Tempting Trophies.

There are on exhibition at the
Criterion two beautiful silver cups
which will become the property Of
the owners OF the fastest horses in
two races on the Kapiolani track.
One is inscribed, Criterion Cup, by
G. j. McC C,rthy, for the winner in
the a mile running race frse for all
even Republicans. The other is
presented by Colonel Mccarthy on
behalf OF the Seattle Brewing and
Mailing Company which furnishes
the town with the celebrated Rainier
beer. This cup is for the winner in
a harness race and will probably not
be set up for competition this year
as there is no prospect OF any very
interesting trotting or pacing event.
The cups are designed in a very
artistic manner and their capacity
seems ample. 1t was, suggested to
the colonel TO make test OF tie

but the gallant soldier shook his
head, looked fondly at six cases of
champagne just arrived and with
Democratic wink said "nit." Hence
we are only able to speak of the
beauty OF the outside of the cups.

MoLAssEs FOR MULEs.

We learn something every day we
live and while sceptical at first we
soon find that the world is PROCESS.
ing in a most wonderful manner.
Who would ever have thought of
feeding mules on molasses, except
our local republicans who are trying
by sweet words to get the stubborn
Hawaiians into the fold of the party
which represents the absentee sugar
barons and the bloated bond hold.
ers. And yet we have before us an
article from the Louisiana Planter,
which we publish to-day and in
which is shown how to bribe mules
with molaases. The mules get fat
on the sticky stuff, and 80 have To-
cal politicians done on the filthy
lucre, tho sweet promises and the
ill-smelling stuff which has been
poured out to them by the Thurston
gang. The. experiment is excellent
and should be encouraged as far as
four legged mules are concerned.
The article reads:
The very short cane crop of 1899
is now developing an active demand
for low grade molasses. The low
prices at which molssses sold in this
country for number of years, and
the fact that considerable quanti-
ties OF it were thrown away for lack
OF market, attracted to this market
the attention OF the live stock feed
ers Of England, and immense guam
titles of molasses have recently been
sent abroad for horse and cattle
feed, our own people seeming to be
comparatively ignorant of the great
food value OF this by-product of our
sugar plant atious.
The matter has been exhaustiveIy
discussed by The Sugar Planters AS
sociation recently and it may be ac.
cepted as fact that n1olasses is just
as good horse and mule and cattle
feed in Louisiana as in England,
and it were far better TO feed it here
on the plantations to our horses,
mules and cattle, saving the cost of
shipment to the city, OF barrels and
re-shipment to Europe.
AS molasses is a liquid food it
took long while for many of our
planters to get ready to use it. 1t
was found that ths best way to give
molasses to livestock was to give
them free supply of it, always ac-
cessible and they would then gauge
the quantity to be eaten by their
own inclination and no harmful re
suits followed, whereas the animals
fatten and become sleek and glossy
in appearance, aud the general ef-
fects are very satisfactory. AS this
season there will be less than one.
half the normal supply OF low grade
molasses, there will be very little
offered for sale, unless our sugar
planters should fud prices so high
as to justify them in selling what
they have and buying grain foods
to take the place of it. We think
that even this, if it were done,
should be done with great care, as
molasses is far better stock food |
than most people appreciate, aud it's
use by our working animals to the
extent of five or ten pounds per day
per animal can hardly be- replaced
in excellent results by any other
food, excepting oats.
