FARMS IN CHINA.
Diminutive Partitions of Land
in a Crowded Empire.
Unremitting Toil and Grinding
Economy the Farmer’s Lot.
The necessity of a dense population,
in its strugglo for survival during
thousands of years, lias produced in
China a system of minute partition ol
arablo sod which lias readied the ulti¬
mate limit of possible subdivision.
In theory all lands pertain to the
crown, to Which is paid an annual ren¬
tal amounting to about $1.50 per aero.
By what means the original holders ol
tho soil came into possession is not
well known; but, as a matter of tact,
properly is subdivided, sold, leased,
and devised in much the same way as
in o’.her countries, (and without the
intervention of the real estate dealer.)
As a rule, lands are well distributed
amongst the ngryeubural population,
and large holdings or estates arc the
exception. As small tracts as one-half
or one-tenth of an acre arc common;
while a family in possession of five or
ten acres is looked upon as wealthy.
Agricultural lands vary iu value, ac¬
cording to situation or proximity to
markets, Troin $6 to $100 or oven $600
per acre. Held in such small division,
it is not difficult to imagine that tho
utmost labor and economy must be
exercised to enable the farmer to ob¬
tain the greatest possible returns from
tho soil.
Every sort of fertilizer is returned
to tho groiind; ashes, fish-bones, the
scrapings of imrlrew, garbage; in
short every conceivable particle ol
waste material which may serve the
purpose, is carefully preserved. Dur¬
ing the season, when the ground is
being prepared for planting, the odor
^ascending from the fluids recking with
these fertilizers is unsiipportablo to
foreigners; but (lie Chinese, with that
perversion of tas'.c and sense which
characterizes them, appear to take a
certain satisfaction if not positive
pleasure in the mal-odors which they,
perhaps; consider an assurance of the
frui ifulness- to come.
Food amongst the agricultural
classes costs about ono dollar per
month per adult. Clothing to the
value of Hyc dollars per annum is
ample for actual neads It is com¬
puted that one-sixth of an acre is
ample to support each individual of a
family. Vegetables planted between
crops help to eke out thc«i»iod supply.
Straw and chaff' furnish fuel. The
wife §pins and weaves tho coarse fab¬
rics for the nccesshry clothing. The
grandparents, or feebler members ol
the household care for tho children.
The children tend the pigs nnd fowls.
The dog treads tho wheel of tho prim¬
itive cotton-gin, or that of tho spin¬
ning-wheel.
Necessary labor is tho tenor of the
family life. Houses are sparsely fur¬
nished, as few movables are required.
Several rude stools of wood or bam¬
boo; a table; bamboo benches f«i
beds; rough porcelain bowls and sau¬
cers; short spoons of the same mate¬
rial, and wooden chop sticks (the
native knife and fork) comprise the
ordinary furnishings. The cooking is
done oVer a small stone or brick fur¬
nace, in iron pans. As an illustration
of ihe 'condition of a small i>ensant
family the following mayjje cited:
Batn Fling, living near the port of
Bwato, is the head of a family of ten
per6ous.—namely, himself, his son,
four daughters, son’s wife, and two
grandchildren. Tho farm consists of
two acres of good, rich land worth
$1,000. The father and son till tho
fields, occasionally assisted by the
women. On rainy days the men find
work' in-doors, In braiding mats of
rushes. The women weave cloth or
make clothing. The house and sheds
are valued *t*$|o0; the furniture at
$45'; the clothing of the household
at $40.

Cuhl Years iu England.
A*qriq|uondeut writes: “Are wc

In 1842 a Mr. Luke Howard started a
theory that our English seasons pre-
sent themselves in cycles of eighteen
years, during tho first half of which-
beginning witlf 1824—heat predomi-
nates, and iu the second, cold. Wqrk-
ing this out, I find that the facts do
seem to square with Mr. Howard’s

MANUK AND ITCH IN TIORSES.
There Is no doubt that mange is
most prevalent in animals that are in
a poor condition of health. Tl^p up-
healthy secretions of the skin seem to
provide the desirablo food for the in-
secls. Consequently some internal
remedies are required a6 well ns the
outward applications. The lard and
sulphur ointment, may bo used on the
skin, and some compound of sulphur
alone should be given internally—two
teaspoonfuls of sulphur may be given,
mixed with molasses and spread on
the tongue or the teeth, or one ounce
of hyposulphite of soda may bo given
in a bran inasli daily for ten days un¬
til tho system is saturated. A large
part of it will escape through the skin
and thus reach and drive off' the para¬
sites.— [New York Times.
abolish round-hIsaded bolts.
Grateful thanks of the farming
world await the manufacturers of
agricultural implements who first
adopt the inflexible rule of using only
close-titling, square-shouldered or
square-headed bolts, declares a farmer
iu tlie New York Tribune. To illus¬
trate: Having occasion today to reg¬
ulate (lie deptli I wished iny new
plough to rnn, I found, in attcinping
to change the wheel for the purpose,
that the bolt which held it in position
could not, be loosened—it turned with
the nut that secured it.
Had the square shoulder of tho bolt
fitted firmly in the slot iu the standard
of tho wheel, or with a square-beaded
bolt and the use of (wo wrenches, all
trouble would have been avoided, and
:ny three-horse team and ploughman
would have performed valuable work

lo what could and should have been
lone in a minute's time, bad the man¬
ufacturing company performed their
part well before the plough was sent

FRAGRANT BI TTER.
The odor and flavor of butter are
due to fatty matters which contain es¬
sential oils, says a Pennsylvania dairy¬
man, and the-io fatty matters aro ab¬
sorbed by the blood unchanged by di¬
gestion, for the fats of the food are
not digested but emulsified by tho pan¬
creatic fluid and go directly into the
blood. Thus I have detected the odor
of the sweet blossoms of white meliot
(Bokhara clover), or of mint, espe¬
cially the very sweet inonarda didyma
(Oswego tea), as well as of turnips,
rabhugc, aud (lie fotid odor of dog-
fennel, which I have fed to cows
especially for experiment.
No doubt there is a field for enter¬
prise in tliis way in giving butter a
special agreeable flavor, just as some
7f the Swiss cheese is flavored oy the
fragrant blue • meliot. But there is
certainly room for precaution against
spoiling butter by feeding turnips, or
the tops of them, or garlic and other
offensive food, and when it is known
Unit Ihe oils which are the cause of
these odors arc taken directly into tho
blood und go thence into tho butter
fats, especial care will be taken to
avoid the injury.—[New York Tri¬
bune.
WEEDS OF TIIE FARM.
The introduction of weeds in our
fields is more often charged to foul
seed from abroad than any other cause
and dealers and raisers of the seed aro
blamed. Quite as often, I think that
their spread may be charged to the
farmer’s own negligence in permitting
them to flower and ripen their seeds.
Weedy fence-rows and neglected
patches where weeds arc allowed lo
grow and mature their seeds will fur¬
nish an atnplo supply for the whole
farm, even if they have been well kept
down in tho cultivated portions. Noth¬
ing looks more unthrifty about a farm
than to see weeds growing unchecked
along tho fences, propagating their
kind from year to year for the want
of timely care in cutting them down
and keeping them in subjection.
A rank growth of weeds is a pretty
good sign of a strong productive soil,
but its strength should be turned to a
more profitable account than raising ”
them. ... \Vo cannot , hope , to get , ml , , of
‘
weeds . cntirelv, but we can greatly B J
, lessen their , . numbers , by preventing
1
their going to seed. (Most varieties of
the worst long-lived weeds can be de¬
stroyed by close pasturage and a fre¬
quent use of the scythe ou such as the
animals do not kill by constantly eating
off their leaves.— [New York World.
STRAWBERRY CUETI RE.
The strawberry may be successfully
grown in any soil adapted to tho
growth of ordinary field or garden
crops. Tho ground should be well
prepared by trenching or plowing, at
least eighteen or twenty inches deep,
and be properly enriched as for any
garden crop. It is unnecessary to say
that, if the land is wet, it must be
thoroughly drained. For family use,
it is recommended that planting bo
done In beds four feet wide, with an
alley two feet between. These beds
Mill accommodate three rows of
plants, which may stand fifteen inches
apart each way, and the outside rows
uine inches from the alley.
The beds can be kept clean and the
fruit gathered from them without set-
ting the feet upon them. Culture in j
hills is the best mode that can be 1
adopted for the garden. To obtam :
fine, largo, liigh-llavorcd fruit, pinch
off tho runners as fast as they appear,
repeating tho operation as often as may
be necessary daring tho summer and
early autumn. Every runner thus re¬
moved produces a new crown in the
centre of the plant, and in the fall the
plants will have formed large bushes
or stools, on which tho finest strawber¬
ries may bo expected tho 'following
season.
In the meantime the ground among
the plants should bo kept clear
weeds, and frequently stirred with a
hoe or fork, Where tho winters aro
severe, with little snow for protection,
a slight covering of leaves or litter,
or the brandies of evergreens, will l»o
of great service. This covering should
not be placed over the plants unt'l
after the ground is frozen, Fatal cr-
rors are often made by putting oil too
much and too early, Care must also
be taken to removo tho covering in tho
spring, just ns soon as the plants begin
to grow.
lleforo the fruit begins (o ripen,
mulch the ground among tho plants
with short hay or straw, or grass
mowings from tho lawn, or anything
of that sort. This will not wholly
keep the fruit clean, but will prevent
the ground from drying or baking,
and thus lengthen Hie fruiting season.
Tan hark can also be used as a mulch.
A bed managed in this way will give
two full crops, and should then bo
spaded or plowed down, a new ono in
(lie meantime having been prepared to
taka its place.— [Courier-Journal.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
A good rest at midday for men and
teams.
The industrious farmer is sure of a
living.
Lilian auratumis a most satisfactory
pot plant. %
Plant Thuinbergia seed tho hollow
side down.
No garden should be without a bed
of narcissus.
Impatiens Sultani cuttings root as
freely as coleus.
New varieties of dahlias must be
raised from seed.
Millet should be cut as soon as the
seed is in the milk.
The best ivay to start flower seeds
is in shallow boxes.
Tho evening is tho best time for
watering out-door plants.
Keep the noses of your sheep tarred
to drive away the gad-fly.
Pinch back the coleus and achyran,
thus to make them spread.
Clover and sheep arc sources of
valuable fertilizing material.
l)o not allow your stock to sailor
from thirst this hot weather.
It is best to arrange for keeping
such a number of stock as the supply
of feed secured will keep in a good,
thrifty condition.
After new corn comes in is a good
time to commence feeding the fatten¬
ing hogs. Feed lightly at first and
then gradually increase.
See that tho stables aro well pro¬
vided with light. They are usually
kept closed during (hi winter and aro
often uncomfortably dark.
Commence at least two weeks be¬
fore the colts aro weaned and feed
them a light feed of oats twice a day.
A little bran added will be better.
Alkali for Rabies.
In tho account prepared by Dr.
Bright of Kentucky of his treatment
of various ca=es of hydrophobia lie
expresses the opinion (hat if the blood
of the person bitten is kept in an
alkaline condition for several weeks
the virus of rabies is bv (bis means de¬
stroyed or rendered inert. It lias long
been known that the ammonium alkali
is an antidote to the virus of poisonous
reptiles if injected into (he circulation
immediately after the infliction of tho
bite. It is remarked, however, that
in the cases of children it would bo
more convenient to administer tho
chloride or aeelato of ammonia, owing
to the pungency of the carbonate,
some care being also requi”cd in keep¬
ing the latter without a loss of any of
its virtues, on account of its great
volatility. It is thought that after tho
first day or two it would not be neces-
sary to exhibit tho remedy at shorter
intervals than, say, every six hours
for three or four weeks; this would,
it is believed, sufllcieutly alkalize tho
blood to neutralize or destroy the rabio
poison.

Raising Snakes for the Bounty.
For years many natives have made
a snug living out of the hunting and
killing of cobras and other reptiles foi
which head-money was offered. It
was a perilous occupation, and many
men lost their lives at it. But now
an easier and simpler plan has been
adopted, which is also more profitable.
This is nothing less than cobra-farm¬
ing. The cunning Hindoos caught a
number of the si .ikes alive and im¬
prisoned them in a carof ally construct¬
ed pen, from which escape was impos¬
sible, but in which the cobras would
feel entirely at homo.
There the snakes increased and mul¬
tiplied at an amazing rate. From
time to time tho snake-fanners would
thin out their stock and get the boun¬
ties on a few dozen beads. The busi¬
ness was conducted just as systemati¬
cally as poultry-raising. About two
hundred cobras were kept as breeders,
and the yield of marketable snake-
heads was large. But the Govern¬
ment officials became suspicious be¬
cause of the business-like way in which
(he heads were brought in, and their
investigations soon exposed the whole
scheme and broke up the enterprise.-—

The Use of Perfume In Battle.
Perfume seems destined, observes

In the sham light which took place in
the presence of the Emperor William
the other day near Portsmouth, the
advance of the attacking force was
concealed by means of the newly-in-
vented smoke balls. Their success,
however, must be regarded as open to
discussion. For the aroma of their
fumes was so powerful that the nd-
vaucilig soldiers were compelled to
keep one hand tightly clasped to their
nose in order to avoid the danger of
suffocation. This naturally impaired
the efficacy of their rifle aud bayonet
practice. Since then it appears to
have dawned upon the military au¬
thorities of the Old World that it
might be preferable to asphyxiate the
enemy, rather than their own troops;
