LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY
From Governor Frear's Annual Report.)

- HIS industry consists mainly in the
raising and fattening of cattle and
sheep for the home market. About
l,649,377 acres of land are used for grazing
purposes There are about 13O.l77 head of
cattle, valued at 81 ,67S2775O. and about
99.535 of sheep, valued at sl26.757.5O. These
are owned mainly by 1SS persons, of whom
1875 are American citizens and only 8 are
orientals. There are employed in the in.
dustry $50 persons, of whom 44O are Amer.
lean citizens and 1876 orentals. Much of the
land is leased from the government or pri.
yate owners.
The supply of cattle Is abundant. The an
nual consumption is about l4OOo carcasses,
of which about $500 are marketed in Homo
lulu, averaging, dressed about AS pounds
and selling wholesale at from to cents
per pound. The cattle are CRASHED. Much
attention has been given of late to the In.
PRODUCTION of registered stock, principally
the Short Horn and Hereford breeds, the
introduction of new grasses, and the diyi.
sion Of large ranches into paddocks.
But little attention is paid to dairy farm.
ing Large quantities of butter and cheese
are imported.
Most of the sheep are on six large
ranches. Less has been done In the way of
improvement than on the cattle ranches,
with disastrous results which are now be-
ginning to command attention Notwith.

cases. a month, mostly from Australia The
sheep average about 80 pounds dressed and

The wool is marketed principally in Boston
at from ~ to 20 cents pound
Horses and mules are raised In consider

Hogs are not raised In as large numbers

They are raised chiefly by the Chinese, who
also are the principal consumers.
Poultry raising is not extensive. It Is un.

AS TO pELLAGRA.

A writer in Van Nordens Magazine
refutes a great many m1sstatements
regarding pellagra, or Lombardy lep-
rosy. The disease is not new. 1t is
a cerebro-spinal trouble that has been
known and identified in Italy at least
three hundred years. 1t was brought
to this country in 1883, and it has
spread slowly throughout the country,
but chiefly in the South.
It appears first in the form Of a
rash-a dry scaly eruption upon the
parts of the body exposed to the sun.
The neck, for example. The eruption
at length dries up, and then the stom-
the spine and the brain become in
volved, and the victim of the disease
not infrequently dies violently insane.
The course of the disease is generally
slow, sometimes covering twenty
years before death brings relief to the
sufferer.
Beyond all doubt the cases in the
South can be traced to Italian imml-
grants. The disease is no more con-
tagious than 1eprosy, but still it is a
bacterial disease, and it can be ac-
quired by persons who are frequently
in contact with one who has it.
The United States public health and
marine hospital service is investigat-
ing the disease and until its report
upon it is published it is well not to
trust the stories that the use Of corn
as food produces the disease. The
people of this country and of Mexico
have long eaten Indian corn and no
one in either country ever developed
a case of pellagra until Italian immi-
grants appeared on the scene. The
chances are that the use of corn as
human food has nothing to do with the
production or development Of the dis
ease. The marine hospital service
will no doubt furnish us with trust
worthy information on this point.
