What japanese Say.

Editor Sheba of the Hawaii Shinpo
stated yesterday that the japanese of
Honolulu expected the squadron to Wis
it Honolulu before Hilo, and he felt
sure from information that had been
gained from japanese officers aboard
the Chiyo Maru that the two warships
would be here as cheduled-April l.
Mr. Sheba said it would be a strange
thing to him if squadron, commanded
by an Admiral. on visit such as the
squadron was undertaking, would go
first to a secondary port of a foreign
country. As a matter of courtesy, all
things considered. the squadron, he
thought. would make its first visit at
the capital port, where the exchange
of courtesies between admiral and gov
ernor. and admiral and the local repre-
sentative of the japanese emperor could
be made

MYSTERY ABOUT
TRAINING SHIPS
Official Letter Says Jap Boats
Will Not Arrive Here
Till April 8.

That the Aso and the Soyo, the two
Japanese training ships, will spend a
week at Hilo before coming to Homo
lulu is the general impression along the
waterfront now. Harbormaster Captain
Clark received communication from
Captain w. w. Greene, master of the
Togo Kisen Kaisha liner Chiyo Maru,
yesterday to the effect that the COM
mander of the Nipponese squadron had
wirelessed him that the boats would
arrive here on April s.
Captain Greene said that he was in
wireless communication with the Also
and the Soyo on March 26, last Friday,
and the commander of the squadron re-
quested him to report to the harbormas-
ter at this port. A story was published
in this paper yesterday to the effect
that the japanese boats might 60 to
Hilo before coming here, based on the
fact that the wireless operator on the
Chiyo had received an aerogram saying
Captain Greene's communication must
be given considerable weight
The general impression has been all
the time that these two boats, which
were captured from the Russians in the
recent war, would make their entire
stay in this port. one of them possibly
going to Hilo for short call From
the direct official information which
Captain Greene sent to Harbormaster
Clark, stating that the boats would ar
rive here on April s. it would certainly
appear that Honolulu is going to get
the second chance at entertaining the
training ships. A
When they come here they will be
locked at the Naval slip-the same one
which the two British cruisers had. The
Kukui will be moved to another dock
to make the necessary room for the
two boats.

Helping Our Nsiqhbor..


That which stands out bright and
shining above all the tragedy OF the
Italian earthquake is the worldwide
and instant response to the need or the
suffering survivors. The calamity IT.
self was neither new nor strange, uD'
less, perhaps, in its magnitude. Sicily
and Calabria have been often visited
by disastrous earthquakes, both in an
beginning OF the present century, still
less than ten years old, the great cities
of San Francisco and Valparaiso in
the western hemisphere, have been de-
stroyed by seismic upheavals, to say
nothing of the wiping out of ST. Pierre,
with all its population, by the eruption
of Mont Pelee, in the island of Marti-
nique. At the time Of each OF these
great cataclysms the rest of the world
contributed to the relief Of the suffer
ers, and once again the draft on hui
man sympathy has been honored, says
the Youths Companion. Not only did
Italian warships and the Italian king
and queen start for the scene OF the
earthquake as soon as news OF 1T
reached Rome, but British. French and
Russian squadrons in the Mediter-
ranean headed at full speed for the
help OF the stricken country. This was
government aid. The people, the men
and women, in Europe, Asia, Africa
and both Americas, were equally
prompt in offering their money for the
purchase of food, clothing and shelter,
that the widowed and the orphaned
might not go uncontrolled. The hui
man heart is wondrous kind, and there
is no surer way to make it beat with
helpful sympathy than to disclose to it
the existence of suffering. 1t has an
swered the old question of the lawyer,
And who is my neighbour" by includ-
ing within that intimate and friendly
fellowship all those in need the world
over.

FORAGE PLANTS AS
SOIL IMPROVERS
BY j. E. Northrup, Minnesota.

Millet grown on new land for hay is a
soil improver; it helps to disintegrate
the soil, shades the land and makes
plant food available. Grown on old
land for seed it exhausts the soil, con-
sequently puts little back and from
this standpoint is a soil robber. The
leguminous crops, peas, beans and the
clovers are held in high esteem not
only as forage, on account OF high pro-
TEN content, but also for the nOurish-
ment in shape of nitrogen they furnish
soil, which has been exhausted in the
growing Of grain crops. These valu-
able agents, however, will make the
land sick and return diminishing crops
If grown on the same ground year af-
ter year, and thus prove soil robbers.
All forage crops are, therefore, good
or bad, according as they are used in
the proper rotation. At the Minnesota
state experiment station, where corn
was grown continuously on one plot
for ten years, it gave an average of
20.S bushels per acre for the first five
years and Ill bushels to the acre for
the second five years. While on plot
alongside, where corn was planted but
once in five years in system of ro-
tation, the average yield for the two
years it was planted was 1872 bushels.
The manner in which forage crops
are harvested is also large factor in
considering their value from a profit
and loss standpoint. 1t is becoming
more and more the custom in the
northwest to turn sheep, cattle and
swine into the fields to harvest the
crop. This saves labor, and at the
same time fertilizes the fields. 1t is
plain, therefore, that, in the considera-
ton of forage plants as soil improvers,
allowances must be made for the par
ticular field where the crop is to be
grown.
In many sections of the northwest
field corn is becoming standard crop,
regardless of early or late frosts, be-
cause of the large quantity and SUI
perior quality of forage 1t yields. In
addition to its soil renovating and fer
tility-restoring properties, both as a
SuDSlllulC III idilON anu iOl
the forage it produces, it has been
demonstrated again and again that the
best yields and qualities of small
grains come from fields where corn
was grown the previous year. The
North Dakota experiment station gives
most convincing record on its trial
grounds, where, during a very dry
summer, wheat on corn land made %
bushels per acre, where the crop from
land which had been sown continu-
ously to wheat for II years made less
that three bushels to the acre.
Dry land farming has demonstrated
that a crop of corn grown on semi
arid lands prepares it for a succeeding
crop fully as well as summer fallows,

she boarded the train was 10 show her
ticket to the conductor and he would
see that she got off at the right point;
she was then to go to the depot show
her ticket to an employe and he would
put her on the right train, etc.
The old lady got along admirably
and in due course of time she arrived
in Chicago, went to the depot and
awaited developments. 1t appears
that she did not know that her destin
alton had been reached, and shortly
a RAILROAD man in uniform approached
her and she hailed him and showed
her ticket as per Instructions from the
son.
The ticket was simply the return
portion and accordingly the railroad
man bundled the old lady and her
baggage onto the first train and she
kept right on going until she arrived
in Minot, the point she started from.
The agent happened to notice her sit
ting in the waiting room, and recog-
niZing her as the one who had started

a few days before, secured an inter

above. the old lady believing that she
was still on the way TO Chicago, al
though she commenced to think that
Chicago must be a very long ways
from Minot.
In the meantime the relatives in
Chicago had correspondent with the
son here to know if the mother had
started and the whole affair has
caused considerable of a mixup. After
a few days rest, Mrs. Anderson vows
that she will tackle the trip again now
that she knows it is only half as far
as she travelled before, and it is like
~ that new ticket will be issued to
her without cost.

Investors In gold-mining securities
will be interested to learn that an
American lady computed not long ago
that in the United States alone half a
ton of pure gold, equivalent to $780,
600, is annually put as filling into the
teeth of the living Inasmuch as none
of this precious metal is ever ex-
tracted after death, the shrewd calcu-
lator further reckoned that at the rate
stated a quantity of gold equal to all
that is now in circulation will, in the
course of three centuries be lying in
the ground again. 1t is strange to
think that one digger-the sexton, to-
wits constantly returning to mother

HIT TWICE BY SAME TRAIN.
Man Lands on Track After First Jolt
and Gets Another.

Hopatcong, n. William f. Cour
sen, who is laid up in his home in Sue
casunna, for. few days. is puzzling
his brains to decide whether the other
day was his lucky or his unlucky day
Not every man who is hit twice by the
same train in the space Of a few sec
onds escapes with sprained ankle
and bruised hip, and Coursen's
friends are congratulating him on his
unusual good fortune But the injured
man argues 1t is bad enough to be hit
once by locomotive and that for the
same train to come along and knock
him skyward a second time, before he
has fairly hit the earth after the first
shock, is rubbing it in.
He was walking along the railroad
tracks near Nolan's Point, Lake Hopat-
cong, and when he heard a train APP
preaching he thought 1t was on the
other track. So he kept steadily on
his way between the rails, and was
much surprised when the pilot of an
engine struck him and hurled him 20
feet straight ahead. He landed right
in the middle of the track, and before
he could move the engine was on him
again and tossed him in the air once
more. Luckily the blow was not so
direct as the first, and the mans ca
reer as a human projectile was ended
when he fell on the grass alongside
the track. Friends hurried up, ex-
pecting to find a mangled body, and
were amazed to see the man sit up
and begin tenderly nursing his sore
foot.

which had been employed every alter.
nate year to conserve moisture sur
ficient to produce full crop once in
two years. The enterprising farmer
sows rape or clover in the corn and
pastures the fields with sheep or cattle
until they are in condition for the
block. This saves the expense OF har-
vesting the corn with men and ma
chinery, also the time employed in
feeding the same from cribs.
The clovers are fully equal to corn
as soil improvers, but take second
place as forage. The best results are
obtained In short rotations with small
grains. The introduction Of the cloyers
on the prairie soils of the northwest
has restored fertility and increased
the value of farming lands to sur
prising extent Glover, as We all know.
takes the nitrogen from the great
ocean of air above the fields and draws
the potash and phosphoric acid from
the subsoil, where it lies below the
reach Of other crops. These vast store
houses of fertility are unlocked by the
leaves and roots of the clover plants,
and incidentally converted into avail
able plant food for the surface-feeding
stubble growths of the farms. The
penetrative roots of the clover plant
mellow the earth and open compact
subsoils to such an extent that sur
face moisture will escape as readily as
would be the case through tiles.
Field peas are becoming standard
north. Oats and peas grown as mix
ed crop yield an excellent substitute
for clover hay. These also make
splendid pasture for sheep, swine and
young stock. The millets are extern
sively grown on our western prairies
in rotation with small grains, especial
ly where clover does not succeed.
Sorghum, which is child of the
south, is now largely taking a perma-
nent place as forage crop In the.
north. The plant produces an abund-
ant yield of sweet, nutritious forage,
or pasture, as the case may be, which
in quality is much superior to the
large southern varieties OF IOuuer corn.
The seed is usually sown in drills,
with a space between the rows for cul-
tivation. One bushel Of seed per acre,
is required to make a small, leafy
stalk. which, when properly cured is
relished by all of the Domestic ami
mails, and is consumed with little or no.
waste. When sorghum is pastured by
sheep or swine it may be classed with
the soil improvers.
Dwarf Essex rape has become
standard and almost indispensable for
age crop in various sections of the
northwest. Many tons of seed are.
annually sown with the small grains
which make a splendid afterfeed on
the stubble field.
loot crops are not grown as extern
siveiy as they should be on account of
the cost of harvest and storage. but
they may be grown as forage crop.
Pasture grasses are not usually.
classed with forage crops. but they
are really the most dependable mem
bers of the family.
