HORSES THAT DO NOT DRINK.

HORSES THAT DO NOT DRINK.
NIonolulu Letter in The Chicago
Record.)
The proverbial horse who can be led
TO water but who cannot be made to
drink exists in great numbers in the
Hawaiian Islands. Among cattle he
has thousands of cousins of the same
proclivities. It is q surprising state
ment to make, and yet one that is lit
orally 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 whole
course of their lives.
On all the islands the upper attitudes
Of the mountains are given up to cat
tie ranges. The cattle run wild from
the time they are horn until they are
rounded up to be sent to the slaughter
house. Except during possibly two or
three months Of the rainy season there
ARE no streams OF pools of water any
where that the cattle range. But
everywhere there grows a recumbent,
jointed grass, known by the name of
MAMMA. This is both food and drink.
Horses and cattle grazing at will ON it
neither require water nor will drink it
when offered
Ny first experience with this fact was
on trip TO Haieakala 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 assembled about nine
thousand feet. We started late in the
afternoon, and about shutdown we
halted for supper. thought it strange
that the horses should leave a feed of
grain to nibble the scanty grass which
grew where We were, but 1 was willing
to trust their instinct in the matter.
But before starting 1 insisted that they
be given water. Our native guide de-
INJURED to this, saying they didn't need
1t, but with the good-natured compIi-
ance Of his race yielded to nv insist
ence, and led a detour of about a mile.
which brought Us to a ranch house
where there was well. But TO my
utter amazement and stupeffcation the
horses would not drink. 1 took it as
another case OF instinct, and assumed
that the water for some reason was not
good, and so refrained from drinking
myself. 1t was not until oar return,
the second day afterward, to Kawaa-
pae, that 1 learned from Mrs. Bailey,
our hostess, the secret of the wonder
full MAMMA grass.

But he said the farm was hateful an he

But Bill he promised faithful to be keer-
full, an allowed
He'd build reputation that'd make us

But it seems a. how my counsel sort O.
faded from his mind,
An now he's got in trouble Of the very
wustest kind!
His letters come 20 seldom that l some

That Billy was a tranpin' on = mighty

But never once imagined he would bow

STILL THEY COMB.

Word has been receiv,d from A. 8.
Yetter, who was sent from this city by
the Business Mems Sugar beet assosia-
tion that, he has been successful in en-
listing at lesst twelve families to come
to this city to plant sugar boots.
Before they would positively consent
to como to this valley they desided that
they would like 10 have several Of their
number come to this city and look over
the valley. Aocordingly tickets wsrs
provided for two OF their number and
they arrived in this city several days
ago and have been looking at the lands
offered by the association.
The names Of the young gentlemen
who have bsen sent ~ the represents
tives OF the Germen colony are Jacob
Wiederspan and John Lauek.
These young gentlemen were in
terviewed by Sentinel reporter last
night and they gave evidence that they
were much pleased with the outlook
here for their people.
The twelve families, IL all arrange
ments are satisfactory will raise four
hundred and twenty acres Of beets. This
materially lessons the amount guaran-
tsed by the business men OF the city. al
though they will have to work hard to
mako up the balance.
Itmay be possible that late news
from Mr., Yetter will cut the total down
considerably. He will visit German
colonies in Kansas and Nebraska and
will endeavor to induce the people to
come hero to raise beets.
