EAST MAUI ITEMs.-On Tuesday last, the weather
was blowy and dusty at W"ailuku-strong trades.
On Monday, a native was drowned in Maalaea
Bay, by a canoe capsizing. 1t sounds rather oddly
that q Hawaiian Should be drowned in the surf, but
such was the case. Four or five canoes were out
fishing, and on their return, one of them containing
two men, was capsized in the breakers. The acct
dent was seen by the others from the shore, but
nothing was thought of it, until some time having
elapsed and tie two men not appearing, search was
made for them. One was found swimming and
nearly exhausted, but the other named Kilohi had
sunk, after swimming a long unexpectedly seized
with cramp. The body had not been found.
No smallpox case had yet appeared at Wailuku,
and it was earnestly hoped there would be none. No
one bad yet been vaccinated, and for the very good
reason that there is no doctor there. The people
were waiting anxiously for the Government to send
one for East Maui. 1t is now about two months
since DR.. Beraz died, and there is no one yet sent to
take his place. There is a good deal of sickness
around, and now the people are anticipating a case
of smallpox at any moment, with no one to vacei-
nate. There is a good deal of anxiety on the sub
ject, and murmuring at the s~lackness Of the Govern

Workshop. for Boys.

WE have done a good deal of talking
to persuade farmers to provide conven-
lent room for workshop SO that boys
who show signs of mechanical skill may
have opportunity to develop the same.
Our correspondent, j. w. Lang, says of
this, in the Mirror and Farmer, that an
important advantage in repairing nipple
ments of husbandry and making your
own utensils at home, so far rs allowable,
is to learn boys to handle tools and get
ideas that, united with practical knowl
edge, are of great use. Genius is de-
veloped, talent applied and time occupied
that would on rainy days and leisure
hours be, perhaps, devoted to something
useless, or worse perhaps, if not thus use
fully occupied.
Boys love to try their hand at "makihg
things" and many convenicnces as well
as necessities will grow under their in
dustry if provided with tools and en-
Outraged in their use Many skillful
mechanic dates his earliest inspiration to
leisure days in boyhood upon the farm
when he fashioned to use or pleasure some
image of his Imagination with nipple
ments kept to make repairs in the shop or
by the fireside. Farmer.

Cut Food for Sheep.

The editor of the National Lire Stock
journal has been making some experiments
in relation to cut food for sheep, and
says:
Some sheep farmers have discouraged
cutting fodder for sheep, asserting that
the teeth of these animals are equal to a
Burr milestone, and that they will eat and
grind it as well without cutting. But we
know these to be quite random assertions,
ignoring the commonest facts and habits
of sheep. 1t is wellknown that the sheep,
of all our domestic animals, most relish
fine fodder. Sheep take infinite pains to
select the finest parts of the graSses-the
heads, leaves and fine branches of clover,
leaving the main stalk in their racks I'M
touched while cattle and horses will cat
all alike, if of good quality.
We remember that noted farmer in
Central New York made a strong state
ment at the State Fair in 1864, about cut
ting for sheep as a waste of time, and
observed that they did not eat it'as well of
ter as before cutting. This led us to eX-
pertinent to test the correctness of his
early cut and nicely cured timothy hay,
and fed it to sixty thrifty common sized
medium wooded sheep, in clean racks.
After giving them longer than the usual
time to eat it, we found twelve pounds of
fragments left. The next day fifty
pounds of the same hay, cut short, was
fed to them, and after same length of
time for eating, gathered up everything
in the racks, found only two pounds. and
this composed of the longest bits of hay.
We made also a comparative expert
ment with clover hay, corn stalks and
straw, and found the saving as great in
proportion. In the case of corn stalks.
they would eat nearly all of them after
cutting one-eighth of an inch long, the
butts being cut into thin shavings, the
tough hard rind broken into shreds;
while in the uncut state. they would only
eat the leaves, tassels and fine parts, leav-
ing the stalks almost entire. We tried
with cut feed of various length, and
found that the shorter it was cut the
cleaner they would cat it. Invariably the
longest straws were left. Sheep waste
more feed than any other of our dOmes
tic animals, and we found, practically,
that no other animal is benefited so much
by cutting its fodder as the sheep. The
principal saving in cutting is that it is all
eaten, and therefore the animal appears
to eat less. 1t is an excellent plan to
mix hay and straw together after cutting,
or they may mixed before cutting. In
this way sheep will eat nerly all the straw,
and keep in good condition.
BY cutting, food of different qualities
may be mixed together and thus save all.
1t is then in convenient form for mixing
in bran, middlings or meal. Sheep may
be wintered in fine condition on straw cut
and mixed with small portion of bran
or meal. Two quarts of bran, or one
quart of meal to the bushel of straw, we
in good condition. We have cut the fod-
der for all our animals for many years
and know that it pays, but for no animal
does it paw as well as for sheep.
