All About Hawaii.
The pre-idciit bus nut a special
message to congress covering all nec
essary information touching Hawaiian
affairs. And he comes out on top—
usual. lie stan’s rquarely by
Col. Blount and discusses the situa*-
tion Uke the patriot and statesman
that he is. His me&Bage knocks out
the inen who have been assailing the
administration. "
Two points having special bearing
upon the situation in Hawaii are set
forth. Minister Willis Is instructed
to say to'the queen that thecondiiiocs
relative to the amnesty must be ac
quiesced in hy her or he will d ) noth
ing - '
If the queen should ask. what the
United States will do in way of r stor
ing Jier to .power and maintaining her
upon her throne, the minister is di
reeled to reply'that the President will
not authorize the use of the United
States troops either to restore her or
maintain her npon her throne.
Minister'Willis was told to inform
the queen that use of troops could
only be authorized by act of congress.
Minister Willis is then directed to
tell the provisional government, should
they ask the same question, that ihe
president wil^ do all that ■ he* can,
under executive authority, to it s'ore
the queen.
The me*sage of the President, six
thousand words in length, gives the
history of events in Hawaii in con
formity with the facts as reported by
Mr. Blount, snd commits future deal
ing with the question to the extended
powers and wide discretion of con
gress. He says.
*«By act cf war, committed with
the participation of the diplomatic
representative of the United States,
and without authority of congress,
the government of a feeble but friend
ly people has been overthrown.
“The provisional government has
not a^umed a republican or other
constitutional form, bnt has reraaintd
a more executive councilor oligarchy,
set up without the assent of the peo
pie. It h*s not sought to find a per
manent basis or popular support, and
has given no evidence of intention to
do so. Indeed, the 11 presen tat ives
of that government assert that the
people of Hawaii are unfit tor popular
government and can be best ruled by
arbitrary or despotic power.”
The president says he had h«j ed,
“in view of the fact that both the
queen and the provisional government
had at one time acquiesced in the
reference of the emire case to the
United States gov« ri.meiit, and con
sidering the birth, r fact that the
provisional government, by its own
declared limitations, was on'y
exist until the terms of the union with
the United States have been negotiat
ed aud agreei upon;’that, after giv
ing assurance to the members of that
government that such a iriion could
not be consummated, he might have
been able :o compass a peaceful ad
justment of ibe difficulty.*
Not unmindful of the perplexities
of ti c situation and cf the limitation
of oy power,” says the president,
instructed Minister Willis to advise
the queen and her supporters of my
desiie to ai I in the restoration of the
status existing before the lawless land
ing of the United States forces at
Honolulu on the 16th of January.”
He saya that he desired that such
restoration should be effected on terms
providing for clemency as well
jus ice to all parties concerned. The
conditions suggested wire amnesty to
all this* who had in any way jar*
tieipated in setting up the provisional
government and recognition of aff its
bona fide re's and obligations.
Tlu S3 conditions have cot proved
acceptable to the queer, a tbough she
has been informed that they will be
insisted upon, and that, unless acceded
to the effort* of the president to aid in
the restoration other government will
cease.
The president says that h* has not
yet learned that the queen has yielded
her acquiescence and this has delayed
his efforts to bring ab ut a settlement.
He adds that the unfortunate public
misreprtsituations of the situation
and exaggerated statements of the
sentiments of our people nave obvi
ously hindered tbe prospects of suc
cessful executive mediation. He,
therefore, submits the corres]>oudeDCe
an d instructions to c-»r gras and closes
bysajing:
‘To commending this subject to the
extended powers and wide dhcretion
•*f congress, I desire to add the assur
ance that I shall be much gratified to
o-operate in any legislative plan
Which may be devized for the solution
of the problem before us, which is
comis'.ent with American honor, in*
tegrity and morality.” /
Tbe president, very properly, res
fuses to use the troops of the United
States to maintain either side. That’
right, and the people will endorse it.
The republicans will make no capital
out of Mr. Cleveland's Hawaiian poli
cy, nor will disappointed and soured

I11 this, closing month of tho year,
there is much that can be dono on the

"weather permits the plows, double if
possible, should W kept moving. This,
work is important, more bo- than mo6t
fanners jealizo, and it ia maintained by
the highest scientific authority, and
proven by some practical farmers, emi
nent for their success,. that with deep
plowing and manuring with green crops
it is possible to sustain and improve tho
fortuity cf lands, without using one
pound of commercial fertilizers. Be this
as it may, competent chemists assure us
that there are bound up in the* soil xnin-
eralblemenis sufficient to supply the
crops of thousands of years. This belt

doubt try a small space as an expert-
-inent. In sowing some small grain re
cently, I have had this fact very forcibly
illustrated, and as I pass by the spot
each morning I have a daily object les
son of the effects of dftep stirring of the
soil, and bringing to. the surface- the
organic elements, too far down to be
reached by ordinary methods.
Last year, on the spot mentioned, there
stood a dead oak tree of considerable
size, which, instead of being cut down,
Was dug up by the roots, much red day
being brought to the surf aoe in the pro
cess. The greater part of this was
' brown back into the nde, bpt much re
mained scattered around, causing a spot
so unsightly that I determined, ere
planting it, to haul some woodsearth
and spread over the place. But this was
delayed and when the grain, rye, was
sown it was plowed in just here, the
same as on the othar land. This sowing
Was done in September, and until the
middle of November not one drop of rain
fellonit. The rye come np on the en
tire planting, there was a good "stand,”
bnt owing to the heal ana drouth, and
also to heavy Winds, the plants, except
on this spot, were parched and seemed
scarcely alive. Where the tree had stood
Was a patch of vivid green, and strange
to sat, this was not only where the hole
had boen deeply dug, bnt as far out as
the clay had been throWn. It presented
such a striking contrast to the surround
ing color as to attract my attention, and
tot on foot investigations as to the cause,
with the result os stated. Timely rains
reviled the drooping grain, all is now
greop, but this one spot can still be dis
tinguished from its surroundings by the
markedly stranger and larger growth.
COMPOST.
Another important work which should
be carried On now is the making of and
protecting compost heaps. To prevent
the “fire fang” which so often indicates
that tho manure has lost its principal
and most va’ nable elements, a good plan
is to mix the manures from cow, sheep
and hog pens with the horso manure, a
layer of each carefully packed. They are
less heating, and if plaster, koinit or
even woods earth can be added tho dan-
estnnates or tne vaiue per ton or imy-
nures is given. I am well aware that
wide variations will appear from the
figures, still I am quite certain that the
values stated are so nearly the average
of thoso on tlie American farm, under
ordinary circumstances, that I believe
they will not only not lead the reader
into serious error, but that they will
greatly assist him in his endeavors to
understand more clearly one. phase of
tho great question: How can plants be
fed well and cheaply?

day, produced 891-2 * pounds of manure
per cow per day, including five pounds
of bedding. Tiffs is rather above th*
average amount of manure produced by
Urge cows in milk.' This mah average
was probably due to tho consumption of
a rather, large amount of warm water.
Last year 18 large Jersey and Hol-
stein-Fnesiau grade cows, in ffiUk, pro
duced in hours 1,452.5 pounds of
manure.

Always better to kill, if posable, before
Christinas, both 6n account of the ex-
. its early in th? morning as pos
sible, in order, u there are a considera
ble huqiber of hogs, to get the meat cut
out, spread and slightly salted by nignt.
After cleaning, cut out while the meat
is still warm; lay each piece to itself and
sprinkle ou salt; leave until morning,
when all animal heat will have disap
peared, then rub thoroughly with salt,
and pack in boxes or barrels, joints first,
sides last, using plenty of salt; cover and
leave until ready to be smoked. The
•following is, by all odds? tho best method
in the many I have seen tried for
CURING HAMS.
Trim smoothly, avoiding gashes in
tho flesh; take off the feet at the bottom
joint below tho knee, and also the small
bone that connects them; treat with salt
the some as directed for the other meat.
After packing in the salt allow the hams
to stand for a day or two to draw out
the blood. To each 100 lbs. of ham use
eight or ten pounds of salt, two ounces
of saltpetre, two lbs. of brown sugar,
one ounce of red pepper dissolved, or
several dozen broken pods will answer.
To theso ingredients add four or five
gallons of water, mix thoroughly and
pour over the hams, which must be pre
viously packed in tight casks or barrels,
allowing the brine just to cover the hams
well, and place a weight on top to keep
them undor. Before pouring it on, to be
sure that tho brine is strong enough, see
if it float an egg; If not, add more salt.
Let the hams remain from four to six
weeks in this brine, and then hang by
tho skin at the end of the leg and smoke
gently for several weeks with green
hickory wood until dry and brown. In
March, before the flies start, and choos
ing a windy day for tho work, take the
hams down, and, lest the fly may have
deposited eggs, scald each ham and
place in the wind to dry; then wrap in
paper, and if hay or straw is convenient,
as a more perfect protection, wrap this
alsoaround, tioing into place. Then put
the hams into bags, p ick down, tie u]
and hang in that position until needed
Since trying this recipa I havo never
used any other, and the bacon is fine
enough to tempt an epicure. Tho chines
and shoulders may be treated similarly,
if desired.
I trust the day is not far distant when,
as of old, the festive “hog killing” will
add its pleasure to tho Christmas cheer
of every farmhouse, and tho farmer,
S his family and fi lends, enjoy th<
isome sparerib and backbono,
6-raised bacon will then perform
its rightful part in building up our fallen
fotttmeg. Throughout the state may
Christmas bring peace aud happiness,
and may the 1st or January dawn on a
bright and hopefnl New Year.
