POULTRY HOUSE IS
OF GREAT INTEREST TO FANCIER9

Much of the pleasure and profit tc
he derived from keeping fowl depends
on suitable housing. The College OF
Hawaii's portable house, exhibited at
the Hawaiian Poultry Association S
show, was designed TO meet the re-
quirements for the accommodation Of
twenty-five mature fowl of the smaller
breeds, such as the Leghorns, or from
twelve to eighteen of the medium ana
larger breeds, such as the Plymouth
Rocks and Orpingtons.
The house is admirably adapted to
the needs of the small householder in
town or city, who desires to keep Il
small flock for family use. 1t is we'll
suited to the colony system, with or
without CARDS, as the house is easi;y
movable.
At the College Farm four OF the
houses have been in use Tor some
time They have proved adaptable
as incubator house for the cycle
Hatcher" CPhilo SYSTEM; as brooder
house, either for artifcially heated or
freless brooders for growing chicEs
up to the separating period; as
single-pen breeding houses, and as
general utility houses for full size
focks of laying hens. They should
prove equally suited for fattening
coops should occasion require.
The size of the poultry house is
AXIS feet, Independent of the nest and
feed compartments, each of which is
1X4 feet additional. The front is AZ
feet high and the back 3l2 feet. The
floor is two feet above the surface of
the ground. The space underneath
provides an excellent busting place
and shelter from sun and rain during
the day, and perfect ventilation at all
times.
The dropping-board is hinged to
the back, and when in position for the
night occupies the rear half Of the
house throughout its length. 1t is
eighteen inches from the floor The
perches are six inches above the
board. 1t provides fifteen
feet of roosting space, This allows
seven inches per fowl when stocked
with twenty-five birds. This is ample
for Leghorns After the dropping
board is cleaned in the morning, it
is folded back against the rear wall,
thus making available the entire in
terror space
Four nets are provided. Access 10
both nests and the feed compart-
ments may be had from the outside
by the hinged tops.
Access to the entire house may ne
had without entering, although door
2x4 feet is provided for entrance
should such become necessary.
A base board one foot high sur
rounds the house as a retainer FOR

EXPERT EVIDENCE AGAINST
DESTRUCTION OF BANANAS

Mosquitoes do not breed in banana
plants, according to the firm opinion
of Entomologist David T. Fullaway
as expressed on the witness stand in
Judge Cooper's court yesterday after
noon Mr.. Fullaway made the as
sertion that he has examined no less
than a hundred panama plants and had
found mosquitoes in none of them
The case on trial was that of Geo.
Lucas whom the board of health per-
suaded to be the goat in so-called
test case to determine whether or not
the board of health regulation prohi-
biting the growing of bananas in Ho-
noulu will hold legal water
E. c. Peters, hired by the Territory
as counsel for Lucas, examined Mr.
Fullaway deliberately Everything
that the witness said tended to show
the Righteousness of the banana regu
lation and of the banana crusade
Describing his method of examining
banana plants to see whether or not
they contained mosquito larvae. Mr..
Fullaway stated that he cut off the
tops of the trees below the cups and
preserved the whole thing, water and
all. He found water in many of the
banana plants, but usually only in
very small quantities. But he found
on mosquito larvae
In reply to a question as to why he
believed mosquitoes do not breed in
banana plants, the witness said one
reason is that there are a hundred bet
ter places for them, such as troughs,
cutters, tin cans, storm
sewers, mud puddles, wells, duck
ponds and so forth.
Mr. Fullaway stated that he believed

appear that as in the kindred art Of

stereotyped designs, but it is no less a
fact that the want of proper organizd-

| Fowl should be provided with grit
oyster shell and charcoal especially
when kept in confinement
The grit takes the place of teeth in
fowl. In the chickens gizzard the par.
ticles of sharp rock or oyster shells
serve to grind the grains into the
pulpy mass which is digested by the
intestines The mineral elements are
necessary in the forming of the egg
shells. Such grits as are rich in lime
are most useful. The amount of min
eral matter consumed by poultry de-
ponds largely whether they are laying
or not During the laying season hens
require more mineral matter than
when they are producing no eggs.
Ten cents per annum should cover
the cost of all the grit consumed by
an average fowl.
Decently kept fowl require no sub.
stances that may properly be called
medicines. Salt is always good, and
very small quantity, say one-quarter
pound fine salt added to 100 pounds Of
dry mash is sufficient Charcoal is
useful as an absorbing agent, and
therefore, as an aid to digestion. Have
a supply of charcoal always on hand
and let the fowl help themselves as
they do of grit
Red peppers are an excellent stimu-
liant and is used to force egg produc,
ton. However, 1t should not be fed to
excess.
Last and most important In the mat
ter of food is an ample supply of good
fresh water. More failures in the poul-
try yard can be traced to a foul water
supply than to any other cause. Keep
vessels clean and supply fresh water
at least twice daily.

BARS INHERITANCE

An illegitimate child is regarded as
nobodys child in this country; accord.

handed down this morning. and does
not therefore, inherit from the grand.
father-inferentially, therefore. from
the father-though the Hawaiian law
specifically provides that it does in.
herit from its mother.
The decision, written by Justice
Perry, was rendered in the case of
John G. Machado versus II. p. Kapule
kualau. 1t reads in part as follows:
This is an action of ejectment. The
facts are agreed upon by the parties
and are as follows: that one Kua.
Tau died intestate leaving surviving
him a son, the defendant in this case,
and one kuanaulu, the illegitimate
son of kahalehau, daughter who died
unmarried prior to the death of Ku-
alau Sr.; that Keone, another son of
kualau Sr., died unmarried and with
out issue prior to the death of his
father; that Kualau ST. was at the
time OF his death the owner of all of
the land in controversy and that Kua-
naulu conveyed all of his interest to
the plaintiff. Upon these facts the
trial court jury having been waived,
rendered a decision in favor of the
plaintiff for an undivided one-half of
the land. The defendant excerpts.

plea for improvement in spirit and
methods in conducting public business
by the Government was made by Gov
ernor Harmon of Ohio, in an address
before the trans-Mississippi Congress
tonight
1T is said that we have too much
politics in our business he said. I'VE
certainly have too little business in
our politics. 1t is a serious reflection
on institutions of which we are so
proud that the many and costly en-
terprises undertaken by public agen-
cies should be carried on in such loose,
slipshod and inefficient fashion that,
with honorable exceptions here and
there, what is done by the Govern
ments takes longer, costs more and is
worth less than the same thing in pri-
vate hands.
Our Government cannot fulfill our
Just expectations until it shall faith
fully represent economy, thrift, atten-
tion to detail and fidelity to honest
purpose in accomplishment for which
the American people are distinguished.
And nobody can do more to bring this
about than citizens on whose earnings
and resources the cost of maintaining
the Government chiefly falls
West Must Use Canal.
Referring to the waterways Of the
West, Governor Harmon said:
THE Panama Canal has given added
importance to your Western water
ways, also to carriage on the high seas
in which the West is peculiarly inter
ested. These must be looked after or
we shall be maintaining a costly canal
for the benefit of other nations. We
shall not get our share of the world $
commerce while we have to depend on
foreign carriers who are naturally in
terested most in the trade of their own
countries and whose discrimination W.
cannot prevent,
I'VE require no subsidies. These
could not be fairly distributed any
more than other special fayors can.
All that is needed is to give American
enterprises a fair chance by changing
our antiquated navigation laws, which
have driven our commerce from the
seas"
Governor Shafroth Of Colorado, in an
address on "The Conservation Of Nat
uraI Resources From a Western stand
point" attacked the policy Of the Gov
ernment in providing for enormous
forest reserves in the mountain states
and taxing the natural resources Of
the public domain by means of leases
Of grazing, oil, coal and mineral lands
for the benefit of the Federal Treas
ury."
Leasing of natural resources means
perpetual ownership in the National
Government and exemption from taxa
ton forever" said the speaker Now
it is proposed by bills introduced IN
Congress and advocated by the follow
ers of Mr.. Pinchot to impose royalties
upon power generated by falling water
and to lease the oil and PHOSPHORUS
