commission should begin. When the
plans for the new organization
assume definite form later this matter
will doubtless be taken up and discus
sed in detail by the harbor commits

Favor More Control.
Commissioners Wakefield and Nc
Carthy expressed views decidedly IN
favor of the harbor commissions con-
troll of the private wharves.
I'VE already regulate the charges at
the public wharves, and to a certain
extent those at certain private
wharves," said Mr. Wakefield. This
is in line with our regular duty, and
if a public utilities commission is
formed, it will not and in natural rea-
son should not take this responsibility
from the harbor commission.
LAS we are in close touch with
these matters we would be better
able, because of our acquaintance
with conditions, to attend to all
wharfage regulations. | am certain
the coming Legislature will be asked
to give the board of harbor commits
sioners this power, and there is little
doubt that that body will accede to
such request"
Commissioner Wakefield, requested
recently by the harbor commission to
prepare figures showing the wharf sit
uation in the Territory, has prepared
his report in part, and it contains
some interesting figures.
One of the most important of these
is that the Territory owns wharves
now worth approximately 100000,
that it is paylEg out about $4,000 an
nually for repairs, upkeep and inter
est alone, and that the income de-
rived from wharfage charges at these
does not make them anywhere near
self-supporting.
Advocates Higher Rates.
AS a result, Mr.. Wakefield intends
recommending shortly that wharfage
rates at the public piers be raised
materially, so that the Territory will
not be continually losing money on
the proposition.
Lindsay's Opinion.
The opinion of Attorney General
Alex Lindsay, submitted to the board
of harbor commissioners yesterday,
in which he decides that under the
present Territorial law that body has
no power to control rates charged the
public at private wharves, is publish
ed in full below:
I'm re the question submitted for
my opinion on October 3rd, viz: as
to the authority of the Board, if any
over all landings (both public and
priVate) and further, as to the rights
of the Board to fix rates of dockage
wharfage and other rates upon all
public and private wharves and land
ings in the Territory of Hawaii
beg to say:
There can be no doubt that the
Board of HarbOr Commissioners has
authority over all public landings in
the Territory and may fix rates of
dockage, wharfage and other rates
upon same, for such authirty is eX,

Laws 1911. The question. however,

1T would seem under the authori-
ties that where a person uses his
property, e.g., a wharf, in such man
ner as to affect the public interest,
the Legislature may to reasonable
extent regulate the charges.
AT present, however, | am of the
opinion that the Legislature has not
authorized the Board of Harbor Com
missioners to fix or regulate charges
made by owners of private wharves or
landings which are used in business
of a Quasi-public nature. The power
given the board by the Legislature in
section of Act 1853, Session Laws
1911, to make, alter and amend rules
respecting charges, fees and compen-
sation for the storage of, and the du-
ties and powers of carriers, shippers
and consignees in and to any such
freight, goods, wares and merchandise
in and upon any landing. dock or
public wharf within the Territory is
! not, in my opinion, broad enough to
include privately-owned wharves."

One of the pledges that every Legislative can
didate in Hawaii may we'll give the people is
that he will support an act giving Honolulu the
right to assess abuttiAy property for municipal
improvements. The Republican convention did
not wish to incorporate this plank in the plat
form and it missed being presented to the DEM
ocratic convention, but it is clearly needed, it is
the logical way of getting public improvements,
and it affords the board of supervisors a direct
way of getting improvements put through.

SANE TREATMENT FOR THE INSANE

One Of the most important subjects that has
been taken up at the International Congress of
Hygiene and Demography, at Washington,
which DIR. j. :. b. Pratt and other Hawaiian
medical experts are attending has been that of
treatment of the insane According to the fig
urrs presented there were 1S4,712 insane pa
tients in American hospitals last year, and they
cost the people of the United States 100000
in twelve months. More than half of this insan-
ity is prpventable, it is contended, and the con-
gress discussed means to prevent it.
The cost of maintenance for the unfortunate
inmates of institutions for the insane eXacts a
tax of slightly less than one dollar for every
adult male in the United States.
"Non-restraint' is the slogan of the commit
tee on insanity which has established branches
or state committees in more than half the states.
1t is the newest propaganda in all medicine. say
it's promoters. The movement is less than five
years old.

Y. M. C. A. DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors of the Y. NJ.
&. A. met at noon today in the board
rooms in the association building, and
reports of the different departments
were submitted One of the most i'm
portant items of the meetings business
was the election of over one hundred
new members to the association.
The membership of the association is
growing larger each month, and some
ideas have been entertained as to a
separate building for the boys de-
partment. However, this is future,
hut such a building will probably be
necessary in the course of few years
if the membership keeps growing as
it has since the dedication of the new
building.

CLOVER VS.. ALFALFA HAY.

CLOVER vs.. ALFALFA Hal.
Question: There seems to be a
great difference of opinion up here
as to the relative values of clover hay
and alfalfa hay as COW feed. One
party contending that alfalfa can be
fed alone and give as good or better
results than clover and bran and
shorts.
We can get clover hay f o. b. car
here for S11 per ton. This clover is
not A l class, as it has been rained
on little and is slightly bleached.
Alfalfa, first class, costs us about $40
f. o. b. car here. Bran and shorts
mixed costs about S27 per ton here.
Can you tell me which will give the
best results? d. c., Metaline Falls,
Wash.
Answer: Regarding the feed value
of clover as compared with alfalfa
hay l wish to say that if they are
both properly cured, there is very
little difference. AS a rule, alfalfa
has a slightly higher percentage of
digestible nutrients, and in the in
stance you have mentioned, where
the clover is not of first class.
should think that the alfalfa is to be
preferred. The latter is a balanced
ration for a COW yielding a large
amount of milk, but it is not possible
for any COW to eat enough of the hay
to furnish the nutrients required,
that is, she does not have the
capacity. For that reason alfalfa hay
must be supplemented by some grain.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-11-15

give from 20 to 40 pounds of milk per
day. What seems to bother me in
balancing my ration is that [ do not
know what the nutritive value of the
barley and pea silage is, SO if you
have any data on this kind of silage |
would be pleased to have it. Would
you advise me what kind of barley
would be the best and the most pro-
ductive and and where [ might get
enough seed to plant five acres of it?
J. E. W., Arlington, Wash.
Answer: | might state from the
outset that barley alone is a feed that
is high in carbohydrates, but when
peas are mixed with it, it makes very
nearly balanced ration, at least so
far as the dry matter is concerned.
From the feeds that you have men
toned [ would allow the COWS to eat
as much of the clover hay as they
will consume, and from 20 TO 30
pounds of barley and pea silage daily.
For the grain ration would select a
mixture of two parts rolled barley
and one part dried brewers grains,
and one part bran; feeding one pound
of this mixture to every three and
one-half pounds of milk produced.
1t matters very little as to the kind
of barley you use, since they are
nearly the same in composition.
Oats may be substituted for barley,
but in that case it would be we'll to
use less of the brewers grains and
the bran. If the barley and pea silage
contains more peas than barley, it
might be necessary to add more roll
ed barley or some other grain rich in
carbohydrates to the grain ration,
but believe that otherwise the ration
is about what you would need.

PLANS FOR DAIRY BARN.
Question:: I want to build a plain,
inexpensive COW barn for about fifteen
COWS, three horses and about ten head
of young stock. My idea now is to
leave the COWS face outward and also
to have the cream room under the
same roof separated from main barn
for cream room might be utilized
for a tool room or root house. This
is only my present ideas and are not
very we'll rooted. Can you give me
any information on this subject, OF
advise me where to secure plans fO1
same? w. j. S., Skam okawa, Wash
Answer: 1t would seem that it is
not desirable to keep your fifteen
COWS and three horses In the same
barn, at least without having tight
partition between the horses and the
COWS. The young stock should also
be in a separate building for the
reason that the barn is the place where
the milk is to be produced and the
more animals we have in the barn
the more the chances are for the
stirring up of dust which will gel
into the milk. I think it would be
desirable to face the COWS in rather
than out, in this way the light from
the outside will fall directly into the
gutter and the stall itself will be
more easily cleaned. | like your idea
of having the cream room separate,
AMI if it is convenient, so as to enable
the mixers to carry the milk from
each COW into the milk room for cool
ing or for separating, you will be
able to produce the highest class OF
milk or cream. BY all means, provide
for plenty of light and ventilation.
Have a tight ceiling above the COWS
to prevent dust from above falling
down, and make the construction
smooth throughout SO as to allow nc
chance for dust and dirt to collect.
The stanchions should be swinging
rather than rigid, and should be OF
wood or iron. Cutters should be al
least sixteen inches wide and six in
ches deep. This will prevent the
COWS from standing in the cutters
and will go long way towards keep
ing them clean. The windows should
be evenly distributed and so arranged
that that they could be tilted fol
ventilation.

for it, AS to whether it would be
