Under this enptiou the Philadelphia Times says the Hmitu is rutur nintr to its anto helium custom of raising its own corn and provisions, lu I860, with a population of 10,000,000, the corn product waB 838,090,000 bushels.

As a matter of fnct Southern farmers should, return at least 700,000,000 ifusuels of corn from their nores, thinks the Knoxvillu Tribune, and The Vut (i ini an fully agrees. With it.

J A t'.l n A Itf D II A W A I I. A correspondent of the Washington Star, who resides in Hawaii, iutimutes that Japan may be so sei up with the Buocess of her arms in (ho war with China that n policy may ho developed by that country in reference tu the Hawaiian Islands, which muy lead to the attempt to bring the islands under Japanese domination. The correspondent says that tho wonderful skill, orgttni/.atioii aud at? tainment in the higher arts of civiliza? tion which huve heeu so conspicuously demonstrated by the .lapnuese uation in their present war excites the highest admiration. He thinks, however, that while this evidence of their progress and eucceas in aduptiug modern civili? zation is most gratifying aud hopeful, and one must rejuice to see such a nation range itself on the sido of civil zatiou and enlightenmont, vet every victory of Japnu makes her a more terrible menace to little, unprotected Hawaii, Thb writer cites tbo fact that Japan is not only a powerful nud formidable I foroe in the Pacitic, hut that she is one I of the nearest to Hawaii. Coutiuuiug, I be says: "Twenty five thousand of her j people are already hero amuug us, a \ restless, determined, shifty, excitable class. They constitute in numbers one fourth of our population. Unless pre vented by othor powers it would bo a kimple matter for Japau tu take posses? sion of Hawaii. Our only security against suoh au event lies iu protection from either the United States or Great Britain. The latter power would gladly nssutno tbo task of protecting- aud owniug?this outpost of civilization, lying on tho direct ruad between her great colonies. She defers, however, to the stroogor claims of tuo United States." Kg Much of the above is true, but the correspondent need apprehend no dan? ger from Japan domiuatiou iu the - Hawaiian Islands, aB nothing of the kind will be permitted. Should such! : ba attempted Undo Sam will be heard j fron on the subject. ' A KKW ,\ > > i n?xi xi:.

An elaborate foreign report presents detailed statistics of tho comparative cost under European conditions of ma? nuring in systems of farming in which (1) n largo amount of stock, (2) a small amount of stock and (3> no stock is kept, tho comparative merits of com* moroial fertilizers, green manuring, night soil, sewago, etc., being discussed. Tho author conalades that green ma? nuring, supplemented by commercial fertilizers, is suited to almost all condi? tions. Under favorable soil conditions manuring with artificial fertilizers may ho exclusively practiced. Tho oconoiny of tho iiso of night soil, sewage, sweep? ings, factory waste, composts, etc., mid bought stable manure depends upon lo? cal conditions, and these materials should be used only when thev are cheaper than tho more generally appli? cable system of green manuring supple? mented by commercial fertilizers. Although it is believed that in some cases the circumstances may warrant tho red net ion or totul abandonment of stock raising and tho substitution of some of the abovo systems of manuring, it is not *afo to ponclude thut such in generally advisable, lu deciding this question there arc other important fac? tors besides cost of mauure to Lu ukvn into consideration.
