FARMING DELAYED.

Farmers have been delayed about the blaming of their spring cr:ps on ac ount of the prolouged cold anl rainy weather. Few potatoes have been planted and gardens must wait awhile longer for the reception of seeds ard transplanted vegetable plants. One of the features of this unusual spring was the snow storm which came last Friday, April 27, which for a time caused our minds to revert to the snow blow and the shovel.

FLOODED STOCK
ON M|SsOUR|AN
Twenty-Four Head of Pedigreed
Cattle Came for Parker
Ranch.

Hawaiian cowboys on Honolulu 5 wa
terfront was the unusual sight seen yes
terday afternoon, when four or five
punchers from the Parker ranch on Ha-
wall herded twentyfour head of blood
ed stock, brought down on the Amer
lean Hawaiian steamship Missourian
from Seattle. The cattle are the latest
importation of Alfred Garter, and
they are each and every one of the
highest pedigree.
There are two dozen of the heavy
animals, and they all arrived in perfect
condition after the strenuous trip down
from the Northwest. The stock was
brought here from North Yakima,
Washington, which is situated in a
region famous for its stock raising.
There are thirteen bulls and eleven
heifers in the bunch. A special care
taker took charge of them on the way
down on the steamer, and he stated
yesterday afternoon that, notwithstand-
ing the rolling seas that the vessel met
all the way down from Puget Sound,
the cattle arrived here in as good con,
dition as the day they left. In fact,
the biggest bull of the lot, weighing
in the neighborhood of $500 pounds, is
apparently heavier than when he was
brought aboard the steamer.
The animals were driven along the
waterfront streets to the corrals of the
Union Feed Company, where they will
be kept until they are shipped to Ha-
wall on one of the Inter-Island steamers.
Besides the blooded stock which the
Missiourian brought down from the
Northwest, she carried large consign-
ment of grain, bran, and other feed.
She arrived here in good time, making
the trip down in a few hours less than
ten days. The Missourian is one of the
largest vessels of the American Hawai-
ian feet. She will load sugar here for
few days after the cargo which she
brought down has been discharged, and
will then probably go over to Kahului.

Holiday on the Front.
All the business houses on the wa

of Lincoln Day The United States
Shipping Commissioner s office was not
open, nor was the Ship Chambers, and
consequently the old captains, who
spend their time on the front during
the week, were not seen at the usual
haunts. On account of the holiday the
sailing of the Iwalani was postponed
until today. The Claudine, however,
left on her regular run last night.
Shipping Notes.
The U. S. n. T. Supply arrived at
Bremerton yesterday. She sailed from
here February 1.
The Mauna Loa arrived here yester-
day morning, bringing 525 bags of sug-
ar and considerable other freight.
The Kinau, which is due to arrive
today, will have as part of her cargo
$500 bags of Lihue sugar and $500 bags
of Hanamaulu.
c. D. Walker has built a large boat
for the purpose of landing freight at
Hama, Maui, and it was sent to that
port on the Claudine last night.
The transport Sheridan should be in
port some time this morning, probably
early. The Asia may not arrive until
later, as she is running on slow SEIZED
ule.
The Sheridan wirelessed in yesterday
that she would arrive this morning with
five days mail.
No word has been heard the last few
days from the Hilonian, which lost her
tow aNweek ago. She relayed the news
to Kahuku via the Sheridan, but, ac-
cording to the messages received yes
terday from the latter boat, she has
not "talked since. She will probably,
however, arrive in port tomorrow morn
ing with the Mohican.
The Re Au Hou, which arrived here
yesterday, brought 21,9oo bags of sugar
from Kilauea plantation.
Most of the vessels in the harbor
yesterday were decorated with flags
and bunting in honor of Lincoln s
birthday.
