icopa Indians. at San Carlos on the

cut led the opposition and was assist
ed by Senator Quarles of Wisconsin
Senators Stewart, Chandler and Thurs
ton argued for the experir ent. Sen
ator Plat opposed the al "opriation
of 100000 for an Investigation and
survey of The proposed irrigation
dam. The amendment, he said. was
framed in reality to commit the gov
eminent to a policy of national irri
cation. He said all the irrigation
needed for the Indians could be Sc
cured for 100000, but that the irriga
ton advocates favored this scheme
because it would foist the burden of
irrigation of arid lands inevitably up
on the government Senator Quarles
discussed the general irrigation propo
sition, indorsing it, bb deploring what
he called the guerilla tactics which
attempted to secure legislation upon
appropriation bills rather than by
bringing forward a bill contemplating
whole scheme of watering arid re-
gions. He said what he opposed was
the method. not the scheme. Sena.
tor Thurston, chairman of the Indian
commission. resented the imputation
that the committee was moving by
lndirectiOn or endeavoring to secure
by unfair means any advantage to
irrigation advocates. HI protested it
was always the objection when small
appropriation was asked for the west.
while western men We're ready to vote
for Atlantic coast improvements. The
senate adjourned with the irrigation
amendment still pending.

1t is now time for dairy farmers to
give serious thoughts to the matter Of
growing some feed crops the comiAg
season. By planting variety of crops,
green feed can be obtained during the
dry part Of the sumner No one crop
or feed should be depended upon and
where variety of crops Is grown the
feed will cost comparatively little. The
profits Of dairying depend mostly upon
the cost of the feed and the first aim Of
every dairyman should be to produce
his own forage at the least cost. Alfal-
"a, sorghum, COW peas or hairy vetch
are among the hest soiling crops and a
good range Is Of course essential to sue
cess. Speltz or harley can be grown
for winter grain and these with alfalfh

pheasant. Both are noble birds The
former was introduced here in 1868,
when a steamer brought dozen from
New Zealand The birds throve well,
and are now fairly plentiful. They
nest on the ground and on this account
their numbers are kept down by the
depredations of the mongoose. The
bird is very swift on the wing and pro-
vides excellent sport
The Japanese blue pheasant is a
comparatively recent importation, ar
irving here about six years ago 1t
differs from the other species in that
it will alight in a tree when disturbed.
On the Islands of Kauai and Molokai
the California quail is found in guam
titles. 1t grows very fat at certain
seasons, and becomes almost too lazy
to get out of the way of a horse On
Molokai the royal or mountain quail is
also fairly abundant. 1t is minia-
ture pheasant in appearance
In the mountains near Eva and
In the gulches the turkey finds count
less guavas and ohelos on which it
loves to feed. and frequently attains a
weight of twenty pounds. Turkeys are
also found on the other Islands.
On the mountain slopes wild pea
cocks and guinea hens are occasionally
met with. These birds have undoubt-
eddy descended from domesticated
stock which had escaped from captiv-
ity.
Beside the aforementioned birds. the
migratory birds fill an important place
in Hawaffs game list. They include
piover. curfew. akeheke, ulili, spoon
BILL widgeon and sprig. These birds go
north in May and return here with
their young in August
The only deer in Hawaii are found
on Molokai, where they have increased
so rapidly as to be menace to vege-
tation. Over forty years ago a pair
were released at Kahuku. and a small
herd was turned loose on Molokai:
pair were also sent to Hawaii. The
deer on Oahu and Hawaii did not per-
petuate their species. but those on
Molokai proved so fruitful that three
years ago two hunters employed by
the Republic of Hawaii killed over
1000 in a few months
Other large game of the Islands con-
sists of wild cattle and pigs.
Hawaii possesses two indigenous
birds. the Hawaiian goose and the Ha-
waiian teal duck Base of Mauna Loa
ON Hawaii is the habitat of the for
mer. There is but one left today,
where there used to be a hundred. 1t
lays its eggs on the ground; the mon
goose does the rest.
The teal is a fresh water feeder, and
similar in appearance to its American
cousin. It stays in the gulches in the
day time and goes at night to the
taro and rice patches to feed. This
bird is considered prize by gunners,
and is getting rarer year by year.
