1t seems to be hard to raise good healthy
chickens on these islands, and especially to pro-
cure good laying hens. And we will give some
directions which have been CLEANED carefully
from many sources in reference to poultry rails
ing. One prevalent pest that is far more general
than is usually supposed, are lice. They fire.
qnenlly appear on little chickens when only a
few weeks old and retard their growth. When
fowls appear scTawny and their feathers are
rough and uneven it is a pretty sure sign that
they have lice, except during the period of she'd
ding. The only way to get rid of these is by
using grease which should be applied under the
wings and about the roots of the great feathers.
Any kind of grease may be used, but the best is
lard oil. Two or three applications at most are
sufficient, and when all the poultry of n yard are
once free from the pest, it seldom appears again
soon. Young and old chickens are frequently
troubled with what is commonly called the
gaps" This disease sometimes becomes cpl
demic and whole collections of fowls die
very suddenly. In it's first stage, however, this
malady is very easily checked by feeding cayenne
pepper mixed in corn meal, but in Its latter
stages there is no effective remedy. In order to
obtain the most eggs from hens it is necessary to
pay some attention to their food, especially in a
warm country like this. where they can almost
subsist, especially in the country, without any
feed. Corn just as ii is shelled off the
ear is the best for egC-pToducing hens, and they
should be kept shut mp III Il coop from the time
they leave the roost i'll the morning until, say,
three o'clock III the afternoon, during which
time they should be Pc rnitted to eat nothing but
corr. Plenty OF water should be supplied and
some lime kept about the coop. Even when the
fowls are perfectly healthy il is advisable to
supply occasionally some corn meal mixed with
cayenne pepper in water, so as to form a thick
dough. 1t Is said to be a preventative to hen
cholera and many SINH ar diseases incident to
poultry, besides it is believed that it promotes
the production OF eggs. About Il table spoonful
of the pepper to a quart of meal is the proper
ton in VIII ch it should be mixed.

\ special effort was made during my absence TO
raise a fund 70 defray the passage Of the Rev. I.
Blackburn and family 10 Australia, which is duly

raised leaves no margin towards the expenses OF

kindness Of railway owners in the United States.
and of the owner of the Zealandia, g considerable
reduction on the usual charges was granted, so that
the expenses OF the Rev. Geo. Wallace and family

" Late advices from Cuba reduce estimates of
the sugar crop to not exceeding 500, 600 tons.
Many estates, particularly in the Sagua district,
are finishing grinding, with a result OF twenty
per cent. TO forty per cent. under last year.
Under these circumstances 1t Is no wonder that
the speculation continuesi IN Cuba. forcing prices
beyond what the United States are willing for
the present 10 pay.'-Erch nge.
The partial failure Of the sugar crop in Cuba.
coupled with tie temper ~ aud probably final
defeat OF the proposed Reciprocity Treaty be-
tween the United States and Mexico, will I'M
doubtedly, have the effect of raising the price of
sugars In the States. Hawaiian planters enjoy
ing especial privileges by virtue Of our Recipro-
city Treaty, have a very promising prospect i'm
medlately before them. Had the Mexican Treaty
been ratified, too, there is no doubt but that
new plantations in that country would have soon
thrown their produce into the market, in such
quantities under the favor Of the special pro-
visions OF the proposed but now defeated treaty.
that our sugar growers would have felt the
effects of competition through a depression in
prices. Now, however, nothing of this sort is
to be unprecedented for some time to come at
least. The price Of sugar promises to increase
rather than diminish, and planters in this coun-
try Will do well TO profit by these favorable cir
cumstances by raising all the cane they can,
and putting any available new lands at their
disposal under cultivation at once.
