Less corn and greater portion of
protein feeds has striking tendency
to develop better breeding hogs. For
tunately the feeds that furnish the
protein can be raised on the majority
of the farms in the corn belt.
Don't mistake the effects of feeding
too much new corn for hog cholera.
Good authorities credit a good deal of
the trouble among hogs to the over
feeding of this product.
War is being made on the swill bar
rel as breeder of disease. 1t is a
notable fact that the leading pure
bred hog breeders have long since dis
cardedGhis so-called convenience.
More Uniform Than EngIand's.
The expert Judge who judged the
swine at the Central Canada exhibit
ton, according to the American Guilt
vator, said that Canadian breeders are
now developing more uniform type
of hog than are the British breeders.
The standard hog in Canada is now a
long, deep animal. In Great Britain
there seems to be no uniform type,
but each breeder has type of his
own, which is large or small as he
fancies and the prizez will be awarded
at the English exhibitions according
to the preference of the judge who eX-
amines them. Although he has in
years past bought many hogs in Eng
land and imported them for breeding
purposes he does not intend to do so
much more, though he may bet boar
from there occasionally He showed
his faith in Canadian bred hogs by
buying nine Yorkshire pigs from one
of the exhibitors Six of them were
prize winners and four of them won
first prizes.
New Fattening Methods.
At the Kansas station an expert
ment was made in feeding cattle
where hogs did not follow Results
were surprising. The best was an av-
erage gain of 100 pounds to $50
pounds of grain, or 80 pounds of gain
for each bushel CSC pounds) OF grain
eaten. This was made with carload
of steers fed corn meal and cut alfalfa
hay. This gain was made by grinding
the corn, cutting the hay, feeding the
hay and grain mixed, keeping the
steers in well drained yards, feeding
them regularly with fresh, palatable
food, giving them comfortable shelter
and having Clean ice free water al
ways within their reach.
| This shows saving in grain OF
from % to 40 per cent over the usual
methods of fattening steers. This ex-
pertinent was the first in developing
methods OF fattening steers that
would save grain and it is improbable
that the method that will make the
greatest saving was discovered at the
/ first trial. 1t is reasonable to con-
slider that further trials will develop
even more economical methods. 1t is
almost certain that a mixture of
grains will give better results than
corn alone.

EECoURAGEMENT TO LABOR.

Our sugar planters are in need of
laborers and yet the city is full of loaf
ers. The plantations want japanese,
but certain sugar factors of this city
are encouraging them to stay and re-
main here. We have been made aware
that certain stevedore firm on the
beach employs Japanese mostly as
wharfingers to load and unload vessels
in this port, because they are much
cheaper than Hawaiians, and further
because they think they can make
more money out of employing them.
The manager of this employment firm,
who is seeking free advertising
through the medium of the columns of
this paper, makes another attempt at
correcting another statement recently
made by us, which we gladly publish
elsewhere in this issue, and instead of
correcting our statement, no denial is
made of the truth or falsity of our
statement, but rather brag is made
as to the amount of work it is hand
ling. We care not whether it is EN-.
ploying nothing but Orientals as It's
wartingers, but we do care when it en-
ploys them in preference to our own
kind of people, who live and die here,
spend all that they earn here and

this.

licans of nearly two weeks ago, Mr..
Achi, with great deal of braggadocio,
expounded expressed and eXpostulat-
ed that our former chiefs did lots in
advancing the interests of Hawaii and
its people. He said that it was the
Chief A. Haalilio who went to England
and returned with the recognition of
our former independence, which has
since been trampled upon by those of
his party. And further, he said that
it was the late King Kalakaua, of rev.
cred memory, who went personally and
brought back the treaty of reciprocity
with the United States.
