Horses That Do Not Drink.

(Ionolulu Letter in the Chicago Record.)
The proverbial horse who can be led to
water but who cannot be made TO drink ex-
lists in great numbers in the Hawaiian ISL
ands Among cattle he has thousands of
cousins Of the same proclivities. II is
surprising statement to make. and yei one
that is literally true and SO commonplace
that no one here thinks anything about it,
that there are hundreds of horses and
thousands of cattle which never take a
drink OF water throughout the who,e course
of their lives
On all the islands the upper attitudes of
the mountains are given up TO cattle
ranges The cattle run wild from the time
they are born until they are rounded up to
be sent to the slaughterhouse. Except
during possibly two or three months of the
rainy season there are no streams or pools
of water anywhere that the cattle range.
But everywhere there grows recumbent.
jointed grass, known by the name Of ma
ninia. This is both food and drink. Horses
and cattle grazing at will on it neither re-
quire water nor will drink il when offered.
NY first experience with this fact was on
a trip to Haleakala. Our party were
mounted on horses which had just been
brought in from the range. The trip We
had to make was fourteen miles. in which
distance we ascended about nine thousand
feet We started late in the afternoon. and
about sundown We halted for supper. |
thought it strange that the horses should
leave feed Of grain to nibble the scanty
grass which grew where We were, but
was willing to trust their instinct in that
matter. But before starting insisted that
they be given water. Our native guide de-
INJURED to this, saying they didn't need it,
but with the good-natured compliance of
his race yielded to my insistence. and led
a detour of about mile, which brought
us to a ranch house where there was a
we'll But to my utter amazement and
stupefaction the horses would not drink.
took it as another case Of instinct. and as
sumed that the water for some reason was
not good. and so refrained from drinking
myself 1t was not until our return, the
second day afterward. to Kawaapae, that
l learned from Mrs Bailey, our hostess. the
secret of the wonderful MAMMA grass.
