Smaller Farms Better Titled.

Mr.. George Kerr, in arecent letter to
the Toronto Globe about cultural and
commercial aspects of farming, makes
asuggestivepoint favorable to smaller
surfaces better fortified and titled:
''The farm connected with the
House Of Industry, at south Boston
contains only thirty acres, but it is so
thoroughly cultivated that it has
yielded an annual product of $176 per
acre. Why should one acre yield $176
of value when another, equally fertile
by nature, will yield only $40. Why
is agarden richer than a field? Vienna
nure our gardens we'll and our fields
lightly; we dig our gardens twenty inch
es deep, plough our fields five inches;
we cultivate a small patch thoroughly
and scratch over a small space super
ticially.'
Further misunderstanding better hus-
bandry instead of"poverty in land" is
afforded in the next excerpt:
II read OF an old man mot long ago)
who had a. large farm and two daugh-
tiers. When the one got married he
gave her as 81 dowry one-third OF his
farm, yet he discovered that tho re-
manning two-thirds Melted him as
much as the whole; when the other
married he gave her third and found
his profits i'll the succeeding year larger
than they had ever been. A practical
farmer says, am confident that fifty
acres, il cultivated in the very best
style OF modern improvement, will
yield more profit than many OF your
100 acre farms now yield.''
The philosophy OF the matter-"the
disadvantage Of ski,n-cul:: ure'' -obvi-
GUS upon a. little reflection, is illustrate
ed by the case of the corn crop: There
are many farmers whose yearly pro-
duct per acre does not exceed an aver
age OF twenty five bushels. There are
other farmers who obtain generally not
less than sixty bushels per acre, and
often eighty to ninety ~five-some $50
bushels Now observe the difference in
the profits Of eacll--the first 25Obush-
els off ten acres. In doing this he had
to plough, harrow, mark out, find seed,
plant, cultivate, hoe, and cut up ten
acres, besides paying interest on ten
acres, worth from $500 to $1,000.
The Entertainer gets $50 bushels from
four acres at the furthest; and he only
ploughs, plants, cultivates and hoes,
to obtain the same amount, four acres,
which, from their fine filth, and free.
dom from grass and weeds, is much
easier done, even for an equal surface"

Infants Food.

In an Important article on "rhe
Quantity OF Food Required in Infancy"
in Babyhood for July, Prof. j. Lewis
Smith writes: The Importance of
these tests and observations is appar-
emit, inasnluch they enable as to de-
tern1ine approximately how much food
should be given at each feeding to in
fants that are unfortunately deprived
OF the breast-lnilk. The food then
used should, Of course, bear the clos
est possible resemblance to human
milk in consistence and nutritlye prop
critics. Although many substitutes
for human milk have been prepared,
and sold in the shops with extrava-
gaat recommendations, it is the opin-
ion Of the most intelligent and ex.
perienced physicians that animal milk,
and for convenience that of the cow,
should be made the basis of the prep
aration employed. In my opinion the
following is very nearly the proper scale
for the dilution OF cows milk, which
should, of course, always be as fresh
as possible and Of good quality. Under
the age OF two weeks, one part milk,
two parts water; at three weeks, two
parts milk and three parts water; at
four to six weeks half-milk and half
water; at three months, three parts
milk, two parts water; after. four
months, three parts milk and one part
water. This scale OF dilution does not
give as large q proportion Of water as
IS recommended by some authorities
in infant dietetics, but it is sanctioned
by the above observations. ! Is .. ;5s
The quantity Of mil prepared as de
reeted above, which infants require at.
different ages may be formulated, as
follows from the statistic which we
have given. Under the age of three
weeks one to one land -a-haH ounces,
with the water added after it IS meas

took eight years to lower the record
of 1890, and down to 1874 the best
time made was PIT. In that year the
record was reduced below ,2:15 by
Goldsmith Maid, who scored a mills

DESERTED LOVERS

They had left the vessel in the dingy,
only an hour before, to visit one Of
those isles OF the Pacific ocean, near
whichthe ship was then lying "off and
on" sz r..
The name OF the craft was the Swat

cavendish and Of Lucy's brother. She
contained valuable cargo, which the
two owners expected to dispose Of at
Sydney, Australia, at profit ofmany
thousands. IT.

ticipated, afford him the means to COM

already won a promise from the sweet

on the voyage, to become his wife as
soon as the cargo was. sold
Now, at Lucy's exclamation, her
lover, who was in q small valley gath
ering flowers for her, ran to the sum-
nit Of the hill on which she stood.
"Aye, what can it mean?' he cried,
in surprise and dismay.
The ship had nladeall said, and be-
fore q fair wind, was receding from his
gaze at d rapid rate.
He gesticulated--waved hat and
kerchief IN vain. On. went the vessel,
and at last her hull was invisible, and
only hex upper sails could be seen.
Gradually these dipped lower and
lower, until every vestige of the craft
was lost to view in the distance.
The two looked at each other with
blanched fnces.
Here they we're, Left by themselves

HONOLULU FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The board of representative of
the Honolulu Fire Department held
their regular meeting last evening.
The Fire MarshaPs and Secretary's
reports were read and accepted. 1t
was voted to put up monument in
the Nuuanu Valley Cemetery to in
dictate the firemen's burial lot. Mr..
Mcclure was reelected Fire Mar
shall and Mr.. Henry Smith, Secre-
tary, both by reclamation. Both
gentlemen's services for the past
year have been highly appreciated
by the board. Mr.. John Mott was
installed as Chief Engineer for the
ensuing year, and Julius Asch as
Second Assistant Engineer, their
certificates of election being handed
over to them by the Committee on
Election. Congratulations and
speeches followed. The newly
elected First Assistant Engineer, NJ.
ID. Monsarrat, being absent from
the island, his nstalment was post
poned. A committee of three
Messrs. j. ii. Boyd, a. II. Rasemann
and j. Asch-was appointed to find
out who originated the idea of the
Celestial efligy. At the meeting
last evening this efligy, which has
caused so much amusement, was
dissected, to find out any clue to the
perpetrators if possible. All the
clothing was new and the marks of
the maker were found on it, which
may lead TO something. If it is
found to have been done by mem
beers of the department, they will be
expelled upon their guilt being esta-
blished by trial.

DEATHS BY DROWNING.

This morning Deputy Marshal
Dayton received a telephone mes
sage from Waimanalo to the effect
that the dead bodies of Chinaman
and his son, half Chinese and
native boy, had been found in the
river about mile below the planta-
ton. The man, whose name is All
Kui, lived alone with his two boys,
Pika, aged ten years, and Ioane,
who is about five years old. He
obtained his living by raising ducks.
All kui was married to n native wo-
man by the name of Waiauwia, hut
they have not lived together for
several years. She is residing in
town and has gone TO the bad. Last
evening the younger of the two boys
went up to the Waimanalo planta-
ton. and from what could be learn
ed it was evident there was some
trouble with his father and brother.
1t was very difficult matter to get
word out of him. However, this
morning some men went down to the
house and in the river close by,
which is very deep, they saw the
two bodies floating on the surface.
The hoy had no clothing on, while the
father was dressed, and from this it
is supposed that the boy while
bathing was in danger of being
drowned, and the father jumped
into the water to save him, the
result being that both were drowned.
The leading Chinaman over there is
perfectly satisfied that the deaths
were caused by accidental drowning,
so there is no need of an inquest.
Hon. Asa Kaulia, the District Judge
there. was soon at the spot to render
any assistance. The grandmother
of the drowned boy was at the sta
Toulouse this morning, and feels
the little fellows death very much.
