In practice, wc think this rotation is too short, and would be greatly improved by a root crop after corn, and oats or barley after the roots, with clover following, and the second year’s clover plowed in for wheat, with which grass is sown, with clover added in the spring.

Several varieties of Chinese vegetables and fish made their appearance and were sampled with great interest! Something with an unpronounce able name, but which was really fish-tripe, was voted a great delicacy, and lob?t«*r, prepared in a pe culiar way, was also a gastronomic suc cess. The soup contained a great variety of strange vegetable?, among them a dark-green sea moss. Instead of our salt there was provided small dishes of liquid prepared from beans, and which answered the purpose. Then small pud dings of white rice flower cunningly de signed to represent an opening flower were found to contain a sweet interior of beans aad molasses, or some sweet sub stance. Bowls of rice were brought in, but it was eaten hot and dry Without milk or sugar, which accompaniments are thought by the Celestials to spoil both rice and tea. The rice was seasoned and spiced rather too highly for Ameri can palates, .and Wong mercifully or dered in qome condensed milk and sugar. After the repast was finished cigars were produced, the hoard was cleared, and clear tea brought in. A very interesting discussion on the Chinese problem in America was begun, and several inteRe gent and thoughtful arguments advanced by the Itost and his friends. This is the only Chinese restaurant of the kind in thc city, and on Sundays a great deal of money is taken in here'. The expensive Chinese vegetables, however, reduce the profits, so Mr. Ban says.—C^' ifewt 4m
