BOAT WAS ROCKED
AGAINST THE SUGAR

Answers were filed by the Paauhau
Sugar Plantation to the two damage
suits filed against it by two natives,
claimed to have been seriously injured
at Paauhau a few months ago.
The defendant denies any negligence
on the part of it's employees, or that
there was any defect in the machinery
used. In the case of Palapala, who
claimed to have been struck by the
fall of sling load of sugar, this is de-
MED and the defendant claims that the
plaintiffs boat went up and. hit the
sugar.
The answer says that the said
winchman did not thereafter lower the
said sling load any further, and before
he received any signals so to do the
said boat was suddenly lifted on a big
wave up and towards the said sling
load and knocked down, whereby he re-
ceived certain injuries of the extent of
which this defendant has no knowl-
edge"

WAS COUNTY
BILL FIXED2
Section Inserted
Though Not
Passed.
hackmen's Language
Clause Creeps
In.
Chanoe MadN In Countv Bill
Change Made in County Bill
Which Evidently ws:. Not
Authorized by Legislature.

Was the County bill fixed" after II
passed both houses of the legislature
and before it was submitted to Gov
ernor Dole for signature. Both houses
agreed to leave out the House amend
ment requiring hackmen to have q
knowledge of both the English and Ha-
J waiian language, and to pass a separ-
ate bill, which was done, but yet the
copy signed by the Governor contains
the very clause which the conference
committee agreed TO omit.
Section S4s. Chapter Sc. relating to
vehicles and drivers. is as follows:
.The Sheriff or Deputy Sheriff shall
before any license is issued for any pas
senger vehicle, inspect the vehicle for
which a license is requested and the
harness and the animals to be used
! Herewith. and If he shall find the same
to be in good serviceable condition he
shall deliver to the applicant therefor
a certificate setting forth such fact, and
the capacity of the vehicle. Such Off
Ger shall also examine any applicant
for a drivers license and if he finds
such applicant to be competent driver.
AND ABLE TO READ AND WRITE
THE ENGLISH OR HAWAIIAN Lam
GUAGE HE SHALL GIVE HIM a
CERTIFICATE TO THAT EFFECT.
mo license shall be issued to any
driver or for any passenger vehicle un-
til the receipt by the Tax Collector of
SUCH CERTIFICATE"
Both the original bill in the possess
sion of the Governor and the copy of
the bill in the Senate records contain
this clause. The bill as passed by the
Senate did not have any reference to
the section as finally inserted, and the
it from the House amendments. This
subject was one Of the points of diff
ference between the Senate and the
House and it was agreed in the con-
ference that it should be omitted, the
condition being that the Senate should
pass the Hackmen's bill as it came
from the House, and which contained
the language qualification. This the
Senate finally did. ]. d. Avery, the
clerk of the conference committee, said
it had been agreed that this clause
should be omitted and the same state
ment is made by members of the con-
ference committee.
The conference committee report has
no reference TO the section referring
to vehicle licenses, and though several
changes are reported in the license
chapter as agreed upon, there is not
the slightest reference to the hackmen.
None of the members of the Legis-
lature who were questioned knew ex-
actly how the amendment had crept
into the bill, though there was a una
nimity of opinion that it had not been
intended to pass the section as in the
bill which was signed by Governor Dole

Sir Isaac's action was due to want OF
thought. Any reader who mentally de-

Changing from Barn to Pasture.

The food, environment and mode OF
life of the paStured COW are utterly un-
like those she encounters in the stable.
The Vermont Experiment Station has
been conducting experiments to ascer-
tain how this profound change affects
the cows milk flow. and also how the
quality of the milk is affected. The re-
suits were ascertained from herd vary
ing in size from thirty to sixty cows.
The milk flow for the entire herd for a
period of two weeks in the barn prior to
placing the cows on pasture is represent
ed as l00 the first two weeks on pasture
1864. the next four weeks on pasture
lOl l-2. The fat content of the milk
during the three periods was 5.Ol in the
barn: SO during the first two weeks on
pasture; j.0S during the next four weeks
on pasture. The above figures We're the
average of those collected for four years.
During four of the eight years tive'siXths
of the cows improved in the quality OF
their milk while on pasture the first two
weeks; one eighth showed no change in
quality of the milk; while 2 per cent
rave a poorer milk. During the next
four weeks, as compared with the record
on barn feeding, four-sevenths of the
cows bettered the flow, one-half gave
milk of unchanged grade, and scant
one tenth made milk of lower quality.
The conclusion of these experiments is
that no poorer milk results from pasture
feeding even though the flow is consider
ably augmented. A better milk and
more of it, and seldom a thinner milk,
no matter how much there was of it,
was the general outcome of all the tests
made. The results show that the law
which lowers the milk standard for May
and June, because of the supposed thin
ner milk made on pasture feeding, is
rrational.-Mirror and Farmer.

Summer Boarders.

The summer boarding business is not
unlike other kinds of business, mas
much rs it must be learned, and one
engaging in it had best begin in small
way. One can make beginning with
three or four rooms, which can be added
To if the profits of the business warrant.
There is no difficulty in getting all the
boarders wanted for couple months,
which is about the length of the season
if the location and service is right. The
best method of making beginning IN
the business is through the recommends
alton of friends in the city. Every farm
er has friends and acquaintance among
city residents who will gladly recon-
mend his place to people desiring board.
If the conditions are favorable for the
business. We look upon the entertain
ment of summer boarders rs legitimate
business upon any farm and one when
present conditions make more available
than ever before. Like other business,
it must be given careful attention and
every detail must be nicely looked after.
The management of details in any bust
ness determines its success or failure.
The people will not stay at any farm
house with Indifferent treatment, but
they are going somewhere and are will
ing to pay for what they get. Many
farmers began in this business in Il small
way years ago and uy consta mt care and
wise extension of it are now reapinS 4
handsome yearly profit from it. There
is opportunity for others to do the same
with equally as good prospects for years
tn come. This business pays better prof
it than farm crops when rightly manag-
ed.-Mirror and Farmer.

Potato Culture.

Alta recent institute Professor Broo ks
pointed out that almost all the varieties
of potatoes which have been introduced
within the past dozen years have been
subjected to careful trials in the expert
ment station. In every trial the old
standard varieties Beauty of Hebron and
Early Rose have been included; and
while occasionally some OF the newer
varieties have exceeded these in produc-
tivenesS, both of these have always been
found close TO the head, and last year
among some 40 varieties the Beauty OF
Hebron gave the largest yield of all.
Professor Brooks said that more APP
pareutly depends upon securing seed OF
good quality which has been well kept
than on the name it chances to bear. In
Amherst, Beauty of Hebron seed raised
in northern Maine gives superior results
to that of home production. The In
crease in yield and earliness is more
than sufficient to cover the extra cost oi
the northern seed.
1t is important to prevent scab. Soak
ing the seed for an hour and half in
solution of corrosive sublimate at the
rate of two ounces to - gallons of water,
or formalin at the rate of eight fluid
ounces to 10 gallons of water, has been
found effective. The seed should OF
soaked before cutting.-N. E. Farmer.

New EngIand's Needs.

was much interested in the recent
article by j. W. Sanborn on "New Eng
land Farming and Its Present Encourag-
ing Aspect" and if, as he points out, a
new era is dawning, it behooves US all
to be up and doing all we can to hasten
| its coming. But if the same conditions
prevail in other sections as here in Yer
mont, viz, the great lack of help, the
| first requisite is TO devise some way to
induce or turn the tide of immigration.
For the lack of help many of our farm
ers are not utilizing half the land that
has formerly been cultivated; besides
there are hundreds of so-called "desert-
ed farms" and vacant houses that could
be rented or bought cheap. Why can
we not induce some of those starving
Swedes and Firms to leave that cold and
desolate region and come to this land of
plenty and prosperity? 1t surely seems
something of this kind might be done
that would be beneficial to both them
and us.
think perhaps many are in an error
both as regards the productive nature OF
our soil and remarkably low price for
which farms can be bought here. Mr..
Sanborn has given some figures as to the
present price of western lands, also aver
age amount of product per acre there,
and it is well known that we can more
than duplicate those yields. Last season

els of oats, and on the same ground the
year previous raised l2C baskets of corn

there than can here. When | first

land now is worth $50 TO 800 per acre,
while land in this vicinity, near villages,
stores, creameries, etc, can be bought
for - TO Sl2 per acre, farms with good
buildings, plenty timber; most of them
have sugar trees and plenty of fruit and
good water, while the western farm,
generally, has no timber, fruit or surface
water.
Not only can those who would cast
their lot among us easily secure homes
here, but get work for themselves and
families; boys and girls, especially, in
great demand.-New England Farmer.

The American Grocer gives some inter-
esting statistics as to the character and
cost of the nations drink bill, in COM
pairing the consumption of alcoholic and
non-alcoholic stimuantS. According to
that reliable trade journal, "the total
bill of the nation for stimulants in 1902
was 81, ,369, ,O9S, ,276.O0; the average yearly
expenditure for the past five years was
81. .239, los, $500 The record for 1902
represents per capita expenditure for
stimulants of Sl7.33 for the 79, ,0O3, 600 in
habitants of the United States, or ~
cents per day. The users of alcoholic
stimulants are estimated to form one
fourth the total population, on which
basis the per capita cost OF alcoholic
beverages is S69.32. or 10 cents per day."
The total cost was divided as follows:
Alcoholic drinks, sl,172, ,565, ,235; nom
alcoholic stimulants, coffee, sl49, ,s9l ,o3o;
tea, S39, ,842, oil; cocoa, ,0OO.OOO. These
figures seem to indicate that the Ameri-
can people drink more alcoholic than
non-alcoholic beverages, but such is not
the case. Setting values aside, more
coffee than any other stimulant is con.
sumed. Beer comes next, and distilled
spirits and wine are last on the list. The
quantities of the various beverages con-
sumed, as compiled by the American
Grocer. are as follows: Coffee, 1 ,49S, ,9l0,-
SO4 gallons; beer, 1881, ,s75, ,4S7 gallons;
tea, S96. .42O,l gallons; spirits and
wines, l5I ,2O6, ,554 gallons. Coffee is said
to be steadily growing in popularity,
and the same is true of beer, its con-
sumption increasing at the expense OF
that of more powerful and deleterious
stimulants, and not at the expense OF
non-alcobolic beverages. The per capita
consumption of spirits has decreased
within the last decade.
