VEGETABLE POISON.
Remedies Suggested by Gerald Nc
Carthy of the North Carolina
Agricultural Department.

Animals and children frequently eat
the stems and bulbs of poisonous
plants, with fatal results. To know
just what to do to relieve vegetable
poisoning is nightly important. For
animals not much can be done. A
draft of warm melted lard poured
down the throat of the animal from
a long-necked bottle will generally re-
lieve the pain and in most cases, when
used soon after the effect of the poi
son becomes visible will save the ami
mails life.
In case of children, a prompt emetic
should be the first thing. Sulphate of
zinc, from 20 to 80 grains in cupful
of warm water, is effective, as is a
teaspoonful of mustard in a cup Of
warm water. After the emetic has
acted, give some sweet oil, cream or
fresh milk. If the pain is severe,
from five to ten drops of laudanum
may be added to the oil, cream or
milk. If the patient becomes drowsy,
give strong coffee or whisky in small,
repeated doses and keep patient walk
ing. Children should be taught to
avoid eating strange plants and stock
should not be turned out too early,
when hunger forces them to eat
plants they instinctively avoid at
other times.

WIDTH or TIRE 70 DRAFT.
Figures taken from Bulletin Of the
Missouri Agricultural Expert
ment Station.

An Ohio correspondent writes an
inquiry regarding some tests as to
the relative draft Of wide and narrow
tired wagons on all kinds of roads and
fields, to which the Ohio Farmer re-
plies that the bulletin referred to was
probably bulletin No. 80, Missouri Ag-
ricultural experiment station, which
gives the results of the extensive tests
by Prof. J. H. Waters. The net load
used was always one ton, but the six
inch-tired wagon was 245 pounds
heavier than the 1-5-inch-tired one,
making the loads 1925 and 1880
pounds, respectively, when the wagons
were not encountered with mud. The
results were as follows, in brief: On
good macadam roads the draft Of the
wide tires was 26 per cent. less than
the narrow. On gravel road wide tire
was 24.1 per cent. less. On dirt roads,
dry and smooth, no dust, wide tire was
26.8 per cent. less. On clay road, deep
spongy mud, drying on top, wide tire
was So to 81 per cent. less than narrow.
On meadow, pasture, stubble, from wet
to dry, wide tire was from II to 12O
per cent less than narrow. Ordinarily
the difference would not be so marked,
as the difference in width OF tires Is
not so great, usually. But there is no
question of the great advantage In
having wide tires. Another feature
that is important, and that has been
enforced by law in some counties, is
to have the width of tread in the rear
and forward axles different. This pre-
vents the wheels from tracking and
saves cutting up the read to great
extent

Mr.. Robinson suggests formal and

The voyager stepping on land has held

tropical flowers of Intoxicating sweet

beautiful gateway, sees at the end of a
green vista tropical leaf and bloom.

Much improvement has been made

Mulch is the salvation of young

The cultivator should be put to work
while the weeds are small-so small
that they don't make much show. And
weeds must be kept down if good crop
results are expected.
The roots of alfalfa frequently grow
to Is feet, enabling it to draw much
of its food from the subsoil. It thus
enriches the land for succeeding crops
and opens it up to the action of air
and water.

In Hawaii, where every property
holder may make for himself a bow
er of beauty, where it is summer all
the year long, public parks have not
been emphasized as in 1.-The States"
But there are wonderful park posi-
bilities, and park development carried
on as suggested would add greatly to
the beauty of Honolulu Out by rugged
old Diamond Head lies Kapiolani park,
where more or less radical changes
are proposed; the establis hment OF
golf links and Fairgrounds; the maxi
ing Of newly purchased beach lots a
water playground for the public; Wis
tas opened through the trees to give
views OF ocean and headland.
Most earnestly does the planner of
the new Honolulu urge that Tantalus,
forest-clad height, become a great
public park preserve, and calls atten-
ton to notable precedents of large
park areas; to Middlesex' Falls and
Blue Hills that Boston has given her
people; to New York city's Bronx
park; to the great park-belt Chicago is
planning; that the state of New York
is reserving the Adirondacks and the
Catskills. Think of these. says Mr..
Robinson to the people of Honolulu,
land ask yourselves how their park
availability is to be compared to that
of Tantalus, with mountain, sea, and
tropical forest, all close to the CITY,"
In the plans provision is made for
verdant resting places and Playground

ones from the strenuous world with
out may halt and take refreshing in
beauty and peace and leisureness.
Here no one shall worry If the road
be long and winding. There is ever
the wonderful sea to look on or back
upon, deep yelled valleys that draw
the eyes with their loneliness and mys-
terry, towering heights and dim noun
tain range. The irregular streets with
flaming hibiscus hedge bordering these
grounds, an avenue of royal palms
leading back to that well-secluded
home, giant monkey-pod trees out
spreading overhead there-it is all so
implanted, SO much a growth, so full
of charm.
Looking forward to increasing tour
list travel, and before this considering
the benefit OF the citizens themselves,
a city beautiful appeals to all inter-
ests. The plans suggested by Mr.. Rob-
inson while not revolutionary, are of
a magnitude; but as rapidly as pos
sible they are to be carried out. The
plans deal with the business section;
the city entrances, at the railroad sta
ton and the water front; the official
center, Union formerly Palace) square;
boulevards and parks, that are now,
and that ought to be, the children's
Fairgrounds; the drives.
AT present the visitor to Honolulu
lands at a commonplace wharf, whose
commonplace is only relieved by the
wharf crowd of merry brown natives,

band. The water entrance, as planned
by Mr.. Robinson, arises in our vision

Yes, 1T is personality that counts,
individuality. And it were sad mis-
take if in the improving of the very
interesting little city of Honolulu any
set pattern were followed, attempt
made to construct an imitation some
thing. Mr.. Charles Milford Robinson
familiar with the cities of many lands
and student of civic aesthetics, pre-
sents plans for new Honolulu that
appeal to one as singularly suitable
and beautiful. Mr.. Robinson addresses
the people OF Honolulu with a, wis
dom and understanding passing rare:
He would be ruthless iconoclast
who would try to pattern one city aft
err another We must preserve the in
dividuality of Honolulu, or its charm
will depart. Gut through broad ave-
nues and boulevards, build hot and
sunny quay, widen your streets and
straighten them, spend enough money
in such measures hopelessly to bank
rupt the city, and when the work is
all done the winsomeness of Homo
lulu will have departed, and it will
always be spoken of as the town that
was spoiled. So my first charge is, be
true 10 yourselves. Do not dream of
what other cities may have done; but,
far isolated from them, develop your
own Individuality, be Hawaiian, be a
more beautiful Honolulu. Then YOU
will have distinction, and only then"
The one to whom the plans were so
fortunately entrusted thus pleads for
a development, not re-making, his
artistic sense quick to appreciate the
charm OF the narrow, winding streets,
the incongruousness of introducing a
"checker~board' scheme; and argues
that Honolulu is not, does not aspire
to be an industrial center, but, rare
and precious, city of delight.

An expert on highways says that it
costs about $1,O0O,000,000 annually to

900, or three ffths, are wasted in the

Put in another way: Good roads
would cost great sum, but for bad
roads the people are actually paying
an even higher price. The sweeping

that the roads are bad. everywhere.

no sooner gone from the one than 1
found myself at the other. AS on the
memorable evening, when / had
crossed the street In drizzling rain
and looked that way with foreboding,
there were two or three guards in the
cardinals livery, lettering before the
gates. But this was not ALL Coming
nearer, found the opposite pavement
under the Louvre thronged with peo-
pie; not moving about their business,
but standing all silent, all looking
across furtively, all with the air Of:
persons who wished to be thought
passing by. Their silence and their
keen looks had in some way an air
of menace. Looking back after
had turned in towards the gates
found them devouring me with their
eyes.
Certainly they had little else to look
at. In the courtyard, where some
mornings when the court was in Paris
I had seen a score of coaches waiting
and thrice as many servants, were now
emptiness and sunshine and stiffness.
The officer, who stood twisting his
mustaches, on guard, looked at ME in
wonder as I passed. The lackeys
lounging in the portico, and all too
much taken up with whispering to
make a pretense of being of service,
grinned at my appearance. But that
which happened when had mounted
the stairs and come to the door of
the ante-chamber, outdid all. The
man on guard there would have opened
the door; but when went to take adj
vantage of the OFFER and enter, a
majordomo, who was standing near,
muttering with two or three of his
kind, fastened forward and stopped me.
Your business, Monsieur, If you
please?" he said inquisitively And I
wondered why the. others looked at
me SO strangely.
ri am M. de Berault," I answered
sharply. II have the entree."
He bowed politely enough. Eyes,

Eminence?"

answered bluntly, ''by which many of
us live, sirrah!-to wait on him.
"But-by appointment, Monsieur"
he persisted.
"No, " said, astonished. "It is the
usual hour. For the matter of that,
however, have business with him.
The man looked at ME for a mo-
ment, in apparent embarrassment.
Then he stood reluctantly aside ard
signed to the door-keeper to open the
door. I passed in, uncovering, with an
assured face, ready to meet all eyes.
Then in moment, on the threshold,
the mystery was explained.
The room was empty.
