No One Need Milk an Improbable AMI
NAL More Than One Season.
1speak from many years experience
in raising COWS when / recommend
that they be bred to come in at two
years old. 1t is barely possible that
the animal may not attain quite as
great weight at maturity as if bred
to come in at three years old, but even
this am inclined to doubt, for / be-
lieve it simply makes them a little
longer in getting their growth; but
even If the size should be reduced a
little what does it matterp Bigness is
not what we want in a COW, but de.
veloping Of the milk and butter quail
ties, and it is wise to begin this early.
A good heifer that comes in at two
years old has more than half paid the
cost Of raising at three. while the ami
NAL kept till then without a calf has
cost double. Another reason for
breeding young is that you may test
the COW early and il you find she has q
bad disposition, or milks hard, or that
her milk is Of poor quality. you may
turn her into beef and get rid of her a
year sooner. Cows are so easily raised,
or cheap to buy, that no one should
milk a bad-dispositioned or unprofita-
BILE COW more than one season.
Heifers that are to be mothers al
two years old should be fed literally
and cared for so that they will be we'll

pounds at that age, and will If fed and

tion. for we wish to develop bone and
muscle rather than fat l always raise
the calves by hand, rather than let
them suck, not only because it il
cheaper, but because the calf fed BY
hand is made gentle by it and will be
less likely to give trouble in breaking

of grain and hay. and in different 10

On the same floor with the Office of the

SAD ACCIDENT.
A NATIVE KILLED AND A PRISONER IN.
JURED AT KAIwIULA.

About half-past three O'Clock
Monday afternoon an accident hap
pened at the stone quarry, Kaiwi-
ula, Kalihi, resulting in the death
of a native named Meheula, and
rather bad injuries to a japanese
prisoner. A gang of men, incIud-
ing a number of prisoners, were at
work at the quarry getting out rock
for road making, when without any
warning large mass of rock caved
in, burying Meheula. A quantity
of the rock struck the Japanese pri-
soner, but he is not seriously injur-
ed. The rock was cleared away
with the intention of extricating
Meheula, but when this was accom-
plished he was found dead. DR..
Rodgers was summoned from town
and he pronounced Meheula dead
when he arrived.
This morning Deputy-Marshal
Hopkins, as coroner, held an in
quest at the Station House before a
native jury, who returned verdict
that Meheula came to his death on the
18th Of March, at the stone quarry,
Kaiwiula, by falling rocks.

SuGAR-GBNE.

9Th sugar cane has been cultivat-
cd for so long period that its ma
tive country is unknown, Bcntham
states that we have no authentic
record of any really wild station for
the common sugar-canc. Further,
according to the Kew (London) Bull
IeCin for SDecemher, the sugar-cane
80 rarely produces mature seeds that
no one appears to have ever seen
them. In botanical works the sub
ject is often mentioned, but appar-
emily only TO restate the fact that
ob2ervers in all countries have never
seen the seeds Of the sugar-cane.
The authorities at Kew have been
working at this subject for several
years. 1t was felt that if sugar
cane producing ripe seeds could be
found, a most interesting and I'M
nortant line Of inquiry would be
upeAed FOR improving the saccharino
qualities of the sugar-cane in the
same way as that so successfully
adopted with regard to the beet.
Hitherto the sugar-cane has been re-
pro luced under cultivation solely
by means of buds and suckers. The
improvement of the cane has there
fore been restricted to chance varia-
tons occurring at wide intervals and
probably escaping altogether the
observation of the planter. Now all
this is likely to be changed. 1t APP
pears that at Barbados seedlings of
sugar-canGs have been successfully
raised by Prof. Harrison, and among
these seedlings are several different
kinds, indicating hybridity of de-
finite sort, such rs would he expect
ed to ARISE from the crossing of di :
terent varieties. - Boston Paper.
