Hawaii holomua = Progress. [volume] (Honolulu) 1893-1895, 1893-12-23

HOeucI CLASS OF Americans
the missionaries, have controlled
the political affairs of the country
since 1920 They are dissatisfied
because within the last few wears
they have lost their hold upon
the government and its offices.
The first class of Americans are
generally disappointed advent
urers, the second class are
religlonists, who. having once
exercised supreme power in
church and state, feel all the
bitterness of disappointment at
seeing their political power pass
into other hands, and knowing
that the native population is
beginning to listen to religion
preached from other pulpits than
their own.
"The American missionaries
have undoubtedly labored faith
fully, but it is their own fault if,
after forty years experience as
keeper of the conscience to the
natives and their princes, they
permit themselves to be driven
from the field by an adroit
English priest, whose church is
mere political machine, and who
possesses apparently neither the
intelligence nor the virtue of his
more experienced and Puritan
ical brother missionaries.
so far as | can see the influence
of the American government is all
that it has ever been. The inhu-
ence Of American individuals has
been lost through their own want
of tact and harmony"
WARNED AGAINST INFLUENCE.
Mr.. Seward wrote in 1868 to Mr..
Spaulding then representative at
Honolulu, who had written to him
of annexation:-
1t will be well for you not to
allow extravagant expectations of
sympathy between the United
States and the friends of annexa-
ton in the islands to influence your
own conduct"
Mr.. ii. A. Pierce then American
Minister at Honolulu, wrote Secre-
tary Fish IN 1871 concerning an
nexation, thinking there was a
70 Ia ~ -, 20,
measures for annexation of the ISL
ands to the United States, the
same to be effected as the manifest
will and choice of the majority of
the Hawaiian people. and through
means proper, peaceful and honor
sble. 1t is evident however, no
steps will be taken to accomplish
the object named without the pro-
per sanction or appreciation of the
United States government in APP
prevail thereof"
1t is pity Mr.. Stevens did not
take as honorable course as this
predecessor Of his.
Secretary Fish gave a cold
reply to Mr.. Pierce's suggestion.
Promising that the United States
will not be willing to see the ISL
ands in possession of any other
Power, he said
"We are not in possession of
information sufficiently accu-
rate and possibly not sufficiently
extended with respect to the po-
pulation, trade. industry, resour-
ces and debt. etc., of the Hawaii
an Islands to decide the policy
which must soon be considered
with respect to the relations they
are to maintain toward this
government.
There are what was called an
annexation scare" in the islands
in 1878, and Mr.. Evarts wrote to
our Minister there
You will endeavor to disabuse
the minds of those who ilnpute to
the United States any idea of
further projects beyond the pre-
sent treaty
NOTHING TO IMPAIR SOVEREIGNTY.

fish Minister in Washington in

CAUSE OF STEVENS ANXIETY.

Observe that this eminent ma
val officer spoke only of volun-
tary surrender of the Hawaiian
government, not revolutionary
intrigue to be fostered and pro-
tected by United States troops
and guns as Mr.. Stevens did.
Mr.. Stevens extreme anxiety
at Honolulu after he had been
superseded by Mr. Blountand since
his return to the United States to
bring about annexation arises. it
is only fair to suppose. from the
fact that he is the only United
States Minister. at least in recent
years, who has been false to the
trust conided in him and has
misused the authority intrusted
to him by this government to upset
the regular and constitutional gov
eminent to which he was accredit-
ed, aud without authority set up
q protectorate and substitute the
American flag on the government
buildings for that of the nation
and government to which he was
an accredited representative.
For that, Secretary Foster sharp
ly reprimanded him, and he still
feels apparently the sting Of that
reprimand, as also of the discovery
since made. of the diplomatic mis-
conduct by which he put q stain
on the honor and good name of the
United States Which, fortunately
for US, President Cleveland has
determined 70 remove.

and it gradually droops and dies vic
tim TO it's owners heedlessness. We are
aware that many of our readers will say
that this is nonsense, but we state it as
our deliberate conviction after years of.
study OF the subject, and after cutting
open a great many chickens, that want
of grit is the greatest cause OF chicken
mortality next to lice.
Improper food, such as sour or filthy
food, raw corn meal dough, etc., is an
other great evil. Many would-be chicken
raisers throw down great lot of food
and leave it till the chicks have eaten it
up, regardless of the fact that it soon
sours in the sun, and sour food is the
worst thing chicken can eat. Not only
does it supply no nOurishment, but it
taxes the strength already gained to rid
the system Of it, thus compelling the lit.
tie body to draw upon it's reserves, to
take q step backward. 1t is easy to see
that this is poor economy if we want the
chicks to grow.

EDITED BY e. W. AMSDEN
Why Do the Chickens Die?
ORMOND,

proportion OF the chickens Matched do we
raise to maturity or marketable age?
This question: is especially important this
spring, because, for a great variety of
causes, the chicken, mortality is great
and the consequent pecuniary loss heavy.
We heard of one farmer who had lost
over thousand out OF some twelve hun
dred Matched, and OF course there must
be in such case local cause for such
frightful mortality. In this case it was,
no doubt, improper feeding, inducing
bowel disease Or dysentery land that farm
er has taken a costly object-lesson in
feeding chickens. We will return to this
case later, but before doing so wish to
consider the common mortality among
the little chicks. There is very frequently
Zone breeder says there always is) one
weakling or "runt" in every brood, and
that weakling chick is very certain to
drop off at the first opportunity. So
certain is this that good authorities re-
commend killing it at once to be rid of it,
do what would probably be mercy.
There are many causes for the runtg.
The eggs from which they are Matched
may have got chilled through being
pushed out to one side Of the nest, and
the embryo checked (retarded) in growth.
One egg may have been broken in the
nest and several Others daubed by the
contents, the pores of the shell SO daubed
being closed, weakening (f not killing
Outright) the chicks within; if killed that
ends them, but if only weakened they are
brought forth late, without stamina or
strength to get a foothold in the chicken
world; they linger few days peeping
discomfort and then drop off. Another
cause O. the weaklings is lack OF stamina
or vigor in the parent bird. A hen may
be too fat and lazy, consequently "Out of
condition." and may lay eggs rich in an
imal fats but poorly supplied with other
elements, and chicks Matched from her
eggs will be weaklings; or a hen may be
exhausted by the heavy drain of steady
egg production, hence her eggs may be
deficient in some element essential to the
growth OF the chick, and her offspring
will be weaklings; or the male bird may
be seme-impotent, orcontnuous inbreed-
ing may have impaired the vigor of the
djarent stock.

runty chicks. The two go together be-
cause the same influences which make
a part of the eggs infertile lower the vi
tally and vigor of the chicks Matched
from the eggs that are fertile, and it
may be safely set down as truism that
good hatch indicates especially Wig
orous chicks and vice versa.
The two principal reasons for the
great mortality in little chicks are
bowel disease (dysentery and diarrh@a)
and lice.
Lice is certainly preventable i'll, and
yet thousands of young chicks are
yearly sacrificed TO their greed. One way
in which the lice kill them is by swarm
ing upon them in such numbers that
they quite drain away the life and
literally murder their innocent prey.
Another way, and probably the larger
number are thus carried off is by
steady though partial drain upon the
system lowering the vitality and max
ing the poor chick peculiarly suscept-
ible to chill winds and rains, or expo
sure to wet on the grass in the early
morning, resulting in looseness of the
bowels, which the weakened little BODY
cannot rally against, and the result is
speedy or lingering death. 1t is easy to
clear out the lice. 1t only requires the
will to do it, and the application OF sim
pie remedies. The coop must be abso-
lutely clean, the sitting hen we'll busted
with Dalmatian (Persian) insect powder,
or some good insecticide three times.
two days aparS, j1st before the hatch,
then keep the chicks (and hens brooding
them) away from the others. One thing
is certain, we cannot raise chic kens and
lice. If we want chickens we must de-
stroy the vermin IF we want lice let them
alone and they will destroy the chicks.
Bowel disease carries off its thuus-
ands of chicks also, and the princiE al
causes are improper food, chill from
wet and cold. or one Of them) land want
of grit. It is difficult to decide which
of the three principe causes is the most
potent. With some farmers it is one,
with others another; then, again, it is
all three. Probably the want of grit in
the gzzard to grind up the food there
is the most frequent cause, as it is one
oil the simplest and easiest to prevent.
Grit is to the chickens what teeth are to
us. Without teeth, with which to mas
ticate our foUd, what sorry plight we
would be in. Imagine the condition of
a hungry man without teeth sitting
down at table and getting the food into
his stomach after a fashion. What
would the stomach do with it? Imag.
inc the stomach saying, "Hello, what
the mischief can [ do with this"? 1t
couldn't digest the unmasticated food,
and there it would lie sodden mass, lr-
ritating the organ until the latter or
gan rallied to rel 9ct it and send it ont
the way itcame. Similarly with chick
without grit. Being hungry it eats of
the food prepared for it; the food goes
Into the crop where it is moistened and
softened and then passes on to the gig

ton OF the latter organ when it receives
a mass of food to be ground (chewed)
