sible to use fertilizers on the fields on
account of the expense of getting such
materials there, and also because the
heavy winter rains wash off SO much
of the top soil.
There used to be a good profit in
pigs but the price of pork has steadily
declined in the past few years SO that
now the margin of profit is very small
Various diseases have also become
prevalent SO that some people have
given up raising pigs almost entirely
Chickens do well, also turkeys, and eggs
are abundant, but the cost of getting
them to market is so great in COM
parison to the net returns that the profit
is small.
Taking into consideration, therefore,
all these various difficulties, small farm
ing in Kula certainly has many and
serious drawbacks. So much so that
the Portuguese and Chinese who used
to be largely interested there have been
leaving steadily for the past few years.
The Japanese have been taking their
places to large extent but do not seem
to be doing any better. In conversation
with the proprietor of a store in the
district he stated that throughout Kula
the people we're very hard up and it was
difficult to collect bills for supplies.
Many are now turning their attention to
the castor bean hoping that may prove
profitable 1t is merely an experiment
as yet but / sincerely hope they may
succeed Certainly those living in the
district deserve TO succeed after con-
tending with SO many difficulties. But

tious1y recommend it as suitable for the
small farmer | have not been very
carefully over all parts of Maui but
unless conditions are much more favor

Island can be recommended as good
field for the small farmer.
At Haiku they have started IN ex-
tensively with pirieapples and are turn
ing OUT. a fine article from their cannery
l certainly hope it will prove success
but how much profit there will be in
merely the raising of pineapples by the
small farmer remains to be. proved.
My object in writing on this subject
is not to discuss the pros and cons of
small farming in all its phases but to
simply point out a few of the many
difficulties that present themselves
throughout the district in which | have
been a resident for the past few months;
district which was one of the first
to attract the small farmer and has been
settled quite thickly for the past ten
years, and whose products are well
known throughout the Islands and are
in constant demand

CASE ALMOST MIRACLE.
Nothing is known to the doctors about
the means or method of the cure that
astonishes them. The credit is not
theirs. Since miracles were performed
on earth. the medical men have regarded
leprosy as absolutely beyond the posi-
bility of cure Pepeloy, the subject,
saws that he cured himself and that
the healing is the result of discovery
never made before He says that all
lepers can be cured; but he has suffered
so long, and is now so helpless in the
world TO which he is almost a stranger,
that he feels he has right to make
financial profit out of his secret. So for
the present the formula is his alone.
"Pepeloy is cured" said DR.. Ward
last night. His case has been looked
into by physicians whose standing and
learning cannot be doubted, and there
is no question about the matter"
DR.. George Purlensky, who has medi-
cal charge of the lepers at the pesthouse,
saws that in all certainty a cure has
practically been effected. The disease,
he thinks, NAV not be fully eradicated
from the patients system, and he is to
examine Pepeloy once month. He
agrees with the other doctors, how
ever, that the leper has been so thor
ougfl1y healed that there is no danger
of the disease being spread by him and
that no trace of the leprQsy can now be
detected
PepeIoy is about forty years of age.
He was born in Honolulu.
