In speaking of our newly acquired
territory. the Hawaiian islands, the
Chicago Inter Ocean thus describes
them:
There are fifteen islands in the
Hawaiian group, having, all told, an
area of 1929 square miles and popu-
lation of about $4,000. The largest
island of the group, Hawaii, has an
area of 4,875 square miles and popu-
lation of II 900. The island next in
size is Maui. This has a POPULATION
of about 1900. The third island in
size is Oahu. This is about 40 miles
long by 20 miles broad and has popu-
lation of about 1000, including Hon
olulu, the capital. The fourth island,
Atauai or Kauai, has an area of 780
square miles and population of 4,961.
The next IN size is Molokai. This is
about 40 miles long and from to 9
miles broad and has population Of
2,349. Nihau, or Oneeow, is about IS
miles long and miles broad and has
a population 233 Ranal is 20 miles
long and 10 miles broad and has q
population of 349 Kahoolawe is II
miles long and 8 miles wide.
In addition to these eight islands,
which extend in line, covering dis
lance of about $50 miles, there is the
island of Palmyra, about 800 miles
south of the main group. This has an
area of about sixty square miles and
is claimed by the Hawaiian govern
ment. The islands have been prac-
tically occupied by the United States
as coaling station and a resting
point for vessels on the way to the
Philippines The government is self
supporting and there will be no special
burden to the United States as an in
cident of annexation.

fresh as at the time of milking. At the

Il
sure Satisfactory Results.
Most of the difficulties in growing val
liable COWS, where the breeding has
been what it should be, come from their
feeding. 1t is hard to say whether the
fattening or the starvation policy is
worse for the future of the COW. BY the
first she is made fit only for the butcher.
BY the second the animal is stunted and
its digestion impaired so that it is lit
tie good for any purpose. There should
be abundance of food, and good share
of this should be succulent, so as to
furnish nutrition in bulky form and
stimulate the glands that carry the
milk. All the large milk-producing
breeds of cows have originated in mild
and moist climates, where succulent
food can be had during most Of the
year. Ensilage is good food for heif-
ers, though if it be of corn fodder some
dry clover hay should be fed with it
to increase the material for growth.
Ii clover cannot be had. small ration
OF wheat bran mixed with the corn en-
silage will make better feed than en-
Stage alone.
We believe in breeding heifers early,
and at the same time feeding literally
Of food that will make growth rather
than fatten. If heifer drops her first
calf when she is year and a half old
she will always be better mixer than
if she were kept from breeding until
a year later. If the heifer is too small,
let there be a long time between the
first and second breeding. and in the
meantime feed more literally than ever,
rot with corn. Some oats may, how
ever, be given, if the milk production
is large enough to keep the heifer thin
in flesh, but the grain feeding should be
stopped when the heifer dries off as
she approaches her second parturition
Heifcrs thus managed will be about
as large as if they were kept until they
were past two years old before being
bred, and they will all their lives be
much better mixers. Cul-

It is not at all difficult to prepare

soft fondant by melting pound of
sugar in a quarter of cup of water,
boiling it until it is very soft, creamy

Let this fondant cool until you can
put your finger in it, and then stir
it with spoon until it is about the
consistency and tlexibility of lard.

but1ered platter until it is even and

and men often succeed better than
women in doing this part of the work,
as they do in many other culinary proc
esses where strength is required. Let
the fondant be favored with a little
vanilla when it is beaten up. Let it
stand for an hour or longer, and then
put the bowl or dish holding it into a
dish of hot wa ter and melt it out enough
to form it into little balls the proper
size for the interior Of chocolate
cream. Melt small cake of swee:
chocolate by putting it in a pan and
settling the pan in hot water until it is
melted. Dip the balls of soft fondant,
which should be somewhat hardened
by this time, into the melted chocolate
one by one, holding them on the point
of trusting needle or long hat pin.
Slip them one by one as soon as they
are dipped on a buttered paper or
paraiiine paper, if convenient, and let
them dry over night.-N. Y. Tribune.
