INFANT MORTALITY.

The attention of the Town Council at
directed to the fact that out of eighty
four infants who died in December,
forty-four of them had died of dysen-
terry. An investigation with a view of
tracing the source of the disease was
authorized. Under the best of condi-
lions attacks of dysentery are very
prevalent among children in warm
weather, but in a large majority of
cases the lives of the little ones can be
saved by the used of Chamberlain g
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
This remedy always brings prompt re-
lief, and has never been known to fail.

PLIGHT OF PET PUSSY

There is pet cat on the steamer
Korea which turned gray in one night
during the liners last voyage to the
Orient
The cat was in the Korea s hold at
Hongkong when the matches were bat
tened down and food of deadly for
maldehyde gas turned into the interior,
to rid the hold of rats, cockroaches and
other vermin. Two days later, when
the matches were removed, the men
found the cat below, but it's fur was
gray instead of black The cat sur
vived, although every rat and cock
roach had been suffocated.

There will be no more blasting con-
nected with the work of clearing OUT
the AIakea slip or if one or two more
shots may be found necessary there
will be such small charges used as to
be heard less than a block away. Prac-
ticaIIy the slip is finished and it only
remains now to clean off the bottom,
when the dredging will be through.
The contract, which includes the build
ing of the wharf as well as the dredg-
ing work is about half done.
The sea wall along the Kilauea side
is completed as high as the mean tide
level and about two-thirds along the
Aiakea slip is in, where the forms are
now going in for the upper wall. Or
the tide-level wall there only remains
to be put in the connecting length be-
tween the two slips at the end OF the
wharf and the unfinished third in the
Alakea slip, work upon which will take
at least another two months with
favorable weather conditions.
In putting in these concrete walls
provision had been made for their
cracking, inevitable in walls of this
material of the length of these because
of the contractions and expansions OF
varying temperatures. Weak spots
were left in the construction SO that
in the shock of blasting they would
crack at right angles to the face and
not diagonally These cracks in the
concrete have been commented upon
by these who did not know the pur-
pose for which they were planned.
In regard to the heavy blasting which
has been going on in the course of
the work it is pointed out that the
old stone buildings close at hand have
not been affected in the slightest,
showing that at no time have the
fears expressed by some for the safety
of some of the more modern buildings
been justified.
PETS RECEIVE LAST HONORS.
"Heine'' the pig mascot of the bark
w. B. Flint, will make no more visits
to Honolulu with the sugar packet,
having come to an untimeiy end
falling down a hatch as the
vessel lay at the dock in San Fran
cisco a week or two ago. Heine was
of some value as pork, but still there
was no thought of chops or sausages
when the mascot was hauled back on
deck. Sorrowfully the sailors sewed
their pet up in canvas, weighted the
package and slid it off a grating in the
presence of Captain Hansen. the crew
and some visiting sailors, friends of the
deceased.
Spot the trick dog of the ship Ar
thur Sewa1l, was a better sailor than
Heine. He fell down no matches. nor
missed his footing on the ladders, but
death came to him during the long
voyage of the ship from Cavite to Ho-
nolulu after the supply of condensed
milk had given out and salt horse be-
came his rations. Mrs. Gaffry, the
shippers wife, gave orders that the
proper respects should be paid to Spot
ties remains and it was sorrowful
crew who saw the weighted form splash
into the deep a thousand miles from
shore.

A LAND OF TERROR.

1t was terrible story brought by
the wires yesterday Of an empire de-
vastated, of magnificent city crushed
and shattered and attacked by fire; of
hundreds Of lives, lost, property de-
stroyed and inhabitants fleeing for
their lives. Such reports as filtered
over the wrecked and broken wires
from the west coast brought dismay to
all and keen anxiety to those who have
friends and relatives in the American
Italy.
The extent of the catastrophe is as
vet only Indicated 1t may be worse
than the wires have told, and their tale
is one of widespread disaster and DESC
lation. Still, it is we'll to remember
that these reports come from a popu-
lation terrorized by an awful and I'M
looked for calamity. Terror is the pa
rent of exaggeration. Men are prone
in seasons of great stress to magnify
and dslort. The first estimates of de-
struction are usually beyond the facts.
Those who have friends on the west
coast should not jump to the conclusion
that population has been wiped out
and whole state destroyed Even the
hrst estimates of killed and injured are
but a small percentage of the swarm
ing population of the cities of Califor-
MIA.
At best it is a terrible disaster. CAL
afornia, the golden. the land of palms
and orchards and perpetual summer,
the Mecca of the sick and rest-seek-
ing, changed to a land of desolation
and terror!

Hoo Sickness.

Recently there has come to my

The Road System.

Roads are now breaking up and We
have an opportunity to judge to some
extent whether the new road law has
proved to be wise piece OF legisla-
ton. The evidence in this locality is
all in it's favor We have fewer mud
holes; the water is seldom running
over the bridges; there are more cul-
verts in place; and practically all of
the bridge approaches are in good con-
dition. All this indicates that the
new system is good. The management
is better than under the old system.
No more hours are put in on the roads,
but the work is applied to better adj
vantage. Under the old system fire.
quently strip of road would be we'll
nigh impossible for days and some-
times weeks because the road boss
could not leave his work to attend to
it. And when he did get ready he
put in half of his time getting out
other help. Strange teams did not
work together to advantage. Under
the new system all this is improved.
The road boss now has only one Job.
and that is to work roads, and as a
rule he is we'll qualified His men and
teams do more work in one day than
the farmers did in two or three under
the old system. Mud holes are filed
in, grades are cut down, bridges are
raised. bottom roads are graded IN,
and the work is done early in the sea-
son SO we get the benefit of it during
the summer We have such COM

road boss can be called promptly to

roads are made passable and the main
roads to town are kept IN good shape

Successful Hog Breeder Gives Some
Valuable Pointers.
| Editor Times Republican.
Every spring there is more or less
complaint about young sows having
| trouble az farruM ing TIME. nus Is que
| to several causes. One reason, per-
haps, more than others. is mating short
sows to young males. A short SOW,
inclined to be chuffy, should always be
discarded, but if kept for breeding pur-
poses, be sure to mate with a well-de-
veloped, vigorous male Breeding gifts
under months old has disastrous re-
suits. The entire ration composed of
corn will very often cause the loss of
half the pigs. Lack of exercise makes
the muscles flabby. and when the ALL
important time comes the young moth
err finds herself unable to bring forth;
especially is this true when allowed to
get very fat. Being kept in small,
dark pen will often cause trouble where
other conditions are favorable. BY not
combining the SOW until her actions in
dictate she is having serious thoughts,
and not feeding but little corn for a
week beforehand, one will be better
satisfied with his pig crop. Bran and
clover hay or better. alfalfa, fed with
little corn for one month before far
rowing, or for that matter during the
| whole CESSATION period, will be used
in the future by the majority of sue
cessful swine raisers. For the benefit
of those who anticipated trouble with
their young sows, I will give you my
recipe, which has never failed for my
self or those who have told: AS soon
as the SOW makes her bed give her
half pint of oil meal in some warm
bran mash or dish water; this will
cool her blood. act as a severe laxative,
and will always produce quick action
in narrowing, and the result is a live
SOW and live litter instead of either
or both being dead. Then feed but lit
tie solid food for two days; if the litter
is large, say eight to twelve bring her
up to full feed in two weeks: be gov
erned always by size of litter. The
last month was so stormy and bad we
need be very careful this spring.

the hog disease; they took to market a
large number of well fatted brood
sows. think the herd soon recovered.
AS III is in point, / will re-state a
similar case which l reported to the
Nebraska Farmer about two years ago.
In Speaking with a fellow farmer who
di i!a sslRa pnlb lie: g sHS them the
disease" In the spring or early sum-
mer he had a half to two-thirds of a
common wagon box of shelled corn ex-
posed to rain and hot sun, hence de-
cayed or rotted more or less. He want
ed to use the wagon. He drove to the
hog pen and scooped all the corn into
the hog pen. RESULT hogs sick, con-
tinuing two or three months and all
dead but one or two head.
These four cases coming to my no.
tice, / thought to send them ON for
what they are worth when hog disease
becomes general scourge. 1t is usu-
ally in the winter, and my theory is
some man drew load of green corn
and green stalks all at one feed and
gorged them and started the disease.
4 think another cause of hog disease
is in the cold weather to allow hogs
to sleep in manure or a hay or straw
stack The heat of the hogs under said
conditions becomes very great. They
come out of their hot bed all steaming
hot in the cold weather. Result: they
cough very hard, get thin in flesh and
tho you may feed them all the corn
they can eat, you can't put ON any
flesh. l am inclined to think these
five causes, added to other injudicious
methods of treatment, cause disease
and help to cause the spread of hog
disease at large Many think you can't
kill hog, no matter what your treat
