Vandalism Much Exaggerated.

Honolulu.--The investigation OF the
alleged acts OF vandalism on the part
of the United States troops now here
in destroying truck gardens and pine
apple patches is proceeding. The evi.
dence so far heard goes to show that
the amount OF damage done has been
greatly exaggerated, and that an effort
was made on the part OF some of the
gardeners who suffered to make out
worse case than really existed as
means of securing damages the equiya.
lent of an extra crop off their fields.

Feed Well Always.

1t is getting to be we'll understood
among well.posted raisers of beef, pork
and mutton that early maturity of the
products on which they rely for profits
Is necessary to their success in bust
ness. The essential things are to adopt
breed that will grow fast, and then
to feed them well constantly, and send
them to market at as early an age as
possible. To illustrator Steers were
formerly turned eff for beef when four
years old; then, as the introduction of
"early ripening" Short-horn blood
made it possible, the term was short.
ened one year; and latterly good raisers
are aiming to fit their steers for mar ket
when "two year old past. This phil
osophy OF early maturity and constant
high feeding applies with full force to
raising fowls for the food market.
We therefore advise what we have
practiced in our own poultry expert
ence hitherto, Aud We deem it quite
as important a matter, where poultry
Is raised for marketing or family use
only, that the birds be furnished with
the best food attainable-from the
shell upward-for their thrift, as we
do that the innumerable flocks Of fancy
fowls or improved" poultry stock
around us should thus be treated, first
and last.
In this way the very choicest dead
poultry Is produoed--and some fowls
are ready at all times OF the year and
at any period Of their lives for the
market-with very few days final
preparation in fattening. While, upon
the same principle, the ''fancy" breed.
ing stock we keep is rendered by far
the most presentable in the appearance
OF its plumage, they are always found
thus to enjoy better health, and in
every way-through this treatment
they do their keepers credit.
Be it remembered, however. that
when we speak OF feeding well we do
not mean that stock fowls, or those
Kept for laying purposes, shorld be
overfed and cloyed. There is a happy
mean that should be found. Feeding
Asiatic and Plymouth Rock hens too
much in autumn or early winter has,
IN many instances, produced SO much
internal fat as to render weak or barren
q great proportion of their eggs, de.
pended upon for spring Matching.

why Is Poultry Valuable to the Farmer

why - FouItry Valuable To the Farmer
Prof. Gilbert, of Ottawa, answers
this question in the following manner,
and his conclusions cannot be ques.
toned:
/. Because he ought by their means
to convert good deal of the waste OF
his farm into money in the shape OF
eggs and chickens for market.
2. Because with intelligent manage
ment they ought to be all-year revenue
producers, with the exception OF per-
haps two months, during the moulting
period.
3. Because poultry will yield him a
quicker return for his capital invested
than any OF the other departments of
agriculture.
A. Because the manure from the
poultry house will make a valuable
compost for use in either vegetable
garden or orchard. The birds them.
selves, ii allowed to run in plum or
apple orchards. will destroy all iniur-
ious insect life.
5. Because while cereals and fruits
can only be successfully grown in Ger.
tain sections, poultry can be raised for
table use or layers of eggs in all parts
OF the country.
o. Because poultry raising is an
employment in which the farmers
wife and daughters can engage in and
leave him free to attend to other de-
partments.
Z. Because it will bring the hest
returns in the shape Of new-laid eggs
during the winter season--when the
farmer has most time on his hands.
8. Because to start poultry raising
on the farm requires little or no capt.
tai. Under any circumstances, with
proper management, poultry can be
made, with little cost, valuable adj
junct to the farm,-Farmer and Breed
er.

In his excellent address on the above
subject before the Dairymens' Associa-
ton of British Columbia, Mr.. H. F.
Page enumerated the following as some
OF the advantages that result from fall
calving cows:
/. Such COWS go into winter on an
increasing rather than a decreasing
flow of milk.
2. The fall feed will produce good
deal more milk in flush COW than
from. a stripper.
=. At the end OF, say, six months,
the fall calving COW strikes fresh pas
ture and that expands her milk flow.
At the end of six months the spring
calving COW strikes cold weather and
that shrinks her milk flow.
A. Careful experiments, and the
experience of we'll posted dairymen,
show that cows calving in the fall
average over thousand pounds more
milk in year than if they are fresh in
the spring.
A writer in the Country Gentleman
states, that ten OF his best cows. caly.
ing in April, gave 4s, OPS pounds Of
milk during the year, while ten other
cows, OF not equal quality, calving in
the fall, gave 5O.47S pounds for the
same period.
8. The cost OF the labor incident to
the care of COWS is less in winter than
in summer.
q. Fall dropped calves have 8 to 10
months the start of flies.
z. The increased value in cash of
the winter over the summer product,
amounting from 80 to 80 per cent.
8. The work OF the farm is more
evenly distributed throughout the
year, enabling the farmer to hire his
help by the year, which is generally
the most profitable.
In conclusion, Mr.. Page adds:
y would say, study your business
by reading one or more of the best
papers bearing on the subject; consider
the means used by those who have
been successful, and adopt them as
far as practical for you to do so. |
will say again, that comfort, with
regularity of attention is essential TO
success in dairying, be it summer or

The Mayors Quarterly Message.

The mayors quarterly message, as required by section Il of the new city charter, was presented at the meeting of the aldermen, and is as follows:
 To the Honorable Court of Common
 Council of the City of New Haven:
 Tor the purpose of making "a gen. seral statement of the condition of the city in relation to it's government Inances, improvements and affairs which article 3 of section Il of the char ter requires shall be communicated to your honorable body quarterly, have thought best to ask the heads of de- partments to make such statements of the work and needs of their depart 7nents as would be of interest to thoughtful taxpayers, together with a schedule of the property of the city in their charge and an estimate of it's value. Reports have been received except the departments of public works, police, fire, health, library, parks and lamps. All of these reports ac- company this communication. I would suggest that after being read before your honorable body they be sent to the board of finance for their guidance in making estimates for net year.
 AlttI pISLly ISdulllS sLOoot the debts of our consolidated city, some satisfaction may be derived from d statement of some of our assets. Con- sidering the difficulties in the way of doing business of a municipal corpora tion just as that of a private corpora tion is done, New Haven has, in her sewers, pavements, parks school houses and various other properties,
 &s,,f, offset against her indebtedness
 It is claimed by some of our citizens that New Haven has been eXtravagant and the fact that we have as much value for the money expended as any city in the country, is not wholly sat isfactory. That other cities have beer more extravagant does not palliate oul offence if we are guilty.
 We must work together to better oul condition, cease for awhile to devote all our energies to devising ways tt increase our expenditures and endeavol to increase our income, or decrease oul expenditures or both.
 In the matter of possible income, WI want and ought to have the $40,OOo pait by the street railway companies to th' state. We ought to collect severa thousand dollars for military and pol
