How a Hawaii Farmer Uses Volcano.

How Hawaii Farmer uses volcano.
Feeding hogs on giant ferns which
have been previously cooked ty the
heat from a volcano, is novelty In
the agricultural field which it is safe
to say can be seen in but one place
in the whole world. That place is in
Hawaii; and one man at least Is max
ing q profitable business out OF his
foresight and enterprise.
Peter Lee, an American. has q
ranch right On the edge Of the great
crater Kalauea, on the Island OF
Hawaii, some 200 miles from Homo
lulu. All about the tremendous caul.
dron Of nature spreads dense forests
Tor many miles down the easy slope
OF the mountains sides. Very much
OF this tangle of vegetation ID made
up of great tree ferns. many OF which
tower fifty feet or more in the air
like great feather busters. The great
trunk or stem of this fern, frequently
foot or more in diameter. Is CON-
psed Of a pulpy fibrous mass enclosed
in a hairy harder covering. Peter
Lee discovered that this pulp con-
tains a large amount Of starches anu
sugars. and that by steaming or 'c,ok-
ing, these are rendered soft, and are
greedily eaten by the hogs.
1t was some time before the pres
ent method Of cooking the ferns suS-
gested itself, but when it did the
problem Of economy was solved. In
many places about the volcano. some
times several miles from the active
central pit, cracks have formed In
the hardened lava surface which COW
ers the whole mountain, doubtless
through the contraction of the mate
rial in cooling. and from these fs
sures OF intensity perpd1ualfy escape
To construct a gridiron otter one Of
these heat cracks, and to pste upon
1t the fern trunks, CIT into cord-wood
lengths, was the acme Of simplicity
but for effectiveness could scarcely
be improved upon. In the course OF Z
few days, dependent on the snoana
Of heat Of any particular cra6k, the
steam has thoroughly softenod and
cooked the ferns, and aN'that rema1ca
to do Is to split each -steR with On
az. when the swine will devour them
voraciously.
DR.. E. v. Wilcox, director q the
Hawif E,,1erip'ent Station. besseves
that Hawaiis ferns may come to be
Of considerable economic importance
rs a stock food. Fern roots have had
some value in this line ~ some parts
Of the Northwest where the growth
is comparatively scanty. and II tht
food value of Hawaiian ferns prove
as high. large tracts Of forests land
are likely to acquire q new value.

broke away above, and more or less
