CHAPTER X.
HIS PA GOES HUNTING.


what has Your Pa got his Jaw tied
up for, and what makes his right eve Sd
black and blue?" asked the grocery man
OF the bad boy as the boy came to bring
some butter back that was strong enough
to work on the street. You haven't
hurt your poor old Pa, have your

ought to have seen him when the gun
was engaged in kicking him." saws the
boy as lie set tie butter plate on the
cheesrbox.
well, tel us about it. What had the
gun against Your Pa? guess it was the
son OF gun that kicked him." said tho
grocery man as he winked at n servant
girl who came in with her apron over
her head after . cents worth of yeast.
I'm tell you if you will keep watch
down street for Pa. He saws he is
damned if lie will stand this foolishness
any longer"
What. does your father swear whilo
he is on probation.-
Swear! Well. | should caclle. You
ought to have heard him when he como
to and spit out the loose teeth. You
see, since Pa quit drinking he is little
nervous, an tho doctor said he ought to
go ont somewhere and get bizness off his
mind, and hunt ducks, and row boat.
and get strength, and Pa said shooting
ducks was inst in his hand, and ior me

Iou ought to seen Pa. He was Just like
boy that was sick and couldn't 20 to
school. When we got ont by the lake, he
jumped up and cracked his heels together
and yelled. thought he was crazy, but
he was only cunning.
First / scared him nearly TO death by
firing OF the gun behind him as wewere
going along tho bank and blowing off n
piece of his coattail knew it wouldn't
hurt him, but he turned pale and told
me to lay down that gun, and he picked
IT up and carried IL the rest of the way,
and was offul glad cause 1t Yves n heavy
gun. His coattail smellel like when
you burn a rag to make the air in the
room stop smelling SO all the forenoon.
You know Pa is little near sighted. but
he don't believe it. so got some Of the
wooden decoy ducks that the hunters
use and put them in the lake, and you
ought to see Pa get down on his belly
and crawl through the grass to get up
close to them. He shot 20 times at the
wooden ducks and wanted me TO go in
and fetch them out, but told him was
no retriever dog.
"Thcn Pa was mad and said all no
brought me along for was to carry game,
and ] had come near shooting his hind
leg off, and now wouldn't carry ducks.
While he was coaxing me to go i'm the

Dear Mr.. Editor.

Ii a discussion of the availability ofthe

Of realizing THE facility for the owners Of
many thousand Of acres $50 long needed and
hoped for); | would gladly, las a beginning),
give my opinion on the subject. Judging by
precedents it will end in "talk'.
When you touch upon the subject of large
transport at all, you must have the canes to
get the canes you must cultivate; to cult.
vate. you must have money to invest; to in
vest money, you must have confidence in the
result. All of these conditions arc at pre-.
sent wanting, on account of the entire absence
OF facility at, or cooperation of, the factory.
10 b able to show that with S2.O6 for
sugar, one could handle canes six times over.
mot counting time or distance) before using
at factory, and cover expenses, would DO a
very new and lucrative branch Of arithmetic
The only way by which the cultivation will
be extended to any degree must be Mronqh
the .~ertreme s'mpIifcatiOn Of receiving and
paying for canes.
That it could mot pay for canes from thu
upper part of the island to come to the facto.
ry by land without rails, is evident, as we'll as
that the canes cannot in a paying way come
by water, when you have to head them out
OF the vessel CATER you arc as far as the fac.
tory'S wharf and then throw them Oh to the
beach, to b taken up again aud cartel, (at
15t), to tae weighing station.

/ have little doubt that the Factory, by
receiving ana weighing the canes on the
coal wharf, Or any other place, would bring
itself many miles nearer to tho eastern pro-
ducers, avoiding lagoon transport and all.
Now then, dear Mr.. Editor, as 1 take it.
that the factory, being a patriotic and small
farmers institution, might, with the low prices,
(and onlargine; the country [ have I'm q

We Welcome the letter Of our correspondent
a. as shelving that some interest, even if it
be Of a rather Respondent kind, is taken in the
question raised in these columns concerning
the Improvement Of the means Of transport
ing canes from the East End to the Central
Factory. That the question is ap important
one we have ourselves no manner of doubt.
The raising Of sugar canes is that branch Of
agricultural industry that suits best the soil
and climate Of our island. Nothing yet tried
can compare with the cane, and it is still to be
sheTn that there is any product that can beat
it. We believe, and have asserted again and
again, that there areOther products which may
supplement the cane, ana ought to be grown
in those parts Of the island where that plant
cannot ptoftably be raised; but we believe
that the cane will always be by far our most
important crop, and that when it ceases to be
profitable to raise it, the prosperity Of Santa
Cruz will be at ar end. Any measure that
tends then to maintain the present area of
profitable sugar cane raising, and any mea-
sure that helps to extend that area we regard
as Of importance to this colony.
Our correspondent does not appear to doubt
that the water wayjwhich we suggest could be
used, but he thinks that the necessity of
throwing the canes on the beach at the Fac.
tory, and there reloading them into carts to
be taken up to the Weighing station, makes the
handling too cumbr0us, and he suggests that if
the canes could be received and Weighed on
the coal wharf the matter would be simplifed.
As a matter Of fact the Factory coal wharf is
in full use for receiving coal and shipping
sugar, and it would DO impossible to receive
canes there, but we have good ground
for thinking that the Factory would be will
ing to put up a special wharf for receiving
canes, if it were shown that the parties con-
oernod were prepared to avail themselves of
such a facility. 1t cannot be expected that
the Factory would go to such an expense sim
ply because a few words are said in favour Of
the scheme; buff tho land owners and cane
producers at the EastEnd viii put their hoads
together and devise a good scheme of water
conveyance, there is little doubt of their get
Sing a favourable hearing at the Factory.
With such a wharf erected it would be oasv to
unload the lighters or boats into the wagons
on the ttamway, along which these would be
run 70 the weighing machine, and the whole
process would DO quick and economical. Canes
could then be brought by soa not only down
the lagoon, but from points higher up, and
wo venture to think that tbs cano-growing
area would be thereby extended, tho value Of
East End properties raised, and the fading
prosperity Of Christiansted, in part at least,
restored,
