ABUSING THE AGRICULTURAL
DEPARTMENT.

1t so happens that the writer IS opposed
to the present administration, politically,
hence what follows cannot be called poll
tics" In the secretary of agriculture the
country has a man who knows his bus
ness; he knows what farmers want and
need because he is a practical farmer him
self and although ne and his department
have made mistakes they have done Won
derfully we'll when the small amount of
money at the NINA of the department
is considered. Consider these figures which
are authentic. TIL farm products Of the
United States during 1908 aggregated
Sc, Ale, OO0, 900, while the average appropria-
ton for the department of agriculture is
less than Sc, 100000. 1t is a fact which no
fair minded man will deny that less is ap-
propriated for agricultural work in this
country, by federal and state government
than to any other of the important indus
tries Notwithstanding the fact that agri-
culture stands first. Let us help the ag-
ricultural department rather than howl
at it's conductors because they do not al
ways spend our money as we would have
them spend 1t. It is sometimes conven-
lent to make a scapcsoat Of another and it
requires only half an eye 10 know that
the agricultural department is many times
the scapegoat for the failures or extrava-
gances of some other department.

eased liver with, sometimes, the presence
of worms. Prevention is the thing to be
done for it Is safe to say there is no cure
for cholera which may be depended upon
although. In the incipient stages 1t Is pos
sible to get the better Of 1t by the use Of
some of the remedies on the market. Keep
the pens clean, give the swine grassy runs,
clean water, not too much corn, clean and
sweet food and keep them from roofing
in the foul mud and there will be little
danger of the disease.
FEEDING CATTLE OUTDOORS.
During the summer it is an excellent
plan to feed the COWS as much as possible
out OF doors even at night, If they are
brought up from the pasture and put in
the barn or shed. Give them the bulk of
their food in the open, then just enough

DENATuREp ALCOHOL AGAIN.

Recently, in this department, we showed
how it would be impossible for the armers
Of the country to make denatured alcohol
on the farm. Many requests for informa-
ton concerning the new law and its re-
latlon to farmers makes the following
statement Of the secretary of agriculture
Of interest. Speaking of the steps he is
taking to ascertain how the new law can,
be made of value, to farmers he says: ''In
my opinion this investigation should be
thorough and include a study of the po-
tatoes grown in states where potatoes
grow abundantly, a study of the sweet
potato and the yam, the cassava and the
coontie of the south, the study Of the sor-
ghum plant, a study OF the stalks of the
Indian corn and a study Of the possibili-
tres Of producing alcohol direct from the
sugar beets Of California, Michigan and
other parts Of the country where sugar
beets grow ~abundantly." It will thus be
seen that If experiments show, as they
unquestionably VIII, that alcohol can be
produced proftably from one or more pro-
ducts Of the soil, the farming community
will profit greatly. The results Of the in
~vestigations will be watched with interest.

GENER Al SUMMARY
GENERAL SUMMARY.

GENERAL 81 MMAk1.
Hawaii: In the extreme northern part
of the Island, at Paauhau, and in the
northeastern portion of the Puma dis
trict, the mean temperature was about
IL lower than during the preceding
week, while in other sections it was
higher, the greatest difference ranging
from 1,2o to -E2@o, and occurred in the
east central portion of the HamalSua
the Hilo and Kona districts.
Maui The mean temperature Of the
week was higher than that of the pre-
eeding one from the Waikiki district
westward, and generally from II 90 to
+1.So. Tt the stations reporting lower
mean temperatures the changes were
slight. All stations i'm oahu report
higher mean temperatures than dur
ing the preceding week. On the wind
ward side of the Island the increases
were slight, while on the leeward side
they ranged from ZIP to 1902. The
mean temperatures for the week were
slightly lower than those of the preced-
ing one over the eastern half of Kau-
al and slightly higher elsewhere, but
at no station did the change equal L.
Hawaii: Heavy rains occurred from
the Puma district northumberland to the
extreme northern portion of the island,
and in this section the rainfall was
considerably more than during the pre-
ceding week, the excuses ranging gen.
orally from slightly less than 20 inches
to somewhat more than 40 inches. Over
the remaining sections of the island
the rainfall was generally in excess,
and in amounts of less than % inch.
There were but two stations that re-
ported less rainall than during the pre-
ceding week, -Honomu, Up inch, and
Pahala, -.03 inch. Maui In the Wal
luku district and the districts to the
westward of Waikiki excuses occurred
and ranging in amounts from 1928 to
-t3.2 inches. On Oahu there was a
slight excess of rainfall over the pre-
ceding week in the extreme northern
portion of the island, while all other
districts had a deficiency but which
did not equal 10 inch at any station.
Stations in northeastern and east-cen-
trail Kauai show slightly more rainfall
than during the preceding week, and
those in the southern section less, the
greatest change being 0.91
