SOUTHERN FARMS.

In no section of the country does a
well-prepared seed bed give better re-
| turns than in the southern States. The
best spring preparations of the soil is
practically impossible unless it has been
properly turned and deeply broken dur
/ ing the previous summer or fall. The
necessity for deep blowing in the South
| is probably not realized by those who are
not familiar with the heavy rainfall in
this section, which frequently packs and
runs the particles of soil together so as to
exclude air and sunshine. The absence
of freezing prevents any loosening up Of
the particles besides in many places
there is an almost impervious hardpan
of subsoil, either natural or brought
about from a continuous custom Of shall
low blowing. In other sections this deep
ening and loosening of the soil is done
partly at least by the forces of nature.
but it can be accomplished by the pillow
in the South.
The best implement for deep breaking
of the soil is the disk pillow, which turns,
pulverizes, and mixes at the same time.
When properly adjusted the disk breaks
the land deeply and thoroughly lOOsens
it, mixing this soil and the subsoil to
some extent, but does not turn to the
surface enough of the inert subsoil to
injure the succeeding crop. The next
best method for deep breaking is mold
board blowing, set to turn burrows on
edge, and this is followed by a subsoi
pillow in the same furrow as deeply as
desired.
If the cover crop is to follow the fall
breaking a thorough preparation Of the
seed bed should be made before planting
the seed. If no cover crop is shown the
disk harrow or spring-tOoth harrow
should be run over occasionally to crush
elods and keep surface crust broken for
the admission of air and sunlight The
usual method is to fiat break, and where |
this is done it is best to throw up into
beds before planting. Planting may be
done with small plows, or just as etfec- |
lively and much faster with disk eulti- |
vator set at the proper angle. Should |
there be clods a roller may be used, and /
this is followed with a section harrow.
With nearly all field crops a firm seed
bed is preferable. Only the first few
inches need to be freshened and pulver-
lied at planting time.
Where there has been no fall and win
ter breaking done. as is the rule in some
sections. it is not advisable to break as
deeply in the spring as in the fall. 1t
is found more necessary to get spring
broken land finely pulverized and thor
oughly prepared before planting. 1t is
better to delay planting several days
rather than put the seed in a poorly
prepared bed.

THINKS WELL OF LOCAL OPTION.
No better argument can be advanced
in support of the prohibition of the sale
Of Intoxicating liquors than was pre-
sented in our Court by the lack Of Grim
inal business.
The Grand Jury was sworn in about
II O'Clock Monday and were through by
Il O'Clock Tuesday. Not having a full
session either Monday afternoon or Tues
day morning. Only one jury trial. one
for breaking and entering and that an
old case, which the Attorney General
dropped before the case was finished.
The jury was discharged Wednesday
until Monday when civil business will
be on. The Court had nothing to 90
Tuesday and occupied Wednesday after
noon in hearing arguments in civil
matters.
In years gone by it always required
one week for the disposition of the
criminal business in this county and
sometimes two weeks. There were

NINE OUT OF TEN "SIcK"
HOGS HAVE HOG CHOLERA

The Department of Agriculture is il
receipt Of frequent inquiries concerning
methods for distinguishing hog cholers
! from other swine diseases. The specialist,
IN hog-cholera investigations answer these
/ inquiries as follows:
Although at first thought this matter
OF diagnosis appears TO be of prime i'm.
portaHce, in reality il is not so important
or so difficult as It seems. II is estimated
that at least 90 per cent of all deaths oil
hogs from disease in the United
States are caused by hog cholera. There
:ore, in the case of any fatal outbreak
the chances are Bbout nine to one that
the cause is hog cholera. II is true that
other infections may and do frequently
complicate outbreakes of hog cholera,
but in such cases the germ of hog cholera
IS the primary cause Of the disease; and
II we can take care of the germ Of hog
cholera the pig will usually overcome the
other infections himself.
The symptoms exhibited By hogs sick
of hog cholera are not sufficiently distinct
from those produced BY other maladies.
so that a positive diagnosis can be made
only through a careful consideration of
a number of other factors in connection
with the SYMPTOMS. From a practical
standpoint the important thing is to rec
ognize hog cholera as soon as possible
after its appearance in a herd in order
that anuhog-choleras serum may be applied
before the disease progresses too far.
Good serum may be depended upon to
protect well hogs, and even to cure
large percentage of those in the earliest
stages of the disease, but it will not be
of much avail when used upon hogs that
are already visibly sick.
The following suggestions to farmers
are offered as an aid to the early recogni-
ton of hog cholera in a herd:
l. Keep posted concerning the con-
dition and health of hogs on other farms
in your neighborhOod. Sick hogs on a
neighboring farm are a positive menace
for the germs of hog cholera are easily
carried on the feet of men or animals.
2. Look over your herd regularly in
order that any sick hogs may be promptly
3. II any hogs in the herd are found
10 be of feed or appear in anvwise
sick, separate them Immediately from
the remainder of the herd and keep them
and the main herd under close OBJ
servation daily. II there is a tendency
Abl AAAN AloNaaC ~ aIlEdA III the neru. the
trouble IS probably hog cholera. This
may be confirmed by killing
one of the sick animals and examining
the organs in the manner described in
Farmers Bulletin 379
4 When the first symptoms Of sickness
are observed, an immediate change of /
feed sometimes corrects the trouble. This I
is particularly true of swill-fed hogs.
S. If there is any tendency for the I
disease to spread III the herd, do not
but Immediately treat the herd I
with serum from the State college or I
state live stock sanitary board. Prompt /
Of the serum is essential .

8. Remember that hog cholera kills

II thought of such diseases as "lung
plague, infectious pneumonia" pig
Uphold, etc. for these are generally
merely fancial designations given to hog
holera by uniformed men. ]

Washington, Jan. 5.--Loss of

The construction of just such map

Of Honolulu has been covered and
more than TO maps, each represent
Ing a portion of Honolulu and vicinity,

been surveyed; every inch of distance
has been marked off with tape and
every building. shack and shed has
been included In the final lay-ou 1t

a tape measure.

Honolulu that I experienced the most

found to be irregular, and the houses
set in almost any position, regardless
of alignment. The work has been
pleasant, but am glad to say that l
am almost through. = .<.' -. =
No doubt Che residents of Honolulu
were somewhat surprised at my going
from house to house. measuring here
and there and asking lot of ques-
tins. guess that was taken for a

than once. sIn every place i went l

work necessarily makes me a tres

Frame Buildings q Menace.
The location of the frame building
sections of Honolulu occupied by the
0rientals is such as to make the sec
tons a constant menace to the bust
ness portion of the. city. A fire in one
of these districts, should It be allowed
to gain q headway, and shouId5a wind
be blowing from the mountains, would
zpTON6 ulSdSlTOuos W CcHLIdl IlOHO1ulu'
The frame dwellings would burn like
finder and the wind would cause the
fire to spread across the business dis
trict, and nothing could stop it. If
these sections of the city lay nearer
the sea, conditions would not be as
bad. have found very few congested
districts on the mainland which are
as bad as those in Honolulu. For in
stance, take that district bounded by
River, Hotel, Nuuanu and School
streets, and also the one bounded by
Lliha and King streets and running
to Aala Park. The latter is not quite
as bad, as the others from the fact
that .Aala Park and the Nuuanu stream
would break a fire spreading into
the business district Again, take
the block bounded by River, Beretania,
Nuuanu and Kukui streets; a single
block, with four openings. and con-
tanning nearly $50 tenements, stores
and dwellings, the majority of which
structures are frame. One unfortun-
ate thing which | noticed is the alb
sence of fire hydrants within this
block and others of it's type.
IF conditions were right, no power
on earth could stop fire in this por-
