ent and the immediate future. Tne sugar industry hero must ei
ther fight the trust of bdtf its n'eoli to the yoke of perpetual low
prices, and the fight should be begun at once: The first step
should he to erect a sugar refinery at! some central point on the
Islands,' s.iy at Kahului, to which cent'raY pol'n't all the sugar on the
Islands could be cheaply shipped by a line of" steamers owned by
the combined Island planters,' who should operatle the line to the
coast and to eastern ports. With a vast refinery to niiridle all the
filand susrui at the doors of the trust, the planters' would' be in a
position to' make a winning fight. Because as soon as the planters'
begin to cut prices' on the mainland the trust wlil, in' self protec-'

Thtrt is a sayinif like this: "The

tropical middle clase farmer is yet to

'sort following to recruit these

strongly and steadily, as in truly
tropical countries, toward the pre

ditions, with the Big; Proprietor,
tne iNitrtfor ana the everglade mos
quito to the fore.r
The Base of the middle class north
ern farmer's prosperity is his fodder
growths? his hy an groin, his
turnips,' mangolds and potatoes, fed
to stock, furnish him meat and dairy
products for home use and for the
market; it gives him cash to pay his
help and to buv his moderate supply
of luxuries, besides manure to return
to bis fiVlds. The proven fodder piant
is the grand thing that Hawaii lacks,
but in the one nlant manioc, irenerallv
called' tapioca,' I believe we have the
elements of the most of the North
ern fodder products named.
It grows well in ralnj districts as
also where it is moderately dry. In
rich soil the best, but will grow fairly
well in poor,. arid fertilizers will even
up this poor soil with the rich. In
eight months' it is ready for use, but
will keep oo' growing for a year or
eighteen months, and will long after
remain, sound becoming somewhat
tough arid fibrous but still fit for use
Homes, caiuc ana pigs will grow
and fatten upon it and so will sheep,
or goats or poultry.- Not readily at

them to it and thev come to relish it.

a rude, home made machine can
grate a half ton a day Growth,, dig
ging und grating costs less than the
same bulk of potatoes prepared for
pig feed, and I venture to say that
the manioc contains twice the nutri
ment of the potato. Then for starch
it Is superior to the potato and takes
the place of other starches, not ouly
for laundry purposes , but also the
place of edible starchee, such as corn
sturch, and is a close rival, of arrow
root for infants and invalids. Finally
i roasted or baked, and then mashed
flattened out into cakes, then dried
by sunshine or artificial heat, it be
comes the tapioca of commerce aud
shows up this very day on thousauds
of table's as tapioca pudding.
Fresh from tho pounding process
we frequently set it before child reu,
and the pudding dish is always well
patronized. To a pound of this pre
pared article put a beaten egg with
a'little milk and sugar to suit the
taste, and it is not only a palatable
but it is also a bigh nutritious dish.
The starch has been manufactured in
a small way in thic country for nearly
or quite fiftj years, and is yet sold in
ome of our groceries, but it seems
never to have been harnessed In ut a
fodder plant as it might have been in
connection with Ktarch manufacture
for stock seem to eat the by-product
with the same relish as if the starch
had not been washed out. Perhaps
one reason for this yi that there is
very little if any such industry as the
stalk feeding of catt'e this side of
Iown unless it might be' in Utah, so
the Idea does not readily occur.
Perhops another reason is that
most animals manifest so much aver
sion to this food when first offered
them that the owner gives it up.

In Florida the beef question Is being
rapidly solved by th use of tlris
plant,reach locality in tho extreme
south raising its own beef instead of
depending upon the long horned
piney barrens untamed steer; and
the people are supolied with supir

Don t we need some of that sort
here? Don't wet Was ever an ni
stall-Veil in this country for beef?
In the more densely peopled conn

thousands of men are employed in tak
ing stock cattle from scant pastures
at home and others from the docks
from abroad, aud housed and cleanrd
as if they were to be show cattle and
fed partly with oil cake and other
imported fodder; and the beef is sold
almost as cheap as we get it (con

The Great 8Loui Fair.
The country at large has scarcely
realized upon what a grand scale St.
Louis is constructing the exhibition
which she will invito the woildtovis
it next summer. The Louisiana Pur
chase Exposlnion, as it is called, is to
break all records in characteristic
Western fashion. The Centennial at
Philadelphia . covered : two hundred
and thirty-six acres; the Paris fair
of tl ree years ago, three hundred
and thirty six acres; the Chicago
display of .1893, six hundred amd
thirty-three acres. St. Louis, wit,h
nearly twelve hundred acres, will
make all of these look small. '
. Again, the Centennial cost about
eight and a half million of dollars to
construct; the Paris exhibition, nitjc
millions.The total cost of the Chicago
fair was much larger,' amounting,, to
some twenty-seven millionsbut here
again Jst. Louis comes to the front,
for it is estimated that when she
opens the gates of her big'cxposition,
it will represent an investment of no
less than forty millions.;
If tho undertaking is the success
that it promises to be, e happy re
sult will be due to its president more
than to any one ptherman. David
r .l ' a . ' ''
iv. rrancis, woo nas Deen mayor
of tt. Louis, Governor pf Missouri,
and Secretary of the Interior, aud
who is one ot the representative mm
of his city and State, has done re
markably skilful work In promoting
the interests of the exposition. In
his appointed task of cafjlng the at
tention of the world to its ImDortanee
he has shown himself a diplomatist of
no mean order, as .well as a "hustler
ot the true American type. In the
arly spring be made a trip to Europe
to secure attractions of various sorts
and within two weeks he succeeded
in buttonholing three kings nnd
president. The sovereign of Britain
promised to send Queen Victoria's
jubilee presents to St. Louis. The
Aaiser will exhibit some family plate
and other Hohenzollern treasures.
Two or three minor royal ties-among
tbenr the Prince of "Wales and Prince
Henry of Prussia are said to. have
expressed their intention of coming
over in person, and thereby eoulri
buting still more effectively to the
eclat of the exposition. Mr. Francis
