A similar fate encountered an import

that the owner stated that he would
not part with one of them for one
hundred dollars, even though they
cost him less than thirty-fve dollars
apiece
1t is possible that the higher alti-
tude prevented the development of
the parasites with which the animals
undoubtedly were infested before their
arrival here, but the fact remains that
there are vast areas in these islands
that are unfit for anything except
sheep-raising, at least so far IS our
present knowledge extends, but which
with their present infestation with
external and internal parasites
adults, pupae, larvae (maggots) and
eggs-are practically useless for the
purposes. The one apparent and OBJ
vious remedy, to which attention was
called in a special bulletin issued by
the writer in conjunction with Mr.. d.
L. Van Dine of the Federal Expert
ment Station some three years ago,
that is, the introduction of insectiv-
orous birds, has been given little con-
sideration, until revived quite re-

entirely dependent upon the reduction

A considerable importation, IA rams
and SO ewes, of Tunis sheep, a breed
of comparatively recent origin, but
supposed to be very hardy and at the

a good mutton carcass, arrived for
the Molokai ranch last year, having
been selected from the fiocks of the
principal breeder of these sheep in
Indiana, by Prof. Wilcox of the Fed
eral Experiment Station This was,
however, not the first time the Tunis
sheep was heard of here, as the same
ranch has been using it for years for
the improvement of its focks, and has
only been restrained in employing it
more extensively by the comparative
difficulty in obtaining first-class ami,

POLICEMAN
BEATEN UP


H. N. Long, a recent addition to
the police court force, was badly beat.
en- up by two Hawaiians on Aala
park on the early morning Of March
Srd, and after hearing the evidence,
Judge Lymer let the accused off with
fines Of $40 and SIS respectively. The
policeman stated that after finishing
work at 1876 on March End, he had
two glasses Of beer and two cocktails
and then went down to a pool room
near lwilei with a friend, whom he
was endeavoring to persuade to go
home as the friend was drunk. The
policeman remained with his compan.
Ion for an hour or so and then as he
would not move homewards he left
MIN there On the way home the
policeman stopped in Aala Park TO
listen to the music of a guitar NAV.
ed by a woman on one of the seats
the woman was in the company of
TWO men and another woman and
when they saw the policeman sit
down, one of the men told him TO
beat it, adding that they did not want
any Marines there, prefaclng the
word marines with a profane adjec-
tive. Long told them that he was not
Marine, but a police officer, where
upon both of them sprang at him and
assaulted him. Kikila, one of the ac-
cused, struck him on the face, and
,Friedenberg, the other defendant,
knocked him down. He did not re-
member much after that, as he lost
consciousness. He denied being
drunk and when he regained con-
seriousness he found himself walking
along Beretania street
The story for the defense was that
the two accused, together with Mrs.
Friedenberg and a niece of Kikila
were on the park as stated by Long
hut then they say that when Long
sat on the grass near them they NOV
ed to another seat and Long also fol
lowed them. They told him they
could not play the instrument, where
upon Long stigmatised the women as
prostitutes. Then both Friedenbere
and Kikila jumped up Mrs. Frieden
berg states that Kikila struck LONG
and then her husband also beat him
put Kikila denied having struck the
officer, and Peanuts, who claimed tc
have witnessed the assault, also said
that Kikila did not hit Long. The
other girl present ran away before
the hitting commenced. Friedenbere
said that Kikila struck Long after
Long had made the first nit, and
Long also said that Kikila, as we'll as
Friedenberg also hit him.
Attorney Chillingworth, ST., who APP
! peared for Friedenberg, contended
that his client was quite justified in
striking Long, after the latter had
used the epithet to his wife. E
Strauss, who appeared for Kikila, did
not address the court.
Judge Lymer found both accused
guilty He remarked that under or
binary circumstances an assault that
left such marks on the person as
saulted as Long had would be pun
hshed by a term of Imprisonment
but there were a good many circum
stances in the case which the court
was bound to take note Of. He
thought that two glasses of beer and
two cocktails, if taken within a few
minutes Of each other, might make
a man feel groggy, and he also
thought that people who came into
court with a complaint should come
in with clean hands. In this case nc
decided to be lenient, and he i'm
posed fine of $40 on KiIdla and 81
on Friedenberg.

Improving Prospects
OF Livestock Farming
In Hawaiian Islands

Herewith are interesting excerpts
from the Report of the Board OF Com.
missioners of Agriculture and For.
estry for 1910, showing the progress
in the cattle, sheep, hog, poultry and
dairy industries of the Territory:
Cattle.
An unusual large number of con-
signments of pure bred and high-class
bulls, and heifers, nearly 400 head,
especially Herefords and Shorthorns,
have been imported by the leading
ranches, and at least one of these, the
largest one, can now boast that only
pure bred bulls are being used for
breeding purposes. The general
average of the beef cattle of the Ter
ritory has, during the past few years,
been greatly improved through these
importations, and the rigid rules of
inspection and testing have excluded
any but absolutely sound animals from
introduction into the native herds.
There can be little doubt that IL
the importation of high-class beef ami
mails continues the way it has done
during the past period, it will not he
long before the scrubs" disappear
completely. But besides this it is a
pleasure to report that a number of
high-class bulls of various dairy breds
have been imported recently, by lead
ing dairy men as well as by the Col
lege of Hawaii, and that there is a
strong demand for good bulls even
among the oriental milk producers.
The importation of bulls from New
Zealand, which was mentioned in the
last report of this Division, did not
prove to be what was expected, at
least it required nearly year for the
animals to become acclimated and to
continue their interrupted develop
ment. Some of them have, however,
developed into fine animals, and that
they did not all do so may possibly
be due to their not all being very
high-class. All of the pedigreed ami
mails did well, though not equally
| fast or to the same extent. The
writer is, nevertheless, still of the
opinion, that selected animals from
New Zealand would prove of great
value, on these ranches at least,
where fresh blood has been brought
in from the States only for a number
of years, even though from entirely
unrelated strains or families.
Sheep.
A number of purebred rams, prin-
cipally Merinos, have been brought in,
both from New Zealand and from the
States, but while the class of sheep
is being improved the importation of
mutton from Australia still continues,
that is there can be little doubt that
the number Of sheep in the Territory
today is a great deal less than it was
two years ago and vastly less than
it was six or ten years ago. That
diseases, especially external and in
ternal parasites, have a great deal to
do with this reduction in numbers
can not be denied, but it is equally
apparent that not by far the numbers
of ewes are being bred as formerly,
whether on account of the diseases
afflicting them or because experience
has shown that the demand for beef
is greater and that it is cheaper to
import the mutton from Australia than
to use beef-producing acres to raise
them. One fact, however, is establish

also fairly complete, and these enabled
the garrison to hold out against the
Turks until the early years of the
eighteenth century. The island is now
a leper colony.
