COLLEGE OF HAWAII FARMS
TEST SHOWS VALUE OF FEED
FOR HOGS OF ALGAROBA meal
Professor Of Agriculture Henke Announces Results Of 9. ESpe
men and Gives News important to Pig Rancers OF ISLANDS
Torn Ration Most Rapid in Gains But Not Economical

following inscription, First Algaroba
tree of the Hawaiian Islands, imported
and planted in 1928 by Father Baene.
lot, founder of the Catholic Mission.
During the eighty years since its IN
PRODUCTION it has spread everywhere
and now covers hundreds of acres
which once were waste land. The in
of this leguminous tree has
been a distinct blessing to the live
stock men of Hawaii. Once each year
the tree produces crop of pods when
when ripe turn yellow and fall to the
ground where they are gathered up by
children who sell them to the feed
COMPANIES who with specially con-
structed mills are able to grind the
sweet sticky pods to a meal and this
meal is retailed like other feeds. II
contains both the pod, which is
distinctly sweet to the taste because
of its high sugar content, and the
beans about the size of mustard seed
within the pods. Cattle and hogs will
and in pastures do eat these pods di'
rectly as they fall from the trees. II
is commonly assumed that in this un'
ground state the beans within the
nod which are rich in protein pass
through the animal undigested. xvi
dence on this point, however, is lacking
and even iS they should pass through
undigested it may well be questions
whether the loss in this manner jIsti'
flies the present high price of the
meal as contrasted with the pods.
An experiment to determine the rela'
tive efficiency of this feed In the form
of algaroba meal or unground algaroba
pods is now in progress at the College
of Hawaii Farm. Algaroba pods in
many sections can be had for the pick
ing at the present time and the cost
OF picking by hand when done by chill
dren is usually under ten dollars pei
ton as contrasted with fifty-two dol
lars per ton. the present price Of the
meal in Honolulu.
In an experiment lust finished at the
College of Hawaii an attempt was
made to discover the relative values
of different rations, two of them con
tanning algaroba meal. A litter OF
nine pigs from pure bred Berkshire
SOW was divided into three uniform
lots of three each on February 2S.
1917. This litter was born on Deem

congress, as we'll as a number oil
younger members who are looked ut'

Angus Erly, Washington newspa'

as one of those accompanying the
congressional party which visited
here in the spring of 1915, is in full
charge Of the present trip. Delegate
Kuhio left Washington before the ses'

tails of the party have been left to
Erly. He has selected many of those
TO whom invitations were extended
and arranged the program Of patriotic
meetings on the westward trip.
This program has been printed al
ready in the Star-Bulletin. It contem
plates a series of meetings at cities
and towns from st. Louis to San Fran

from San Francisco on November l.
Arrangements are already vel
along here for the reception and en-
tertainment of the distinguished
guests.
The latest news from Erly is thai

Several matters are evident from a
study of these individual weights the
most striking of which is that the
differences in size between pigs of the
same litter tend to become greater as
the hogs grow older-i- short the
srunt of the litter tends to remain
understood. Secondly the differences
between individual gains being great
er than those between lot gains there
may be some considerable question as
to how much dependence can be
placed on the variations between the
tots. No doubt more experimental
work must be done along this line to
make the results conclusive, but in

1mnortant conclusions on the yalue
of the algaroba bean as q 1eea lot
bors are given in a paper by l.. A.
Hem professor of agriculture at the
college of Hawaii, as the result Oh
feeding test recently completed.
He finds in brief:
/. A standard corn belt ration pro-
duces the most rapid but not the most
economical gains, owing to the nien
prlces Of the feeds in Hawaii
3. Alcaroba meal seems to possess
considerable merit as a hog FEED.
3. Wheat niddinss fed together
With sluaroba meal produces more
economical gains than rice bran rec
with aiaaroba meal biased on speehlc
tests fully outIinedl and this IN spite
az the fact that wheat n1iddllnss costs
on an average Of SIC per ton more
than rice bran.
The tests wee carried on at the
fyoliere of Hawaii farm from February
ss 1917. to September %, 1917.
prof. Henke's paper is as follows:
