GOOD WORK WITH
BIG NAVAL GUNS

Washington, Feb. Am increase
IN battle efficiency, the greatest yet
made during any one year, is the
story told by the scores of battle-ship
fleet practice in Manila bay. This.
too, although conditions of practice
last fall were more difficult than
heretofore. The Improvement with
heavy guns was over 100 per cent
greater than that of last year. These
facts are shown by the records of bat
tie practice in Manila bay received
by Commander Sims, the Inspector OF
target practice, by whom they have
been carefully tabulated.
The average percentage of hits
made by the guns was over 80 per
cent of the shots fired. and some ships
made IS to so per cent, and the in
crease in rapidity of hitting was con-
siderably over 100 per cent.
The ranges at which the battle
ships fired were from 5000 to 5000
yards, according to the power of
their guns. These ranges were un-
marked and the ships steamed on Il
course and at speed of which they
were not informed until they opened
sealed envelope just before going
Oh the range. The department also
made public information relative to
the comparative battle efficiency of
battle-ships, cruisers and gunboats at
the autum target practice of 1908.
In the standing of fleets the COM
mand of Admiral Sperry leads with a
mark of 20. with Admiral Swim
burne's Pacific fleet next with mark
of %.
The first squadron of Sperrys fleet
leads with mark of 80, with the
first squadron of the Pacific fleet sec
ond with mark of %. In the mat
ter of divisions, the first division of
Sperry's fleet leads with mark of
SO, while the first division of the
Pacific fleet is second with mark of
"a.

ply, the Wilmington is the pennant

OF the greatest institutions have gain
ed their high standard by doing the
best possible With what they have.
What the College of Hawaii needs
first is students. And the admins

waite what power 1t already has for
adapting itself to circumstances. The
idea of loading the institution with
a lot of material for which it has nc
immediate use Is not half as practical
as at least one request made by the

AGRICULTURE IN THE SCHOOLS.

There must be not only full.
Ter scheme Of public education,
but a new kind of education
adapted to the real needs of THE
farming people. .
The country schools are to be
so redirected that they shall ed
ucate their pupils in terms of the
daily life. Opportunities for train
ing toward the agricultural call
ings are to be multiplied and
made broadly effective.
This means redoubled efforts
for better country schools, and a
vastly increased interest in the
welfare of country boys and girls
on the part of those who pay the
school taxes. Education By
means of agriculture is to be u
part Of cur regular public school
work. Special agricultural
schools are TO be organized. =
President Roosevelt's Special Mes
sage to Congress.
What better approval could the
people of Hawaii have for the pro-
posed movement to devote more nr-
tention to agriculture in the public
schools Of this Territory?
President Roosevelt's special mes
sage to Congress from which this eN'
tract is taken, transmitted to Con
gress the report of the special com
mission appointed to investigate the
condition of farm life in America.
On the mainland there has been :
steady movement away from the farm
The President believes this Is due Il
causes that might be overcome.
The work of the commission point
that there are three great and imme
diate needs of country life.
First, effective cooperation amont
farmers to put them on level witt
the organized interests with whicI
they do business.
Second, a new kind Of school in til
country, which shall teach the chill
| dren as much outdoors as indoors, S
that they will prepare for countr
life instead Of, as now, for life i
town.
Third, better means of communicG
ton, including good roads and paI
eel post, which the country peopl
are unanimously, and rightly, demar
ding.
In other words, the best method {
improving the life of the men an
women who live by agriculture is
educate the children in the pursuit.
that viii adapt them to their SUI
rCundNss.
1t is quite interesting that pub
sentiment should be developing alon
these lines in Hawaii coincident wit
the Investigations that have been ca
ried on with special reference to Il
, mainland conditions.
The conclusion of the President
, Rural Commission is logical and Il
wonder is that no one has said so b

Some Pointers On E.eding Oats

Oats have been found to be an excel
lent feed and so far as chemical analy-
sis and percentage of digestibility or
nutritivr properties is concerned their
foodelements are evenly balanced.
1t is interesting to note that if 100
lbs of oahs were separated, there
would be As lbs. of hulIs and IS lbs.
solid feed matter The feeder must see
from this that there is nothing LANCER
Gus or d~estauctiv in oat hulls and that
each time he feeds 100 lbs. of oats, he
feeds As lbs. of hulls. Nature provides
the hull wife Its necessary bulkand d.
gestive properties to balance the rich
Ind heavily nourishing kernel or groat.
However, even with their many goob
qualities. whole oats, like corn, which
is entirely too heating when feed alone
as the grain ration are expensive and
sometimes danerous. Whole grain is in
fact,a most productive ource of collie
and without occasioal washed, every
! animal continouly fed whole grain
| must have it's turn at serious illness.
The best feed is an original combina-
ton of ground algalfa and sound, sweet
selected grain products. 1t is much SAT-
err and goes farther weighing q lbs.
to the bushel or 5 lbs. less than oats.
When fed dry in the same measure as
oats, there is a saving Of 5 lbs. to the
bushel or Is lbs. in the hundred, or in
money, 15c. saved on every dollars
worth of feed bought. Its strength and
fitness lie in the fact that it is exactly
balanced, is extremely palatable and
highly dlgestib'e.
The only commercial feed having
this original combination is mabe by
the Como Mills Company, st. Louis.
That the product of this company
may be highly satisfactory to feeders
is demonstrated by the fact that since
the company began operating a small
f el mill in East st. Louis. four years
a 20, it has erected two large, modern
mills in East St. Louis and in Peoria
LII. The merit of this product was rec
ognized at the jamestown Exposition,
where a jury of experts decided that
Como feed was the purest and best,
and truly the stanard of feed excellent.
The feeds made by this company are
Como Horse and Mule Feed, Creamo
Dairy Feed, and Como Hen and Chick
Feed.
Como Feeds are distributed in this

Mr.. Barker declares he will appeal
if it takes every dollar he has. His
attorney, A. Sherin, excepted to the
verdict on the grounds Of the alleged
irregular conduct Of some of the jury
ment between the time OF submitting
ting of the case, and the returning of

ing Of the affidavits upon which this
exception is based will produce a
sensation when the motion for a new

Up to last year the schools OF the

Besides the state school lands each
