LETTERS FROM The PEOPLE

Editor Eevening Bulletin:-In sever
ing my Connection (by reason of i'm
paired healthy with the Kalihi Deten-
ton Camp Hospital I desire, through
the columns of your valuable journal,
to bear witness to the courteous con-
sideration shown by Superintendent
McVeigh, and his efficient staff Of as
sistants, to the employees of the Medi-
cal Department on duty at that place.
The prompitude with which every arti-
Gle required for the comfort Of the
patients-Asiatic, native and white
under DR.. Towards care was supplied,
was only equalled by the generosity Of
the Board Of Health in honoring the
demands. Having served in the Medi-
cal Department of the U. s. Army,
have no hesitation in asserting, from
personal knowledge, that the comforts,
medical attendance and treatment ac-
corded the inmates Of the Kalihi de-
tention camp hospi,.. by the Board Of
Health authorities was immeasurably
superior to that received by the gal
liant sons Of the first families Of the
richest country in the world in Cuba
and Manila. Notwithstanding the
pressing duties of DR.. Howard in this
vast camp, the hospital was visited
by him three and four times daily.
The efficient work of Mrs. Polecki In
the maternity ward and Mr.. Orb WEIGH,
male nurse, in the typhoid and pneu-
monia wards deserves the highest
praise. To use the words of one of
the guards, who had been an old SOL

Mark Twain was never much of a
politician. Indeed, what he doesn't
know about politics would make very
large library. On one occasion, how
ever, the humorist took part in cam
paign SO far as to make little speech.
1t was in 1880, and Mr.. Clemens, who
was visiting friend ut Elmira, N. Y,
was called on to introduce Gen. Hawley
to a Republican meeting. In the course
of his remarks Mr.. Clemens said:
"Gen. Hawley Is member of my
church in Hartford, and the author of
Beautiful Snow Maybe he will deny
that, but am only here to give him a
character from his last place. AS a
pure citizen respect him, as per-
sonal friend Of years have the warm
est regard for him, as neighbor whose
vegetable garden adjoins mine, why
why, watch him. AS the author of

he occupies mighty lonesome position
So broad, SO bountiful is his character
that he never turned tramp empty.

Facts About the al o.
Twenty years experience in the use
of the silo has brought outesome facts
about which all are agreed.
First-That q larger amount Of
healthful cattle food can be preserved
In the silo in hetter condition, at less
expense of labor and land, than by any
other method known.
Second-That silage comes nearer be.
ing perfect substitute for the succu.
lent food of the pasture than any other
food that can be had in the winter.
Third-Thirty pou..ds a day is enough
silage for an average-sized Jersey COW.
Larger cattle will eat more.
Fourth-A cubic foot of silage from
the middle of medium-sized silo will
average about ferty-five pounds.
Fifth-For 1872 days. or half year,
an average Jersey COW will require
about six tons Of silage, allowing for I'm.
avoidable waste.
Sixth-The circular silo, made of good
hardwood slaves, is cheapest and best.
Seventh-Fiftee feet in diameter and
thirty feet good depth. Such a silo wi
hold about two hundred tons Of silage.
cut in half-inch lengths.
Eighth-Corn Just passing ont OF
roasting ear stage is the best single ma,
terial for silage. Corn and COW peas
are the best combined materials in COW
pea regions.
Nlnth-silage is as valuable in sum
mer as in winter.
Tenth-The silo has come to be as
necessary part of a dairy farm plant
as corn crib or hay mow.-JerseJ

The Cost of Makinp Butter.

The creamery conducted on the right
principles is one of the best friends of
the farmer, and II 1t can be started it
should receive the intelligent support
Of those who raise the milk and cream
for 1t. Too often there is an antagon
ism between the creamery owners and
the farmers, and the latter, to show
that they have the power to close the
creamery, may very easily destroy a
profitable industry in the vicinity. 1t
certainly pays farmers better to raise
their milk and cream for the creamery
than for most of the city markets. In.
these latter places the price for milk is
often so ridiculously small that dairy
ing does not pay. The remedy often is
for more farmers to encourage the cree
ton of creameries In parts Of the
West and East where creameries have
been established farmers get more re-
turns from their farms, and are better
contented, than in dairying regions
where the milk is all shipped to cities.
The cost of making pound of butter
has been steadily decreased by means
Of the improved creamery, and 1t is pos
sible for creameries to make and sell
butter at a profit when farmers cannot.
Country butter does not sell well In the
large markets. Creamery seems to have
q charmed name for consumers, and
they demand this every time. Country
butter to-day is drug in many mar
kets-as low as 8 and 10 cents per
pound. The farmer making his butter
cannot make living at any such prices.
The day of the country butter has gone,
and the farmers of any dairyigg region
should recognize this and not waste
their time in making IT. The milk
should either be raised for a creamery,
or the farmers should join together and
run their own creamery. AS rule, the
man who will put up the creamery and
sup 1T himself will do better than an

The question has been raised as to
girls Of 20 ought to he allowed

The question has been raised as to
whether girls Of 20 ought to be allowed
to choose their own reading, and
whether there are not pitfalls in libra
ries for those who are permitted to
browse about at will. Like other prob.
lens Of this kind, one is compelled to
admit that 1t all depends upon the girl.
and If the girl is like most girls of 20
It will not much matter what one saws:
she will have her way. The difficulty
about putting only the best books in a
girls way is like that of insisting upon
a certain kind Of porridge; 1t may re-
suit In distaste for books of any kind.
There are times in girls life when
she prefers pickles to the most whole
some article of diet, and when she en-.
joys the clandestine consumption of
chocolate creams more than the most
nourishing of family feasts. There is
the pickle and chocolate stage in novel
reading, and a time when the flaming
bit Of fiction under the pillow is worth
a dozen Of the standard novels on the
library shelves. But girl who escapes
for time from prosaic world into an
imaginary kingdom of perpetual love-
makings, peopled by feverish scraps of
femininity, comes ut last to detect and
be repealed by the unnaturalness aud
absurdites. In time she will come to
have a natural hunger for the normal
and the true, just as she gets over her
abnormal cravings for pickles and
chocolates.

Location of Poultry Houses.

Journal, says, II possible, locate poul.j
try houses on high, dry ground. Select
an elevated site, protected by trees on
the north and west. II the yards in
front are exposed too much to the sun,
plant trees. If you are afraid the fowls
will destroy them by scratching about
the roots, place stone about the trees,
or make board frame, which can be
cheaply and easily made from any old
lumber. This will also act as mulch
and keep the ground cool and moist.
Trees and fowls are good friends and

duced TO insure her life and transfer the
policy to her betrothed husband. Then
she dies under peculiarly suspicious
circumstances that point to the bene-
ficiary under the policy transfer, and
the insurance companies resist pay
ment upon the assumption that she has
been murdered in order to defraud
them. The lover and practicing ply
sician is placed under arrest. 1t is then
shown that there was conspiracy
formed by three or four more, two of
whom We're detectives, of whom one is
in custody. Then, as was to be ex-
pected, the whole case was revealed,
and the detective, to save his miserable
life, "squealed." From what has been
revealed the crime was heartless and
deliberate beyond credence. The girl
was made the object of special atten-
ton before she was led to engage her
self to the man chosen to fill the role Of
lover. He deliberately won her heart
and confidence, and 1t was therefore no
mere opportunity that led the rascals
to commit their Infamous deed. They
planned the crime first, and then went
out to seek a victim and found her in
an innocent and respectable young
woman, whose life was sacrificed in
cold blood and for the most sordid pur-
poses.

markable. Not only have the larger
cities experienced a change for the bet

wonderful increase in manufacturing

association Of farmers where too many
heads are apt to cause disputes and
chickering's. Milk sent to the creamery
pays all the way from 10 to % cents a
pound, and at this price the farmer is
making far more than by making his
own butter. This comparatively high
price is made possible because of the
better prices received for creamery, and
for the low cost of manufacturing 1t.
This latter varies because the size Of
the creamerles vary. The larger the
creamery the cheaper the butter can be
made, and this varies all the way from

extremes, however, are exceptions, and
somewhere between them the actual

A man was arrested the other day for

A man was arrested the other day for
deserving his wife. Now, this thing of
marrying woman and then running
away from her is bad. 1t ought to be
generally discouraged. Still, there
would seem to be exceptions even in
matters of this kind. The man in the
case appears to have had provocation.
"She went to an astrologer," he explain
ed to the magistrate, land the astrolo-
ger told her she was going to be mar
ried twice. Being her first, decided
that it was up to me either to die or
quit, and not wanting to die thought
I'd quit" We can't blame this poor
man for wanting to get out of his pre-
dicament in the easiest way he could
think of. There was the word Of the
astrologer, for which the woman had
paid 50 out of her husbands earnings.
Was 1t for the latter to remain and take
his chances? Obviously he could not do
so without showing contempt for life
or exhibiting disbelief in that which
was perhaps solace and comfort to
his wife There was logic in his deci-
sion to take himself out Of the way and
give the other fellow chance, but the
woman, being determined that he
should escape none of the hardships
that fate had mapped out for him, went
to the police and had the man arrested.
Then Justice, with no idea of the fit
ness of things, ordered the husband to
go back to his wife and support her,
and there was nothing left for him to
do but obey. 1t is such cases as this
that cause pessimism to spread in the
world. The woman has her next hus-
band to look forward to, but what hope
can there be for the man? What incen-
tive can he have to go ahead and accu-
mulate wealth, knowing that the astrol-
oyer or the second husband will get
what is left out of the household ex-
penses? In some respects it is still sad
old world.
