HAWAIIAN FIG CULTURE.

The culture of the fig, while yet a
small industry on these Islands, has
gone far enough to prove that the soil
and climate of Hawaii are suitable for
the growth of that delicious fruit. As
yet, however, fig producers have not
gone beyond the mere act Of produc-
ton, though much more than the plant
ing and nurture Of the tree and the
gathering and packing Of the crop is
needed to produce the fig of com
merce.
The ordinary Smyrna fig makes an
excellent dried product, providing the
fruit, when it is in the bud, has been
properly fertilized. Otherwise it be-
comes a fruit of immature flavor, diff
ferentiated from the table fig, not alone
by that fact, but by the comparative
lack of seeds. Fertilization, therefore,
is a factor which cannot be overlooked
by any one who is raising figs for the
market, and until its need is realized
and its process understood, the perfect
fruit cannot be grown here or else
where.
The fertilzing process, which IS seer
at its best in Asia Minor, is calico
capriiction. With every orchard o
fig trees a few wild figs are grown, anc
these produce a pollen which, wher
deposited in the cultivated fig bud
gives the mature fruit its marketable
value. An insect called the JldSto
bhaga carries the pollen from tree
to tree. To assist it in its fructifyin2
work the growers make festoens of wilC
figs and hang them in the orcharc
branches, though the presence of ;
dozen or two wild fig growths in ter
acre field will answer all needed pur
poses.
Two or three years ago the wild fl;
and its pollen-bearer were inn. rted t.
California, with the result that some
excellent fruit was obtained; but mas
much as Caifornians can make more
money out of oranges, lemons, olive!
and raisins, and make it with les:
trouble, fg production has not taker
the form of an industry. Thl:
leaves the way open for Hawaii, which
could not compete with California il
citrus fruits and raisin grapes, to &C
into position to supply the American
fig market. The Islands have thou
sands and tens of thousands of acres 0
table land where figs would thriv,
abundantly, and where, by the intro
duction of the caprifying process, thu
table product could be had in two an
nual crops.
The great need in the Hawaiian
group of diversified industries shoul,
prompt some study Of this fig question
with view to future results.

rage Honolulu foot way is a hard road

black sand, coral chunks, cement, plain

of the adjacent owners. Such a street
as Nuuanu in the business quarter, or

If DR.. G0toS patients are to be eX,
amined by other physicians it should
be done now.
Something should be done in regard
to kokuas marrying lepers. One case
in point is where a man named
went as kokua t. his wife, and they
took their son, small boy, with them,
and the woman died, and the man and
his son continued to live in the settle
ment, though lepers, and now the
son is married to a leper. 81 now he
has a claim to continue to live in the
Element and draw his wife's ration.
The mothers Of children born in the
settlement, as | am informed, are en-
titled to draw one half of ration for
the child; then after the child quits
nursing the child is entitled to a full
ration, so it is an induCement to have
children and keep them at the settle
ment in order to obtain the extra ration.
From the best information | could
obtain, there are about sixty non leper
children at the settlement, and they are
increasing continually.
1t appears to me that it is a crime to
allow the children to remain there and
become a charge on the b ard, and
permitting some of them to become
lepers.
The visitors at the kamaaina houses
are increasing, and the road up the
pail is about as convenient for the lepers
to go up and their friends to come
down to the kamaaina houses as the
Nuuanu pail road is for persons to 60
to koolau,
| see no way to stop the traffic up
and down the pail 50 long as the kule-
anas are owned by the kamaanaS.
AT present, it is segregation in name
only and not in fact In the settlement
it is looked on as farce.
Trusting that the above report will
be satisfactory, | am, sir,

We propose to herewith discontinue our
watch called Elgin's Pride" No. 1902, and
to substitute therefor watch made by the
Waltham Company, which we believe will
not be open to the objections which have
been made to the other fancy-dial watch so
extensively advertised and sold by us. The
hands upon the Elgin's Pride" were i'm
ported, and great difficulty was found in
fitting them to do satisfactory work. In
our new watches these difficulties have been
obviated by the genius of American work
men, who in all cases of competition have
proved their superiority.
The difficulties we encountered in making
up the "EIgin's Pride" have thus been OBJ
waited by the new product Of the American
Waltham Watch Company. The hands and
dial of the new watch are made by the
methods which have proved American me-
chanics famous in this ms in all other
branches. In the watches we offer, the
movement, also, is made by the Waltham
Watch Company. This watch will be fur
nished in same fancy engraved case as
"Elgin's Pride" The works are jeweled in
all important parts with precious stones, the
regulator is of an improved pattern the
hair-spring is made under Logan's great
patents; the dial is handsome beyond our
powers of description, and altogether the
watch looks like 500 time-pece, from
which nobody but an expert can distinguish
it, and that only after most searching ex-
animation. The case is made of solid gold
in two thick plates, stifened in between
with sheet of very strong composition
metal. The case guaranteed to wear like
solid gold for IS years. In every way this
watch is bound to prove one of the most
magnificent and satisfactory articles we have
yet sent out.
This watch is the famous thin model, and
resembles the world-renowned Waltham
Riverside" in all Important points. We
will sell this watch to subscribers only, de-
livery guaranteed and prepaid, as follows:
