DURING February the President IN
response 10 a resolution sent to Con
gress the correspondence with the
Government Of Hawaii respecting
the ratification of the reciprocity
treaty. Senator Dolph. who intro
duced the resolution, is reported as
saving that he or some other Senator
would introduce aresolution designed
to test the sense of the Senate upon
the Secretary of States interpreta-
ton of that portion of the treaty
which was interpolated by the Sen
ate Mr. Dolph's understanding .
I'VE quote from Washington cores
pondence of the New York SUM was
that this provision, if ratified, would
secure to the United States the
permanent use of Pearl River harbor
as coaling and repair station. The
correspondence consists chiefly of a
letter from Minister Carter to the
Secretary of State, asking an official
Interpretation Of the interpolated pro-
vision, especially as to whether the
United States viii claim under it any
right to Pearl River harbor beyond
that of occupation during the seven
years Of the existence Of the treaty;
and Secretary Bayard's reply to the
effect that the provision in question
was adopted in secret session, so that
he has no other means of arriving at
its intent than the words employed
naturally impart, and that he can
discern therein no subtraction from
. Hawaiian sovereignty over the har-
Dor to which it relates, nor any Ian
guage imparting a longer duration
for the interpolated article 2 than is
provided for in article l Of the sup
Elementary convention Article 2,
which was originated in the Senate,
provides for the grant of an exclusive
right to the United States to enter
and occupy Pearl River as a coaling
station. Standing by itself there is
no time limit to this right If inter
preted by article 1, which extends
the reciprocity treaty. the time of
occupancy is limited to seven years.
Intelligence of the promised resolu-
ton and OF action upon it VIII be
awaited with interest in this country.

the utilization of the millet on the
ranch for horse feed, also to get as
much land as practicable under
sorghum to lessen expenditures IN the
matter of imported feed.
Resides the above referred to sup
plies, large quantities of costly foreign
feed are of every day use, requiring
importations of some thirty-five tons
every month. The imports consist of
oil cake meal, middlings, bran, oats
and hay. The prices of these articles
fluctuate more or less in the markets,
but the usual rates, are: bran $50 to
S27 per ton; middlines S2S to S2S per
ton; oil cake meal S34 to $40 per TOM
oats $40 to 500 per ton; and hay $50 to
S35 per ton.
The sorghum is run through a Ross
cutter driven by an upright 2O-horse
power engine, and is chopped into bits
about four cuts to the inch. This cut
feed is loaded on to low ears and run by
n railroad track to the barn and along
between the rows of feeding cribs, dis
charging freight at each crib.
What with the high grades of cows
and the superior qualities of feed
used, milk of the richest possible
quality is the result. Our reporter
made a practical test of about half
quart of the milk from can selected
mt random in the cooling tank and
found il, in richness and sweetness of
flavor, of the kind just stated.
Milking time comes twice a day, at
: O'Clock morning and evening. The
milk is taken to the milk room, situ-
ated on n considerably higher level
than the barn and distant from it
about forty feet. The cans are stood in
a tank of fresh water, a constant stream
flowing in and out of the tank. The
tank is on the windward side, the wall
adjacent being lattieed to admit of q
continuous current of fresh air. The
temperature of the water is about al
degrees Fahrenheit, the ordinary tenn
perature, as Manager Grace remarked,
of the lowest artesian well in this
country. The sources of this water
supply are the Punahou springs.
The washing of containers, a most
important and essential part of first
class dairy work, is here done in
most thorough manner. Every can is
first scrubbed by hard brush with a
solution of soap, soda and warm
water 1t is then Tinsed in tank of
clear water The cans are then dipped
en- n,aSse in a caldron of boiling water
and thoroughly scalded The fourth
and last manipulation is to turn them
upside down on pegs on rack out
doors, where they geS the benefit OF the
fresh mountain air for twelve hours
before they are again used.
From all the houses on the premises,
sewer pipes are laid for carrying off
water which is utilized for the irriga-
tion of sorghum patch below the
barn and other buildings.
Thus every possible arrangement for
utilizing resources, furnishing Gus
toners with a superior article of milk
and conducting operations with view
to securing perfect cleanliness in the
handling of milk, have been attended
to. In these respects, it would be diff
cult to point out where anything is

The newest use discovered for

curiosities and artistic representa-

wonders, and so forth. TO attract the
eye Of tourists, this country could
make a display to command the at

superior sugar machinery made at

1t would be very important, in view Of
the project on foot for scientific
coffee culture on large scale, to show
the world at Melbourne the excellent
quality Of that article even now pro
duced in this group. There is no
saying what important results might
arise from showing men seeking in
vestment for capital at once the capa-
bilities of our soil and the opportuni-
ties existing for their development.
The Government should take the
matter into consideration before the
approaching regular session of the
Legislature. Although the time
would be rather limited after the
earliest date at which an ap-
preparation could be voted, still, with
energetic business men placed in
charge of arrangements. a satisfac-
tory Hawaiian trophy could be got
