roaming in safety on shore of greer
grass crossed her mind as she assent
ed When she visited the pug, how
ever, she found that he had scratched
up all the grass on the place in hiding
his bones, which the polite pug Offered
her in great number.
She was reserved in her manner tt
the pug after that, but he kept or
coming after eggs in the most agree
able manner in the world. One day
she saw him eyeing her out of the cor
ner of his eyes and licking his chops
as pugs do when they see something
they want to eat. The next time he
came she Kissed at him and told him
to keep off. Whereupon the pug re-
turned and barked at her about the
agreement until it attracted the atten-
ton of Uncle Sam. She hid her head
under her wing at this, for she knew
she had been a great goose.
Meanwhile the geese in Uncle Sam S
yard set up a great noise. I'VE can
lay all the eggs you want, and more,
too, if you'll feed us the corn you give
to her. Let that island goose paddle
for herself"
The island goose heard the Kissing,
and was much alarmed lest her supply
of corn be cut off. She knew that she
had come to depend too much on an
everlasting supply of corn from Uncle
Sam, till she was unfit to paddle for
her own living.
A lion, hearing the noise, came out
of the woods and stood looking over
the water at the alarmed goose, sniff
ing the air in a hungry manner; then,
seeing Uncle Sam, retired into the
wood again, with a longing look over
his shoulder.
81 prefer to exercise my free auton-
omy of independent goosehood,"
thought the goose to herself; but I
can't much longer. Any goose can see
that" And so she padded over to see
Uncle Sam about it.
Dear Uncle" said the goose, in her
most graceful manner; you've been
awful good to me before. Won't you
count me in on your roost now. I've
always looked upon you as sort of
uncle, because, you know, your ducks
came over and Matched me from an
egg they found, and then when I grew
up you began to feed me. Besides, l
can promise you more eggs if you'll
keep that pug away"
I'll see about it," answered the
shrewd farmer, as he walked away to
his woodpile, revolving the subject in
his mind. eff I don't call that thar
goose mine pretty darned soon, guess
that garl-darned pug II eat 'er, er the
lion will. l caIca'la late l amt got no
right now to let her be dog meat, no
how. 1 guess 1 be a feedin' her bout
long 'nough, anyhow. She must be
bout all my goose by this time"
And the pug kept up great bark
ing. 81 can't allow that agreement
to be broken" Uncle Sam merely
and kept on saving wood. Il
guess that thar pug thinks he can run
the whole duck pond since he licked
them lame ducks" though Uncle Sam
to himself. THAT thar goose is dog
meat if I don't take her first. Any
goose with a glass eye could see that"
and he kept on saving wood.

and write this letter to obtain informa-
ton from you on that subject.
At what price and on what terms
can good Government lands be secur-
ed and how far distant are they from
cultivated areas? What can improved
coffee lands or plantations be pur-
chased for? 1t is my intention to Sc
cure say half dozen families or more
to accompany me, and open up new
farms, or purchase some partially
opened and planted, provided it can be
reasonably done. Could you forward
me map of the Islands, that portion
you would recommend, for the pur-
poses mentioned, and where advan-
tage of society and school can be had.
My capital is limited, but have plenty
of energy and perseverance.
Shall be pleased to receive such sta
tistics from you that you may have
convenient.
Can labor be secured for agricultural
and horticultural pursuits? And what
are the wages ordinarily paid?
Could you favor me with current
market sales, for the products of the
Islands?
l am afraid of trespassing too much
on your time, in my quest for informa-
ton, and shall hence delegate you, to
use your best judgment in supplying
me with information What we want
is a good healthy climate, good pro-
ductive lands, where labor if energeti-
cally applied and wisely directed, a
competence can be made for the fut-
ure, and some advantages of civilized
society, if not continually, at frequent
intervals
Hoping to hear from you at your
earliest convenience
l am, yours very respectfully,
HERMAN E. LONG.
We have on our memorandum book
the names of three practical agricul-
turalists from Southern California
who came here to settle. One of them
came here with his wife and three
children, as well as his furniture He
says, that he left his sugar beet farm
with the mill owners as he could not
make it pay. These men are all anx-
ious to purchase or lease land.
After looking into the matter of
available land for practical men like
the late arrivals, the writer finds that
our large estates go on the policy of
uOJ SellluS lue IdHuS anu only lease
these for short period, ten years, we
understand. This is a great drawback
to the small farmers. We find that
the agricultural land, on Oahu parti-
cuIarly, is in the hands of these large
estates and other large and compare
lively few land owners. The produc-
tive land is overstocked with an in
ferior breed of horses and cattle
These large estates and individual
holdings should be taxed to their full |
value or, according to their produc-
tiVeness. 1t would then result that
the burden of taxation would fall on
the monopoly and make it absolutely |
necessary for the land to be used in |
such a manner as to make it yield the |
amount of the taxes or to improve and |
lease it in order that the owners might |
be saved from loss. A golden harvest |
is now made by keeping the land in
idleness.
There is a single tax system in New
that makes land monopoly |
This law we are not |
familiar with but perhaps the Attor-
can throw some light on |
the subject. ALLEN HERBERT.

How She Grew Fat and Tooth
some on Uncle Sans Corn.
There was once a goose that dwelt
on little island in the middle of a
smooth pond, on one side of which
lived thrifty old farmer, known
among the neighbors as Uncle Sam"
On the opposite bank of the pond
was the kennel of bright and ener-
getic Japanese pug. an
Now, when the goose was still gos.
ling Uncle Sam gave no attention to
her. But, when he found that he need-
ed more eggs than his own fowls could
produce, he bethought himself Of this
lonely goose, and sent corn over to
her, saying to himself: ''Pll get back
my pay in eggs, anyway, and if 1 want
her on my roost, after she gets fat,
well and good"
The young goose enjoyed this i'm
mensely, stopped padding for living,
and did nothing but grow fat on Uncle
Sans corn and lay eggs.
So fat grew this goose on Uncle
Sans corn that she attracted the at
tention of the wide-awake pug, who
had a goose-tooth, as pugs would say.
and was good judge of eggs. IF |
can once get this fat goose to make
an agreement with me that each of us
may visit the other and have equal
rights to eat anything in sight, I'm all
right" thought the pug, as he swan
over to the goose, and, landing, shifted
the goose politely in token of respect.
The goose was much fiattered at the
attentions Of the pug, and visions Of

Some Pointed Notes on the
Land Question About
Taxes.

The Bulletin of the Bureau of Agri-
culture for this week contains some
points on the coffee industry and shows
among other things, what interest is
being taken in the United States in the
new field:
The following letters are fair sam
pies of the numerous ones received by
the Bureau of Agriculture:
New York, October Z, 1897.
Commissioner of Agriculture, Hawai-
ian Islands,
Dear sir:-You would confer favor
on me if you would send transcript of
the estimate of cost (page 80 of your
pamphlet on the coffee industry of the
Hawaiian Islands) accompanied by a
personal letter from yourself, vouch-
ing for the accuracy and authenticity
of your estimate.
1t is probable that l shall be able
to interest capital sufficient to estab-
lish plantation of some size, and
such a transcript and letter would add
greatly to the strength of such pre-
sentation of the advantages of the in
vestment as ] shall be able to make.
A prompt reply would greatly OBJ
lige, yours very respectfully,
NJ. w. POOL.
1t is to be regretted that no origin
al, practical or able article has been
written or published in the numerous
pamphlets about coffee culture here
except the worthy article on page 32
hreferred to in the above letter; nor
Nave proper analyses of the fertile soil
been made or published, except one
written by that able chemist and
lscientist, Mr.. Averdam, Director of Pa
cific Fertilizer Works at ~Kalihi.
Most of the coffee items as published
have been taken from Ceylon, or Qua
! temala reports. The conditions and
circumstances there are such that we
cannot be absolutely guided by the re-
suits obtained in those places.
1t is hoped the day is not far distant
when Hawaii will be able to give to
her coffee and other agricultural enter
prises such scientific help as is neces-
sary to successfully conduct such in
dustries.
Following is another letter written
from the States and inquiring into the
coffee industry:
