One Of the most frequent questions
asked in regard to grazing is, How
many hogs will an acre carry?" 1t is
impossible to answer such a general
question in a very definite way. 1t
IAN be answered approximately in the
following way.
Hogs from eight to twelve months
old ought to average a pound and q
half to two pounds Of grain per day
during the ~fattening period. We know
approximately the amount of food re-
Quired to make this amount Of grain,
and II we make a guess of the yield
we can make an appropriate guess Of
the number Of hogs required to con-
sumo the crop in a given time. A
crop of rs bushels of corn, with the &C
companying cowpeas, ought to make

lent of feed for n hog for 200 days.
II we want to that amount in
~ days, it would require seven hogs.
IL the hogs are of mixed ages, includ-
ing pigs. it will carry an average of
ten to twelve hogs per acre. Peanuts
would make a little more pork per
acre than corn, but when the carbohy-
drates are added to more nearly bal

tanned for as long a time on peanuts
as the corn will carry them. The same
acreage In sweet potatoes will carry
the hogs from one and one-half to two
times as long as an acre Of corn. If the

in feeding the pigeons.
About one-half supplied tobacco
stems as the entire or for part of the

used pine needles, cut p~ea-vines, and

The average annual profit per pair
of breeders varied from 80 cents to So,
and averaged $1.52; the feed cost from
IS cents to 50, with an average Of
$1.32. All sold squads for market. The
average price for the year received per
dozen squads varied from 81 to $4.62.
and averaged $3.43.
The number Of squads marketed
from each pair of pigeons varied from
10 to 20, and averaged 1871; the weight
per dozen squads varied from 6 to IL
pounds, and averaged 9 pounds. Squads
were marketed at four weeks, except
from two farms, where the average
age of marketing was given as four
and one-half weeks.

A large number Of replies were re.

than 300 pigeons. Their answers In

the pigeons were beneficial to the
farms and ate many weed seeds. The

CHIVALRY IN war
RECORD Is NOT ALL ONE OF
DEATH AND PAIN.
Stories That Come rom the Trenches
In Europe Recall Similar Instances
Of Gallant Deeds by American
Revolutionary Soldiers.

A gallant foe respects the courage
of his enemy. From the fighting line
in France came lately the story how
a German officer, under suspicion Of
having improperly surrendered a for
titled angle Of the German trenches
that was shortly after retaken by his
compatricts, was only saved from pun
ishment and the ruin of his career by
a F~renchman whom he had severely
wounded. The French soldier, on his
way to a hospital prison, learned by
chance Of the accusation, and he in
sisted, at the cost Of frightful pain
and exhaustion-for his wound was
in the cheek and jaw-upon debating
the testimony that cleared the man
who had nearly killed him and had
d~isfigured him for life.
A notable instance Of a soldiers
chivalrous defense Of his enemy's rep.
utation occurs in the history Of our
own country. as an American historian
has pointed out.
John Calender. an artillery captain
at the battle Of Bunker Hill. was
caught by General Putnam in the very

dered back under pain of being shot.

At least, SO 1t appeared; although the
fact was that they had broken away
not to fly, but to fight in the ranks
with muskets snatched from the dying
and dead. But the court-martial thai
tried the unhappy captain cashieret
him for cowardice.
At once Calender did a brave
thing: Drawer than fighting. although
it meant fighting, too. Deprived O

unjust condemnation. His conduct 8

Albert F. Judd, former territorial
senator in a letter recently written to
Supervisor Francis M. Hatch, strongly
urges greater powers of self-goVern-
ment for Honolulu. III. -. -.
He declares in favor of more cen
tralized and responsible municipal
government. reducing the number OF
elective officers to the mayor, super

He urges that the city have the
right to fix the tax-rate, that the city
have much broader powers OF con-
demning private property for public
purposes, and that the officials
named by the people be given greater
authority otherwise. r .,
In response, Supervisor Hatch
wrote a brief note expressing himself
as interested in Attorney Judd's
views, and adding that he hopes Judd
will include in his schedule of reform
the repeal of the primary election
law.

Ny dear Mr.. Hatch: Your attitude
OF service to the public as shown
by your accepting position on the
Board Of Supervisors of the City and
County of Honolulu, has caused much
favorable comment. / venture to
write you on the subject of why the
leaders of Honolulu's commercial and
other affairs (excluding things po-

city as public servants, These men
are free with their criticisms at all
times, especially those who ride in
automobiles over our bumpy roads,
or those who have to bathe in Nuuanu
water, and the criticism generally
ends up in vigorous condemnation
of the personnel of the Board Of
Supervisors.
consider such criticism short
sighted and not comprehensive.
We have municipal organization
which is not as efficient as the mem

largely that of the people of Homo
