a
tedious process of securing tree, the
oaks making but slow and feeble
growth during the first fifteen years,
that few care to try the experiment.

We regard all catch crops sown in the
cornfield, such as rape, cowpeas or even
clover, as injurious to the crop Of corn
TO a greater or less extent. 1t may
be urged that such catch crops cannot
hurt the corn more than do weeds,
which is probably true, but then weeds
in the cornfield are ever and always
hurtful to the corn.

Our experience has been that it is
very difficult to make young fruit
tree grow where 1t is planted In an
orchard already partially occupied with
aged fruit trees, these seeming to have
so monopolized the soil that no matter
how well the young tree may be cared
for 1t is simply starved out. or hun
dred such young trees which we have
planted during the past four years
among trees eight years old we do not
believe 9 per cent have made live OF

promise of ever making healthy, Wig

The deposits of Ignite coal in North
Dakota and Montana bid fair to con-
stitute one of the great natural re-
sources of those states. This territory
is far removed from fuel supply.
There seems to be an unlimited guam
tity Of this corn, and, while 1t requires
special treatment, there is not any
doubt but 1t will be made available for
all fuel purposes. The most promising
method Of handling 1t bids fair to be in
the form of briquettes, In which form
1t does not slack and is available for
use In ordinary furnaces.

The common custom all through the
hog raising sections of the country Is to
push the pigs for the market In the
shortest time possible, the aim being
to make the pig weigh from 200 to 225
pounds by the time 1t is eight months
old, and then sell 1t. We have friend
who pursues another plan with profit.
He does not attempt to force his pigs,
but runs them on grass and clover the
first summer and feeds enough during
the winter to only just keep them In
fair flesh and growing. When they are a
year old he fattens them and has pigs
to sell which weigh from $50 to 450
pounds. He claims. and we think right
ly, that pigs so raised have better con-
situations, are healthier and are far
less liable to disease.

1t would be good thing every way
IL farmer would each year make the
effort to raise one acre Of some extra
crop-that is, so care for one acre Of
land that he could produce an extraor-
binary yield Of whatever crop he Sc
lected. This would give him an object
lesson of the relative values OF average
and superexcellent crops. For instance,
it is entirely practicable to produce 12O
bushels Of corn on one acre Of ground
or 800 bushels Of onions or 400 bushels
Of potatoes or, If there is Sufficient
moisture. five tons Of hay. This sort OF
experimental work carried on by the
farmer himself on his farm Is Of very
great value, as when engaged In caring
for such crop he becomes more In
terested in 1t than he does in any other
crop on his farm, and, becoming inter-
ested, he takes special pains to study
and learn all he can about 1t. His
neighbors may laugh at him, but he is
really doing them as much good as he
is himself.

JAS. F. MORGAN,
AUCTIONEER.

The county attorney is inclined to
think that there has been some rather
shrewd jockeying to get rid of his pro-
posed blanket warrant test case and
substitute the McClanahan injunction
case for it, 81 want to try the blanket
warrant test case" said Douthftt, land
I presented the case to w. A. Kinney
weeks ago without getting any re
sponse The first thing that happens is
that Mr. Kinneys partner brings new
proposition into court and Mr.. TRENT
asks me to oppose it and sustain him
in a position I never advised him to
take In his letter to me Mr.. Trent
stated that he was going ahead on 9TH
err advice and yet asked me to appear
for him in court.
"Of course I would not say that there
is any politics in all these peculiar prop
ositions. But it seems strange to see
these Democratic lawyers and the Dem
ocratic treasurer trying to put me in
such a remarkable position. I might
go into court and fight the McClanahan
case, based on a blanket warrant don't
approve, and then if I lost the case,
the cry would be that myself and the
Board of Supervisors had been proved
wrong on the blanket warrant PROPOSE
ton It may be that we are wrong and
/ Mr. Trent right. The case as prepared
according to my original advice awaits
the pleasure of opposing counsel to
bring it to trial"

GETS BACK FROM
KAUAI AND LEAVES FOR HA-
WAII AT NOON.

Secretary Atkinson has returned from
Kauai and left at noon today for Ha-
wall to tour the whole island. The
Korean official, Yum also returned and
departed, the two beingfellow travel
ers on their trips about the islands. Yum
is investigating plantations as an OBJ
server interested in labor, who will
probably have something to say in Ko-
rea when he gets back, regarding the
ACCESSIBILITY of his countrymen coming
to Hawaii.
The secretary stated this morning
that the business of his trip was look
ling into homestead lands on the various
islands. Atkinson is chairman of the
Board of immigration, and he will col
lect facts about the lands which are
available for settlement on all the ISL
ands. At the same time he is able to
assist Yum in gathering information
about the labor conditions. Yum will
make a report on the subject when he
gets back to Korea.

PASSED UP
A GOLD BRICK
COUNTY ATTORNEY DOUTHITT
DID NOT APPEAR FOR TRENT
THIS MORNING.

County Attorney Douthitt says the
McClanahan injunction suit against
Trent was a gold brick, and he inti-
mates that he does not want to be con-
sidered as having just come to town
with an umbrella and a vallse. Il can't
be expected to go into court and de-
fend a case with my own client fol-
lowing the advice of opposing counsel"
he said, Il don't defend Mr.. Trent
against the Mechanism injunction be-
cause I am not satisfied but what the
injunction is all right. I have never
advised Mr.. Trent to do the thing he is
enjoined from doing and am satisfied
to let the injunction be in effect"
No counsel appeared for Trent when
the case was called this morning. Nc
Clanahan was there, accompanied by
Attorney S. H. Derby and Trent APP
peared in person. He asked for a con-
tinuance, to get counsel, and The case
went over to Wednesday. V

SAM JOHNSON
STAYS With
THE CAME
HEAD OF THE ROAD AND GAR
BAGE DEPARTMENT COMES
BACK WITH A Def TO HIS
TRADUCERS.

Captain Sam Johnson, superintendent
Of the road and garbage department
of the County of Oahu, returned this
morning on the Alameda. Naturally
enough he was interested in the ac-
counts which had been passed around
and printed regarding his signing of
pay rolls but he seemed in no way
disturbed.
There is nothing for me to say" he
remarked. There are no charges a.
| gainst me and 1 am at loss to imagine
how there could me any. Possibly mis-
takes have been made but 1 am quite
ready to stand by any mistakes which
have my signature attached to them"
There is really nothing to explain
about the pay rolls" continued the cap
tain "here's an extract from Clarence
Whites report to the governor which
should be satisfactory:
1.-The time credited to Pimento as
well as to others on the July pay roll
consists of the actual days worked
plus included Sundays and the holt
day of the Fourth. That more Sun
days are allowed on the pay roll than
aRe justified by the days worked is in
deed unfortunate The time-keeper
informs me that he is responsible for
the proportioning. In the Territorial
service, the man worked for the most
part the entire month. This time list
with its reduced number of days was
novelty to the clerk and in his in
experience he applied the additional
Sundays, as had been his custom, in
dependent of the ratio which should
have been observed. His error was
purely a clerical one. 1t was an error
but not an intentional one There
was no sinister purpose behind the in
terpolation of the superfuous Sundays.
A mistake was made but the benefi-
Charles are the laborers themselves.
There is absolutely no evidence of de-
sign to benefit anybody whatever. Even
had the timekeeper possessed unques-
| tionable skill it is doubtful whether he
could have accurately apportioned the
Sundays due on this pay roll as a
study of the tables submitted will show.
