a WORD TO CHOLERA CRITICS.

When doctors disagree it is not
surprising that there should be a
marked difference of opinion
among those unaccustomed to Gull
tivating bacilli and determining
the character of disease. From
the manner in which many people
are discussing the present situa-
ton, the Board of Health might
well draw the conclusion that they
made a mistake in not letting the
disease run a while so that the
public might be satisfied beyond
question with the diagnosis. The
majority of the critics seem
to have forgotten the de-
sire expressed last week that
every precautionary measure
should be taken whatever the char
acter of the disease over which
doctors are inclined to disagree.
Whether it is Asiatic cholera,
cholera morbus or sporadic stom-
ach-ache, it is certainly of such
serious character that it demands
the closest attention and a severe
quarantine. Disinfecting is a pre-
cautionary measure, holding
freight is the came and if by these
measures the disease is stamped
out, the good result obtained is
cheap at any cost. While the
embargo on freight may seem I'M
necessary, because there is no
cholera" this Government ought
not to be party to spreading
among the other islands a spor-
adic stomach-ache that carries
it's victims off in twenty
four hours. There is no &C.
casion for alarm, but there
is occasion to look at both sides of
the matter and exercise a fair
amount of common sense that the
burdens of the Board of Health
may be lessened rather than in
creased. The failure of new cases
to appear in forty-eight hours does
not furnish good and sufficient ma
terial for an argument that the
Board is over Jealous in its care of
the public. A scare is a serious
matter and will cost the islands a
large sum of money, but do the
critics stop to consider what an
epidemic might mean?

interesting ln1OrnatlOn re-
garding the street railway in
dustry in the United States is
furnished by a table recently
published, giving the mileage,
cars, stock and debts of all the
roads in the country, and some
important facts are brought
out by them.
Out of ,588 miles Of track
(976 roads,, 1865 miles are
electric and only $50 miles are
cable; the balance being either
elevated or horse power.
The table shows to what
extent electricity has supplant-
ed other means of locomotion.
The extent of capitalization
is another feature calculated to
draw attention.
While theaverage capitaliza-
ton of steam roads amount to
about $4,000 per mile, the
capitalization of the street
roads is as high as $4,000 per
mile.
There is something strange
about this contrast, as street
railways do not generally have
to buy the right of way.
1t is plain that the stock
waters have been doing a
great deal of the recent street
railway building. Either some
of the water will have to be
squeezed out of these securi-
ties before a fair percentage
can reliablybe earned on them,
or it will have demonstrated in
a very striking way the enor-
nous value of public fran
chises which have been given
away to the companies.
Let the wise men of Hawaii
put their heads together" and
see if something cannot be
done to avoid and do away
forever, the possibility OF a
similar state @of fnanciering
regarding our street railways,
and as a suggestion towards a
fair and unbiased decision, let
them recommend MONARCH
BICYCLES.
The cost of running a bicy-
Gle for a mile, a day, or a
week, is so Insignificant that it
would not be fair to the rail-
ways to quote figures.
When the Monarch Bicycle
manufacturers first decided to
place a wheel on the market, |
all these points, the cost of the |
wear and tear of the running
gear, together with the use of
the finest material, the JNAmmes-
mann Steel Tm6jisg were con-
sidered, and the MONARCH
BICYCLE forced itself onto the |
BIKE riders IN such a way |
that it won their good graces
before they were fully aware of
the existence of such bicycle.
By the next Australia we
one of the largest ship
ments of MoNARCHs yet re-
and as numerous
have been booked, we
would advise those who con-
template buying a wheel not
to linger by the way.

Feeding skim Milk.

"The New Hampshire Exper-
iment Station bulletin No. II gives
information about the value of skim
milk rs food for pigs. | advise
every pig grower to secure it of Prof.
Witcher, of Durham, N. H. One
very valuable point of Prof. Witcher
brings out in his work is that 100
pounds of digestible matter in a
ration If skim milk and corn meal
is equal to 146 $40 pounds of digest
ible matter in ration of corn meal
and middlings. He says the super
iority ofthe skim milk ration is due
in part, doubtless, to the greater di-
gestibility, hut still more to the fact
that there is less ndigestible matter
to be carried through the system.
This work showed the cost of a
pound of grain on skim milk and
corn meal to be 3.6c., and on mixed
grain ration to be SIC. This New
HAMPSHIRE work is certainly safe
for New Jersey dairymen to use.
"The Indiana Experiment Station
found skim milk worth 32c. per 100
pounds when fed to calves, and
allowing &c. per pound for the
growth Of the calves. The Mississip-
Epi Experiment Station found 10 lbs.
of skim milk to make nearly as
large gains as 8 pounds of new
milk"

To prove which is the more profit
able market, the creamery or a milk
association in Philadelphia, two
dairymen reported to DIR. A. T. Neal,
month by month-one sending his
milk to Philadelphia, the other to a
creamery which paid by test. The
one sent 1924 quarts of milk to
Philadelphia, for which he received
Bic. per quart, or $1,027.23; the
milk averaging 4.3c. per cent. of fat
for the year, The other sent 1924
quarts of 5 per cent milk to the
creamery, receiving $1,O76.84.
Had the first sent his 4.3 milk to
the creamery he would have lost

Rellef for a Choked Animnl.

Animals having access to apples
or potatoes are liable to be choked
in the attempt to swallow them With
out sufficient mastication. Val
liable animals are often lost from
this cause and great variety OF
remedies have been suggested from
time to time. A Vermont farmer
OF much experience recommends the
following: Pour down the throat
OF the animal a solution of three
tablespoonfuls of common baking
soda in q quart of water. This
should generally relieve the animal
in the course OF two or three minutes.

FARM Notes.


Whole wheat is better for growing
fowls than corn.
Don't allow ducklings to go to the
ponds until they are fully feathered.
There are few kinds of poultry
that pay better than the guineas.
Dry, clean earth makes one Of
the very best materials that can be
used in the nest boxes during the
summer.
Vermin kills as many fowls as
disease.
To make hens lay, give them a
variety Of food, clean quarters and
plenty of exercise, and do not allow
them to get too fat.
Lime will kill lice; it is a good
disinfectant; it will purify the air;
twill make the poultry house clean
and free from vermin.
When you begin to fatten poultry,
doitjust as rapidly and systematic
ally as possible, and then market
when fully ready.
Feeding wheat has a tendency to
produce a healthy growth, build up
the muscular tissues and aid mater
tally to cause the hens to lay plenty
OF rich eggs.
Turkeys do not bear confinement
well, whether young or old. When
shut up they soon mops and droop
their wings and begin to fall off in
condition.
There never was time when care
full selection failed to give good re-
suits, especially when extra atten-
ton is given to the selection of the
male.
The only hens that it will pay to
keep through the winter are those
that can be relied upon for winter
layers or that are needed for breed
ers.
The proper age to begin to feed
fowls for fattening is just as soon as
they have reached maturity. They
will not fatten we'll nor rapidly I'M
til matured.
Oats stimulate without enervating
or fattening. They form a good
ration to reduce the fat of hens that
are too fat to lay well.
In raising poultry for market the
profit lies in Matching early, push
ing the chickens forward as much
as possible and marketing them
early.
Feather pulling is largely due to
idleness. It is most liable to occur
in active breeds that are kept con
fined and have little exercise.
Eggshells are good for the fowls,
but they should be crushed very
fine before feeding them. Other
wise You may introduce the egg
eating vice into the poultry yard.
Geese cost very little if allowed
the liberty of the fields, with access
to pond or stream. To attempt
to make them profitable without
these advantages will result in fail
ure.
One great recommendation that
the larger breeds of fowls have over
the small ones is that the large ones
have to stay where they are put,
while the small ones go where they
please. 49,
Ducks never have the cholera,
roup nor gapes; hawks will not touch
them; they lay more eggs that viii
hatch better than hen eggs. With
good feeding they can readily be
made to weigh five pounds in 10
weeks after Matching.

Of Trade
CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Whsat has shown

which contributed to the betterment of
prices. The English cable. were stronQc-,

question was rapidly approaching a
crisis, and that war might soon follow.
The receipts, too, were somewhat smaller
than expected ana the cash demand for
wheat, which has been SO much of fea
ture during the past few days, shows no
sign OF abatement. California advices
reported more engagements at San Fran
cisco for wheat to go to Australia. PIr-
