HOW HAWAII FARM
ER USES VOLCANO
Story of Most Novel Swine
Ranch In World find How
An American is Making Easy
Money.
Feeding hogs on Giant ferns which
have been previously cooked by the
heat from a volcano, , is a novelty in
the agricultural field which it is safe
to say can be seen in but one place in
place is in
the whole world. That
1
Hawaii; and one man at least is niak-
ing a profitable business out of his
foresight and enterprise.
Peter Lee, an American, has a ranch
right on the edge of the great crater
of Kilauea, on the island of Hawaii,
some 200 miles from Honolulu. All
about the tremendous cauldron of na
ture spreads dense forests for many
miles down the easy slope of the
mountain’s sides. Very much of this
tangle of vegetation is made up of
great tree ferns, many of which tow
er fifty feet or more in the air, like
great feather dusters. The great
trunk or stem of this fern, frequently
a foot or more In diameter, is compos
ed of a pulpy, fibrous mass enclosed in
a hairy harder covering. Peter Lee
discovered that this pulp contains a
large amount of starches and sugars,
and that by steaming or cooking, these
are rendered soft, and are greedily
eaten by the hogs.
It was some time before the pre
sent method of cooking the ferns sug
gested itself, but when it did the
problem of economy was solved. In
many places about the volcano, some
times several miles from the active
central pit, cracks have formed in
the hardened lava surface which cov
ers the whole mountain, doubtless
through the contraction of the mate
rial in cooling, and from these fis
sures heat and steam in various de
grees of intensity perpetually escape.
To construct a gridiron over one of
these heat cracks, and to pile upon it
the fern trunks, cut into cord-wood
lengths, was the acme of simplicity,
but for effectiveness could scarcely be
improved upon. In the course of a
few days, dependent on the amount
of heat of any particular crack, the
steam has thorou-hly softened and
cooked the ferns, and all that remains
to do is to split each stem with an ax,
when the swine will devour them
voraciously.
Dr. E. V. Wilcox, director of the
Hawaii Experiment Station, believes
that Hawaii’s ferns may come to be
of considerable economic importance
as a stock food. Fern roots have had
some value in this line in some parts
of the Northwest, where the growth
is comparatively scanty, and if the
food value of Hawaiian ferns prove
as high, large tracts of forest land are
likely to sequre n new value.

AN EMPEROR
AT THE PLOW
The Chinese begin plowing on the
first day of their solar year, the cere
mony being very elaborate. The fields
are blessed in a long religious cere
mony, and the emperor or his regent
has to set the example of industry by
plowing the first round in the sacred
field. A richly caparisoned bullock,
draped in yellow, is hitched to a plow.
When he finishes his round, each of
the royal princes takes a hand, and the
ceremony is over.

Listen for a moment please
To what I have to say,
Then lay aside your paper
And each one go your way.
’Tis this I want to tell you
As we nestle by the hill.
Don’t talk of other towns
Rut speak of Jacksonville.
Let everybody boost
And help her all y. u cun;
Don’t sit around so stupid
Brace up and be a man.
Lift up your weary heads
Look the world square in the face,
And when you meet a stranger
Tell him “Jacksonville’s
