RANCHERS ARE
BRAC|NG Up
DR.. Wilcox Reports Marked
Improvements on Big
Cattle Runs.

conditions on the largest of the
Hawaiian ranches are being materially
changed for the BETTER is the opinion
of DIR. Wilcox, of the Federal Expert
ment Station, who is keeping track of
range and livestock conditions in fur
aheranee of his experimental work. cit
is quite time that they did, too he
added. "for heretofore the principal
business on some of the ranges has
been skinping the cattle mat starved
TO death.
"Nearly one-third the land in the
whole group is used for cattle range,
and that shows how necessary it is
that there be as much attention paid
to that land and what it produces as
to any other class of lands. We are
carrying On experiments with grasses
at the station and the ranch managers
are taking the greatest interest in this
and are putting out the various grasses
in places on their ranges and watch
ing the results. Mr.. Carter, on the
Parker ranch, is doing great deal of
excellent work and the Molokai ranch
people are also paying the greatest at
tention to this problem of improving
their ranges. There are plenty of good
grasses that do we'll in our soils.
Heretofore, it has been the Gus
tom, more or less, of finding out what
number of cattle or horses given
range will support in the worst seasons
and limiting the number put on the
run to that. Thus the ranches were
run on a minimum basis instead OF a
maximum. What is being attempted
now is to utilize some of the ranch
lands to grow fodder with which to
the cattle for market. Portions of the
lands are adapted for alfalfa, others
can grow upland rice hay, an excellent
feed, while there is plenty of land for
corn. Some of the corn L have seen
on the Parker ranch lands is quite as
good as the average seen in the main.
land corn belt, not so fancy perhaps
from the standpoint of exhibitions, but
equally valuable as food.
'tThere is great local market for
pork, too. / don't think l have ever
been in place where there was such
steady demand at good prices as
there is here. Now much of the pork
is imported, when the hogs could be
raised here. Some are putting in cas-,
sava and other roots now for hog feed
-The purchasing public here has not
as yet reached the discriminating point
when it pays to put the fine finish on
meats before marketing them, but the
time is coming when the rancher who
produces meats just little better
than the others and turns out a uni,
formly high grade is going to be the
man that wins.

A Terrible Loss.

As is the case with all occurrences
where tragedy is uppermost, the col
lision between the Republic and the
Florida brought out some amusing In
cidents. Here is one:
When the Republic passengers were
taken ON board the Baltic many of
them had saved practically none OF
their belongings One lady, arrayed
In nlghtgown and fur coat, all she
had brought with her from the sinking
ship, climbed over the side of the Bal
tic and spied a sort of bulletin board
ON which notices of interest to the
passengers were posted. The follow
Ing caught that lady's eye:
"Lost.-One gold button. Finder
please return to-
The possessor of one nightgown and
one fur coat looked long and solemnly
at that notice.

Any one who has ever attended an in

Is. There has also been an effort to
induce q lot OF bands to stay at home,

WHY THE sox WIN

One little incident of a game played
last June at Sportsman's park be-
tween the Browns and White Sox
shows why Fielder Jones, is great
leader on the ball field. The Chicago
manager in a most heartless manner
ignored sentiment entirely and wrung
a victory from the Browns in one
of the most desperate eleven-inning
battles ever seen in the city. II was
a beating that win long be remem-
bered by the St. Louis fans, for The
only strategy of the cold Mr.. Jones
prevented the Browns from winning
in glorious fashion.
eRube" Waddell and Frank Smith
were the pitchers that day and both
were in excellent form Al the end
OF the tenth inning the Browns had
made seven hits OF the Chicago
strong man and the Sox had belted
bat FIVE safe ones OFF 'RlIbe's" left
handed benders. Though both pitch
ers had experienced spells OF Wild
ness. sharp fielding by both teams
had prevented trouble except in two
OF the innings.

who was punching the ball without
mercy at that time, drove one of
Smiths speedy ones over the right
field fence for home run. In the
sixth inning, Fielder Jones poked a
safe single to left field, stole second
and was driven home by a timely
single by big Jawn" Anderson. That
tied up the score and the teams bat
tied desperately through the tenth
inning with neither one getting anoth-

Grabbed and Held On.

A teacher in one of the schools Of
Berlin has given to the papers OF that
city composition written by one of
the pupils in his school on the subject
"rhe Kaiser" in the course Of which
the young author says: "Prince VIII
helm was born on the kaiser's birthday.
From the dome Of the castle 101 salute
shots were fired. The old grandfather
and old Wrangel hoped into cab
and went to the schloss, and old Wran-
gel said, The boy is all right and the
father made bow from the balcony,
and 1t was awful cold. And when the
boy was baptized his father held his
watch in front Of the little fellows

go again because he is a Hohenzol-

EARTHQUAKES.
They Are Not the Most Terrible Of the
Worlds Catastrophes.


Worlds catastrophes.
II is the general opinion that earth
quakes constitute the most terrible Of
the worlds eatastrophes both as re-
CARDS loss of life and destruction of
property.
This, however, is not 80.
The convulsion In southern Italy
killed not less than 100000 people, aud
In this respect II is easily the most
dreadful occurrence of its kind. The
historic Lisbon earthquake, which
ranks next below II in regard TO the
number OF fatalities, caused 10000
deaths In that one city alone and about
an equal number elsewhere. The South
American one of 1867 was responsible
for 10000. That which destroyed Alep-
po In 1922 slew 10000. These are the
four worst earthquakes concerning
which anything like reliable statistics
are obtainable, and the total combined
loss Of life, 1t will be observed, did not,
at any rate, exceed 100000.
But when the Yellow river burst its
banks In September, 1887, more than
100000 people were drowned in the
resultant great food, which covered to
an average depth of six feet a popu-
lous Chinese province the size Of Scot
land. Thus in this one catastrophe
more lives were lost than in all the
earthquakes recorded In the worlds
history.
Then, again, there is pestilence. The
black death killed in China, where It
broke out, 100000 people, in the rest
Of Asia 24OOO,OO0 and 3O,OOO,OOO in
Europe, or 07.OOO,OOO in all. In India
alone, and that within the past twelve
years, the bubonic plague has slain
over 100000 Of our fellow subjects,
and the epidemic still RACES.
Or there are famlnes, which run
plaques a close second The one that
ragged in Bombay and Madras In 1877,
for example, slew 100000 people,
and that which prevailed In northern
China In the same year and which
was due TO the same climatic causes
cost 0,5OOO0 lives.
MOI Earthquakes, terrible though
they strike the Imagination as being
at the time they occur, are mere flea
bites when compared with these other
manifestations Of natures power to
kin. Pearson's Weekly.
