TEAM STARTED

The Honolulu High School has start
ed on a new line of athletics which
may become very popular. A tug-of-
war team is to be organized and in
the near future a challenge to the
Kamehameha Schools and TO Oahu
College may be expected. The men
for the lineup have not yet been pick
ed by the powers that be, but the fol-
lowing should prove good material for
such a team: Sam Wight, "Koteh

RHEUMATISM.

So little confidence has the average
man in the various cures for rheuma-
tism that he often suffers for years
without making any effort to find re-
lief. He then finds that 1t has become
chronic. This is a mistake, as the pain
can always be relieved. and IN most
cases a cure effected by applying
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. The relief
from pain which 1t affords is alone
worth many tires its cost. 1t makes

DICK SULLIVAN
GETS MATCH

The next boxing contest that will be
held in Marysville will be between Kyle
whitney and Dick Sullivan, who have
signed articles to fight there on the
25th of this month. The weight will be
$50 pounds at z o'clock, and each has
posted $3.50 for weight and appearance.
This will give Sullivan a big advan-
tage from a weight standpoint, as the
colored Druiser can train as low as
140, although he viii be around 145
when he enters the ring. Sullivan is
by far the best man he has been pitted
against, and as the Honolulu champion
is a pretty shifty boxer. he may be
able to outpoint Whitney.

SAHARA GROWING DRYER.
French Observer Says the Gases Are

c. F. Gautier French explorer, is
authority for the statement that the
Sahara is continuously becoming drier
to such an extent that the GASES are
perceptibly drying up and will disap,
pear altogether in a relatively short
time He quotes historic records and
physical signs to show that springs
were at one time more plentiful than
now, and that the extent of the
patches where vegetation flourishes
were much greater even so to 100
years ago.
As the climate Of the region has un.

disappearance of the water must be
due to purely mechanical causes He

Cow Peas.

Don't think Of not planting full
crop of cowpeas because you think
the seed too high.
Where seed is scarce plant In the
drill and cultivate them with the pillow
or disk harrow. One peck of good
seed may be made to completely
cover the ground with vines if the
whey sort is planted
Harvest the crop of seed and vines
when pods begin to turn yellow by
cutting the vines off at the roots,
rake up In good size stacks; when well
cured stack or house all together.
Thrash out peas and vines with a
thresher or stick. This threshing OF
the vines improves the mechanical
condition OF the hay and solves the
problem as to the cheapest method of
gathering cowpeas
You can well afford to pay even :
per bushel for cowpeas rather than
do without the crop.

Care Of the Asparagus Bed After Cut.
tina,


Cutting of the asparagus shoots
should not be done after the middle
of June in the northern states and
should cease a little earlier in states
Of more southern latitude.
At this time the whole bed rows
and all, should be thoroughly cult
waited fully three inches deep. Pre-
yious to this the application of barn
yard manure is advocated by some
growers, but some of our most noted
experiment stations and most extern
sive growers of the product near New
York city and Philadelphia strongly
recommend the application OF COM
plete commercial fertilizers instead
with summer applications of nitrate
of soda. 100 lbs. per acre of this lat
ter is sufficient and should be applied
twice during the growing months.
1t is claimed that manure contains
the seeds of noXious weeds which ma
ture and scatter before the aspara-
gus tops are matured sufficiently for
moving
As the asparagus crop is gathered
from the early shoots and these are
removed continuously for about two
months, therefore the roots are very
much reduced in vitality when the cut
ting season is over, and unless plant
foods, which are directly available are
supplied, there will be a poor growth
Of top If the tops grow rapidly and
strong, they aid in storing up food
in their roots
A fertilizer we'll adapted to the
needs of asparagus contains
Nitrogen .............. 40
Available Phosphoric acid So
Actual Potash 1919
One-half ton Of this to the acre is
not too much, either applied broad
cast or along the rows, before the curl,
tivating is done.
Both nitrogen and potash in con-
siderable amounts are necessary, or
the shoots will lack both fine flavor
and crispness e. A. SEASON.

Owing to the cold April weather
there will need to be right much corn
replanted this spring. 1t may be that
it will pay better to plow up some
fields, where the stand is very badly
broken and plant over. Where the
stand Is sufficient to justify letting
the corn stand, the replanting should
be done as quickly as possible I'm
less this is done early the corn first
planted will over-shadow the replanted
SO that It will produce very light
crop When the stand is defective,
and that which failed to grow is re.

Soaked Corn for Pins.

One of our subscribers asks If 1t is
beneficial and profitable to soak old
corn before feeding it to his pigs.
There are some of the very best
feeders who practice soaking their
corn, when it is dry and hard, twelve
to twenty-four hours before feeding.
and believe that it is not only a salts.
factory way of feeding but that it
pays, says the American Swineherd.
They believe that the corn Is easier
digested when soaked than when dry
and hard
There are other very good feeders
who do not follow this system of feed
ing, but feed the corn dry, asserting
that it is not gulped down by the pigs
like a slop made of ground feed nor
like soaked corn; but requires more
mastcation. and, therefore, more of
the saliva ia intermingled with it.,
which is a necessary process to assist
the digestion.
Each class of feeders is equally sue
cessful in its business. While one per
son who feeds soaked corn may Sc
cure better results over another that
practices the same plan of feeding,
but who doesn't have the skill, or, as
the boys say isn't born feeder, com
pared with the other who is more sue
cessful, showing that a great deal of
the advantages lie in the man him
self. He doesn't overfeed and stall
them, and thereby throw them off
their feed He watches them closely.
He gives them charcoal and salt He
gives them a change of feed for the
variety and TO keep them toned up.
There has been a great deal of dis
cussion on feeding soaked corn,
ground feed and dry corn, and the ex-
pertinent stations show that there Is a
to Z per cent gain from feeding corn.
meal over feeding hard corn as prac.
ticed by the same feeder.
A breeder who is anxious to get at
the bottom facts, to possess the truth,
should get as close to this matter as
possible Give it more good thought
observe your own results from your
own feeding, and then adopt that
which proves best for you. with the
assurance that some Of the best feed
ers practice feeding corn as stated by
you. There are more successful ways

The agitation In churning should be
as violent as the form of churn will
admit. The churning is to be stopped
while the butter is In granular form.
In order to have as thorough churning
as possible, the temperature of the
cream should not be over SO degrees.
The buttermilk should be drawn from
the churn and then the butter washed.
The butter must be removed from the
churn and sailed while yet in the
granular form. The amount of salt
should be to the taste of the custo-
mer. For most people one ounce to

PALE, WEAK PEOPLE.
MADE STRONG AND ENERGETIC
BY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
General Breakdown Caused by Defl-
oient Blood Quickly Corrected by
This Tonic Remedy,

A feeling of general weakness, poor
appetite, loss of breath after the slight
est exercise and broken sleep are some
of the symptoms of general debility.
You may think that they have no relation
to each other and that you will worry
along, hoping all the time to feel better
soon. This is a mistake, for every one
of the symptoms is caused by bad blood,
which must be made pure and new
before health will be restored again. A
tonic treatment is necessary and for this
purpose there is no better remedy than
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Mr.. j. G. Hayey, of % Willow St.,
Chelsea, Mass, says: 81 was sick for
number Of years from general debility
and Indigestion. | was never free from
stomach trouble and my nerves were so
shattered that the least excitement I'M
fitted me for any serious work. My
sleep was restless on account of terrible
pains in the small of my back. These
pains would sometimes last for month
or two. My sight grew weak, there seem.
ing to be o blur constantly before my
eyes. | couldn't concentrate my mind
on my work, and the attempt to do SO
completely exhausted me.
II was finally forced to give up a
position l had held for twenty-eight
years. After trying several medicines
without help, read Of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and gave them a trial. They
made me feel so much better and so
much stronger that l started in business
for myself here in Chelsea. l have
never had n return Of my former sick
ness and cheerfully recommend DIR. Will.

SOUTHERN
AGRICULTURE
FEEDING CATTLE IN THE SOUTH.
Southern Farmers Can Not Afford TO
Grow Stock on Purchased Feeds.


Now | want TO go on record as
stating that the farmers of the South
east will never do any great business
in stock growing and feeding while
they depend on the purchasing Of feed
stuffs for the finishing OF their anil
mails. What we want to do is to grow
on our own farms the feed consumed
by our animals, as We can grow feed
at from onethird to one-half what the
same feed would cost us on the mar
ket. to say nothing Of cost of trans
portation So | say If you are grow
ing cotton, by all means feed your
cottonseed meal; but If you are not
in cotton section, don't you pur-
chase very much meal but Instead,
grow corn and feed that What |
mean by corn Is the entire corn plant,
not simply the grain, and we want to
see so per cent of the crop grown into
the silo. There isn't farm in the
South that is producing cotton that
cannot produce corn as well, while
there are thousands of farms on which
corn can be made a valuable crop that
will not produce cotton at all.
Harrow made a strong point in
favor Of cottonseed meal when he
brought out the fact that the manure
resulting from the feeding Of this
product was so rich in nitrogen. But
look herel What business has the
farmer purchasing nitrogen at 10
cents per pound when he can grow all
he needs on his own farm for moth
ing it being simply a valuable by
product from the production Of our
most valuable hays.
The writer has grown feed and fed
Il to cattle and hogs in the great corn
belt, and for the past six years has
been engaged in the same busire5s in
North Carolina, and | tell you can
didly that our crops are grown here
at one-half the cost of production in
the North. Our land has in the six
years increased in value and produc-
llNtuto6 dDOul NV pei NVhI' N4Ai'S NhN
Northern land has increased about 10
per cent. This cattle-feeding business
means a great deal to the Southeast,
To raise cattle prOtitably we must
have grass. The grass roots bind our
soils together preventing washing
and wasting of plant food to tie soil.
They are harvested by the stock with
out cost, except for fencing so If you
don't get within a few cents of the
market value of the grain used in fin
fishing your animals you are still
ahead, as the summer feeding Of the
animals costs very little,
As the writer sees 1t, what we want
to grow in the grain line is product
rich in fat-producing elements, as the
South is the home of the legume and
the securing of proteids is the least
of the farmer feeders troubles.--A L.
| French.
