Hardware and
General
Merchandise

For some time we have been
trying to get hold of a GOOD
LAWN MOWER, one that
would do all the work of high
priced machines, and yet sell
for about ONE HALF THE MONEY.
We have succeeded in finding
Just such a LAWN MOWER
and do not hesitate to re-
commend them to you. If
you want a Lawn Mower these
will please you in every res
pect and cost you as we say
about one-halt the usual price.
Besides our regular line of
8 and 4ply HOSE we have the
WATERBURY SPHINCTER
GRIP GALVANIZED SPRING
STEEL ARMORED HOSE,
which is the best of the kind
in this market. Those who have
used the common iron-bound
hose will appreciate the WAT
ERBURY STEEL ARMORED
HOSE; it last longer and
is in every way better.
The CACTUS LAWN
SPRINKLER was evidently
made to never wear out; it is
simple and inexpensive, while
it does the work of any other
Lawn Sprinkler, though it has
no revolving parts.
Remember, we sell PEARL
OIL at S1.90 per case, C. O. d.,
delivered to any part of the
city.

Of which the chiefs had monopoly,
and which only added TO the oppres-
| sion of the people. Even this resource
was soon exhausted. Spanish Amer
lea certainly furnished no market for
Hawaiian products. although Homo
lulu served a. an entrepot, from "nlch
foreign goods were smuggIed INTO
Mexico and California, at consldera-
BILE risk. Sugar was occasionally snip
ped around Cape Horn. The amount
OF il exported did not exceed five nun
dred tons per annun before 1853. Dur
ing that early period the furnishing
of supplies 10 the whaling fleet was
the main resource of the Islands. For
many wears over one hundred whalers
called annually for wood, water and
fresh provisions. Even in this traff1c,
the chiefs probably reaped the lions
share OF the profits.
The domestic market was weak and
easily glutted. An extra crop OF pota-
toes or corn or beans would frequently
swamp it.
4. In some districts agriculture was
entirely ruined by the encroachments
of herds of cattle, chiefly owned by
foreigners.
These herds were allowed to increase
without limit, until large tracts of
country were completely Overstocked,
thousands of acres of fertile land laid
waste, and the rights of the native
tenants literally trampled under foot.
The result was that the people in these
districts became discouraged and gave
up the contest. In 1851, fairly good
cattle on Kauai were sold at 500
head. Boiling works were erected in
several places, where carcasses were
"tried out" for their hides and tall
low.
D. Other hindrances might be men
toned, such as the difficulty of trans
portation when there were no roads
except bridle-paths, and no steamers
plying between the islands; the arm
les of catterpillars and other pests;
the stubborn nature of the soil, which
in some places required gangs of ten
or twelve yoke of oxen to drag a sim
gle pillow, etc, which are familiar to
all old residents.

THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The Royal Hawaiian Agricultural
Society, formed in 1850, was a most
useful and creditable institution, and
we have nothing TO show at present
equal TO it. By its discussions, its
annual exhibitions and premiums,
and by the introduction of improved
varieties of plants and domestic ami
mails, il was of great service to this
country. It's printed transactions even
now are interesting reading. Local
branch societies were formed on the
different islands, and every effort
made to interest the natives in its OBJ
jects. No more Jealous members of
that society could be found than many
OF the old missionaries.
After the death of Kamehameha
I'LL, from various causes, a reaction
set in, exports declined, coffee was
given up, the whaling fleet fell off,
and finally persisted in the Arctic
Ocean in 1871, and sugar-planting ad-
vanced very slowly, with many fail
ures, until the passage of the Reel
procity Treaty.
To conclude, it is difficult, in view
of all the circumstances, to see how
the American missionaries could have
done more than they did to promote
industry among the Hawaiians.
If the result of their labors in that
department fell far short of their hopes
and desires, the failure must be
ascribed TO causes entirely beyond
their control. w. d. ALEXANDER.

THE DIVISION OF LANDS.

VI. At last, in 1S4S and the follow.
ing years, the great reform for which
the missionaries had labored and
prayed so long, was carried into effect,
and the poor, down rodden serf became
free holder and citizen. Over eleven
thousand kuleana awards were issued
at that time. AS these awards were
generally small, the Government pro-
ceeded to divide up the most desirable
portions OF its lands into small lots,
which were sold mostly to natives at
nominal prices. The records of the
land office and our title maps show
every native with homestead.
By Father Green's influence, over
400 acres of land at Makawao were
subdivided and granted to koDldainas
Tor residents), in 1S47, a year before
the "mahele" Cor Great Division of
Lands). The map of Waialua in like
manner testifies to the zeal Of the
resident missionary in procuring a
grant of land for every native. Not
far from 300,000 acres were thus dis
posed of in addition to the kuleanas
proper.
The efforts of these good men were
now redoubled to stimulate the ma
tives TO industry and thrift, and their
hopes were raised by the opening of a
new market in California. For ex-
ample, the upper part of the land of
Kamaole in Kula having been found
to be well adapted to the cultivation
of Irish potatoes, it was surveyed up
into ten acre lots and sold to natives.
Unfortunately, the boom in potatoes
was short lived, and in few years we
were importing instead of exporting
them.

THE CULTURE OF WHEAT.

The culture of wheat was entered
into with great enthusiasm by Father
Green He felt, with good reason,
that it was a civilizing industry. He
said that he was once thrilled by the
thought that he twas engaged in a
noble business-a business in which
Paul or John might engage, if they
were on earth, without single twinge
of conscience" In 1851 he could look
out from his front door over hundred
acres of wheat, waving in the wind,
and the production of it in his district
rose to $1,000 bushels a year. The
same thing was tried in Waiohinu,
Kau, under Mr.. Shipman's influence.
Three flour mills were built at Wal
luku and Honolulu, but, in about ten
years, the business finally failed from
Californian competition.
