Here in Hawaii the breed under dis
cussion is well and favorably known
as the Pooled Angus" Importers for

California. the o. r. & L. Co.. from the |
States. my own investment or importa- |

had any cause TO regret, consisted OF an |
even half hundred well selected thor

the year 1896 have even a number

the herd none have ever been kept
up or fed, excepting the mich cows.
| Drought has not hurt them, neither the
grown stock nor the calves were hurt
by the dry season of 1898. All do well
on the native grasses. | have found
them in the pastures to be what the
western stockmen of the Mainland call
good hustlers'-I may say better than
even the native island cattle, The half
breed Polled Angus cattle here mature
earlier and put fat on more readily
than part Durham or part Holsteins
under the same conditions. This is
given as my own experience. The
Polled Angus beef is Of course prime
and the carcasses OF the half breeds are
In every way satisfactory. The meat
here sustains its reputation. On the
whole Il may be asserted as the con-
clusion of experience that the Aber-
deem or Angus Polled stock Is peculiar
ly well adapted to Hawaiian pasturage.
The thoroughbreds that brought here
proved to be good mixers and the half
breeds, with care used In selection
seem to be as good for the pail as the
thoroughbreds. have dairy statistics
where the half-breed Polled Angus
cows form goodly portion of the herd
and the average per animal ranks with
the best here.
In conclusion ! may say that un-
9 qualifedly recommend the improve
1 ment OF all our herds in Hawaii,
whether or no / have convinced the
breeds that in the grading the Aber-
deem or Angus Polled cattle should be
first choice.
G Mr.. Judd asked II Mr.. McCandless
$ had ever figured on the shipment oil
Polled Angus cattle to the other isl.
ands. Was there not a great deal OF
danger? Were not the animals toe

] Candies facetiously remarked that he
, understood the steamer people and
others had way of hosting up cattle
by the horns. This would, of course,
do great deal Of damage TO the
= Polled Angus.
The chair asked II there was not a
: greater tendency on the part OF the
Polled Angus to become wild and Mr..
McCandless answered in the negative.
On the other hand, he believed that

the case Of the horned breeds. He had
