The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1908-07-21
BY ]. N. DENsHAM.

So far as the Hawaii is concerned
the race may be summed up in II few
words. Two days of calm, nine days of
light winds and four days of good blow
with the wind dead aft when, by all
precedent, it should have been ON the
quarter.
During the first two days the Hawaii
made 125 miles, and most of that dis
lance was made during the first and
last four hours of the time. After
leaving San Pedro it was clearly shown
that she was no light-weather boat, for
the Lurline ran rapidly through her
lee and both the Gwendolyn and Lady
Maud gained on her during the run
to the east end of Catalina Island.
Night fell with the Lady Maud well
in the lead and going strong with a
local draft off the island. The Lur.
line and Gwendolyn were beginning 10
feel the breeze, and the Hawaii was
rolling round in the doldrums.
When daylight broke Sunday morn
ing none of the other yachts were
in sight and there seemed little chance
of passing San Clemente Island to
windward. This island lies about thirty
miles to the southeastward of Catalina
and forms windbreak which often
shuts off the westerly wind from the
channel between it and the mainland.
All day Sunday we rolled around
with only few battling puffs to give
us Roadway, and strong current was
setting us rapidly to leeward. BY noon
Captain Harris gave up all hopes of
weathering Clemente Island and we saw
that we would be lucky to get from
under its lee by nightfall. The Skid
bladnir came from the other side of the
island under power and sent boat
alongside. Captain Garbutt said that
he had left the other three yachts all
punched together about thirty miles to
windward, on the other side of the
island, and that they had caaght a
northwest breeze.
All that night VIC had practically no
wind and we were glad to find our
selves out of sight of Clemente Island
on Monday morning. From that time
on we were never without wind of sonll
kind, but it was often 30 light that the

oh "swift to go and slow to come"
What of your wind driv n speed!
What of the hope and loYe yod bore,
A people s loyal creedi
Yet; as mother soothes her boy
Who fails to win prize,
oh slow TO come, we cannot blame,
But only sympathize.
Well shipmates all, the yachts are in,
With bow and stern lines fast;
All snug their sails with tautened brails
The first and, yes, the last.
With her squaresail spread to the fol
lowing wind
And every sheet Stacked free,
The yacht Hawaii came sailing by
A trifle lesurely.
The Northeast trades blew lazily
Nor fiecked the sea with foam;
But, though she's late Mt any rate
It's good to have her home.
oh "swift to go and slow to come, F"
Though tardily you came
Back from the sun-kissed land beyond

were hunureCs OF power craft To lee
ward of us, and these kept up regular
bombardment of salutes, which kept
one man busy at our cannon contins
ually returning the compliment We
were greatly surprised at the way the
Lady Maud forged ahead in the light
air. She has the appearance of being
designed for anything but soft
breeze, but she slipped along through
the water and kept steadily ahead Of
us. Perhaps L was looking trifle dis
consulate at seeing everything else
strung out in front of us, for Captain
Harris slapped me on the shoulder and
said, 'Don't get disheartened, Jack
The Hawaii wasn't built for a FIVE
knot breeze. wait till we get in the
trades and then watch the log spin.n
This suggested the following Jingle:
"Chcer up, my lads, the wind is light,
| Fair weather boats are they;
On sea like glass they quickly pass,
| For this is not our day.
But wait unvil, the islands passed,
We hit the northeast trades,
And then. indeed, wen show them
speed;
Cheer up, my merry blades"
4 The swift little launch Orient and
the steamer Hermosa were the last to
salute us and then we were able to
give more attention to what was ahead.
BY 3 O'Clock we were approaching
the lee of Catalina and the wind was
dropping fast. The Lurline was ahead
and to windward about two miles The
Lady Maud was directly to windward
about one mile and the Gwendolyn dead
ahead about one and a half miles We
rolled around in this position till nearly
shutdown. Then the Lady Maud caught
n slant of wind off the island and
forged ahead of the Lurline until she
was nearly hull down. The Lurline
caught some of the puff and followed,
while the Gwendolyn managed to spank
into it and all three of them drew
away-heading to the northward OF
Clemente Island.
So that you may understand our po-
!, sition, an explanation of the position
! of these two islands is in order. From
,, San Pedro to San Diego the trend OF
! the shore of the mainland is roughly
southeast Both Catalina and Clemente
run practically parallel to the main
land. The former is twenty-five miles
: due south from San Pedro and the lat
/, ter about south and east from Catalina
. thirty miles.
y We were, then, in big wind pocket
a -Catalina due to windward, the pre-
9 vailing wind being west by norths
Clemente to the south, and the main
land to the north and east. The recog-
n ni2ed way of eluding this has always
/ been to run oil the wind until well to
leeward of Clemente, where there are
9 generally light airs enough to take you
v out into the open sea and clear wind
y Captain Harris did not do TINS Tor the
n very sufficient reason that Capt. SIN
9 clair of the Lurllne was making Tor
n the northerly end of Clemente. The
. latter's reason for doing this was,
}. probably, that one week before on his
u return from San Diego, under Identical
6 weather indications, he had lain in the
doldrums for twenty-four hours off the
southeast end of Clemente island.

LIVE STOCK AND THE SOIL.

The Palouse valley, in Washington,
has long been noted for its wheat
productions. But there, as here, they
find that wheat grown constantly
without the rotation of crops, ex-
hausts fertility, and are turning more
attention to live stock farming to
keep up-the soil. One of the WASH
ington agricultural college professors
says that with every ton Of wheat
shipped from the farm $S worth of
plant food leaves the farm, all Of
which could be saved and returned to
the soil by feeding the products chief
ly to live stock He believes that the
best returns from land idle in sum-
mer-fallow could be secured from
peas, rape or alfalfa, which could be
fed to hogs at great profit, as well
as being of great value in returning
to the soil those properties which had
been taken out by the continued
growing of wheat. He said the i'm
poverishment of the soil took place
despite the intervening summer-fal-
low.
This is just as applicable here as
in the State of Washington, and our
farmers are coming more and more
to understand these things.

OAT BY-PRODUCTS.

There is a class of by-products
from the cereal mills of Iowa that
merit greater attention on the part
of Our feeders. In this class are the
oat feeds, flours, middlings, shorts,
and possibly the bran, too. may be
used. These feeds are we'll up in
protein and have appreciable percent
ages of fat, which render them par
ticularly desirable as hog feeds, and
possibly their use may with profit be
extended to horses. This is specially
true of the -four, middlings and
shorts. The bran, however. has too
high a content of crude fiber to give
it very great value as flesh pro-
ducer or to render 1t palatable to the
feeding animal These are compare
lively new feeds, and their practical
worth has not been definitely estab-
lished, but from their chemical COM
position it seems evident that expert
mentation with practical feeding
tests will fully demonstrate their
ranking we'll with similar wheat prod
ucts, If not outclassing them.-Louis
G. Michael.

Clock With SinoIe Wheel.

A clock with but single wheel
is described in Work. 1t was con-
structed by a Los Angeles clock
maker, and its single wheel is more
correctly described as a perforated
disc, which is kept under rotary ten
sion by two weights. In place of a
pendulum and gearing, 81 A-inch
steel balls are used, which operate
consecutively. When the timepiece is
set, one of the metal balls is caused
to descend, in zigzag fashion, on two
pivoted plates. one placed above the
other. After the ball has descended
to the lower plate, its course is di-
rected in such a way that it enters
one of the holes at the lower end Of
the perforated disc, releasing the disc
and then proceeding in its rotary mo-
tion the space of one hole. The time
consumed by this disc is pierced with
so holes for one hours time. The
forward motion and stopping is effect
ed by the unlocking and locking of a
spring.

PURE BREEDS ARE BEST.

Even a mongrel flock deserves
good care and will pay for it, but no
one should be satisfied with such a
flock. The farmer is the last one to
realize the greater possibilities of
standardized stock. 1t does not
cost any more to keep pure-bred stock
than it does to keep mongrels or
scrubs, and the returns are much the
largest from the good stock.
Do not be deceived into believing
that practical qualities and fancy
points cannot be bred in the same
fowl. Indeed, there is absolutely no
excuse for keeping poor stock. The
well-to-do poultryman-farmer can af-
ford the best and the one with less
money cannot afford to breed poor
stock, as there is more profit in the
pure breeds.
The best breed of fowls depends
considerably upon who is behind It,.
Some people do not seem to be able
to make a success with any breed,
while good poultrymen can make a
success with any breed in existence.
Remember that feed is more import
ant than breed in most cases. Com
bine breed and feed and good man.
agement, and you have all the ele-
ments that are necessary to make
poultry profitable.-Epitomist.
