POULTRY
RAISING

$&oG, HE tremendous growth dur.
II " Y ing recent years of the
9 Q poultry and egg industry,
y which, In point of value of
TCS tie prodllct, now ranks as
one oI the leading American wealth
producing activities, has resulted in
the introduction Of modern scientific
methods, which are quite as marked
" III contrast to former practices as
the advances in any other progressive
neld OF endeavor. Indeed, to present
cay achievements In this direction
must be attributed the recent devel-
opment OF the American export trade
IN eggs. which has recently invaded
markets as far distant as the Orient.
Perhaps the most convincing demon
stration Of what scientific methods are
accomplishing in the poultry industry
is afforded by the unique poultry farm
at Sidney, Ohio, which ranks as the
largest in the United States, and prob
ably In the world. The buildings
which comprise the plant consist of
Two main structures and a number of
smaller Enclosures. All are Of brick
construction, with slate roofs; and
more than 100000 has been expended
IN buildings and equipment, exclusive
Of the cost Of the site, which comprises
l4O acres.
The hatchery, or broiler plant, Is
$50 feet in length. The main portion

of the building is built In the form
OF the letter U, and has a periphery
or $40 feet. In the basement of the
other part are thirty incubators, each
containing 800 eggs, so that there is
total OF 5000 eggs daily in state Of
incubation. The filling Of the machines
Is SO timed that one incubator will
discharge its brood each day, and thus
the plant may be said to have a daily
Matching capacity Of 300 chickens.
From the incubator cellar, the small
chickens are taken to what is known
as the nursery" which constantly
shelters about 5000 young chickens,
ranging in age from one to thirty days.
Whom the chickens have attained the
aged Of thirty-one days, they are low
cred by an elevator to the ground
floor and put in the U-shaped part Of
the building, which is divided into
sixty pens. The chickens advance
one pen each day, so that at the end
Of two months they have completed
the circuit and are ready for trans
ference to the shipping department. 1t
may be noted in this connection that
the U-shaped portion of the building
is constantly tenanted by about 21,OOO
chickens, ranging in age from thirty
to ninety days. The egg house at the
Sidney plant is 537 feet in length, and
similar in construction to the building
above described. It is bisected length
wise by four-foot aisle. on each side

SEAT WAR
APPROVES THE
GAS FRANCHISE
HOUSES PASSES THE DIMOND
MEASURE ON RECEIVING y
FAVORABLE REPORT.

The House Committee on Agriculture
and Forestry this morning reported
tavorably the w. W. Dimond gas fran
chise bill, Senate Bill No. %, and the
report of the committee was adopted,
passing the bill on second reading.
The same committee presented a re-
port in favor of tabling the House Bill
No. 81 which provides for another gas
franchise, the Senate having already
tabled a similar measure. In the re-
port approving the Dimond franchise
the committee says:
Your committee understands that
two thirds of the capital will be put up
by local men and the remainder may
be taken up by outsiders. The inten-
tions of those asking for this franchise
is to make this a local concern as far
as possible. This is not therefore a
foreign company as some may infer
from arguments advanced by those op-
posed to granting this franchise. A
plant as proposed by those asking for
this franchise established in this city
means the expenditure of a large sum
of money and a consequent employ
ment of a great number of working
men, The committee believe that gas
is very convenient article both for
heating, cooking, etc In fact the uses
to which gas may be put are very nu-
merOus. House Bill No. 105 is identi-
cal with Senate Bill No. %, therefore
your committee recommends that
House Bill 1O5 be tabled, and that SEN
ate Bill % be passed"

WILL DEPORT
LAW VIOLATORS
IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS TO SEND
JAPANESE WHO VIOLATED CON
TRACT LABOR LAW TO JAPAN.

The immigration Bureau will today
have deported to Japan, two Japanese
who violated the contract labor law.
The names of the men are TOmikichi
Oda and Toyokichi Sakai. They are
the men who caused II. Hamano the
japanese merchant to get into trouble
with the Federal authorities.
Both Japanese came to this country
under a contract to work for Mr. Ha-
mano. He was tried in the United
States court recently on a charge OF
violating the contract labor law. In
one case, he pleaded guilty and was
fined $1,000 and in the other, the pro-
secution quashed the proceedings.
Both of the Japanese had been held
by the Federal authorities as witnesses
against HamanO. Inasmuch as both
had admitted to the immigration Off
cials, their guilt in the matter, Inspec-
tor Brown ordered both to be deported.
This morning, they We're turned over
to the custody of the immigration au-
thortes by High Sheriff Brown. The
Japs were taken aboard the America
Maru and locked up to be kept until
the vessels leaves for Japan this after
noon

TALK
AND JUDGE
KALUA
The Maui Judge is Very Indig-
nant That RumOrS of His Be-
ing Bribed by Chinese Gamb-
IerS Should be in Circulation.

Judge kaluG of the Third Circuit
court was the subject of more bribery
rumors during the term just ended, the
judge himself making the matter public
by mentioning it on the bench. Kalua
Maui preferred grave charges before
the Mitchell commission of United
States Senators, and the commissions
report severely criticized him.
During the trial OF Chinese gambling
cases last week Kalua stated that he
had been informed by a prominent
citizen that il was common talk that
he had been bribed i'm the case and the
judged expressed his indignation that
such reports should be spread.
There were three gamblers who had
been fined $400 each in the lower court
having been the bankers in pakapio
games and three others had been fined
Sl00 each and costs. The three who
wree under fines of $4OO were discharg-
ed by the judge on a motion of acquit
because the complaint charged the Of
fense on the 18th of the month and the
evidence showed a different date. This
is said by attorneys to be another eX-
tTaordinary ruling to Kaluas credit, as
in many cases crimes are proved on
different dates from those given in the
complaints or indictments. Indict-
ments in the First Circuit are drawn
alleging an offense ION or about" a
certain date and such indictments are
sustained by the judges.
The other three Chinese defendants
went to trial and were found guilty
their sentences being affirmed.

MANY CASES OF
''PINK-EYE"
ARE DISCOVERED, TREATED AND
CURED THROUG HTHE AGENCY
OF KINDERGARTENS.

During the month of March the
teachers and hygienic agents of the
Free kindergarten Association discov-
cred IS cases Of "pink-eye," probably
trachoma, among the children of the
kindergartens, and Immediately isolat-
ed the patients and secured treatment
for them. OF the is cases, 16 have al
ready been cured and the other two are
on the way to recovery. inll-eye"
or whatever the disease is, is a highly
and readily contagious disease of the
eye, which yields readily to treatment
if taken in time, but if not may be
followed by serious consequences.
The Board of Supervisors of the Free
kindergarten association which held
its monthly meeting this forenoon at
the Y. NJ. c. A. considers that in this
one matter alone of detecting and re-
medying so many cases of this readily
communicable disease, it has done the
community a distinct and valuable SER
vice.
The financial report for the year
shows that the Kindergarten work
maintained by the association has eX-
pended during the year 81 200. The
number of pupils on the average in at
tendance on the schools has been $40, so
that the average annual expenditure
has been about $40 for each pupil.
This is said to be a very moderate
amount indeed, and shows that the
association has been administered care
fully and economically. Yet ecOnomi-
cally as it has been administered, there
will be a deficit of about ST. 500 for the
year, which the board of supervisors
hope will be met by public spirited
members of the community.
During the past month the attend
ance at the kindergartens has been a
decrease from previous months on ac-
count of the prevalence of dengue fever
but the interest and efficiency has in
creased. There have been made dur
ing the month under the direction of
the hygienic department, 250 surgical
dressings of one sort and another.

maui PROMISED
A REAL HOT
Time
Lahaina And WaiIuku Getting
Ready For The Fray-TaIk
hat Judge KaIua May Re-
sign And Run For Shiriff,

A lot of political activity is reported
on Maui as a result of the rivalry of
Lahaina and Wailuku for the honor of
being the county seat, and also among
candidates for the various offices. One
report has it that Judge Kalua intends
to resign from the bench and run for
sheriff of Maui. The Judge, 1t is
stated, would be a formidable opponent
in the campaign.
The supporters of Lahaina claim that
as a general port of call on the lea side
of the island Lahaina is more accessi-
BILE to litigants and attorneys and that
there would often be considerable delay
and expense in getting to Wailuku.
Practically all the steamers running
between Maui and Hawaii make La
haina a stopping place.
The legislature may leave the matter
of selecting a county seat to the voters
of Maui, naming no seat in the act. In
this event, it is stated, Wailuku would
probably win as there appear to be
more voters on Maui who want that
place than there are supporters of La
haina.

THE PAKES
GOT OFF
NURSERY IS
FULL OF BUGS
BUREAU OF AGRICULTURE A
PART OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC WORKS.

The government nursery on King
street has been closed by order of Sup
erintendent of Public Works Cooper, as
a result of a discovery that it is badly
infected with pests and the distribution
of plants was spreading the pests all
over the Islands. Incidentally, since
the departure of Commissioner Wray
Taylor the fact has been discovered
that the agricultural bureau is sub
bureau of the Department of Public
Works. 1t has not been generally
known that the commissioner of agri-
culture and forestry was not the head
Of an Independent bureau but an eXa-
mination of the laws creating the posi-
ton show, it is stated, that the superin-
tendent of public works has control
over the commissioner of agriculture
and forestry.
The agricultural bureau was created
by Section 423 of the civil code, and
originally consisted of a board of five
persons, the Minister of the Interior.
eX-Officio, being president. The law
calls the agricultural department "a
bureau in the department of the In
terror" and the organic act made no
change in the law except to substitute
commissioner for the board and a
superintendent of public works for the
Minister of the Interior.
According to Professor r. c. L. Per-
hlllS IueIe Is a Ddu assortment Ol DuBS
in the nursery. Pests of almost all
kinds have gradually found their way
into the place, and it is the intention
row to have a general cleaning up.
Sprays will lbe used and other methods
employed to kill off the insect pests and
then the nursery will be reopened and
the distribution Of plants resumed.
Professor Perkins says that the gov
ornment ought to have a fumigating
apparatus for plants, so that every
plant leaving the nursery might be
cleared of insects.
