We speak of the above books be-

POPULARITY OF UKULELE
KEEPING HAWAIIAMS BUSY
Manufacturers Can't Meet the Demand
for This Musical instrument In
United States.

The vogue Of the Hawaiian ukulele
in the United States has resulted in
making the manufacture Of that musi-
cal instrument one Of the important
industries of the Hawaiian islands In
the past few months, says one Of Un-
Gle Sans Representatives In Honolu-
lu. AT the end Of August, 1915, manu-
facturers were turning out about 500
or 600 Instruments month, while q
year later the output had been in
creased to 1000 a month and the de-
mand from United States music deal.
ers could not be met.
There are eight principal manufac-
turers of ukuleles In Honolulu, with
a scattering OF instruments coming
from small makers In the other
islands. Each manufacturer has
turned his small workshop into d fac
tory, adding new workers and increas-
ing the plant as rapidly as possible.
A company recently was organized in
Honolulu with plans to manufacture
from 1000 to 1000 ukuleles per month
with improved machinery, the work
ers to be Hawaiians and Portuguese.
The originator of the ukulele, a
Portuguese who Is now head of a man
ufacturing company, is still an active
worker in his own factory, and turns
out about 100 instruments per month.
Another Honolulu firm produces about
400 month.
The Hawaiians and Portuguese Of
Hawaii claim that the instruments
made by them, especially of koa wood.
are seasoned and properly prepared.
The highest-priced products are heav-
lily beaded. The tone Is one of the
most important items in the construc-
tion of the ukulele. and the Hawaiians
and Portuguese claim that this is OBJ

seasoned koa wood and proper atten-
ton paid to shaving the wood and fit.
ting 1t.
The plans of the new companies
forming, and of old factories being en-
larged, will give an output close to
1900 per month. or $4,000 per year.

Larkspur is only exceeded by the
loco plant as a destroyer Of life among
domestic herbiyorOus animals, 1t has
been found by an exhaustive study con-
Quoted by the U. S. department Of ag-
riculture. The losses from larkspur
have been reported from all regions
between Mexico and Canada. Rocky
Mountains and Pacific coast. Cattle
suffer most from this poisoning, re-
cent experiments having proved that
sheep can eat larkspur without danger,
while horses do not seem to relish the
plants and so seldom are injured. Any
animal, to be injured by larkspur, re-
cent experiments Of the department
showed must consume a quantity of
the weeds equal TO at least per cent
Of its weight.
In the opinion OF the Investigators.
the fact that sheep are apparently able
to feed upon larkspurs with entire i'm
punity may be utilized In some cases
to protect the cattle. Where larkspur
Is especially abundant. II is desirable
to use the range for sheep rather than
for cattle or TO combine sheep grazing
and cattle grazing in such manner
that the areas infested with larkspur
shall be first eaten down by the sheep.
On comparatively limited areas 1t may
be possible to dig up the tall larkspnr,
but this is frequently too costly a
measure to be adopted and, further
more, II is rarely possible TO eradicate
completely the poisonous weed.

CREOSOTE ON The FARM
Value Shown in Model Construct
ed for Uncle Sam.
Its Use Decreases Waste Of Energy
Consumed In the Making Of Too
Frequent Repairs, 10 the Claim
Made for This Material.

The use Of creosote for lengthening
| the period Of service Of timbers on the
farm is illustrated In small model
farm which has just been Installed In
Uncle Sans forest products labora-
tory, at Madison, Wis. This model
and a similar one which is being used
for exhibit purposes by the National
Lumber Manufacturers association
were made by Dean A. Schweichard
who graduated this year from the
manual arts course Of the University
Of Wisconsin.
The green fields and orchards sur
rounding the farm are inclosed with
fences supported by fence posts with
well-creosoted butts. Near the barn is
an open-tank treating plant. a desir-
able addition to the equipment of any
farm. 1t consists Of one or more
strong makes which may be heated
either by fire built beneath or by
steam coils II a steam boiler is avail
able. A wooden silo with creosoted
slaves is also shown. In the local tele-
phone line which passes the farm the
poles are creosoted from the butt to
point well above the ground line.
The porch sills. steps and the tim
bers In the bridge across the creek
have also been treated with the oil to
prevent decay which occurs most read
lily In such damp locations where there
Is a poor circulation Of air. Even the
railroad which crosses one corner Of
the pasture shows a good penetration
Of creosote In the cross ties on which
the tracks are laid. The wood blocks
with which the barn is paved also
have their share Of preservative treat
ment.
Although the effects Of the creosote
treatments are at first sight inconspic-
uous, yet they contribute to the we'll
kept appearance of the buildings and
grounds. The general air of thrift is
the result Of efficient utilization which
decreases the waste OF energy con-
sumed In making too frequent repairs.

great groups Of larkspurs-the tall and
the low. The low disappear from the
range early in July and cases Of poi
soning from them are usually confined
to the months of May and June. The
tall larkspurs live through the summer
season, making their first appearance
in early spring. This is the time In
which they are the most poisonous. Al.
ter blossoming, their poisonous char.
acter appears to diminish. Ultimately.
1t disappears and the plant dries up
although the seeds remain poisonous.
In Colorado, most of the cases of poi
soning from the tall larkspur occur In
May and June, with sporadic cases In
July. In other localities, however, the
larkspurs blossom later and poisoning
may occur as late as August or even
September. Rare cases have been re-
ported in October.

the animal has been poisoned Is fire.
