THE BEST TIME TO CHOOSE A
DAIRY COW.
G.. H. Clark.

The best time to judge a dairy COW
is when she is giving her greatest flow
of milk. This time will suit our pur-
poses very well for the cow will not
then be pregnant by an undesirable
sire, and will have her next calf from
the sire selected for the purpose OF
improving the dairy qualities. Some
of the objections to choosing the COW
at this time of life are that the sue
ceeding offspring may be Influenced in
an undesirable direction by the prev
ious impregnation, and the previous
care. feed and milking of the COW may
not have been such as to develop her
dairy qualities to the best advantage.
Since it is known that acquired habits
and conditions of life are often trans
mitted to later generations, the latter
objection affects not only the profits
from the milk of the dam, but may be
detrimental to the offspring. These
objections can be overcome only by
beginning with young heifers, and this
is equally Objectionable unless the an
cestry of the helfer is known, for it
is almost impossible to foretell dairy
quality in them. The fresh COWS can
at once be put to a vigorous test, and
any improbable ones disposed of at
the end of ten or twelve months, thus
saving time.

DON'T BE INTELLECTUALLY
CLOSE-FISTED.

Recently creameryman dropped
the remark that he did not care to eX-
plain the workings of the Babcock test
to his patrons for the reason that the
more the patrons learn the more they
kick A young man just graduated
from certain dairy school and en-
ployed as butter-maker in a large
creamery, was asked by his company
to assist as co-worker in learning the
buttermaker's trade. He did not re-
fuse, but he very reluctantly impaired
any information. A litIle later he
made. the remark that he would give
the information desired for $25 or $50.
These two illustrations describe the
kind of selfishness that exists among
those that ought to know better. Help
ing others enlarges a mans intellectu-
al vision. The questions answers and
discussion that will invariably arise,
under such circumstances. will bring
out new points to both parties; it will
bring forward new problems to be
solved at spare moments, and it will
produce a general good feeling that is
not to be compared to silver or gold.
1t will more than likely mean promo
ton.
This meeting together for mutual
benefit among the farmers and dairy
men is phase of agricultural life that
needs greater development. Much is
being done at the present time along
this line in the way of farmers insti-
tutes, grange meetings, farmers clubs,
&C. but even in this work we rub up
against men who say that they know
all there is to be known about farming.
They ridicule the idea of agricultural
papers, reports or colleges; they say
that they have no time for such trash
as this. What a pity that all men who
know it all' CD should be so selfish
that they are not willing to impart the
information to others who are in need.
The fact of the matter is, we need to
spend more time in farming with our
brains and possibly a little less time
with our muscle. Mr. Aaron Jones,
Master of the National Grange, made 4
remark during a series of grange insti-
tutes, that he was attending last July,
that if a young man starting out on
a farm who expected to work ten hours
a day would put in seven and half
hours posting himself and studying
the problems along agricultural lines, |
he had no question but what he would

WHAT CAN THE PATRON DO TO
INCREASE HIS PROFITS? =.
c.. f. Eldredge.

If you should ask this question OF the
creamery patrons, most of them would
answer, Milk more cows" But is this
the best answer to the question?
Would it. not pay the patron better to
keep a daily record of the pounds OF
milk from each cow along with rec
ord of the monthly test? By doing
mine which COWS were losing him mon
ey. He could then dispose of these
and replace them by COWS that would
come up to the desired standard.
The patron should choose some one
breed of cattle and stay by that choice.
He can build up his herd by using all
possible care in the breeding and the
feeding os his animals. There is al
ways room for improvement and 1t
should be his aim to make his herd as
nearly perfect as possible.
By watching his milk sheet he will
soon see that it does not pay to have
his cattle standing out in the rain and
snow. He will build warmer barns and
take better care of his cattle in every
way. At this point he can easily be
persuaded to introduce into his system
a tank heater and other improvements
and try a balanced ration for his fine
young heifers. BY doing this he Will
learn that by proper feeding, milk will
be produced in much larger quantities
and far better quality than under his
old method of feeding. This method
need not necessarily cost more than the
other, but even if it does, the increase
in the milk supply will more than
make up for the increase in the cost OF
feed For example: A mans COW
produced 200 pounds of butter-fat at 70
cents per pound. The feed costs $12.
This leaves $28. He feeds and cares
for his COWS in the way that dairy
COWS should be fed and cared for; they
produce 400 pounds of butter-fat,
bringing in $50 The feed has cost
$35. Subtracting the cost of the feed
from the value of the butter-fat he has
lett $45, making an increase of SIT.
The care of the milk is another item
of great Importance. The higher the |
quality of the milk, the higher will be

For the humanity of parents let II be
said also that the police records show
the percentage of foundlings increases
in summer and decreases as regularly
with the oncoming Of winter. 1t is an
other interesting fact that hard times
mean more fouudlings, and this may
be taken as corrouoratiGn of the the
DRY of one Of the oldest and most hu-
name captains in the police depart
ment, who would never believe that
any infant was abandoned except Tor
the reason that there were already too
many mouths in the house to feed
This particular police captain would
look at the founding when the patrol
man brought it in from his post, grunt
and then say: Get it to the hospital
quick They can afford to feed ii
there There's too many mouths in the
house where that came from-God for
give EN-" But in this charitable view
the old police captain is not supported
by many of his fellows Ainslee's.

YEARLY plodding through a pile Of
compositions brought from school for

Ranks and Conditions OF
People i'm Summer
A Prominent and Popular Chicago
Lady Restored 10 Health

The success of Paine's Celery
Compound in banishing the Ills and
diseases that follow people into the
summer time, has not been confined
to any particular class of society.
Men esteemed in business and pro-
fessional life, mechanics, farmers,
women leaders in society, and the
wives and mothers of humble homes,
have all by voice and pen, contribut-
ed strong testimony in favor of the
medicine that restored them to
health and strength.
When Paine's Celery Compound
is used there is no more neuralgia,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, stomach
arrangements, liver or kidney
troubles. The blood once foul and
stagnant, is made fresh and pure,
aud courses with a regularity that
brings vigor and happiness. The

NEARING SUNSET.

That Robert Wilcox is seriously
alarmed for his chances at the coming
election is very certain. He has main
tanned an equable exterior, and has
pretended that he feels safe, but that
is not the way that he talks when con-
sulting with leading Republicans and
Democrats whom he hopes to persuade
into joining him in an attack upon
Prince Cupid and the Independent Ha-
waiian party. He does not get much
comfort out of his conferences, and his
heart sinks lower and lower as his
promises become larger and larger
The Delegates sun is setting not in the
glory of the brilliant colors of the west,
but is sinking into a bank of clouds
upon which can be read the gloomy
word Failure"
Prince Cupid leads the progressive
and better educated Hawaiians. lie
sees the mistakes which have been
made He is as much averse to a re-
petition of such a legislature as we
had in 1901, as anyone in the Territory
can be. II q desires TO educate his Eel
low counTymen to higher plane Of
politics than they have yet graspeG.
As a leader he cannot be charged with
seeking his own personal aggrandise-
ment, and he certainly, being a large
property holder, is anxious about the
prosperity Of the Territory, which
means his own prosperity and that of
his family ..r ...
1t has been quite plain to the think
ing men of the Home Rulers, that the
policy Of Wilcox and his blinded fol-
lowers was suicidal in it's ultimate
outcome. In a small community, such
as this is, it is absolute folly to be
split up by faction as has been the
case. The vocabulary of rancour and
vindictiveness with which Wilcox be-
gan his campaign was not likely to
bring matters to better basis. Hence
came the determination to limit the
Delegates power, and to clip the wings
of such men as Kalauokalani and 9TH
ers, who saw no good in compromise,
no good in coming to an understanding
with others for the general good OF all.
Wilcox through his own obstinacy,
actually split his own party. He ut
terly miscalculated his strength. and

with the assurance Of success. He has
destroyed or alienated his strongest
backing. The young voters who are

TIE COMING FAIR.

The Merchants Fair, and the ar
engagements now being made for the
exhibit at st, Louis, show what can
be done when the people Of the Terri
tory undertake to attend to such mat
tiers themselves. The Merchants Fair
will serve as a sort of guide to what
can be done in st. Louis. 1 will be
once again an object lesson which can
be taken to heart. Though it may be
more successful than such fairs have
been in the past, and may be upon a
more extended scale, it must be re-
membered that similar fairs have been
held, but from some cause or other
they have fallen out of use. 1t is to
be hoped that the present fair will
inaugurate yearly series of fairs
which will last till the present city of
Honolulu becomes most thoroughly
metropolitan, and its rows of houses
extend back to the upper hills, behind
the present town, and there is con-
tinuous road with house-lots from
waialae to Eva.
The local fairs on the mainland are
a great feature and are attended from
far and wide. People, especially the
farming class of the community, get
an opportunity of seeing what others
are able to do, and comparison can
be made to agricultural products The
present fair is likely to be largely at
tended as it will something of a novel
ty. That there will be fine display
of fruit and vegetables is certain. The
cultivation of these articles is carried
on much more Systematically, and un-
der better auspices than ever before.
The number of small farmers is very
past, and many of them have expert
mented with choicer varieties.
The colony at Wahiawa has had
distinct influence in this direction.
They have not only done good them
selves, but they have done good to
others, who have been stimulated by
their example. The experiment station
which has been established since an
nexation has also had an influence,
and in course of time win have a
very large influence. 1t takes some
time for an institution of this sort to
become a center of information, but in
time it does become the center, and
those in charge are constantly con-
suited.
The fair also gives the merchants an
excellent opportunity for showing their
agricultural implements and serves as
the best of advertising mediums, while
there will be a general gala air over
the whole affair that will make "a
pleasant break in the years work. Ho-
nolulu should not be the only place
where such fairs are held. 1t may be
good to make a beginning here, but
each of the large islands should organ
ize exhibits upon similar lines, and
they will find them most stimulating
and most satisfactory 1t is decidedly
a step n advance in minor indus tries,

We have had drinking trOughs for

Pauoa Road and Nuuanu. There was
very pretty fountain on the OLD
