A Model Plant is not complete without

Horned Frogs for Hawaii.

SAN DIEGO, May 17.-H. P. Wood,
the Hawaiian Consul, received an
order yesterday from the Commits
siOner OF Agriculture and Forestry of
Hawaii for 500 horned toads, TO be
used on the islands TO destroy bug
that is eating everything in sight.
toads had been imported, but that
they required water, which was not
always handy, while the horned toad
needed no water, and was equally ex-
pert as bug-catcher. Consul Wood
therefore advertised for horned toads,
paying 81 per dozen for them.

Shredder
(PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS 90
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.

Mr.. John A. Scott, Manager
of the Hilo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful
record of the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop just har-
vested:
During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex-
ceeded any of its former
records by closing the 125
hours grinding with an output
of 3003 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
"The three roller mill being
26 in. by "a in. and the two
roller mill 80 in. by so in. The
first mill doing this amount of
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently cree
ted by the Company. And
by its use the extrac-
tiOn has been increased from
3 per cent. to 5 per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases so per cent. has been
reached; the average being Is
to IS per cent, according to
quality.
81 continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
OF cane, and a large part Of it
being hard ratoons.
'The shredder and engine
require very little care or
attention"
Plans and specifications
Of these shredders may be seen

Mr.. Potts was a good neighbor, con-
serative and conscientious man. He
served the people one term as

that science has been able to cure in all its
