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 democrats be able to bring Mr. Cleve land into disrepute by attacking his coarse ia tbe matter- The message U a strong state paper and abovri that the president is ne t going into tbe “jingo* business. Great is Grover. New York, Dec. 18.—The follow ing letter was revived from Chare/ Mitchell to day by^a prominent sport ing man: Boston, Oec. 18—I have many reports published about my leaving for Jacksonville, Fla.; to train for my coming engagement with Jim Corbett. So that my frienda may know oi my future movements, and not think I am shirking training, I wish it stated that I shall conclude my engagements, which could not be c&ncclle), on Doc 23, and shall leave this dty direct for Jacksonville, which will give me four weeks to furnish trainiug ample, as I have been daily takiag regular exercise and have re duced my weight over fifteen pounds.

No favors will. be requested.

Washington, December 19.—“The American peop’e alter tbe fullest and most thorough debate ever giv* n by any j eop’e of their fiscal policy, have deliberately and. rightly decided that the existing tariff is wrong in princi ple and grievous’y unjust in opera tion.” Such is the oj ening paragraph of the majority report to-day, submitted by the democratic members of' the ways and means committee.

With thousands of others I would delight to aee him our 1 ext chief txccutve Agricultural Department, Atlanta, Doc. 1., 1893'. I11 this, closing month of tho year, there is much that can be dono on the southern farm, and whenever 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 i_ ue, why should the farmfcr hesitate dock these hidden stores? Put the plow in deep and bring the snbedl to tha surface—Where it can be directly acted upon by sun, air and win- terrains, and thus, undergo the neces sary chemical changes. ,■ If you* are in 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?

After careful consideration, with oppor tunity of wide, observation, I. conclude that we- shall arrive at very nearly the true values if these figures be divided by three. It appears to, mo that this is a conservative estimate,' apd, appl ’ It to a suppoeable case as follows, assist in emphasizing the value of the manure produced on many a small farm: Four horses of 1.000 lbs. each, 20 cows of 860 lbs. each, 50 sheep of 100 lbs. each, and 10 pigs of 75'pounds each, would broduoo, according to the above modified computation, fertility worth $248.91 in the seven winter months. the noa crop in Georgia this year will be larger than (or many years, and I regard this as One of tho strongest evidences of our return ing prosperity.

The sit- uut ion should be Such that no water will drain on them. By using bedding and carefully saving all tho manure, it is as tonishing how much can be accumulated in a few months. It is our most perfect, as well as our safest fertilizer, and if our fanners would more generally turn their attention to stopping this, which is both literally and figuratively one of the big gest "leaks” on our farms, it would not be long before they would realize how much has boon wasted in this one item, and themselves become its warmest ad vocates. To show the amount and value of the manure pro' need from different animals I append th. following, which has been carefully prepared by Prof. Robert Cornell Experiment Station. He given this subject the closest study attention, nud while, as be says, the value of the manure depends much ou the character of the food, and also the purpose for which the animal is used, these figures will sc a6 an illustration, and will, S hope, set many a farmer to thfoktog and actlfig v ho has heretofore been in different.

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.

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.
