from two of Honolulu s most affable

opened. M. E. Silva offered to do the

however, got the deadwood on the con-
tract with a bid of $3.50, this to cover
everything, including the casket The
matter was referred to the committee
on sanitation and health in order that
there may be no misunderstanding as
to what Mr.. Williams is prepared to do

Too Many Eggs.

Mr. ]. Z. Allen, the Meeting
Street fancier who will bear off
some of the prizes at the county
fair. told the writer ON Friday last
that he believes in early chickens
but that some persons make the mis-
take of putting too many eggs un-
der hens during winter. He put
eleven eggs under a hen, and re-
Gently took her off with eleven
strong little chicks, while neigh
bor put seventeen under her hen
and not single one Matched. The
eleven eggs were well covered, but
at times some Of the seventeen eggs
were exposed, and in moving them
saboutst the hem doubtless caused all
of the eggs to be exposed to the
cold at some time during the set
ting period. The number of eggs to
be placed under a sitting hen should
be determined by the season OF the
year and the size of the hen.

BARN YARD MANURE.
Valuable Paper by Dr.. Seaman
A. Knapp Published in Far
mers' Union Sun.

Commercial fertilizers have prov
en- themselves of great value and are
destined to play an even greater part
in our farm economy, but it is only
when used as supplements to the
home product that this will be 80.
1t is only when used with green ma
nure and barn yard manure that the
most permanent improvements can
be accomplished. 1t, therefore, be-
hooves the farmers of the South to
give more attention to the conserva-
tion of farm manure. The small
value frequently realized from the
use of barn yard manure arises from
the fact that it was not properly
saved and handled, and the manure
had lost the greater part of its plant
food. If the manure is allowed to
heat, large quantity of nitrogen
is driven off into the atmosphere.
On the other hand, if the manure
is left exposed to the elements, the
water from rains easily and rapidly
teaches out the soluble plant food.
So, in order to get the most valuable
manure, these, sources of loss must
be avoided. There are several ways
of accomplishing this. Probably
the best plan, where. it is practicable,
is to haul the manure direct to the
land and plow it in. Again, espec-
tally with horse manure, ETC., it is
good to allow the manure to remain
in the stable, using plenty of litter.
The animals tramp itdown, thus ex-
cluding dir, and as it is kept dry, it
will keep with practically no loss
The litter used in bedding is not
only of value itself as a fertilizer,
but serves to absorb all liquids and
prevent their loss. If not practica,
bleto pursue either of these meth
DDS, then cheap shed can be. pro
vided and the manure stored in it
until ready for use, There is one
precaution that must be observed
when the shed is used, and especial
| ly if the droppings from the horses
predominant. Under these circum
! stances the manure is apt to heat
This should be avoided by dampenl,'

from the average cow is worth Csc
