Mr.. Jonathan Austin presented

Mr.. f. a. Schaefer presented the
report of the Committee on Recipro-
city, which. was similarly dealt with.
There was no report from the
Committee on Transportation, owing
Mr.. II. p. Baldwin, the chairman,
being out of the country, but an in
tcresting discussion upon horses,
mules, bullocks, steam locomotion
and fumes took place upon the SUBJ
ject, in which the President, and
Messrs. w. o. Smith, II. Halstead,
W. L. Rowell, L. II. Davies, f. A.
Schaefer, a. Unna, Edward Wolters
and J. L. Richardson took part. 1t
was ordered ON motion that the
chairman of this committee prepare
his report for publication in the
Planters Monthly.
The Secretary read paper on live
stock, prepared by Mr.. w. II.
Bailey. 1t mentioned new condi-
tions of the live stock business in
these Islands as being apparent, the
most prominent development caused
by them being the disposition of
stoclt-growers to raise their own
feed. Very gratifying results had
been the consequence. Planters were
recommended to pay more attention
to this branch than formerly. Good
stations and beef cattle were now
among the domestic productions of
the country. Colts raised 10y hand
make more serviceable animals than
those raised on pasture. Training
rather than breaking ofyoung horses
was advised. Different fodder plants
and trees were suggested, as having
been tested. Advice was given not
to be swindled by any foreign seller
of poor stock--planters could not
afford to buy poor stock. Breed
their own from the best stations that
could be got. Read good stock
journals in their leisure moments.
| Mr.. S. b. Dole said there were
more diseased animals in the country
than people had any idea of. 1t
might be question for the next
annual meeting to refer to the Legis-
lative Committee. There was q bad
state of affairs among animals ir
Honolulu He referred to the
amended quarantine law of last ses.
sion of the Assembly.
Mr.. w. O. Smith said there was
no indication of the law being en-
forced. Animals were being brought
in, but there was no quarantine
station nor quarantining, rs pro.
vided by the law. He spoke of the
) favorable impression DR.. Brodie hat
given him of his competence as ;
veterinary surgeon, and the arriva
of that gentleman might be the be-
ginningaof action under the statute
but it was no use talking of furthe
legislation if the present law wa'
not enforced. He moved that .
committee be appointed to wait upol
the Minister of the Interior, to re
present the views of the Compan,
upon the subject.
! Mr.. Wolters did not think it wa
advisable to run to the Government
with every small matter. Subject
might come up of sufficient import
ance to he officially represented t.
the Government, but it seemed t.
him that the Company had no NOR
to do with the enforcement of thi
law than any other law on tn
statutes.
Messrs. Schaefer, Rowell, Rick
ard, A. II. Smith and others con
tinued the discussion until adjourn
