STEADY FARMING.

Mistake OF tho Farmers In Not sticking
to Any Ono Thing.
Steady farming, with good rotation
Of crops persistently followed, is the
surest way to success for farmers.
Abrupt changes in order to meet high
prices for some farm product are dan
gerous practices. says the Germantown
Telegraph. It is within the remem-
brance Of every farmer when hay was
50 low that 1t hardly paid to raise 1t
for market. but since then farmers have
been making more profit off hay than
almost any other crop. To suit the
change great many dropped hay from
their list Of farm crops and tried to get
along without 1t. The steady farmers
continued to give grass a place in their
crop rotation. turning 1t under when
1t would not pay ito cut and sell 1t az
hay. and when prices went up again for
hay they were the only ones who had
good crops to sell. Besides enriching the
soil with the grass they found them
selves prepared to reap a good harvest
when prices came round again to their
normal condition. Just now sheep have
been at discount and thousands have
been selling them of to raise something
else more profitable. But sheep, both
for wool and mutton, will be profitable
In the future. Several times in the past:
the sheep industry has been at its,iow-
est ebb, but 1t revived in time. Steam
and electricity are said to be driving
horses out Of the market and that 1t
will no longer pay to raise fine colts.
There never was q time and probably
never will be when It did not pay to
raise, good horses. Underbred stock IL
too plentiful and will be at q greater
discount in the future than now. but
fine driving road horses or heavy
draught horses will never lose their
value permanently. It IL within the re-
membrance Of the writer when many,
farmers paid s. and So per head for
ordinary sheep because q boom in that
line was sending everything upward.
There are too many farmers engaged in,
this industry who wait for high prices
and then they rush into that particular
line Of work. II sheep are high-priced
they pay exorbitant prices for stock
In order to raise others to sell. Il corn
is the leading farm product that pays

nous corn-flelds. unmindful Of the fact

The war of the quarantine still goes
merrily along. Mr.. Lansing's remarks,
which are published today, are emf
nently to the point. Mr.. Lansing has
himself suffered from gratuitous at
tacks upon his policy on the Board.
The members of the Board, who give
their services gratuitously and whose
responsibility is very large and oner-
Gus, are quite willing to have honest
criticism passed upon their actions,
but are not willing to be ridiculed and
insulted for doing their duty. They
do not claim to be infallible, but they
do claim that they should be treated
with respect.

A WORLDS FAIR.

The Importance of industrial exhibit
tions is immense and every country
with any desire for progress is repre-
scented at the great world exhibitions.
The approaching one IN Paris should
find Hawaii prepared with it's little
mite towards the great whole. In this
the Government should take the mi
tiative, and calling in the assistance of
should make preparations for a dis
play which will show people abroad
that the islands are not the abode of
unbreeched savages, but that they are
more advanced in civilization than
places which have had longer oppor-
tunity and greater advantages.
Models of sugar machinery, of coffee
machinery, photographs in every stage
in the cultivation and manufacture or
preparation of our main staples,
pamphlets and leaflets treating of the
islands, pictures of beautiful spots
upon the islands, specimens of our
woods, of our birds. of our fishes,
carefully prepared exhibits from our
schools, botanical specimens, geolog-
zeal specimens, all take time to pre-
pare. In former times, a short while
before it was necessary to ship the eX-
hibits, they were asked for, and got
together in a somewhat higgledy pig
gledy manner. The results, though
fairly satisfactory, have never been AS
good as they ought to have been. The
getting the materials together has
generally been thrust upon persons
who had work enough already and the
money allowed has never been ade-
quate for the necessary expenditure.
What an immense time may be TAX
en- over preparations for an exhibition
is shown by Sweden. The great eX-
position of the Scandinavian races will
be opened at Stockholm on May 10
and last until October 1st TO perfect
the arrangements for this has taken
Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Fin
land just twenty-five years. 1t will
rank among the greatest of the
Worlds Fairs. Now there is no neces
sity for Hawaii to take any such time
but we certainly can profitably put il
a year or two in systematic prepare
ton for having ourselves properly rep
resented at the Paris Worlds Fair.

The capture of Noa, the murderer of
the unfortunate Chinaman on Molokai
is satisfactory. 1t would have been too
bad had he affected his escape. Still
he had much in his favor. The noun
tains of Molokai are high, the upper
valleys well wooded and painless.
Then there is easy communication by
boat with the opposite coast of Maui.
But the upper valleys of Molokai do
not provide materials for food and Noa
had to come down to where people
lived in order to obtain provisions. The
$500 reward did their work
very satisfactorily. At the same time
the sheriff of Molokai was very much
to blame in taking so powerful a man
as Noa, alone, up the valley on such a
very flimsy excuse as1showing him the
spot where the money was buried, and
then allowing him to slip through BIS
fingers. aW

Minister Shimamura's opinion upon
the labor question comedies with what
was yesterday said editorially in The
Star. The contract labor with Japan
is not likely to be stopped, it is the
free immigrant that will not be al
lowed to come. OF the japanese free
immigrant the islands want no more.
But the planters should carefully look
at the other fields open for labor. This
country has depended too much upon
Japan during the past few years.

tiles, Molokai has an abundant supply
of fish. Some of this is sent at inter-
walls to Honolulu, and regularly to La
haina and Wailuku. But the industry
is not Systematically carried on, and
a far larger yield might be obtained
if there were better means of trans
port.
There is no doubt that when the
other islands have filed up, some one
will turn his eyes to Mololiai; there
are great possibilities and the island
can easily support in comfort and
plenty at least ten times the popula-
ton it does at present. But it will
require to set the industries going.
