MANURE CAR IN THE STABLE.

When large amount of manure
must be removed from the stabling of
animals a manure car will be found a
great labor saver and when properly
arranged prove advantageous in hand
ling the excrement. There are large
number of barns where a manure car
could be used to an advantage, but on
account of the cost of installing COM
mercial plant there is nothing of the
kind in use.
The diagram herewith taken from
Prairie Farmer shows a homemade
manure car, that can be installed by
any farmer who is handy with ham,
mer and saw. The track to run the
car upon can be made by spilking to-
gether two 2x4 we'll sized to furnish a
smooth track for the car to operate.

The Michigan supreme court has
decided that the evidence submitted
by phonograph is admissible The
question was raised in a case where
a hotel proprietor was trying to
prove how the value of his property
had been diminished by the prox-
unity of railroad and the blowing
of whistles and the shunting of cars.
The monograph won the case. We
believe the admission of such evil
dence to be a novelty. Higher courts
might override the decision. Imagine,

Facts About Hilo and the Island
of Hawai-.

Hawaii is about the size of the State
of Connecticut: she is larger than all
the other Hawaiian Islands combined,
having 4,015 square miles out of 6.49s
for the whole group.
Connecticut has a population of s0S.-

46,s4s.
Congress has just appropriated mon
ey for breakwater which viii give
Hilo a harbor twice as big as that Of
Honolulu.
The breakwater will place in touch
with Americas unlimited market the
following lands. which an official report
Of the Federal Agricultural Bureau
shows to be idle on the island now:
80. 0oo acres good tobacco land;
200. 900 acres good coffee land;
10000 acres good rubber land
ion 600 acres good pineapple land;
100. 600 acres good general agricultural
land.
In addition to these lands there are
thousands of acres producing tropical
fruits which are wasted for lack Of
TRANSFORMATION facilities. The United
states in 1905 spent s35, 100000 for trop-
,caI fruits and only 100000 Of that

acquisition talk. The Japs make good
laborers. apt and intelligent, ambi-
tious and restless, and rather given
TO incipient strikes. They drift into
the higher classes of labor in town
and about the plantations, and leave
in quite large numbers for the main
land. The plantation owners are
furnishing the labor best adapted for
the work in the cane and rice fields
because Of his similar native occupa-
ton; he is steady. more law abiding.
more efficient and content. There is
practically no American labor on the
plantations, and in rice fields to be

Therefore, why not let them come
over? It is the men not directly in

pose importing the Chinese.

his product Immediately without any

true of tropical products. Tobacco IS
not marketable until it has been cur
ed: sugar must be extracted from the
cane by an expensive milling process,
requiring larger investment of capital
than for an equal acreage with us.
Moreover one has to wait three years
for the first crop Of sugar, four or
