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. Air Sam owns a water buffalo, two pigs, thirty chickens and ducks, a pair of geese, a dog and eat.

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 luring the hour l was endeavoring to 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 Hit. 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.

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.-— (New York Tribune. The Use of Perfume In Battle. Perfume seems destined, observes the New York Tribune, to play an im¬ portant part in the wars of the future. 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; and a Viennese scientist lias accord¬ ingly invented a bomb, whibh, more pungent than the celebrated stink-pots of the ancient Greeks, deprives of consciousness for the space of several hours every person who is unfortun¬ ate enough to be within 500 yards of the spot whero it explodes.
