further about the matter. The

Dr.. Edwards Letter

Levuka, Hji:-Three days from
Samoa brought me to a new and
strange country. 1t is strange
because it is different from all
other South Sea islands that !
have visited. One would imagine
thai. these islands would have sim
liar characteristics, but they have
not. 1t was in the early morning
when the screws of the steamer
ceased to revolve, and on get.
ting up at sunrise | looked from
the portfolio upon a picture Of
most vivid beauty. This is a
small, lofty island, its high jag
ged rocks being covered with yer.
dure that looks like velvet. AT
the foot of the rocks nestle num-
berless white and red houses,
seeming to look down on the
vessel Like so many gorgeously
hued birds. On the wharf we're
clustered strange figures, unlike
any of the natives yet seen. We
are now out of Polynesia and pa
puan blood shows in the people.
These Fijians look like typical
savages. Their hair is Like a stiff
mop sticking out above their fac
es; features approach the Neg
rOid type, with thick lips and flat
nose, while their color ranges
from deep copper to actual black
Their expression is wild and I'M
tanned, and several of the more
timid passengers said they would
never go ashore among such pco-
pie.
But these seeming savages are
merely pacable labOrerS employed
by the steamship company to
load and unload their cargC2s.
They come from alltha Islands
hereabOuts, and many Of them
are Solomon islanders. The Fl
jians are quiet and friendly, bit
fifty years ago this was the
worst cannibal island in the
world. Then it was unsafe to 60
ashore; three years ago an En-
ish lady went through the inter
ior of the islands with no com.
panion except a native guide.
FIJI appears sinister and forbid.
ding, even in its physical charac-
teristics, and her people carry
out the idea. In this it is diff
ferent from comic opera Tonga,
or sweet Samoa. To the active
imagination the black and ragged
peaks of the hills of FIJI which
encircle the bay of Suva, suggest

snV Daoch past W Tile iSldIlU
! early youth when human flesh
was considered the delicacy for q
banquet FIJI is beautiful but il
is a sort of devilish beauty which
attracts and repels at the same
time. One cannot help a shud.
der as he sees these savage eyed
islanders passing among daintily
dressed women on the streets, bu
it is all in appearance.
The fascination of FIJI is well
known to those who have spent
even a week among these great
pOpulous islands, so unlike thc
little dreamy nests of sun and al.
titlde which make up the 9th.
er lesser groups of the island
world. It is said that one of the
125,0O0 inhabitants of the FIJI
islands $1,000 are natives. In
addition to-these are numerous ST
moan islanders, their black skins
and kinky hair making one think
them true Africans. There
also many Indians, not the Ii
dians of America but those from
India who have been brought
here by the English.
1t is said that the Indians are
constantly increasing while the
natives are decreasing. 1t seems
a pity that this brawny race
should give way. Fijlans are
splendidly built, both men and
women and their appearance give
one the impression of the great
force of primitive man. Their
deterioration is another evidence
of the encroachment Of the white
man. Where the white man goes
the native gives way. 1t is said
by those who are over egohstl'
cal, that it is because off the
white mans vices.
The first object of interest that
attracts the eye on coming here
is the armed cOnstabulary, smart
lly dressed in bright blue tunlc
with helmet on the head, but
with white sulu, reaching near
lly to the knees. Legs and fee'
are bare contrasting most NEON
gruously with the smart upper
dressing. These constables, OF
policemen, are all natives, ane
thew are chiefly ornamental, fO'
there is little or no crime OF
the island. Here, as on the oIll
or islands. the most interesting
part is the interior, for at I'M
seaport towns white influence L
felt too strongly.

Kansas Should Raise Sheep

q. C.. MohEer IN the hanSdS
Farmer
While Kansas is a great 1--we
stock state, it is destined to grow
much greater in animal husban-
dry. The climate, the grains,
grasses and folders produced IN
such abundance, all combine to
make the Sunflower state a reg
ion pre-emnently adapted to
the rearing of live stock. Kan
sas has already made an envl'
able record with horses, cattle,
hogs but has fallen down woe
fully in the sheep industry, when
perhaps no state is better suit
ed for sheep raising. In the
past seven years Kansas had less
than 100000 head annually, or
about one sheep to each 200 acres
Last year the records show the
aggregate number of sheep to be
1924, and there were maintain
ed the while 1SS,949 dogs, as a
rule the implacable and relent-
less enemies of the sheep.
This affords a marvellous in
stance of where farmers and
stockmen seem studiOusly to ig-
more opportunities that offer
large returns for the invest
ment of capital and labor. While
the efforts of the few pretentious
sheepmen in X as have met
with signal s. esses, there is
scar a far in the state |
da y, but v ID be amply re-
warGed by ad g a few sheep
to his holding The food for
maintenance would not be missed,
owing to the nature of the for
aging proclivities Of sheep, and
farmers would be infinitely rich
er by their keep, not only in the
benefits of CLOSELY crOpped weeds
of various descriptions, but in
contributing to the fertility of
land and in the value of car
casses-in this manner exempG-
flying their right to be regarded,
even in this later day, as ami
mails of the golden hOOf. "
Some of the finest specimens
ever raised were reared beneath
the sunny skies off Kansas and
the heaviest fleece ever yielded
by any sheep was produced by a
Kansas-bred American Merino, it
weighed 50 pounds, was of II
months and 16'days' growth, and
surpassed the worlds record by
71s pounds.
There is no question as to Kan
sas' adaptability for profitable
sheep raiisng and Secretary Co.
+ IN contends that not less than
head should be maintained on
.ry farm in the state. They are
cleaners and cleaners, and easy
to handle. Sheep are manure
spneaders and enrich the Land
by their droppings, more than
any other class Of animals. Be-
sides they give two crops a.
year, a crop Of lambs and a crop
of WOOL and if the farmers Of
Kansas could be induced to give
sheep a trial they no doubt woulo
prove a most profitable acqui-
sition to the farms live stock.
