what bacteria Arc.

Bacteria are plants. Although they
were formerly classed as animals. It is
now universally conceded that they are
plants They are single celled and Of
simple structure. being composed all
most entirely Of protoplasm. They diff
fer from higher plants in that they con
tain no chlorophyl tgreen coloring mat
teri. They resemble more closely the
yeasts and molds. There are many diff
ferent varieties of bacteria About 1000
different kinds have been isolated and
studied, and new varieties are being
found every day. Bacteria are very
small. being invisible to the naked eye.
It would take about 10000 average siz-
ed bacteria placed end to end to make

about 100000 in d cube to make a

i station at Geneva, N. Y. is reported by
American Agriculturist as having been
very successful The objects were:
| To post institute workers on all that

| and show what is true. doubtful and
false. and to secure uniformity in in
stitute work
The programme consisted of lectures
by various members Of the station
staff on the following subjects: Germ

piled with an outline containing the
principal points brought out in each of
the lectures There was also full
discussion after each lecture.
Besides the members of the station

GREEN BONE.

A Man Who Says 1t Added Fifteen
Per Cent to His Poultry Profits.
My experience with cut bone as a
only with flock of 100 hens. writes
w. f. Adams in Farmers Voice. Prior
to that time had not used cut bone
/ get a soup bone of the butcher
save off the meat Ga little meant won't
hurt if you intend feeding as soon as
cut. and feed the same day il is cut.
Some people make the mistake of us
ing bones that have been boiled or lain
out and sun bleached. Some of the
most essential feeding value of the
bone has thus been lost. especially as
feed for growing chicks.
For growing chickens. after two
weeks old. mix the bone meal with
corn chops dampened with curd milk
iwater will dol. so that each bird gets
from half to one teaspoonful of the
bone meal. according to age.
Extra large and quick growth bone
in fowls means more meat. and more
meat means Z to 10 cents per pound.
For laying hens feed as above. only
that each hen gets one tablespoonful
twice or three times a week. according
as think she may need an extra al
lowance. Hens need more when they
are laying regularly or Noting.
Taking every advantage gained by
feeding bone-i. e.. general health of
flock. quick growth of broilers. increase
in amount of eggs. etc, over the two
years bone was fed--I figure it land
keep close account that the profit de
rived is IS per cent over the profits Of
the two preceding years This Is per
cent is attributed to the bone feed. and
the other increase in profits was cred
tied to the source from which thes
came.
Now, don't feed any overdose at first
or at any time for that matter; feed
regularly.

THE COTTON Gt. UATION.

Prices the Highest In Twenty Years.
Perplexities Of the Manufacturers.
Further remarkable advances have
taken place in the cotton markets Of
this country and Europe Within the
pass few days prices have reached the
highest level in twenty years, the
standard grade for January delivery
selling in New York at $1260 per 100
pounds. while March sold in New Or
leans at substantially thirteen cent
level top prices being followed by
some reactions under profit taking.
Cotton is selling today about $50 per
bale higher than year ago, and the
staple is something like cents per
pound better than last New Years.
The latest influence leading up to
these phenomenal prices was the De
cember bulletin of the department Of
agriculture. indicating that the crop Of
10000 will amount a 9.Nd2,000 bales
from an area of 2S.0lv0O0 acres This
estimate is materially less than had
been expected and below the popular
trade estimates of recent weeks. OPP
orators bearishly inclined insist that
the government estimates are always
much too low and that the crop to come
forward up to Aug. 81 next will prove
much greater than the figure named.
AS a matter of course. the manufac-
turers are very much disturbed, claim
ing things are going from bad to worse.
The New England mills are reported
short of cotton, some of the southern
mills have only small supplies. while
English spinners need large quantities
to keep their plants in operation. Fac
ing this is the difficulty in marketing
finished goods freely at figures which
will show profit in manufacturing
cotton at anything like the present
price of the raw staple. There is q
general disposition to curtail produc-
ton at northern mills, yet this argu-
ment is met with the counter reply
that any general action of this kind
would play into the hands of European
cotton manufacturers, said American
Agriculturist lately in commenting as
above on the cotton situation.
The production Of lint cotton is est.
mated at an average Of 1741a pounds
per acre. The estimated production by
states in pounds per acre is as follows:
Virginia. $50; North Carolina, 210:
South Carolina, 17S; Georgia, 15S.
Florida, 142;; Alabama, 1871; MISSISSIPPI
pi. 211; Louisiana. 223: Texas. 143:
Arkansas. 1856; Tennessee. 200; Nilsson
ri, 232; Oklahoma, 223, and Indian
Territory. 231.

Try Variety of Grains. With Green
stun and Cut Zone.
The great secret In making hens lay
is simply providing them with sufIi-
cient variety IF suitable food On
practically every farm there IS sufh
cient variety to furnish a properly bal
apced ration If some one will only take
the time and trouble to see thar it is
prepared.
The trouble Is that on the average
farm poultry are regarded as a side is
sue. neglected or at best fed without
care or thought. In the west every
farm has corn in abundance. and the
temptation to simply throw this grain
to the chickens is often too strong to
be resisted.
Corn. wheat, oats. barley and millet
seed are all good feeds, Some object
to corn. but 1t is highly desirable where
it not used as an exclusive diet No
grain Is satisfactory so used Any
grain when used exclusively is too
heavy and rich. too concentrated.
Something must be added for bulk.
Wheat bran makes an excellent bulk
to balance heavy. rich grain food.
and besides it has good effect in
keeping the digestive organism in con-
dition
In state of nature chickens get 9th
er than vegetable food. Insects are
part Of their bill of fare. and we must
emulate nature by furnishing them
some substitute during the winter, or
they will not do their best. Meat
scraps, cut bone and kitchen refuse
should be given them. A little cut
clover or alfalfa hay is always accept,
able.
Let them scratch in straw or litter
for part of their food. They like to
do it, and besides it prevents gorging
and the production Of too much fat
through q lazy disposition.

A HOMEMADE SLEIGH.

1t Can he Constructed at Small Ex-
pense and Answers Wen.
In some parts of the country there is
seldom sufficient snow to justify the
average farmer in buying and keeping
a high priced sleigh. Yet when there
does come sleighing, if it is only for a
few days, he needs one, or at least his
boys do, and then it is too late to buy,
even if he so desired, as every sleigh
is in use. In view of this, a Farm,
Field and Fireside correspondent tells
the boys how to make one themselves
at little expense.

HAWAIIAN SUGAR
CARGOES ARRIVE

Some of the sugar cargoes are ar
irving in time to catch good prices.
The regular daily cable report to the
local branch of the San Francisco Ma
rine Exchange told of the arrival of
four Hawaiian vessels at San Fran
cisco today. They were the S. S. En-
terprise from HilO an the banks An
drew Welch and Mohican and the bark
entine Archer from Honolulu. The
amount of sugar aboard the Enterprise
is not known here but the combined
cargoes of the three other sugar yes
sells amounted to Ais tons. The price
of sugar is $74.50 a ton in New York and
the price Is slightly lower for sugar
landed at San Francisco. The arrival
of the four vessels has enabled the SUI
gar planters to feel considerably en-
cOuraged as the higher quotation which
has been prevailing will not be lost to
Hawaiian sugar.
All of the sailing boats made longer
passages than usual. The Mohican
sailed April with 1912 tons. The An
drew Welch sailed on April 8 with l.,
524 tons and the Archer on April IS
with l,349 tons.

AMONG
HIS NEIGHBORS

WAILUEU, April ga very inter-
esting meeting Of the Improvement As
ISOLATION of Wailuku District was held
at the Court House last night, at which
1 about ten applicants were admitted to
membership. The subject of laying
the corner stone in the new school
house building was discussed at con
siderable length as to the best mode
of procedure. Finally a motion by
Judge Kepoikai carried, the sense of
the motion being that we communicate
with the government officials in Homo
lulu. asking them whether or not they
intend to celebrate the laying of the
corner stone of the new school house.
If so, that we ask for permission to
participate in the exercises, and if not
that they empower the Association to
go on with preparations of properly
celebrating the occasion. A subsequent
motion by Judge Mckay to the effect
that resolutions be adopted signifying
the intention of the meeting carried.
The next subject which was discuss
ed for over an over an hour was the
question Of changing the name of the
Association from the Improvement AS
ISOLATION of Wailuku District to the
Improvement Association of the Second
Judicial District. George o. Cooper of
Hama, who had been admitted as a
member at a previous meeting, gave it
is his opinion that it would be to the
interests of all that the Association be
made one to cover the whole island. G..
b. Robertson, w. A. Mckay and w.
j. COelho favored the present name
and spoke at length in support of the
Association as 1t is. w. F. Crockett,
w. G.. Scott and several others Spoke
in favor of an amendment, SO did A.. n.
Kepoikai. The question was finally
settled after more than one hours' dis
cussion, by the following amendment to
the constitution introduced by a. n.
Kepoikai, THAT the name of this
Association be changed from The I'm
provement Association of Waikiki Dis |
trict to the Improvement Association of
the Second Judicial Circuit" The meet |
ing was a very interesting one, in fact |
the best since the beginning of the as

got around. She came off in a few
hours at high water.
The vessel is now being used by Cap
tain Niblack in securing data and gen.
eral information for the light house and
buoy service. His purpose now is to
secure information as will enable him to
make recommendations to the light
house board to install such aids to ma
VACATIONS as will make the place safe
for vessels to enter at the present time.
He has not completed his work in this
respect so nothing has been decided re-
garding the particular changes or adj
ditions that may be made. 1t is hardly
likely that a lighthouse will be INSTALL
ed or recommended for the place at the
present time.

DATA FOR
PEARL HARBOR
CAPTAIN NIBLACK WILL REPORT
ON BEST MEANS OF MAKING
EVA HARBOR NAVIGABLE.

Captain Niblack, the commander Of
the U. S. S. IroquOis, came up from
Pearl Harbor today to attend to some
matters relating to the light house
service and other details of business.
He says that the Iroquois win probably
her work in time to return to
Honolulu tomorrow. 1t is possible
however that things may not be finish
ed and, in such an event, the craft will
remain longer. He expects to get back
to the vessel this afternoon.
Captain Niblack states that the YES
sci was uninjured by going on the reef
at Pearl Harbor entrance last Friday.
The reason she came to touch was that
instead of a vessel entering the channel,
having to steer by closed ranges, she
has to keep them open, There is very
little leaway in making the entrance
and a heavy wind carried the Iroquois
out of the line of the channel and she

OLYMPIA NOT
At KAANAP. ALI.

The bark Olympic has not arrived at
Kaanapali The report brought last
week that the bark had made the Maui
port from Honolulu was incorrect and
unless she has made Kaanapali either
yesterday or today, she is still overdue.
The vessel sailed from Honolulu April
16 in ballast for Kaanapali. She was
evidently blown out of her course by
the strong trades. She had not made
Kaanapali up to Saturday. News of
the failure of the vessel to arrive was
reported by the steamer Claudine which
arrived yesterday morning from Maui
ports.
The ship Bangalore arrived safely at
Kahului from Honolulu last Thursday,
after being out Il days. She will start
loading sugar this week.
The ship \. j. Ropes has about finish
ed loading sugar at Kahului and will
be ready for sea today or tomorrow. She
goes to Delaware Breakwater.

ARMY BOUGHT
CARGO COAL

The army department has inaugural
ed a new rule. Heretofore the local
quartermaster has genrally purchased
the coal for the transport service, in
the open market, but last week the en-
tire cargo of the schooner David Evans
amounting to 1900 tons was purchased
by the army. The cargo is now being
discharged at Naval Wharf No. 1. The
army people have not kept much of a
supply of coal on hand so the cargo
from the Evans which came from New
castle will make quite good sized pile
with which to start operations. The
purchase of this cargo indicates that
the War Department intends continu-
ing to operate the transports to and
from this port.
