No FURNITURE
At BOYS HOME
Money Is Lacking for the
Interior Equipment at
kaIihi.

What is home without furniture 2
Not much, if the opinion of some NAV
be taken into consideration. Although
the new building known as the Ka-
lihi Boys Home, built for the non
leprous boys who were brought, over
from Molokai some time ago, is now
completed-and President Mark P.
Robinson of the Board of Health is
planning a great housewarming and
luau there on Saturday-it has no in
terror furnishings, and, from the pres
ent outlook. there doesn It appear to be
good prospects to get any until the
Legislature meets.
The BOYS, of whom there is con-
siderable number, are now living in
quarters that are none of the best. and
it was planned to move them into the
new building as soon as it was com
pleted. But the lads will have to wait.
The sum of $4,000 as loan appro-
priation was given by the last Legis-
lature to build the home for these boys,
and of that amount only about $1,000
remains. ne pTlCS WAS
$12,779 for erecting the building, and
in addition to this there was a good,
sized sum paid out for plumbing and
other incidentals.
Auditor Fisher has been consulted on
the matter to find out whether there
is any way by which the money for
furniture and fixtures for the building
could be secured in the near future,
but the present status of affairs leaves
it up to the Legislature to appropriate
r,ore money. For maintenance of the
bone, $4,000 was appropriated, but this
cannot be applied to the purchase of
Interior furnishings.

Fast Walking Horses.

It is claimed by those who have
trained many horses that, taking the
colt when training first begins, they
can be trained to walk over four miles
per hour. The walking gait is the
most important one to the farm and
road horse. The mistake with many
In training young horses is, that they
are too soon put to trotting, which is
a gait they more readily learn than
fast walking. A farmer who has long
trained his own colts to fast walking
tells us that his horses with the corn
cultivator do one-half more work in
the corn field than the horses of his
neighbor thar were never trained to a
rapid walk. In these times of scarce
help on the farm that is an important
consideration.
1t Is only question of little pa
thence and persistence in training
colts or young horses to walk fast, if
they are we'll bred. Good breeding
comes in here as we'll as in other
things, as well bred horse can be
trained in any gait better than others.

Selling Soil Fertility.

Everything we sell from the farm
represents certain amount of soil
fertility. The one exception, perhaps,
Is butter. 1t is difficult to trace but
ter fat as direct drain on the soil.
1t Is said that ton of wheat re-
moves between eight and ten dollars
worth of soil fertility, and that the
farmer never gets 1t back. OF course,
there are ways or placing it by the
proper rotation and stock raising, but
the dairy farmer who sells butter or
cream, stops the leak before it hap
pens.
The difference Is the wheat farmer
sells the raw material, while the dairy
farmer sells only the finished product
in the shape of butter, and pork, If
he feeds hogs, or cattle, if he raises
calves with the skim milk.
If part of the skim milk is fed to
chickens, so that eggs and poultry
are sold, the manufacturing process
is carried still further and the ma
terial sold off the farm carries very
small percentage of fertility with it,
in fact, the raising of the poultry sup
plies more fertility than is sold a good
many times over.-Epitomist

Fat and Partially Fat Sheen.

1t is altogether probable that many
stockmen will feed sheep this fall for
the first time, and they may not be
acquainted with all the conditions
leading to the best and most promis-
ing situation in feeding lines. The
first thing to determine will be what
to buy, says the Homestead. VIII it
be thin sheep, or those that carry
more flesh? Thin sheep will gain
more than fat ones, the general thrift
of the two classes being equal. Thin
ewes will gain from one-fourth to
one-third more than those in good
flesh, and this probably explains why
the thin, good-mouthed ewes are
sought more than those in better con-
dition. 1t is well-known fact
among sheep feeders that females
finish much more. quickly than males,
although thin two or three-year-old
wethers will make rapid gains.
We have said that thin sheep will
take on flesh faster than the sheep
that is in good order, and we may say
that 1t will require more time to fin
ish them than those that are partially
fat Young lambs usually require
more time to finish than older sheep,
because they grow considerably
under fattening conditions before
they begin to finish. Old Western
sheep are harder than lambs, and
this will hold true in the field as we'll
as in the feed lot. Older sheep are
not nearly so liable to gorge them
selves on green feed or so liable to
over-eat while in the feed lot.
The feeder should make up his
mind that when he is feeding thin
sheep it viii be necessary to feed
them long time. II sheep are to be
fed only short time, they should be
partially fat when purchased. Thin
ewes can be started by turning them
in corn fields, grazing them on good
pasture and by feeding fodder.

He had noticed the bright face, the

And he felt that if Emily's dearest

The maid ran the electric close to

The New. Strawberry Bed.

Considering the ease with which
small bed of strawberries can be
grown we wonder why more farmers
do not grow them.
We read of renewing old straw
berry beds, which is all right, If it is
the best one can do, but owing to in
sect enemies and other causes would
! not recommend the renewal of an
old bed for the ordinary farmer.
We change the bed from year to
year, here and there over the garden.
trying to get as far away from insect
pests and fungus diseases as possible.
AS soon as we plow for garden
truck we plow enough for the new
bed. Weslay off the bed in rows four
feet apart with the garden hand cul-
tiyator; in this way we back up
loose spot every three feet, as we
would for a cabbage plant, only
larger. We then go to last years bed,
which by the way is young and has
never fruited, and dig up good hardy
plants, and when we can find enough
of them, we dig those that are not
going to bloom, for they will at once
produce runners instead of the bloom.
We like to have hunk of dirt to
each plant. If conditions are favor
able we do not water when setting,
il otherwise we water them as set.
We use pan or shallow box to
carry the plants from the old to new
bed. II for some reason we delay
our bed until the fruit is set on
plants, we clip off runners and fruit
stems.
We cultivate frequently with hand
hoe and one-horse cultivators; good
cultivation means much towards sue
cess.
We throw the runners around for
awhile, then allow them to set, be-
tween the rows, and widen as the sea-
son advances. When several run
ners get set, it will necessitate pull
ing out by hand some of the weeds.
We experimental some with va
rieties, but soon found two varieties
which suited us and stayed with them.
One of these deserves especial atten-
tion; 1t is Seeding which originated
near here, and was named by the
originator, 'Hoosier." 1t has very

! greenhouses of the department, were
certainly consigned to the mature
taking" class. But knowing the doc
tors hard.headed successes the posi-.
BILE imputation falls to the ground,
AS the story goes, one of the green
houses of the department Is fre-
quented In considerable numbers by
medium sized black ant, attracted
by the presence of mealy bugs and
plant lice on the hot-house plants.
AS Is well known ants are especially
fond Of the nectar secreted by those
insects. Some years ago a colony of
Liberian coffee trees were started In
the greenhouse. At the bases of the
leaves of these coffee trees can be
found very small nectar-secreting
glands. The ants soon discovered this
and slipped the nectar. Then the
idea seemed to occur to some clever
ant that these nectar glands would
be the best place in the world for the
mealy bugs 10 live and grow fat and
In consequence secrete a great deal
more nectar than thny would if left
on other parts of the leaves. But
the nectar glands on the coffee tree
leaves were each too small to ac-
conimodate even one mealy bug. So
the word was passed around and the
ants grawed the edges of the glands
and enlarged them so that each would
support a good-sized mealy bug,
which the ants then carried to it.
The mealy bug throve exceedingly.
The gland was enlarged still further
and whole family of mealy bugs
was raised in the same hole. Thus
a custom grew up and many such
greatly enlarged glands were found
in few months, the ants reaping a
plentiful supply of their beloved nec-
tar. Here then, said DR.. Howard,
was an ant apparently taking advan-
tage of an opportunity which was
new not only to the experience of the !
individual but new to the experience
of the race, and If we adopt the most
reasonable of the definitions of in
stinct, there seems to have been dis
played intelligence of a high order.

Farm Notes.

Why is 1t that so many farmers
neglect to provide water for their
hogs? Hogs need drink OCCASION
ally when they want it, just the same
as anybody else.
The scratching shed does not re-
quire to be anything elaborate. Any
old building may be utilized for this
purpose just so there is plenty of
sunshine. no winds, and dry floor.
Give hens an extra allowance of
grain at night, scratching 1t amongst
the litter, so that the fowls can be
induced to exercise before they get
their regular breakfast.
Give the mother sheep the most
nourishing ration you can. They
need 1t for milk. Wheat bran is
good; clover hay is nice. Plenty of
water and some roots now and then
will help out.
The best prevcct1..Te OF garget Is
clean. careful milking and vigorous
rubbing and kneading Of the affected
part of the udder at the first sign OF
trouble. Three or four days of such
treatment will usually ward of the
disease.

CURSE OF CHILD LABOR.
Disastrous Effects of Early Toll Of

the Youths Of the Nation.
Disastrous effects of child labor up
on the race are dwelt upon by DR..
John V. Shoemaker in an editorial
in the December issue of the Monthly
Cyclopedia and Medical Bulletin.
"Child labor he says, 'tends to
make the youth an undesirable citizen.
when child arrives at its twelfth
year it reaches the age of adolescence,
which lasts until about the eighteenth
year. During the stage the organs at
tain their full development; the bones
and muscles grow both in thickness
and extent.
"This is ali accomplished through
good exercise and nutritious food, but
when the necessary exercise Is pre-
vented by the nature Of the work per-
formed by the individual these mus
cles atropy, and the results are general
weakening Of the whole body. The
child fails to develop physically be-
cause it has no play; it fails to de-
velop mentally because 1t does not so
to school and stimulate the gray mat
ter.
"Other effects are the loss of educa-
ton, which makes them undesirable
citizens, the too early strain upon the
nervous system, the startling spirit Of
independence because they feel they
form a support of the family, the loos-
ening of family ties, rowing in the
streets and knowledge of vice and
profanity which they secure from
their constant contact with the men
in their environment"
