this vault. The gallery, chambers and
corridors are paved with large flags
and built of well-cut stone. The body
Of the monument is solid and consists
of rough stone and tufa blocks, irregu-
larry placed and joined by mortar OF
red or yellow earth. 1t was found that
the monument had been entered once,
or perhaps several times, for the pur-
pose OF pillage. The stone doors Were
broken, and whatever objects it con-
tanned were carried off long ago.

Cost of Meat and Butter.

The same feed which is required for
producing one pound Of butter will
make two pounds OF gain on the steer.
Tie Minnesota station found that 100
pounds of grain mixture with an equal
amount Of hay and roots fed 10 four
steers produced 24.19 pounds OF gain
and an equal amount OF the same
food fed 10 four cows produces 1204
pounds OF butter. The type is not Of
so much significance with the steer as
with the dairy COW. for the reason
that steer not OF good type may be
n large feeder and a good digester and
convert all the food taken over his
own maintenance into gain. while a
cow not of the dairy type has the al.
ternatlve OF converting foor either into
milk or gain, and she may choose the
latter when the owner wants only the
former.

TIE LAND QUESTION

Editor Advertiser: No one can feel
more strongly than I do the Leneft which
country derives from large number of
small landhodtrs. They are likely to
be conservative in political matters The
strength of France has repeatedly been
shown to be In It's smaller rather than
III its large prOprieturs. The weakness
Of England is thought by many to be
IN its small number of great landed pro-
prctOrs. And so the nsCcna'bia ara

mcnt TO the Organic Act OF the rerri-
tory of Hawaii, limiting to l,UJ) acres
the holdings of joint stock companies,
meets my hearty approval ] was born
and bred among just such people. the
Independent New England farmers. as L
would Ike to see more of in Hawai-.
But the difficulty with the NcwIands
amendment is that it viii not ana can
not accomplish its avowed object. 1T
is so word"G, to begin with, as TO leay1
in the minds of some persons douOt
whether the words acquire and hold real
estate" mean, as they popularity do, pos.
sessing land, by whatever tenure, and
regardless Of the technical meaning VIII ch
refers to the quality of the estate, and
not to the land itself. a like doubt
may possibly exist as to whether the
law means to exclude existing corpora
lions which have as much as loo acres
from acquiring any more, or refers Only
to new corporations Again, old charters
granted under the law, as 1t sto ii he
fore the Act authorizing associations to
be formed by articles of association,
usually contained no reserved power in
the Government to alter or amend the
charter, and in such cases no limit can
probably be placed on the unlimited
power of acquiring land which such
charters gave. This places some cor
porations greatly and unfairly at an adj
vantage over others.
Furthermore, most of the agricultural
corporations already have more than the
limit. Why should they and not new
corporations have ike advantage?
Then there is the fact that large areas
OF land in Hawaii, in certain localities,
cannot be used for any purpose in
small lots. The need of expensive ma
Chnery for obtaining water for irrlga-
ton explains this fact.
The ease with which the law can be
practically evaded shows its futility.
What advantage to small landholders is
there in several 1,O0O-aCre corporations
over one of ialEe holdings?
The hope which l entertain is that
large corporations will see their way,
after time, to allotting small pieces of
land to settlers and cuitivators.
The distribution of shares of corpora
lions among "A large numuer of people
is an indirect way of securing n perma-
nent interest in the great agricultural
enterprises OF Hawaii, and as it is evil
dent that small plantations cannot be
made to pay the more that people Of
moderate means own in paying, sound,
not oyer-CapitaliZed concerns, the better.
