CALL TO VERMONT'S YOUNG MEN.
During the next seven days the young
men of Vermont will be given an oppor-
tunity to serve their country by enlist
ing in the lst Vermont infantry regi-
ment, which is now stationed at Camp
Greene, Charlotte, n. C. Perhaps it
would be better to state that the skele.
ton of the LIST Vermont is located at
Camp Greene, for the most of the men
have been transferred to other units and
are already across the ocean training for
active field work. To take the places of
the men who have gone it is earnestly
desired that a large number of Vermont
men volunteer in the regiment, and a re.
crultlng party is now going through Yer.
mont for the purpose of receiving re-
cruits. We are not prepared to state
that the new regiment to be formed will
retain its identity as Vermont unit of
the federal service, because the action of
the war department in dividing the old
Vermont regiment gives no assurance
whatever; and it might be explained at
this time that the Vermont newspapers
and the recruiting parties acted in good
faith when they advanced the argument
that Vermonters should join the LIST Yer
mont regiment so that they could be to.
gether and enter war service as a dis.
tinct regiment of Vermonters. They
were simply misled, or rather overruled
by the powers that be at Washington.
We suppose that the dividing up of the |
old Vermont regiment was to serve some
good purpose and that, in view of that /
fact. Vermont should make no protest.
so we are not prepared TO say that the
Nermonters who join the new regiment |
will be kept together as Vermont unit;
bpt we do know that the men viii re-
ceive good treatment under the colors of
the United States and that they will re.
ceive added comforts through the min
istrations of several organizations which 4
are doing noble work in behalf of the
soldiers. Moreover, the men who enlist II
in the new Vermont regiment are ex-
plicitly promised that they will receive
state pay Of ten dollars per month in
addition to the pay which they will re-
ceive from the national government. But
q higher motive for their voluntary en-.
listment is that their country needs
them, needs them to uphold the honor
Of the United States and to rid the world
Of real menace. The men of Vermont
should rally to this call

!: DECEMBER CARE OF TREES


The American Forestry association,
Washington, in its bulletin of advice
tells what to do for trees in December:
First.-In December fertilize with
well rOtted manure all weakened or
backward trees and all valuable Speci-
mems on the lawn. Dig the manure
into the soil around the tips of the
roots away from the trunk of the tree.
Do not expose the roots, and be care
full not to mutiliate the large roots.
Second.-BOlt all the trees that are
likely to split. The old fashioned band
placed around the trunk or branch of
the tree is bound to become too tight
for it and eventually girdle it. Boiling
is better and does not injure the tree.
Third.-COmmence cutting down all
trees marked for removal during the
early fall. Segregate the trees infested
with boring insects and disease and
see that the infested wood is burnt be-
fore next May. This applies particu-
larly to such trees as those infested
with the hickory bark beetle in hickO-
ries, the two lined chestnut borer in
oaks, and the bronze bOrer of birches.
Fourth.-This is a good season to
look over your spraying apparatus and
to see that the machinery and hose are
in good order. You will need the spray
ing apparatus in early March on your
apple and pear trees.
Fifth.-Take care of the neglected
wounds on your trees, cutting off any
loose bark and coating the exposed
wood with tar. This will prevent de-
cay and aid in healing the wound.
Sixth.-Repair tree guards on the
street and avenue trees. See that they
are in good order and that they have
not grown too tight for the, trees dur
ing the past growing season.

en-, asserts f. A. Writ, assistant pro-
fessor in charge of the department of
farm machinery in the Kansas State
agricultural college
Frequently the farmer does not care
to go to the expense of erecting sheds
for storing machinery" said Mr.. Writ.
''In fact, he may often spend his mon
ey to better advantage in the purchase
of more stock, better seed and addi-
tional equipment The necessity for
this expenditure may be avoided to a
great extent if the machinery is prop
erly treated before it is put away in
the fall.
when through using the grain bind
er remove the canvases and store
them. Grease the eye of the needle,
but never use oil for this purpose, as
grease stays on longer and is not so
likely to wash off Almost any kind of
axle grease will do This advice APP
plies to the use of grease on the metal
parts of all farm machinery. Exposed
gears and parts of plow bottoms should
be particularly well creased.
Remove the sickle from the mower
and the shoveIs from the cultivators.
The frame of these implements cannot
be removed, but to prevent the rusting
Of these parts they should be painted
with a coat of red lead or any other
good wagon OF implement paint
Before painting farm machinery all
grease should be removed with soap
and water, and if necessary the parts
should be scrdped. Rust can easily be
removed by the use of wire brush
and subsequent rubbing Of the sur
face with piece of brick.
'"The use of poor machinery increases
the cost Of production because of the
fact that it takes longer to do a piece
Of work with poor tool than with an
efficient one. Time is often lost be-
cause of the necessity of making re-
| pairs at an inoppOrtune time. Increas-
ed draft due to machinery that has not
been looked after properly resulted in
waste OF mechanical energy All
this means a less of crops, which is far
more important than the increased de-
probation Of the machine"

This frame is set on the wagon box
sidebOard. One or two men drive along
the edge of the root patch, each pulling
both hands full Of turnips and then
cutting the tops off by drawing them
across the scythe blade. The roots fall
into the wagon and the tops are thrown
into the back end. These are hauled
to the barn and fed to the milk cows.
The frame is moved along the side as
the box is filled.

Here is simple and easy way for
removing the tops from turnips, etc.

think of value, says a correspondent
Of Farm Progress.

QUESTIONS
TO WHITNEY in
MASTER REPORT
Asked to Settle Points Arising
in Statement of Museum
Trustees

The master leaves to the court the
matter OF the Sufficiency Of the secu-
riety for the 1900 Dillingham; &
Company loan: whether the original
investment in Hilo Railroad bonds was
proper or speculs live and whether the
trustees improperly charged a COM
mission on Hawaii Consolidated stock
representing unpaid interest on the old
Hilo Railroad bonds"
These questions are laid before Cir
cult Judge Whitney in the report
of William B. I-ymer as master to
examine the Goth annual accounts OF
the trustees of the b. P. Bishop Mu-
scum trust.
The loan by the trust to the Dilling-
ham Company, the report points out,
is secured by S92 shares of stock Of
the Oahu Railroad and Land Company.
Regarding this loan the master COM
ments:
While the par value Of this stock
is at present $3.50 a share with prac-
tically no sale even at this bidding
figure. it has seemed to the master
a proper matter Of inquiry as to
whether this particular security is en-
tirely satisfactory: In similar cases
the question has arisen and it should
be passed upon and settled by the
court. On the whole the mast
er feels that this loan is sufficiently
secured"
With regard to the investment by
the trust in Hilo Railroad bonds, the
master comments, in Fart:
The only question in connection
with this matter is whether the orig
inal investment in Hilo Railroad bonds
was an exercise of sound business
judgment II it was speculative mere
ly the trustees should be held liable,
but if las is probable) prudent bust
nessmen would have made the same
investment, the trustees are not
chargeable for this loss"
Other than submitting these ques.
tons to the court, the master reports
the business of the trust to be in
generally good condition.

EDDIE WOODWARD SEES
IF CAPITOL IS READY

: For two days past Eddie Woodward,
private secretary to Mayor Lane, has
been haunting the legislative halls in
the Capitol, looking around, as he ex
plains, to see If everything is In shape
for the coming session.
Stories that Eddie was a willing can
didate for clerk of the house have
made his visits to the Capitol the
cause of some interest, but Woodward
explains that he is giving the place
the "once-over" at the behest Of Ger.
tain Legislators, having a knowledge
from past sessions Of what will be
needed in the placing of furniture.
Woodward says he is not candi,
date for the clerkship, but that he
will not refuse it If offered to him.
He conferred with the acting superin.
tendent of public works this morning
and the two Woodwards talked things
over.

SCHOOLS TO ASK
MUCH HELP FROM
THE LEGISLATURE
Need Salary Increase, More
Funds and Further Train
ina for Detectives

| Increased salaries for the public
school teachers Of the territory. In
crease OF $33l.76 in the school bud
get for the next biennial period More
adequate instruction for detectives
throughout the islands.
These are the principal projects
| that the school commission and de-
partment OF public instruction will
seek to carry, out with the assistance
of the next Hawaiian Legislature.
Plans to request legislation covering
these items are practically completed,
says Supt. Henry w Kinney.
Both Kinney and the members OF
the school board have gone on record
as favOring IN increase OF the sala-
ries OF all public. school teachers, the
principal motive being the increased
cost Of living. The minutes OF the
last meeting of the board, when the
school budget was discussed and pass
ed, contain the following entry:
FaVors Larger Salaries
The superintendent recommended
that the department 60 on record as
favoring an increase in teachers sal
aries and that the same be made on
a percentage basis with a provision
that the lower paid teachers be given
a higher rate than those highly paid.
Mr.. Lindsay moved that the depart
ment favor legislation to this effect
and the superintendent be instructed
to present the matter to the legisla-
ture, giving as the departments rea-
son the fact that the increase Of the
cost Of living makes action as men,
toned necessary"
Commissioner D. c. Lindsay's mo-
ton was seconded and adopted.
With regard to provisions for fur
Their instruction OF detectives, the fol-
lowing is entered on the minutes:
instruction For Detectives
1T was voted that the commission
indorse the efforts now being made
toward more adequate instruction for
detectives throughout the entire ter
ritory."
In this connection it is pointed out
that Honolulu now has but one school
for the education Of detectives. This
action by the board, says Kinney,
means that the legislature will be ask
ed for an appropriation for the estab-
lishment Of more schools for the
care and instruction of detectives.
More schools for backward children
also are needed. Kinney adds.
The next legislature will be asked
to increase the school budget for the
next biennial period by about 1891 ,76S.
The appropriation for the present PEI
Rod was $643, 1892 and that asked for
next period is approximately $975, 000
The increase is asked because of
plans to erect many new schools
throughout the territory.
