LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Do the pigs squeal because they
are hungry or cold? Find out; there
is no profit in either condition.
For horses that are confined to the
stable on dry feed, a hot bran mash
once or twice each week is most bene-
fetal.
In handling sheep teach them to fol-
low The owner or caretaker should
be so familiar with his flock that it
will follow wherever he leads.
Don't let any one chase the young
lambs. 1t is all right to take them
up in the arms, but If your sheep
know you, you can do that so gently
that no disturbance will follow.
A spirited horse will in the end be
made slow and spiritless- by constant
nagging, twitching of the lines. peev-
ish urging and other wearing proc
esses that fretful drivers practise.
Pigs are not well protected by ma
ture and to thrive they must have
warm winter quarters free from drafts
They must have a good range for
exercise, but they must have warm

is best adapted to it. Viewing the
foot from the side the regular posi-

the regular or normal shape the weight

Approximately 10000. 900 acres OF
lands in western and southwestern
states are adapted to irrigation, which

5000 900 persons. The economic value
of irrigation cannot be measured In
dollars and cents, but crops iof from

Misleading Term Of Dry Farming.

Unfortunately the misleading char
acter of the term dry farming has
caused a great many people to base
unfounded hopes Of wealth and af-
fiuence upon the opportunities to take
up free land in the west 1t hxs been
demonstrated that in majority Of
cases the farmer who succeeds In So
called dry farming operations Is the
same farmer who would apply the
most modern scientific methods to aga
rtculture in humid region. Where
conditions are reasonably favorable
and where the farmer will faithfully
observe the requirements Of a more
or less imperfect scientific schedule,
the results often have been nothing
less than wonderful.

STILL THE LAND OF PROMISE.

That America is still looked upon as
a land Of promise by the people Of for
eign countries is well illustrated by
the desertion Of some 200 men from
the British warships which visited
New York for the Hudson-Fulton eel
ebration. The United States is still
the lure of Europe, says Cleveland
Plain Dealer. The Eldorado is yet
west Of the Atlantic. The experience
Of the English feet is but repetition
of what has been met many times be-
fore by fleets visiting the American
coast. There is always the tempta-
ton for the visiting tar to come ashore
and forget to return. Perhaps they
have relatives in this country ready
to shield chem and give them home
and start in the new world. Per-
haps they have merely absorbed the
current European opinion that the
way to fortune and comfort lies
through the gates of New York A
striking contrast is offered between
the experience of the American fleet
I on its recent world tour and the usual
experience Of the fleets visiting this
country. 1t was one of the boasts of
the returning American ships that the
men aboard and ashore had conducted
themselves with almost project de-
corum; that none had deserted. though
opportunities to do SO had been many.
This is not to argue that American
tars are any better grade Of men
than those of other navies-though we
are pleased to believe they are-but
merely indicates their different point
OF view.

new law that he hopes to have perfect
ed and presented 20 the board of SUI
pervisors or to the legislature for ap-
proval and passage.
He is using as a foundation for the
contemplated revision in the laws the
building laws at present in force on
the Coast, with especial reference to-
wards those sections designed with the
view of e-protection.
He IS also using certain portions of
certain proposed ordinances which were
presented to the legislature Of 1905 and
to subsequent ones There were two
of these ordinances brought up before
the territorial solons on as many differ
ent occasions but for unknown reasons
they were pigeonholed and forgotten.
The building inspector sent down to the
h. .
copied. 1t is not altogether satisfac-
tory from a fire point of view but is
far in advance of the present laws.
While the present laws name fire
limits and forbid the erection of any
frame building within them, the limits
themselves are small, too small. and are
perforated with holes whereby the
builder can comply with them and at
the same time make his building a men
ace to those around it,
This state of affairs has had the
effect of raising insurance rates

at the present time its entire frame is

ers are at present said to be sup

dollars in advancing it so far before
they ran out of funds. Now a scheme
is on foot to incorporate and raise
the money. The deal is supposed to
be in the completed stages and the
builders have no intention of giving it
up.
A. R. Gurrey, ST., of the Fire Under
writers Board, yesterday stated that
the conditions around the center of the
city are shameful and points to the
construction of the buildings on the
Eva side of Fort street between Hotel
and King. There are no fire walls be
tween any of the buildings on this
block and a fire once started and with
sufficient Roadway would sweep the en-.
tire block as the partitions are in sew
eral places only f1imsy structures.

PANAMA COMES
TO HONOLULU

The great steam shovels that are at
present digging bitches" in Panama
last night appeared in Honolulu for the
benefit of the Honolulu public and were
shown on the screen of Bonnie s thea
ter on Hotel street. A number of stere-
optlcon views and moving picture films
that he had taken while on a trip to
the canal zone were utilized to make
up a good program and We're witnessed
by number of people who postponed
for few hours, ball and dinner en-
gagements that they might see them.
number of Second Cavalry boys
from the transport were present and
watched with interest the operations as
depicted on the screen. Moving picture
films were shown representing several
views of the canal, of the steam shovels
IN active operation, of rail laying and
the other new ideas in connection with
carrying on the work there. 1t is said
that the cost of the canal viii be below
the estimates owing to the construction
of machinery that facilitates the work
beyond the hopes of the engineers.
The big shovels are comically
human, and nose around the banks for
few tons of dirt to put in the cars
and smack their lips afterwards to get
the taste out of their mouths. Pictures
are also shown of the Chagres River
and Gatun.
Numerous stereopticon views were
shown and the scenes depicted were
recognized by several in the audience
that had seen the real things. Through
all the pictures ran a certain legend
connected with the quality of a GER
tam brand of beer-that kind which
gave rise to the phrase of ''the blue
ribbon follows the flag" Wherever he
turned his camera in the towns, Bonnie
eouldn t help but get that legend in.
BONNIE has an excellent scheme of
prefaeing all his views with a descrip-
ton of them thrown on the screnes
which is far better than having some
one on the stage naming them orally.

MANOA MAY GET
BETTER WATER SERVICE

corning consumption Of water, not only
in the city proper, but in the valley.
He minated that in about six months
the valley would have direct source
of water, when the high-lift pump Is
installed, and would not be so restrict
Ell IN the use Of water as at present.
The report on street car service show
ell that this is being improved and
that the company is planning TO al
the valley people in getting a good
service.
The fire patrol and police committee

vices was being planned. The road
committee reported that the county was
at present st work practically building
a new road on the lower Manoa. or
Church ROAD, and osher Improvements

thorities. As to lights the committee
reported that the county had provided
a number of lights and that in the near
future, others which We're in the orr
ginal plan, will be installed.
The question OF free mail delivery in
the valley was brought up again and
the matter will be brought to the at
tention of the postal authorities once
more.

WHAT THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
A Great Wrong Righted.

When the Park Theater advertises
something that is, in the opinion of the
management, very good, the public may
depend upon it that there is no exag-
geration. Tonight will be seen "a
Great Wrong Righted,'' film of I'M
usual interest and one that should be
seen by everyone even if another date
has to be sacrificed. Sig Trovato will
also appear and sing one of his de-
llghtfully sweet songs in Italian. He is
new here and should be heard. He has
a rich musical voice and his interpreted
ton of the songs is characteristic of his
race. The pictures at the Park this
week are unusually good. Few exhibit
lions in local amusement houses have
been as good, and the audiences are
large. The program tonight is one that
should tempt hundreds to attend the
show.
