the diaphragm and remove the lungs
and heart, together with the windpipe.
Remove the tongue.
A convenient way or cutting the car
cass Is shown in the illustration. Three.
cross sections are made one removes
the head, the next the shoulders be-
tween the fourth and fifth ribs, and
the next takes or the hams. The car
cass can then be easily sawed through
with the meat saw This plan requires
very little trimming for the hams.
Shoulders can be trimmed easily by re-
moving the ribs vr NECK piece ana cut
ting away the scraps for sausage and
lard The middle piece ia then split
through the center and the lower two
thirds Of the side removed, saving
through the ribs The ribs are then
taken out of the side piece. leaving the
lean meat on the side. ii part Of the
flank may be removed for lard, and the
remainder will be available to be cured
for bacon.
The lean meat on the upper third of
the back. including the Ribs, i'd called
the pork loin and Is excellent for chops
or roasting pieces. Fat trimmings may
be used for lard and the lean trimmings
sor sausage. The head and feet are
scraped and cleaned and used for head

be sailed until thoroughly cooled, after
which the quicker it goes into the salt
barrel the better. Cultiyator.

So the only plan left on the great
majority Of farms Ii to allow stacks to
rot down. In such case they are In
the way In cultivated fields, occupy
valuable space and when rotted down
the manure isn't very valuable. Even
on land where vegetable matter is de-
hcient straw isn't the best thing to-
supply the need. 1t takes lots Of work
to haul it out and scatter it on the
land and then it Is difficult to turn
under. Green r1anures are far cheaper
to put humus into the soil, for there is
no cost Of hauling or spreading, and
they contain many times as much plant
food as straw.
We may be criticised for our prac-
tce the past few years, but after ma
ture deliberation we can see no better
plan Of getting rid Of our surplus straw
than to stick match to 1T We have
tried baling and shipping spreading it

Of ashes that when distributed on poor
points show good results We have
arrived at that stage of the game In
our farming, concludes an Ohio Farm
er correspondent, where we don't care
to work when it isn't going to pay. So
we shall continue to burn our straw
until some one tells as how to dispose
Of it to better advantage.

in the city stood was the residence of
Mrs. Dowsett, whose well known fani-
ly have been prominent in Honolulu
affairs for all these years. Still fur
Their on the mauka side of Hotel street
we come to the famous Adams prem
Uses, which the old gentleman occupied
with his numerous descendants. Be
yond these, still towards Waikiki, was
a little single cottage of Mr.. George
Pelly, agent of the Hudson Bay Com
pany. The high stone wall around the
premises was considered indicative of
the exclusiveness of this representa-
tive of the great company. Directly
mauka of these premises but in the
adams yard" as 1t was called, was
the building occupied by the Odd Fell
flows, the first organization of this Or
der instituted in the North Pacific. I
had the honor of being the first ini-
tate and with William c. Parke of be-
loved memory, formed one of the char
ter members, giving it its name of Ex-
celsior, anticipating what 1t might at
tain to, and which expectations seems
to have been realized.
We come now to what is known as
Alakea street. On the Eva corner
makai of this street was a fine large
! straw house which I remember at this
time as the residence of Judge Ro-
bertson, a man well known and still
remembered for his sterling worth and
integrity of character. On the waikiki
XII corner stood a two-story stone
house, occupied by Mr.. James Jackson
Jarves and his wife. He was the pro-
,moter of the effort at silk culture at
Ko1oa, Kauai, which proved a failure
for the lack of sufficiently low tenn
perature to allow the cocoons to come
into the proper condition to produce
silk See Mr.. Jarves' very full account
in his book, Scenes and Scenery of
the Sandwich Islands,
Mr.. Jarves was also at one time the
editor of the weekly newspaper, called
The Polynesian. A startling announce
ment was made in one of its issues
which caused no end of speculation
and talk. It stated with a good deal
of minuteness that "a young American
Ilhad disappeared on the morning of
the Fourth of July; when last seen he
was entering the gate of the fort, since
which time no trace of him had been
found The secret leaked out before
the next weeks issue that Mr.. Jarves
had taken that day and occasion, for
foreswearing his own country, the
United states, and had taken the oath
of allegiance to His Majesty Kameha-
meha III
Crossing the street and passing ma
uka on the left hand corner, stood the
little cottage of Mr.. William Wood,
somewhat noted saloon keeper of the
better sort. The little cottage had,
however. another occupant whose
name has become associated with the
introduction of Odd Fellowship into
the islands. DR.. Watson brought the
first charter for a lodge of the Order
and instituted Excelsior Lodge, which
has proved Itself worthy Of it's name,
it's course ever having been onward
and upward" I am recently informed
by the senior officer of the Lodge that
I am now the only one living Of the
original charter members Sixty years
is a long look backward This building
stood where the Honolulu Library now
stands.

Democratic City Administration
Receives Praise from the
Convention.

/ The following resoluti on wa
adopted by the democratic con
yention last night:
We, the democrats of chickasha
III convention assembled, and rep
resenting, as we do, a large major
ity OF the tax payers and legal vo-
tiers Of the municipality, view with
satisfaction and pride the admirable
record made by the city council
and city officials in whose hands
we have placed the welfare and
prosperity Of our city.
AS a distinguished American
once said, there Is but one light
by which my feet are guided and
that is to Judge the future by the
past, " and viewed under this rule
and measured by this yard stick
we have just occasion to be proud
of the record we have made, and if
coming events cast their shadows
before, we can but believe that the
promises Of the future will be
equal to the achievements of the
past.
The present administration be-
gan its work confronted with the
financial problem Of city scrip sell
ing at 4oc on the dollar, and two
days scrip issued for one days
work, or s. for 81 material. In
less than one year scrip has risen
i'm value over roo per cent and IS
sued dollar for dollar. For the
fiscal year ending April Ist, 1908,
the city administration with a re-
publican mayor created an indebt-
edness during the year Of approxi-
mately $4,000. Their expendi-
ture Of public money was $40, 600
in excel Of their collections from
all sources and this was with tax
levy Of !. 40 per cent. The public
schools with 23 teachers were main
tanned for FIVE months. The pres
|ent democratic administration with
a tax levy Of ? per cent as against
2 40 Of 1902 has been self sustain
ing and has reduced the general
public debt approximately s. 600.
II has made provisions by which
the public schools, under the man
agement Of an efficient democratic
board, will be maintained six
months as against FIVE months in
1909, and have employed six adj
ditional teachers over the year 1902
The water works and sewerage
bonds have been sold at par and
contract has been awarded in the
sum Of s6o,73o after the consider
alton of "a sealed bids, the con
tract being awarded to the lowest
bidder who has entered bond for
the early completion Of the work,
and while the sewerage contract
has not been let there is every rea-
son to believe that il will be let
and placed in before the water
works system is completed; that
when completed the entire system
will be elective and modern and
every interest Of the city will have
been thoroughly protected.
Therefore cit
Resolved by the democrats in
convention assembled. that we
heartily endorse the official acts Of
the city council and democratic
officials in general and we COM
mend them as faithful public ser
wants who have performed their
duties well, and this is grateful
acknowledgement of the same.
