Pottie Has Gone.
| Doctor Norgaard says in his report:
"Ten suspicious cases were found,
-four of which we're taken to the quar-
antine station and submitted to the
mallein testing. One of these animals
was found to suffer from typi-
cal CHAMBERS and was destroyed The
stable where this horse had been kept
was submitted to a thorough disin-
fecting and white washing. 1t is note
worthy that this animal, as well as the
one reported on at the last meeting,
= have been patients in the stable of
Doctor Pottie, but as he has left the
IsTerritory for good no action can be
taken in the matter"
Notes in Their Eyes.
Doctor Norgaard also says he has dis
covered new disease in chickens,
which he calls eyeworm." In 1e-
gard to this he says:
"This disease which seems to be
quite prevalent here consists in the
4 presence of worms in the eye between
the eyeball and the socket. AS many
as fifty of these minute worms have
been removed from single eye in spite
Of which the affected chicken seems to
suffer very little inconvenience. The
disease has been fully investigated by
Doctor Case, who has found that it
Yields readily to treatment and who is
endeavoring to get at the life history
of the parasite in question. The sub
ject will be discussed in full in the
next annual report"
Dirty Potatoes.
B. n. Newell, chronological inspector
at Hilo, reports to Entomoiogist Ehr-
horn in part as follows:
~ am holding my own against the
importation of dirty potatoes, if for no
other reason than for the consumer s
sake People have to pay good price
for the article and should receive their
moneys worth, Dirt on potatoes seems
to cover a multitude of sins-hiding
scab and rot. 1t is surprising some
times to see how many potatoes have
to be thrown away when it comes to
the cleaning process. By ordering this
70 proceed, at least the consumers buy
less rot.n
The Foe of the Aphis.
Entomologist Ehrhorn made an inter
esting report to the board in regard
to the liberation on this Island of large
colonies of aphis eating ladybugs. He
says in this regard:
I. "My attempt to secure large con-
signment of aphis-eating ladybugs from
California was a success, for on Feb
ruary is received large ventilated
box with about "a 400 Hippodamia con-
vergens which were sent to me by
Mr.. L. X. Carnes, superintendent of the
state insectary of the state commission
of horticulture of California, and We're
! delivered to me personally by Mr.. Geo.
Compere, who happened to pass through
here on his way to tie Orient. The
insects We're in very good condition and
of the large number only about 1900
had died on the way. This ladybug has
been introduced here before, but as far
as search has been made has never been
found. As | understand from those who
ought to know the numbers sent We're
in small lots and ] therefore undertook
the matter of making a large trial and
liberating thousands in one place. I
have asked for another sending of same
size and hope to get these in as good
condition, My idea is to liberate these
in the same localities so as to reinforce
those already in the field.
"The ladybugs were distributed IS
follows: Pauoa, 5000; Wahiawa, 5000;
Kauai, 5000; Waialae, 5000, and Ma
nOa, 1900. The liberation of the
large quantity in this last place was
for the purpose of allowing the flight
up this valley to the top of the noun
tains, should the insects care to fol
low their California habits. The bad
weather and uncertainty of localities
on the other islands than Kauai did
not permit the distribution to them
from this lot. However, should the in
PRODUCTION prove successful, it would
be a very easy matter to secure large
quantities in the future.
81 have also been successful in in
Producing the parasite of the cabbage
butterfly Pteromalus puparum, which
reduces this pest in California. The
damage done to cabbage and other
plants in the Islands by the cabbage
worm is very serious, so much so that
many have given up the idea of grow
ing cabbages for market and we i'm
port about 1000 crates annually. The
pest is also found attacking turnips
and everywhere the Nasturtium (Tro-
pacolum) is badly attacked. If this
parasite will do as well here as 1t does
in California we shall reduce the pest
very considerably"
Cruelty to Animals.
Doctor Norgaard in his report calls
attention TO a peculiar case Of cruelty
TO animals for which, under the law
. there seems to be no adequate remedy
! lie says;
! have several times Of late been
consulted by the humane officer as well
as by the hack inspector in regard "a
eases Of cruelty 10 animals, notably
