materially to the success insured by
the instruction of Mrs. Turner.

A CHRISTIAN COURSE
CONTRIBUTION on EXPRESSION
AND PLEASURE GROUND.
Commendation of Plan for New
Park-No Destructive Christianity
Beauty the Splendor of Truth"

To the Editor of the Hawaiian Star
-Sir:-Some time ago there appeared
in the columns of the leading jour
nal a statement touching american
Christianity" in our midst. Not being
a theologian, nor understanding in
what respect american Christianity"
differs from that promulgated and
taught on the hills of Galilee by Him
Gus and cruel tragedy of Calvary, not
knowing, | say, where these differ
ences lie, the expression seemed. and
seems, to say the least of it, peculiar.
American civilization we all wot of:
power, the triumphs and trials of
which, reverberate and echo round
world. Evidence of it in our island
midst is surely not wanting and the
letters appearing in the Advertiser
of yesterday and today's date, advo-
eating new park in the poorer por-
tions of the city, are generous and
graphic expressions thereof, and of a
sentiment that our whole community
will surely join in, and the declaration
of which will strengthen the hands of
| the authorities in making necessary
arrangements. The present supplying
of a want, that will grow with the
city's growth, and every day become
more difficult of filling. and more
costly in carrying out, is wise. The
Christianity of Christ is world wide,
knows nothing of nationalities. creeds
or color, urges men on to think of
their fellows, and do what in them lies
for their comfort and well being. Let
| there rise up on the banks of Nuu
anus stream park that will beautify
that portion of the city, help to bright
en- the lives of the young. and
! strengthen the good resolves OF ali
that in coming time enjoy it. Plato
said Beauty is the splendor of truth"
Let it be ever made manifest in our
midst, and so, perchance, will many
a life be frightened. and many a soul
be lifted to higher planes of enjoyment
and delight

About the Potato.

An Australian agriculturaiist, Mr.
Krinchauf, has called attention to the
fact that the potato will celebrate the
300th anniversary of its introduction
into England this year. 1t was in
1896 that Sir Walter Raleigh returned
to England from America with the first
tobacco and potatoes, which originally
grew in Peru. Although the potato. it
is estimated, now furnishes one-sixth
of the nourishment of the human race.
for . long time it was delicacy for the
rich alone. Even at the beginning of
the sixteenth century noblemen paid
two shillings pound for potatoes and
seasoned them with sherry. People
often visited the garden of the botanist
Gerard, at Holborn, to see the plants in
bloom. There is talk of celebration
in honor of the anniversary.-New

Indiana DAIRY Statistics.

The commissioner of the bureau Of
statistics for the state OF Indiana has
compiled report of the farm products
of that state for 1895. Tie figures
given, the commissioner says, are in
no case estimates. but are the results
of questions asked every farmer in the
state by sworn officers of the state"
1t would seem from this that such in
formation might be deemed fairly re-
liable. In the light of such conclu-
sion. we give the following facts as
taken from the report:
Total number of Jersey cattle in the
state. 1876.
Total number of Holstein cattle in the
state, S,G06.
Total number of Short-horn cattle
in the state. 55.255.
Total number of all other breeds in
the state, S13.i95.
Total number of COWS of all breeds.
46S,O4S.
Total number of gallons of milk taken
last year, 145. 1896. .SeS.
Pounds of butter made. 81, ,200,916
Pounds of cheese made, 394.6i5.
BY an analysis of these figures we
find that the average milk production
of Indiana COWS is $500 lbs. per COW.
Allowing that the milk is up to stand
ard. containing per cent of butter fat,
we find that the average butter produc-
tion of the state cannot possibly ex-
ceed 100 pounds a year.-EX.

The illustration on this page shows
two Ayrshire COWS, named "Ollyhill'
and mate" They are considered very
fine types Of their breed. The cuts are
reproduced from the United States con-
sular report. The consul at Leeds.
England, makes the following report
on the Ayrshire breed in the United
Kingdom.
The Ayrshire ranks among the best
cattle for dairy purposes. It has few
equals for this. but is not held in high
estimation for beef. because too small.
The Ayrshires are good feeders when
dry. They are a hardy race. Their home
on the Clyde and near the Irish Sea
consists Of moorland, hills. and in some
parts undulating surface Of common
clay. The hills are light, rocky, and
with poor heritage. The narrow val
leys have sweeter food. Toward the
sea there are great stretches Of barren
sand. The climate is moist, and the
district greatly exposed to continual
wind and moist vap0rs from the At
lantic. There are a few tracts of use
full land, but throughout the fertility is
very moderate.
The Ayrshires at one time were
used in the London dairies. but have
been relinquished in favor of the York
shire or Teeswater Shorthorn. They
did not come to the weight and condf-
tion desired for slaughter after they
had ceased to be profitable for milk.
They have been supplanted by animals
better adapted to being fed for beef
after they have served their time in
the dairy.
The origin of this breed is difficult to
trace. No particular men seem to have
stood out prominently as breeders or
improvers. The chief excellence of the
breed is supposed to have arisen from
the peculiar circumstances of climate,
soil and situation of several of the west
ern counties of Scotland. The farmers
in these districts noted the points that
indicated good mixers, and, as con-
sequence, very superior breed of milk
crs was established. No breed of cat
tie in Scotland produce like guam

Concrete In Cow Sta hieS.

Some one has said that you can't abb
stract fertility through concrete floor.
1t is true. Drainage away from Il m:.-
nure pile indicates lack of Drainage.
1t is hard for some farmers to under
stand that the liquid manure contains
all the digestcd portions of the food
that are passed by the animal. These
digestible parts are soluble, and not
only quickest in their action AS plant
food, but easiest to run away if not
Jailed by concrete floor. As DR.. Young
says, any place that is to hold manure
should be flOored with concrete if pos
sible. 1t is wise provision of Nature
that man has this power OF grinding
up concrete. and then molding it to suit
his will into artificial stone to cover any
desired surface with water-tight COW
ering. This wonderful action is as Use
full in it's way as is the chemical action
of fire. 1t is one of the things placed
in our hands with which to prevent a
loss, and there are few losses so serious
to the farmer as the loss of fertility.
With concrete floors and plaster for an
absorbent We may add much to the
value of manure, not alone by saving
the fertilizing value of the liquids, but
by retaining moisture in the pile
