many growing pains from one single cause, over competition.
The carriage and harness business has felt b for months, the beer
and whiskey interests begin to feel it, cigars will be the next and
several other fancy linos will suffer. No particular trouble will
be experienced in staple lines, and the only remedy, tho "sur

The first class war vessel of today is a powerful machine, but it is
also a terrible consumer of coal. For that reason Germany could
make but little use of her war vessels against the United States
except within a narrow radius of her base of coal supply. German
war vessels are found all over tho world today, which obtain coal

Early Wheat Growln on Maui.
lt will porhaps be news to boitio of
tlie newcomers on Maui to know that
ti,is island was a largo wheat produc-

years ago.
Prior to and at the 1 hue of tho dis
covery of gold in California, a large
area of the Makawuo nnd kula Dis
tricts was devoted to the raising of
wheat and potatoes.
The discovery of gold in California
greatly stimulated this Industry, and
many Hawaiians from Wailuku and
other portions of Mam moved to
Makawao and Kula and engaged in
the raising of wheat and potatoes fur
the California market.
The labor of harvesting the whert

five lingered cradle of our fathers,
and later reapers and self binders
were introduced. Some of the wheat
was shipped direct to California, but
much of it was cround and shinned
as Hour. .
At that time there were two flour
mills in Wailuku, one of which siood
just mauka of the present Maui Soda A
lee Co. s works on the road to Kahului
where afterwards the Hawaiian Fruit
& Taro Co. had its works established
and the other, a much large one,
stood on tho street leading from
Eligh Street to Manager Wells' resi
dence about half way. Both of these
were water powfcr mills and turned
0ut large quantities of first class flour.
There were two large stores and
warehouses at Kahului and one at
Kalepolcpo, beyond Kihei, the latter
of which is still standing
From 1S50 to 1SU0 there was a
heavy demand for Mam Hour and
potatoes in California, and it was
not uncommon to see at times, eight
or ten vessels lying in Kahului harbor
waiting to load for the coast. Those
were flush times on Maui and every
oody was making money. Flour
brought a big price and potatoes sold
I for $8 Per bbl. 'WttCOtt were scarce
and the natives made truck carts,
with solid wheels, tired with bands of
iron. At harvest time me produce

of these carts, to each of which two

the wheat would be beyond danger
of the pest, planting just after one
raid and before a second raid could
be inaugurated by the worm. Where
this precaution was not observed,
whole fields of wheat would be des
troyed in three or four days
By 1859-00, California had begun to
produce her own breadstuff and ceas
ed to ship from the Islands. Potatoes
went down from $8 to iti per bbl.. and
in 18(10 tho demand for them as wel las
for Maui flour entirely ceased.There

At the price which California hay
is now bringing on Maui, it, ought to
prove a profitable industry to raise
wheat for hay on Maui, and it is the
purpose of several farmers in th
luauawao and iuia uistncts to ox
periment in this direction in the
near future.

6or-e Head Jn Chickens.
The following letter in the Adver !
User 1.3 a reply to the letter of Mr.
John Horner, republished in last
week's News. Chicken raisers on
Maui are requested to experiment
on tho lines laid down in these letters
and communicate tho results of their
experiments to the News.
Editor Advertiser: I was pleased
to read in Monday's issue a letver
from Mr. J. Horner, on "soreheads" of
chickens, in which he advises hot
salted water as a cure. Mr. Horner
kindly refers to Mr. .Jared Smith.
but does not quite understand what
that geutle'ir.en is doing. Mr. Smith
is trying to find the cause of a disease
in the bill of chickens, not the reme
dies for curing such, several remedies
being already well known, as kero
sena oil, hot water, carbolic salve, a
mixture of kerosene oil, cedar oil,
blucstone, carbolic acid and lard. I
presume Mr. Horner includes in his
"sorehead'' three distinct diseases.
Thero is the thin scab around the
eyes of very young chickens, caused
by vermin. This is cured by rubbing
lard under tho wings of the mother
hen. It is prevented by keeping the
chicken pons clean aud putting a
little tobicco under the setting hens.
A second disease is a thiok scab on
the bill, which often spreads to the
eyes, it is caused, l tuintt, oy Dad
blood, aud the chicken catching cold
shortly after leaving' the brooding
hen. I am however, experimenting,
and I will let the public know when
find out the cause.-
Mosquitoes, poor blood, vermin,
mangoes, dry iced, "sometlnnji in
he ground," hot climate, want of
jreeufood, want of good sarrd. etc..
re uot the direct causes ns some
people supposed. They may weaken
the chicken?, cause bad blood, etc.,
and so help to develop tho disease.
Tho usual remedies cure this disease
if applied by skillful hands in time.
A third disease of Mr. Horner's
sorehead" is a swelled eye, usually
in hens, caused mostly by catching
cold and may be caused by vermin.
In this, bathe with warm water and
apply lard. .
I thank Mr. Horner for his public
spirit, and you for space.
Yours,
