Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. B0WSFiELD

Neglect of the pastures is common
fault of American farmers. Owners of
small places cannot expect a full meas
rlre of success unless they get proper
returns from every acre. The lahd
used for pasturage is fully as impQr-
tant as the rest OF the farm and should
be made to yield good results.
Whether the dairy is used for the
production Of high class butter or mere
~ to provide common grade of com
mercial milk, the owner will find diff
ference Of SO 10 $50 in the yearly earl

Mixtures of grasses are much better
from every point of view than grasses
grown separately. Mixtures yield more
when cut for hay and provide more
pasturage as wen as longer paSturlne

EDITOR
FRANCIS w. DAMON.

Another of Hawaiis loyal sons has passed
on to the Higher Life and left IA record of ac-
accomplishment that is only occasionally equaled
| Francis w. Damon was u man of fine person
ality, unbounded enthusiasm and optimism,
strong wil-power and devotion to higher
ideals. Born in the islands, reared in an earn
est Christian home receiving his early educa-
ton at Punahou and completing his collegiate
course at Amherst College, he returned to the
islands to devote his life to education and re-
iigious work.
More than any other HAL III the islands did
he devote himself to the Chinese. Setting him
self ardently to the study of their language, he
soon learned to speak it fuently. Thus was lie
able to enter into the homes and gatherings of
the Chinese where he always had word of
cheer, inspiration and encouragement. He
realized that the greatest opportunity lay in
educating the young Chinese and so in 1892,
with Mrs. Damon, he opened his home to
Chinese boys and started Christian boarding
school, This developed under his earnest and
devoted leadership into the Mills School, which
is now a part of the Mid Pacific Institute, and
where POO students are now annually enrolled.
He was one of the leaders in the founding of
the Mid Pacific Institute, and was president of
its board of managers ...-
Mr.. Damon, however, did not confine himself
to the Chinese, but devoted many of his talents
in other directions. He was deeply interested
in Oahu College and served for Is years as
trustee, and gave literally of his time, thought
and energy to its development and advance
ment ~#. .."
His love of music and his artistic nature
showed itself on many occasions and particu-
larry in school, church and public celebrations.
He was practically the founder of the kinder
garten in these islands, having gathered his
ideas from observations while he was acting as
secretary to the Hawaiian minister, Hon. II. A.
p. Carter, in Berlin, Germany, where he spent
three years. . .~..~ -. ....#
No task seemed too difficult to him of ae-
and he always gave himself most
freely and willingly to everything which he
felt was for the development and uplift of
mankind

THEY'VE SUCCEEDED.

H. p Wood has been ousted as secretary of
the Promotion Committee by the majority mem
bers of the committee who have been trying for
months to fire. him. The Star-Buletin be-
lieves the action is unfair as the fight has been
unfair. Mr.. Wood S opponents were unable to
pin to him any single act to which they could
make objection and finally took refuge in the
assertion that the secretary is out of sympathy
with the home promotion work" AS to that
there is plenty of opinion to the contrary from
men who have worked with Wood for years and
know that he believed in "home promotion,
but felt that with limited funds the greatest
emphasis should be put in advertising Hawaii
abroad
Having sousted Wood, Messrs. Thurston,
Hollinger and Field will doubtless proceed to
name his successor, see that he is put in office
and continue the policy that has brought them
criticism from all over the territory.
