Ed. @. Holstein has com piled the
most popular Hawaiian songs in a
book titled, "Ka Buke Mele o ma Hi
meni Hawaii" The work has been
gotten up in a very neat manner and
the young gifted editor deserves
credit for his work. The little vol

News 90, and being sold at an easy
rate will be in demand by Hawaiians
as we'll as by foreigners.

black soil, land which is too frosty for
many crops, is fine soil for the arti-

They often yield on good land as high
as 500 bushels per acre. There is vast
difference in artichokes. The native
or wild kind is worthless, while the
improved variety is of great value. 1

largely in France for domestic use as

close cultivation has proven them to

l have been experimenting with them
for over five years in the way of cult
waiting, harvesting, feeding and keep

able because no insect, blight or rust
has yet struck them, and the tops make
fodder superior to corn when proper

Then l pile the tubers up to a peak,
putting on a shallow layer of straw

not injure the growing or feeding quail

fact that another child is eager, i'm

infrequently the mourning and the re-
Joicing ought to change places, If the
future life and character be taken into

i have owned this farm for 25 years.
For Is years il has been n good farm for
you. l have paid you interest enough to
nave SCit sun anu htti puSh
college. You ask what that has to do
about good roads. 1t has this to do: l
have figured that if we had maintained
q system of good roads it would have
cost me half as much to market my
products. 1t would have been done with
half of the teams, half of the hired men,
less than half of the cost in wagons. The
,.,,r,ns b,ya vracl. ad IN our had roads

Sl,470. Some of them might have failed
on good roads, but it is safe to say that
my loss on wagons alone was $1,000
more than il would have been on rea-
sonably good roads. | figure that the
extra teams and their living, cost me
$4,000, and the hired hclp-more than
would have had if the roads had been
such as that paper tells about-has
cost me $4,000. Every man of mature
judgment ought to know that If we
had good roads about here, and especial
" between here and the cities to the
right and left, where most of our prod
ucts are marketed, and where we do
most of our trading, and in one of which
we attend church, and where our sons
and daughters go to high school, this
farm would be worth double what it is
now, and / call it worth $4,000 at pres
ent. That is $4,000 more that would
have been added to my savings by good
roads. That makes my loss over $751;
coo, a good deal more than am worth
to-day. My bright boy and girl must go
without the college education l had
hoped to give them and could have given
If l had had the benefits to be derived
from good roads. / see why you do not

money-lender would end with an era of
good roads. Farmers would save
enough by them to become bank de-
positors instead of borrowers. I'm anx-
ious for good roads. You. too, would be,
1 guess, if bad roads had cost you nearly
$4,000"
1t was an unanswerable argument
and the money-lender admitted as much
by departing without saying another

In family where there are three

to their little niece, so at the age of ~

Trade. in Bosu. butter.

The commissioner of internal reve-
nue. reports that in nine years 100000
600 pounds of oleomargarine have been
made and sold in this country. This
bogus product has taken the place of
butter to the value of about SIS, 900, 900.
And il is safe to say that nine pounds in
every ten have been consumed under
the impression that it was butter. Some
cattlemen denounce laws restricting
the sale and use of oleomargarine and
declare that the manufacture of the
stuff odds quite q sum to the value of
every animal sold. One who can be-
lieve that oleo has added $ss,000,o 900 to

r,rn,p. Hurt MIX Flavor.

At the Iowa station it was found that
turnips injure the flavor of both milk
and butter. This injury is due to vola-
tile acids, which can be driven off by
heating the milk to 100 degrees for a
short time. Beets increased the milk
and butter product, and caused all the
cows, even Jerseys, to lay on fat quite
rapidly. When the roots were discon-
tinued butter fat decreased and the
cows ceased to gain weight. and it took
more pounds of feed calculated to dry
matter) to produce pound of butter.
When turned on pasture there was inn
mediate increase of milk, butter aud
live weight. Feeding bran during part
