JAPANESE ORDER
A SUGAR MILL

HuO, December 5.-There appears
to be a movement on foot among some
of the japanese cane planters in Puma
and HIilo to cultivate cane and manu-
factwe sugar on their own hook. At
least one of these men has sent for a
mill, which is expected to arrive i'm i
few months and several others have
been figuring on similar PROPOSE
ton.
From a source which should be alb
solutely reliable, the Tribune was in
formed that the mill, which is now on
its way to Eiilo, was ordered i'm New
York. The owner is a Japanese who
plants cane both at Twenty-threa
Miles and at Fifteen Miles. 1t is his
idea to grind his own cane. as well as
that of some six other Japanese cane
planters, who, It appears, between
them figure on being able to place UNI
der cultivation several hundred acres,
in case the experiment proves to be
success.
The mill is, of course, a very small
affair, and seems particularly so when
compared with the gigantic factories
which have placed Hawaii in the fore
most fank of sugar producing coun-
tries 1t is driven by a gasoline en-
gine, can be transported without much
trouble from one field to another, and
has capacity of about a ton of sugar
a day The plan is to establish it
first at the Twenty-three Miles farm.

Commissioner Wakefield called a
halt on indeterminate talk and rung
for action on the Hilo wharf matter
near the close of the meeting of the
harbor commission yesterday after
noon.
Haven't we heard everything that
the Hilo people and the Inter-lsland
company have to submit as to the
wharf plans?' Mr.. Wakefield asked.
Receiving a reply in the affirmative
he proceeded:
Then l do not think we ought to
spend any more time talking. l am
willing to attend night meetings if
necessary until the whole matter is
settled"
AS a result of this appeal for deeds
in place of words, the commission will
meet daily, either day or evening. On
the 18th inst. a special meeting will
be held, at which final action on the
agreement will be taken. In the mean
time the commission will almost GER
tainly have arrived at a conclusion on
pltns, so that Nnen the agreement has
been ratified the call for bids ought
promptly to follow.
At this meeting the Inter-Island COM
panys plan of wharf, designed by
County Engineer Southworth of Ha-
wall, together with a proposed new
location, was submitted.
L. A. Thurston, for the Hilo Rail
road Co, offered various objections to
the scheme. The wharf pointed in

MIR Burch's standing had been care
fully investigated and it had been
learned that he is all right. It was
also stated that Mr. Burch estimated
that it would take him about fourteen
days to examine the mine and prepare
his report. The total expense he did
not think would be much over $500.
1t was finally proposed and agreed
to that a committee Of three, consist

Most farmers are confronted by this
problem, in serious manner because
of the short crops of the past dry sea-
son and the present high prices for
feed stuffs. In wintering farm work
horses one Of two extremes usually
prevails. The lover Of good horses
saves the best NOW of hay and the
best bin Of oats for his horses during
winter when they are producers as
workers, thus rendering their cost of
keep very expensive. On the other
hand, however, too many horses are
wintered in the barnyard on straw and
corn stalks only, going into the spring
work weak and thin and untitled to
undergo the severe strain of the seed
ing work. There is a medium be-
tween these two extremes by which
coarse cheap feeds in sufficient variety
cen be used in wintering the horse
cheaply and satisfactorily.
If the horse is in moderately good
condition and doing no work it can be
wintered on corn fodder straw and en-
silage with small feed of mixed hay
daily. If there are no nubbins of corn
in the fodder a few ears may be fed
daily. Under these conditions the run
Of a yard during the day with ample
stall or shed protection at night is de-
sirable. If the horses are being en-

Increasing Popularity of
Agricultural Education
BY r. S. SHAW,
Dean of Agriculture

The enrolment Of students in the
regular four courses at the Michigan
Agricultural College for the year 1911
and 1912 presents some interesting
data. Up to October 5th the total
number enrolled was 1,27S, divided as
follows, viz; agriculture, 571; engi-
neering, 452, and home economics,
255. These figures do not include any
short course students. which number
from 400 to 500 annually. The require
ments for entrance to the freshman
year are graduation from accredited
high schools or other institutions
with equally good training.
Ten years ago only about twenty.
five per cent. of the male students
entering this institution enrolled in
agriculture, the number this year
exceeds 80 per cent. Not more than
20 per cent of the graduates in asri.
culture returned to the farm a decade
ago. The past few years nearly all
who had farms to go to returned to
them.
Some influential factors have been
at work bringing about these changes.
Agricultural colleges have succeeded
in winning the confidence and RESPECT
OF the farmer. High prices of farm
produce has had an effect. Men Of
national reputation politically and in.
dustrially have been speaking and
writing in behalf of agricultural de-
velopment. The daily and weekly
paper and even some Of the largest
city papers have used agricultural
matter freely while the movement has
been popularized by the magazine
The purely agricultural paper used to
stand alone In Its efforts for better
agriculture.
