ing described property, namely:
A tract of land about $500 acres
in fee simple situate at kolo and Olelomoana
in South Kona, Island Of Hawaii about eight
miles by good road from HOokena, one of
the largest villages in Kona There is an ex-
cellent landing on the land itself from where
the coffee and other produce could be
shipped and a good site for a mill near
the landing. Fifty acres of land are in
coffee. Roughly estimated there
is about seven hundred acres of splendid
coffee land lying all in one block on both
sides of the Government Road: Eight hun
dred acres lying above and to the East of
the seven hundred acres above mentioned is
also excellent land and although at higher
altitude is no doubt also well adapted for
coffee culture The lower land below the
coffee belt is suitable for pineapples and
sisal. There is "A drying house, store and
work rooms, Gordon's Pulper, laborers
quartersand water tanks at the plantation
and the land is partly walled. There has
never been any blight on this land, although
coffee was planted there great many years
ago. Old residents of Kona like the late ID.

THE CHESHIRE HOG.

Champinns-

Champions.
A breeder of Cheshires declares on his
honor as live stock man that he raised
one pig of this family which weighed 416
pounds dressed meat at months and IA
days old. He declares further that it is
not very uncommon for Cheshires at 8
months old to weigh 400 pounds and
over, pigs both full blood and grade.
The 4l6 pound pig yielded in addition
to that weight 40 pounds Of lard from
its intestines. 1t was fed chiefly on
skimmik and cornmeal.
The Cheshire hog is always white, and
the sows are very prolific. The breed,
although it has an English name, is
American, originating in jefferson coun-

Feeding Oilmeal to Pigs.

Of rations for growing pigs?'
We have used oilmeal in number Of
instances for growing pigs, both before
and after weaving, and have always been
pleased with the results. Pigs that are
fed little oilmeal always have gloss
to the hair and general finish which is
very noticeable. In the first place farm
stock always does better on variety of
foods than sss d single kind or limited
number. Oilmeal adds to the list, and
further than that has an effect with pigs
just in the same line as we notice in fat
tening cattle, This point I have referred
to above. advise swine breeders, and
especially those growing the pedigreed
stock for exhibition or sale, to study the
use of oilmeal for young pigs and shoats.

FABIANI WINS HIS CASE.

Berne, Dec 3O.-The Swiss Federal
Council has rendered decision in the
matter of the arbitration Of the claims of
the French merchant and ship owner. NJ.
Fabiani, against the republic of Venezuela
under the administration of the former
president, Blanco.
Fabiani asserted that Blanco had ruined
him. and his claims for indemnity were
submitted to the president of the Swiss
Confederation for arbitration. in S91. The
Federal Council in 1898 directed Prof
virgile Rossel. OF the University of Berne,
to examine the case and givea legal opinion
of the action of the Venezuelan executive
toward the complainant, who demanded
5S 900 900 francs indemnity.
The award promulgated by the Federal
Council today simply recognizes the fact
that justice was denied to Fabiani. and
fixes the indemnity to be paid to him by
the repnblic of Venezuela at 4 4,34s .656
francs.
The decision solves a great many points
affecting the rights of nations, private and
international rights, and civil rights. and
gives exhaustive explanations thereon.
The documents. it is expected, will be III
the highest order Of international value.

Postal Sayings Banks.

There is now pending in Congress Il bill
| banks, the passage of which, it is believed,
would greatly inure to the benefit of all
classes OF the population, but especially Of
small wage earners Whether justly OF
unjustly, farmers and laborers have an al
most superstitious aversion against banks,
which is not likely to be removed by such
occurrences as the mcteoric shower of
bank failures in the West at the present
time. To these classes the postal savings
banks would afford safe place Of deposit,
with the government us their debtor. Not
but they would become factors in the coun-
trys financial progress.
Judging from the experience of European
countries in which postal savings banks
have bee n in operation, the capital deposited
there rapidly accumulates to remarkable
proportions. In England, Scotland ard
Ireland these deposits aggregated in 1923
$402, 500 900. In that year something
like ten millions of deposits were made, ag
gregating $I23.OO0 900. while the with
drawals amounted TO SIOs 800 900. The
government thus becomes the custodian of
immense sums, of which it can make Use in
the redemption of the national debt, and in
States Government bonds could be retired
and an mme nse amount o interest sa;ed.
The moral effect OF such savings banks
upon the people cannot be ovcrcstimnatei.
They stimulate thrift and economy, and
cause persons to appreciate tile Importance
and advantage of keeping their expenses
French writer recently put the case thus
The savings bank is, in fact, school

can be little doubt that they would prove

This amount was paid in by the firms men

at once set on foot to realize On their in
vestment.
The benefits accrung to the purchasers
of the bonds are held to be as follows:
First, the French government has authorized
u lottery for the sale OF the bonds. Every
mouth OF the present year, and every two
months IN 1897, '9s, '99 and 1900 the
holders are entitled to participate in the
lottery. The first prize is placed at
100 900 francs; second, 10000; third, r.,
francs. From time to time special draw
ing is TO be held ON which occasions o0l,-
900 francs was the first prize offered.
The second inducement to prospective
purchasers OF the bonds consists in the fact
that twenty tickets OF admission to the fair
are attached to each bond, and the third
is that rebates on railroad and steamship
lines are secured by the bonds during the
continuance Of the fair.
A fourth consideration lies in the reduc
ton of tickets of admission to theaters and
other places OF amusement during the ex-
