Force of habit sometimes leads
one into queer mistakes" remarked a
newspaper reporter. For example the
other day was asked to make an an
nouncement regarding services to be
held in Oahu Jail, and accordingly
wrote it out, telling who would speak,
etc. Then | unconsciously filled the
item out, by adding "all are welcome
and it is hoped that the attendance
will be large"

Italians as Immigrants.

Where they have been tried. those
who deal with them feel encouraged
to believe that Italians are the long
sought solution to the labor problem.
vi course there are Italians and Ita1-
lans, as much difference exists be-
tween those who come from the farm
ing section and those from the cities
Also it is not possible to get them TO
work out as single hands, but where
several families can be settled near
together, then the men might work
out by the day for any one who could
give them employment. The Ameri-
can Farmer says:
Ihe notion SO generally prevalent
that the Italians were an undesirable
class of emigrants is not borne out by
the facts. They are proving to be ex-
ceptionally fine farmers, and especial
ly successful as fruit growers. The
Italians are most frugal people.
They can get more out of the land
and at the same time build it up bet
ter, than any other agriculturist. For
this reason owners of large planta-
tons in the South are eager to have
them. Aside from their skill as farm
ers, they are Industrious, thrifty and
generally temperate. AS truck farm
ers they utilize every inch of ground,
even cultivating the fence corners and
the banks of streams. They even save
every root for fuel, and know how to
manage SO we'll that they rarely have
to buy food of any kind. Their inten-
sive style Of farming is in strong con-
tract to the extravagant system in use
in the average American farming COM
munity
The Austin Corbin plantation at
Sunnyside. Ark. has tried Italian
labor with the greatest success. 1t is
found that an Italian can make
profit of S. where negro would make
one. This plantation has 1900 acres
under lease, which is divided between
ninety negro families and an equal
number of Italians Each family is
leased as much land as it can work,
for which rental of 81 an acre is
charged. An extra tax of SIS is made
for a m111e. and a small sim for tools
The Italians not only make the best
crops, but pick their cotton so much
earlier than the negroes that they hire
out to the latter and make extra
money after harvesting their own
crops One Italian returned to Italy
not long ago taking $4,000 in cash
with him, which was the earnings Of
his family from thirty-acre farm on
this plantation.

Italians in Arkansas are said to be
far superior to negroes as cotton

pointing out to the farmers OF the state
the extravaganza of spending a large
sum for new capitol when the agri-
cultural interests of the state are in
need of the encouragement which only
well-equipped experiment stations can
supply.
The Twentieth Century Farmer adj
vises the people of Nebraska to plant
trees in the sands, as well as in the
rich soil, and immediately to begin
growing houses and barns. That adj
vice should be needed in every section
of this country if we desire to avoid a
lumber famine
The Stockman and Farmer says:
The lamb feeding business has gone
beyond the stage when just anybody
can make money at it." It seems to
us that this is coming to be true OF
farming generally. Agriculture is now
an applied science, and there are re-
wards therein for the persistent and
the intelligent.
The Farming World, Of Toronto,
has this sage advice for Canadian farm
ers, which applies with equal force on
this side of the border: Hold the
ground for yourself and allow not the
thief to steal it from you. Cultivate
no more than can be we'll cultivated
hold your own and wait. Be steadfast
and hold your ground
Hoard's Dairyman, discussing the
manure question, says: If we store
manure in any form we ought to have
wit enough to prevent needless waste"
A truer observation was never made.
for it is positively painful to the intel
ligent observer to see the farmers dol
lars trickling from the barnyard into
the roadside ditch, as may be witness
ed in every neighborhood.
Here is a deserving boost for alfalfa
from the Wisconsin Farmer: ''When
the time comes that every man in the
Central West is able to obtain a good
stand of alfalfa, then surely will the
great corn belt be the garden spot OF
the world" But our Wisconsin con-
temporary should be more inclusive.
The blessings Of alfalfa are bound to
extend to almost every part Of the
Union.
The Farmers Tribune makes this
observation: Think this question Of
soil fertility over, and ask yourself if
you are putting forth your best efforts
to preserve your stable manure in &C
cordance with your own interests"
This is another way of advising farm
ers to put the manure on the land, in
stead OF allowing it to lie and be rob-
bed by the elements of much of its
value.
1t is plain from some observations OF
the Australian Agricultural, published
at Sydney, that the fruit growers on
the other side Of the world have also
awakened to the fact that class with
no claim to them has been getting the
producers profits. The Agriculturist
says: "We should like to see a public
auction market established in Sydney,
to which growers could consign their
fruit, and where the public could buy"

FOR LACK OF FUNDS.

Its Doors.
New York, Dec. 26-The United He
brew societies, the largest Jewish char
table organization in the United
States, which has annually extended
aid to thousands in this city, compris-
ing over $4,000 individuals, has had
to close its doors, for the first time in
Its history, for lack of funds.
No more money will be expended un-
til Jan. 1, when the society will again
start operations and continue it's aid
until the sum allotted for the month
by the directors has been paid out.
Last year approximately 100000
was paid in benefits and pensions by
the society, but this year there is
deficit of nearly $4,000, with an in
creased number of applications for
assistance. The deficit Is caused by
a falling off in the guarantee fund,
which is annually subscribed by GER
tain rich men, and the expiration Of
certain legacies and requests.
