Krauss Through Scientific Methods. Editor "Maul News" In a recent issue of tho Maul News under the caption "Will study tho cost of mule feed", are given some inter esting figures relative to the cost of feeding mules on Molokal and Maul. In one caso it cost at the rate of $11.80 per head per month to feed six head, and In the other it cost $26.00 per head per month to feed three head, or more than double the cost to feed those In one lot than In the other. Your article does not state whether these costs represent cost of feed alone, or whether cost of attendance Is also Included. Nor does it state whether both lots of mules were do ing like service, or whether they were of about equal slzo and age. Of course each of these Items arc inlleunclng factors in the amount of feed con sumed, and are independent of tho intllal cost of tho feed. Tho most In fluencing factor in tho wide difference In costs, is however, probably to bo found In the kinds and costs of the feed fed. Under local conditions, work mules weighing 1100 to 1200 pounds, when in active service, will consume approxi mately 1C pounds of whea't hay and 1G pounds barley per day At prices ruling in Honolulu In January, I.e. $25.00 per ton for wheat hay and $3S.OO for rolled barley, plus $5.80 per ton for freight from Honolulu, brings the cost of feeding at Haiku as fol lows : lGlb wheat hay $30.80 pet- ton 24G4 161b lolled barley $43.80 per ton 3504 Total cost of feed per day.$ .G0G8 This is equivalent to $18.50 per month of 31 days. Contractors generally roughly esti mate the cost of feeding nnd caring for heavy work mules at approximate ly $1.00 per day. Thus it will be seen that the higher figure quoted in your article approximates a cost about midway between tho theoretical cost of the feed alone and that estimated by extensive feeders for care and feed. It would be Interesting to know under just what conditions tho two lots of mules were fed. The cost of $11.80 per head per month as credited to Molokal would certainly be a low cost of feeding for good sized mules In active work, and it is hoped that the methods pursued may be made available to horse and mule owners in the Territory generally. The writer has been feeding four to six head of work horses and mulcts, weighing 1150 to 1350 pounds each, at his homestead near Haiku since July, 1912. During the first year and a half all feed was bought. The average cost per head for feed alone was $24.50 per month, while the animals were at heavy hauling and plowing. During the past year the cost for feed has been reduced to just one-half of tho cost during the first year and a half. The work stock Is thriving fully as well now as then, If not better. The coat of feeds Is fully as high now, if not higher, than during the earlier period. In the hope that our present meth ods of feeding might prove suggestive to others, wo give below the feeding formula as fed at the present time, together with the former ration with cost at present prices for comparison. Dally Feeding Ration as fed at Now Era Homestead Farm, Haiku, Maul. For horses weighing 1250 to 1350 pounds, and mules weighing 1100 to 1200 pounds at hard field labor. Roughage. 40 to 50 pounds Para grass (Panl- cus mollo), cane tops, sorghum or Hi lo grass, run through feed cutter, ? $5.00 per ton 1)25 Grain Mixture. 51b Algaroba Meal 35.80 0895 51b Alfalfa Meal $30.00 0750 5 lb Rolled Barley $40.00 1000 lib Molasses $15.00 0075 lGlb. $0.3751 This 13 equivalent to $11.G4 per month or practically tho same as the costs of feeding accredited to Molo kal in your recent article. Tho above ration can be modified unllmitedly de pending upon the feeds available and their relative costs. Whec norn is plentiful wo grind it into a meal in eluding tho cobs, as a substitute for the barley and at a considerable sav ing; when cull beans, or cow peas and bean straw are available we grind theso and substitute for tho alfalfa meal at a further reduction of cost The substitution of what middlings when not too high In price, for part of tho abovo ration may considerably improve the feeding valuo of tho mix ture. The objectlonal dustiness which characterizes tho ration in the dry state, is overcomo by diluting the molasses with six times its volume of water and moisting each of tho three dally feeds with a quart of tho diluted molasses. This is tho way in which tho pound of molasses is incorporated with the feed, and greatly to the ad vantage of tho two. A total of two or even three pounds of molasses might bo substituted for an equal amount of tho grain where the molasses is readily available Re cently wo have been feeding honey at $30.00 a ton as a substitute for the molasses with excellent results. The Jioney at lo per pound, is consider ably cheaper than barley at 2 cents, up to, say 2Va pounds in a dally ra tion. As tho barley (or corn), algaroba meal and grasses are rich in tho car bohydrates, it is important that tho ration be balanced with a highly nl trogenous (protein) feed, surh as al falfa meal, or as if often done by us tho addition of somo farm grown le gume, such as cow pea, pigeon pea, or velvet bean meal. After feeding al Paia Has Circus with Walker as Manager amous Collection of Side Show Freaks Find Paia Rubes Easy Money Ha makuapoko Notes. (Special Correspondence.) HAMAKUAPOKO, April 15. Petey Barnum's museum of f leaks was ex hibited at tho Community House, Paia, Friday, April 9, 1915. Mr. E. J. Walker acted as tho local represent ative of Mr. Barnum and gave an In teresting account of each fieak and according to him they were all "af fable and kind". Tho freaks Included the sword swal- lower, whose throat was too sore to permit of an exhibition, the. Chinese Giant who accldently lost his wooden leir. thn Wild Man of Borneo and others too numerous to mention. Each freak had photos for sale which in somo cases resembled tho original. The show was for the benefit of the Maui Cadets, an organization in pro cess of formation, and about $75.00 was realized. Last Sunday there was a meeting of the community at tho Community House to discuss the definite organiza tion of tho Cadets but final action was postponed for two weeks as it was do sider to have tho opinion of all inter ested. Mr. E. J. Walker is to be drill master, assisted by Mr. F. B. Came ron. All parents and others interested may obtain full Information from cither of tho above. Colonel Blanche Cox of tho Salva tion Army occupied the pulpit of the Makawao Union Church last Sunday. Miss Kathleen Kerr and Miss Es- telle Roo returned on Saturday night from Honolulu, where the spent the Easter vacation. Tho County has graded the short stretch of road from tho Hamakua poko Station to the Maul High School building, preparatory to putting in a macadam road. Tho stftne is arriving and the work will probably be com pleted within a few days. This is a greatly needed Improvement for in rainy weather tho mud through which the children havo to wade to school is almost knee deep. Tho M. A. Co. has made a wonder ful improvement on the appearance of Hamakuapoko corner by tcarlnir down the former unsightly building and building a neat little office at a sufficient distance back from the road so as to allow for a good sized grass plot. Hedges havo also been started there which in time will further beau tify the place. E. B. Blanchard, of Haiku, a former teacher of the McKinley High school of Honolulu, is substituting, in tho Maui High school for Mrs. W. S. Bee- man, who accldently cut her wrist last week. Maui News Ads Pay. Some people think advertise ments aren't read. C. M. Symonds, of San Fran cisco, lost a small note book a few days ago. A 4-llne ad In tho Maul News Daily Wireless brought the book to our office two days later. It had been picked up by Police omcor Thomas Holstcln. This week also a brooch pin was advertised. Within six nours after the sheet was on the street no less than 11 persons who havo lost pins recently call ed in person or by phone, and they are still coming. Wo have n't found the right owner yet, but wo have demonstrated two things. First, that Maui News ads are read; and second, that a surprising number of Maul ladies have lost breast-pins late ly. A word to tho wise is Suffi cient. WOUNDED WHILE AIDING A COM RADE. Later word received by F. W. Pea cock relative to the wounding of his brother, who is with the British trops in France, Is that ho was shot in tho shoulder whllo attempting to car ry a wounded comrade to safety.

Molr annihilat ed instantly, are somo of tho horriblo things that, fortunately, did not hap pen on Friday last, when somo das tnrdly individual sent three sticks of giant powder, capped and fused, down the cine llumo to the mill. Only the vigilance of tho man who Is stationed at. tlio cano carrier prevented the bag containing tho deadly explosive from being run through tho rollers. What would havo happened had the three sltcks of giant powder reached the rollers would have, more or less, resembled one of tho dally incidents of the European war when a shell hits a church or factory . Manager Molr was standing close besido the crushing rollers when tho bag of explosive was snatched out nnd thrown back upon the ground. As the powder was fitted with caps It is only by good luck that this rough handling did not explode it. Deputy Sheriff Henry Martin, wno is working on the case, has arrested a Portuguese man on suspicion of being mixed up In tho matter. This man, It Is claimed, has a fancied grudge against the plantation.
