AGRICULTURAL NOTES. 



HERD OF BULLS. 



The finest herd of blooded cattle that has ever been imported 

 to Hawaii was brought by a recent Hilonian. The herd con- 

 sists of thirty-three bulls consigned to the Parker Ranch, the 

 American Sugar Company Ranch and to John Hind. The ani- 

 mals were selected by Mr. Fred. L. Carter and consist of pure- 

 bred Herefords, Shorthorns and Devons. 



POULTRY SHOW. 



The Farmers' Institute of Haw^aii will again unite with the 

 Hawaiian Poultry Breeders' Association in making a general 

 agricultural exhibition in connection with the December Poultry 

 Show. It is hoped that Forester readers will assist in the suc- 

 cess of this enterprise by contributing exhibits of fruits, flowers, 

 vegetables, poultry and other produce.

The great value of the algaroba is illustrated by the condition 

 of a tract of land between Kihei and Maalaea Bay. Maui, which 

 some years ago was so sterile as to be valueless. Application 

 has now been made for its opening to settlement by a number 

 of native Hawaiians, who wish to devote it to agricultural 

 purposes. The improvement in the land is solely due to a growth 

 of algaroba with which it has become covered. 



WEED KILLER. 



Application for patenting an invention which should prove of 

 great value to sugar planters has lately been made by Mr. T. J.
