In Favor Of Stage.
There are several good points In
1svor OF silaSe n = feed for dairy
COWS. and these should not be over
looked when the farmer Is debating
what kind Of feed he will use. Its
dfGestibility Is increased by the fer
mentation 1t undergoes. and by some
scientists this increased digestibility
10 placed at about 20 per cent. With
silsge more bulk OF feed can be
raised to the acre than in any other
way. Nearly any kind Of corn can be
raised for silage and q shorter season
will bring 1t to the Safeguarding
stage than to the grain-producing
stage. It can be harvested in wet
weather and moisture does not harm
1t. which il not the case with corn
that IL being raised for fodder. As .
plant TO grow 1t is not expensive and
our farmers all know how to harvest
It. Tho feed that comes out Of the
silo IL ~ succulent az the COW ever
gets and she will do as well on 1t rs
on the best bluegrass pasture that
can be grown. Some feeders say that
their cows do better on silage than
on blue grass pasture. Silage can be
used ~ = soiling crop rs well as q
winter feeding crop. This is great
advantage when 4 farmer has enough
to last him over winter and into the
summer season. There IL one thing
that should not be lost sight OF in re-
gard to sihge and that is that It can
be carried over from one year to an
other and its life can be extended
through . number Of years. This il
not true Of fodder. for in the course
Of time It deteriorates. though It may
b bright and good throughout the
hrst winter. None Of our farmers
would think Of keeping fodder for
two or three years and feeding It to
their cows. The keeping quality of
silage makes It impossible to make the
abundance Of one year balance the
deficiency In another. silase il very
Convenient to use in feeding. probably

feed. Its use makes 1t possible to
greatly increase Tie stock carrying

Buy = Milk Tester.

Buy . MIX Tester.
We have referred to the matter OF
= milk tester before and that many
times. But We are conscious OF the
fact that a good many Of our readers
have never invested In = milk tester
and we know also that we have new
Thousands Of readers every year. So
again we revert to the subject. Our
farmers will never know the value or
lack Of value of their cows till they
take steps to md out for 4 certainty
what each COW IL doing. A machine
for testing the milk Of COWS can be
purchased for about $500. and 1t will
be worth TO any intelligent man q
great many nve-dollar bills. Toe pos
session of = milk tester does not
the work Of testing his cows for the
rest of his natural life. He has only
to test them enough to come to GER
tain conclusions in his own mind as
to their value for milk and butter pro-
duction. Some OF our experimenters
do not test their cows the year
around. They test them for enough
weeks to be able to fix on the rich
ness Of the milk and then the weigh
ing Of the milk win do the rest.
American farmers need to begin .
steady process Of getting rid Of their
poor COWS. Test the cows and dis
pose Of the poorest one. That will
not make much OF 4 hole In the herd.
Then buy or raise q new COW to take
her place. Next year repeat the oper-
alton. disposing Of the poorest and
putting = new COW in her place. In
this way in the course Of ten years
We would have . very different cow
population from that we have at the
present time. By all means invest q
small sum of money in milk testing

as they realize that the Almighty has

ceptions to this rule. and such excep-
tions are to be found ON these isolated
sand dunes. They are like islands in

loamy soil rather than to sandy soil.
II some birds had dropped the seeds

would have taken the lead and crowd

would have been . stately forest Of

In Rochester. N y, where about
$4,000 are expended annually for the
supervision of the milk supply. and .
few Thousand milk samples are ex-
amined both chemically and bacteria
logically each year. the average daily
use Of milk amounts to about eighty
three one hundredths pint per capita;
while in st. Louis. Mo-. where less
than $1,000 are expended annually for
the supervision of the milk supply
and only . few hundred samples OF
milk are examined chemically and
bacteriologically, and where 1t is Of
fcially admitted that the milk regu-
lations are not well enforced, the
average daily use OF milk amounts to
only about thirty-seven one-hun-
dredths pint per capita. Just and
well-enforced laws are not objection
able. They increase public confidence
in milk and thus increase the de.
mand for 1t. 1t would be well to add
here that by "well-enforced" we mean
enforcement by an oficer who IL In

STRANGE DELAYS IN Tue DISCOVERY OF Hawaii
BY S. E. Bishop In The Friend.

La Mesa" La Desgraciada," and Los
Monies" by which names they appeared
on Spanish. charts, but located ten de-
grees too far east.
The Spaniards carefully kept silence
about their discovery of hawaii, but for
some unknown reason suffered $50 years
to pass without seeking TO gain farther
knowledge of this group. This neglect
of the Spaniards was most singular,
and almost unaccountable fact, but their
failure TO explore and occupy Hawaii
must be deemed fact of inestimable
advantage to the commercial and es-
pecially to the religious, future of these
/ Islands
One may perhaps conjecture that by
1855 Spain was too much occupied in
! consolidating her existing conquests on
the Pacific not to postpone any addi-
tional labors of that kind, and that her
political depression, following the de-
struction of the Armada, finally incapaci
tated her from looking in the direction
of Hawaii, so that all she could do
would be to maintain long silence up
on the existence of so possibly I'M
portant strategic point. May it per-

Spanish Armada was the salvation not
only of England and of Professionalism
in Europe and America, but also saved
Hawaii from being early wrecked by
Spanish tyranny and the Spanish In
QUESTION?
AT any rate, Hawaii and its people
were saved from a most disastrous fate.
one may imagine that fate by reading
kingsley's Westward lIo," with its
CHASTITY pictures of the maltreatment of
the Indians around the Caribbean, or
Prescott's Conquest of Mexico" and
Conquest Of Peru" Hawaii was mer-
cfully spared the invasion of the Span
lard, with his merciless warriors and
even more cruel priests. The bitter and
relentless Pope-y which cursed Spanish
America never entered Hawaii. The
fortunes and burnings of the Spanish In
QUESTION failed to be established in these
happy isles, although when Cook landed
| at kealakekua, It's racks and fires were
i'll full activity in every Spanish prov
ince of the Pacific coast, from Chile to
Mexico.
1t certainly was marvellous advan-
tage that Hawaii was preserved un-
touched and unknown, virgin land,
until the Spanish power had become de-
crepit, and the Pacific had begun to be
occupied by English and American COM
merce Beyond the native idolatry
which that commerce soon brought into
disrepute among the supplemented
Islanders, there was no obstacle barring
out the pure religion of Christ Espe-
| cially was there no stern Popery and its
lnQuisition to prohibit and burn the
Holy Bible. Hawaii was preserved "a
part until the very eve OF the day when
Protestant lands were to awake to their
privilege of sending abroad mission
aries OF Christ to heather lands
In this wonderful preservation of this
strategic center of the Pacific for Gospel
conquest, one is led to discern special
Divine Providence, which was followed
by remarkable succession of other
events all working to the same result.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1904-02-05

The writer proposes TO specify and
describe a series of peculiar events, all
of which contributed and combined to
produce the singular success which at
tended the introduction of Christianity
into the Hawaiian Islands Many OF
these circumstances were such as were
unlikely to occur Altogether they
were SO numerous, and SO tended to
the accomplishment of one result, that
they may well be regarded by Christian
believers as constituting chain of very
marked Special Providences, which
were Divinely intended to secure firm
ly this important strategic position as
a possession OF enlightened Christianity
for the furtherance of the kingdom OF
the Lord Jesus in this Pacific Henri
sphere. 1t is believed to be profitable
and important that we should distinct
ly recognize this peculiar course of
Divine Providence, and we may begin
by noting the peculiar Providential De-
lay in the Discovery of Hawaii.
Hawaii was first made known to the
world through its discovery by the ia
nous explorer, Captain James Cook,
who on his voyage from Bolabola to
Alaska, visited Kauai in January, 1873
and on his return, first saw the Island
OF Hawaii i'll December OF the same
year. From that time forward, the
group was frequently visited, and
speedily became of commercial impor-
lance. Before 1920, considerable trade
had become established with China
Mexico, and the northwest coast OF
America. There was also large whal-
ing fleet visiting these ports.
In fact, no port OF equal commercial
importance existed in the central or
northeastern Pacific.
In view of so rapid commercial de-
velopment after discovery, it must be
considered strange that the existence
of so central and important group
remained unknown until so late date
as 1888. All the other groups inhabited
by the Polyncsian race had long been
known 10 the world. For over $50 years
the Spanish gallcons had been crossing
the North Pacific annually both ways
between Mexico and the Philippines
Hawaii lying in direct line between
the two countries. Alexander is doubt
less correct in his statement (History
p. 1907. These islands did not lie in
the track of the Spanish galleons, for
on leaving Acapulco they stecred south,
westerly so as TO pass far to the s0dth
of them, and on their return voyage
they sailed northward till they reached
thirty degrees of latitude, and then raj,
before the westerly winds till they APP
preached the coast of North America
This was fortunate for the Hawaiians
who thus escaped the sad fate of the
natives of the Ladrone or Marianne
Islands"
But this fortunate escape" must have
been all extremely narrow one, for we
learn from the same accurate historian
that in Dec, 1897, one of Saavedra' S
squadron was doubtless wrecked on the
western coast of Hawaii Also in the
year 1855, Juan Gaetano actually discov-
cred Hawaii, Maui, and three smaller
islands, which he named respectively,
