NEVER DRINK WATER.
Horses ana Cattle Thet Stake Their
Thirst en- a Peculiar GrSss.


The provertial horse which can &c
lea 10 water, but which cannot be
made TO drink, exists in great nun'
bers in the Hawaiian islands Among
the cattle ne has thousands OF cousins
OF the same proclivities.
II is. a surprising statement to make,
and yet one that is literally true, and
so commonplace that no one there
thinks anything about II, 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 alti-
tudes of the mountains are given up
TO cattle ranges. The cattle run
wild from the time they are born I'M
til they are rounded up to be sent to
the slaughterhouse. Except during pos
sibly two or three months OF the rainy
season, there are no streams OF pools
OF water in any part where the cattle
range.
But everywhere there grows a re-
cumbent, jointed grass, known by the
native name of MAMMA. This Is both
food and drink. Horses and cattle
grazing on It neither require water,
nor VIII they drink It when offered.
Our first experience with this fact
was on trip TO Haleakala. A party
was mounted on horses which has just
been brought In from the range. The
Journey they made was fourteen miles.
in which distance they assembled about
5000 feet
The party started In the afternoon,
and about sunset halted for supper.
They thought it strange that the
horses should leave a feed of grain to
nibble the scanty grass which grew
/ near by, but We're willing to trust
their instinct in the matter. ttt
However, before starting they IN.
sisted that they be given water. The
native guide demurred in this, saying
they didn't need 1t, but with the good
natured complaisance of his race
yielded to requests, and led a detouI
of about a mile, which brought the
party to a ranch house where there
was a we'll But, to the utter amaze
ment and stupefaction OF the travellers
the horses would not drink.
They took ii as another case OF In
stinct, and assumed that the water
for some reason. was not good, and sc
refrained from drinking It themselves
Il was not until the return the SECOND
day. to Kawaapae. that the travellers
learned the secret of the wonderful
MAMMA grass,-Cincinnati Enquirer.
