beef or pork that can be made from
100 bushels of corn. Animals destroy
about twO-thirds of the total dry mat

production of humus one ton of clover
plowed under is worth as much as the
manure that can be made from three
tons of clover hauled off and fed. In
addition. there is commonly much loss
in manure.

good live stock farmer, "a graduate
of the Illinois College of Agriculture,
operating large farm, finds that he
is able 10 apply only 10 tons to the
acre of manure every seven years,
whereas he will remove from the soil
more plant food in two crops than the
,, total amount applied in seven years.

But it is possible, simple, easy and

OAHU DID WELL
IN TOURNAMENT

One of the best promotion ideas that
ever happened was certainly pulled off
by the Oahu Country Club when the
green's committee wired 70 Chicago the
result of the Tom Morris tournament.
Hawaii is not very near the top, iudg-
ing by the following clipping from a
Chicago paper, but those old link
trampers on the mainland sure know
that Hawaii is on the map and they are
just about sitting up and taking notice.
Apparently the winning score was 16
down. Hawaii was IS down, but even
the day after the tournament this paper
publishes score of 127 down, so our
good local club-swingers are not all ia
the bad by any means.
Here is, the clipping, published june

NOW READY FOR CARNEG1E'S THOUSANDS
''Ironmaster" Has Been
Notified That Con-
ditions of His Gift
Are Complied With.

That Honolulu is to have a Carnegie
Library that will be a distinct and
lasting ornament among the public
buildings of the city is now practically
assured, fulfilling the promise that the
'ironmaster made in the course of
a conversation with Governor Frear
some months ago in New York.
The Territorial Government, the trus-
tees of the Honolulu Reading Room AS
sociation and those of the Historical
Society, have done their part in max
ing the necessary arrangement that will
conform to the stipulations eXacted by
Carnegie before concluding his library
gifts. The last Legislature appropriat-
ed the sum of $4,000 per year for the
maintenance of the library of Hawaii,
and through the amalgamatiOn with the
Honolulu Reading Room Association
and the Historical Society, 1t is estimat-
ed that an additional annual income of
$4,000 will be secured for the operating
expenses of the institution.
All the details of the plan as it stands
at the present time have been forward
ed to Carnegie and His decision is ex-
pected at any time. 8All of the re-
quirements that Carnegie insists upon
for the upkeep of the libraries will be
fully complied with, and there is nc
doubt that the "ironmasterD will act
favorably on the suggestion that he
extend his liberality so as to include
the Territory of Hawaii.
100000, Sum Expected.
1t is understood that a donation of
about 100000 will be received from
Carnegie for the cost of the library
building in Honolulu. There is a pos
sibillty, however, that the amount will
be increased by $4,000, the conditions
having been more than met by the ac.
tion of the trustees of the two asso.
Citations and the appropriation by the
Legislature.
In speaking of the conditions of the
library gift yesterday Governor Freal
said that if the formal statement OF
the action of the Legislature and the
agreement between the trustees of the
Honolulu Reading Room Association
and the Historical Society and tn,
Library of Hawaii, was now before Mr.
Carnegie an early decision could be ex
pected from him.
The Governor stated that there wa
possibility that the letter did no
reach Mr.. Carnegie before his departur
for Scotland on his annual visit to hi
old home. If this is so, it will be SOM
time before word is received from him

danced round the fire, they sang songs,
they made speeches and they gave sun

former on an electric light pole that
it got short circuited and they had to
send out sixteen linemen to fix it.
As soon as the fire began to burn
low everybody had to jump over it.
The graduates went first and then fol
