V
WAR between Russia and
Japan must bring some
thing likt a pang of regtet
to the hearts of those who
a* have known and lived in
& the happy land of the
inoonflower. No one who loves sim
plicity and the sweetness of nature
unspoiled, can contemplate without a
sympathetic shudder even the possi
bility of the conquering Muscovite
trampling his uncouth way across the
smiling rice fields, and under the an
cient Jorii before the temples of a
thousand gods. Japan is the last land
of the beautiful left to an over-civil
ized world. It is also the youngest
child of conquest, for scarcely 50
years nave passed since its gates were
first thrown open to the nations of the
west.
Nippon, "country of peaceful
shores," in the native speech, Is
rapidly admitting European customs,
ideas of dress, and manners of liv
ing, to the destruction of much that
was picturesque and that had no coun
terpart in other lands.
But away, tucked close among its
hills and valleys, in the very kernel of
Old Japan, there still remain to-day
quiet little nooks, bowered in cherry
blossom and wisteria; happy little
cities of sweetness and light; quaint
little nests of gray-stone temples,
lichen-covered shrines, and Buddhas
by the-wayside. And here the mis

sionaries have not been, the fatal foot
of the trader has not yet trod, and
even the face of the white man has
rarely b3en seen, sometimes not at all.
Here is real Japan, in all its truth
and purity, and here the real Japanese,
the most simple-hearted creature
breathing, whom we of the western
world know nothing of, lives his sim
ple life and dies his simple death.
For that is the keynote of Japanese
character—simplicity. And it brings
a goddess in its train—beauty, the
handmaiden of nature.
Many are the curious customs, cu
rious to us, which are matters of com
mon habit in Japan. Up to late years
the facial charm of femininity has
been rigidly restricted to the young
and unmarried, for after the wed
ding ceremony the bride, as a mark
of honor to her husband, must blacken
her teeth and shave her eyebrows.
But even this, an immemorial ob
servance, is yielding to the advance
of knowledge and the reports of the
traveled and more enlightened, and
will presently die out.
The visitor, especially one who has
sojourned in India, China, and other
eastern places, is at once struck by the
extreme cleanliness of Japanese cities,
by the entire absence of beggars in the
streets, and of those degraded crea
tures who swarm in the great capi
tals. The street cries are all melo
dious, and the avoidance of noise is
everywhere the first consideration.

at night beats two pieces of wood to

A JAPANESE STREET ON A HOLI
DAY.
The Japanese deities are as kindly
and gentle-hearted as the people
themselves. Their story of the crea
tion is quaint, and wholly without the
elements of slaughter and dissension
which are the groundwork in other
mythologic accounts of the same
event. Two gods (whose very lengthy
names may be shortened to Izanagi
and Izanami), standing upon the
bridge of Heaven, cast grains of rice
abroad to dispel the darkness. They
then pushed a spear down into the
green plain of the sea, and stirred it
round. This spear became the axis
of the earth, started it revolving, and
by a natural process of consolidation
brought about the dry land . .
and nothing could very well be sim
pler or more logical than that!
Anyone who has stayed in Yokohama
in the middle of October has perforce
taken part in the festival of O Son
san. The streets are hung with lan
terns, drums are beating everywhere,
paper flowers are showered down
from the balconies, and a laughing,
good-natured crowd thronging the
town from end to end will allow no one
to hide himself away at a time of gen
eral rejoicing. And yet very few peo
ple know what it is all about, and that

work went on but slowly and with dis
aster. The quicksands swallowed up
the earth and stones as fast as they
were thrown in, and, worse still, it
swallowed the workmen as well. Then
it was that a humble young girl, 0
Sonsan (maid-servant), came forward
and offered to be buried alive in the
swamp to placate the evil spirits of
the quicksand. The sacrifice wa$ ac
cepted, and from that moment the
work succeeded and no more lives
were lost. And that is why to-day, on
every fifteenth of October, the Jap
anese in Yokohama dance on the site
of 0 Sonsan's grave.
Japan has never been priest-ridden,
hence the almost marvelous ease with
which it has been able to adapt itself
to the changing necessities of the
times. There Is no fanaticism in
Japan. Its priests are teachers, most
peripatetic: they expound the prin
ciples of Shinto, or the sacred book
Shaka, but they are not custo
dians of (he Japanese conscience and
masters of his actions, as the Guru Is
the Hindoo. There are thousands
Shinto shrines and temples scat
Ored all over the country, by the side
almost every road. But they sym
bolize no tenet of fanatical sacrifice or
loss of mental liberty. The religion,
like everything Japanese, is one of

THE COTTON BOLL WEEVIL.
Fertilization the Beat Preventive
Yet l)l«e<>vered For the Cotton
Field Pest.
So far nothing has been discovered
that will destroy the boll weevil; but
much can be done to prevent its rav

i ton field in the fall; burning dead
stalks and trash; deep plowing in the
fall, and wide planting, all have a ten
, ._. . .. „ . ._. . „
I aency to hold the pest in check. But
„ .. „ *
' more than all other preventatives so
far suggested, an early variety of cot
ton, which matures before the boll
weevils can get in their work, seems
to be the most effective.
Up to the present time comparative
ly little fertilizer has been used on
the cotton crop in Texas. Most of the
land is naturally strong; it has been
yielding satisfactory crops, and the
application of commercial fertilizer
has not seemed necessary. The farm
er who has never used any commercial
fertilizer on his cotton has no idea
of the wonderful effect it has in pro
moting early maturity, even a natural
ly-late variety. The fanners in many
sections of north Georgia would be
unable to grow the crop at all without
the aid ox these fertilizers, as their
seasons would be too short, in fact,
the introduction of commercial fer
tilizer has enlarged the area where
cotton can be profitably grown, as it
enables it to make in a shorter sea
son.
The early or late maturiay of cot
ton is regulated as much, if not more,
by the character of the land upon
whicu it is grown, as by the variety
planted. This fact was very strongly
brought out the past season. Where
the land was very rich and the cotton
made a heavy growth of weed, it con
tinued to grow late, and the bolls were
very slow in opening, while where the
land was thin the cotton matured
much more rapidly. The reason for
this is that the rich land contained too
much ammonia in proportion to the
otner elements of plant food. Am
monia produces stalk and leaf, while
phosphoric acid produces fruit and
hastens early maturity, and potash
gives strength to the plant and in
creases the amount of iint. Bear
these facts in mind when preparing a
fertilizer for rich land, and use very
little ammonia, or cut it out altogeth
er. It is well, however, to use a little
ammonia to give the plants a quick
start; and if I was planting rich land
in cotton 1 would use a fertilizer an
alyzing 10 per cent, phosphoric acid,
2 per cent, ammounia, and 4 per cent,
potash. Such a fertilizer would bal
ance' the plant food already in the
soil, and force the plant to produce
fruit, instead of running to weed.
If you can not purchase a fertilizer
similar to the above from your dealer,
you can prepare it yourself by com
bining 40 pounds nitrate of soda, 400
pounds cotton seed meai, 1,400 pounds
14 per cent, acid phosphate and ICO
pounds muriate potash to make a ton.
Place these materials together on a
tight flpor, and shovel over until the
whole mass is of an even color
throughout; being careful to crush all
lumps as they roll down around the
edges of the pile. Use about 400 pounds
to the . acre. To make early cotton,
and lots of it, the fertilizer must con
tain a large percentage of phosphoric
acid and potash, for these are the two
elements that produce fruit and lint,
and bring the plant to early maturity.
The 2 per cent, of ammonio is to give
the plants a quick start, that is all, for
the soil in all probaility contains
enough ammonia to carry the crop and
give the necessary growth of leaf. In
deed, in some instances it may contain
too much,in which case a large amount
of phosphoric acid and potash is need
ed to neutralize its effect and make
the plant go to fruit instead of stalk.—
F. J. Merriam, in Texas Farm and
Ranch.
SHEEP ON THE FARM
The Breeder Should Select tlie Type
of ilia Choice and Tin
Stick to It.
In starting out to raise sheep, a
breeder should have clearly in mind
what breed and type he wishes to
raise, then stick to it, come what may.
Cross breedng and changing from one
breed to another gives no definite re
sults. With purebred sheep, type
may sometimes change a little.
Now suppose we have a good bunch
of ewes of the breed we want; we will
mate them to a ram with a masculine
eye and head, with a short, thick neck,
wide and deep chest, back and loins,
wide and straight, and well covered
with lean meat, rump wide and long,
twist plumb, and fleece of good quality
and dense. Too much pains can not
be given In selecting a ram, as on him
depends by far the greater part of the
improvement of the flock.
A common flock of ewes can In a
short time be graded up to first-class
sheep by always using the very best
of sires and selecting and culling with
judgment.
We breed our ewes so that they
start lambing about March 1. We di
vide the ewes into flocks of 50 to 75
oach, and then turn in one ram to eaclt
flock. If the flocks are anywhere near
home we take the ram out after he has
been with them for an hour or two, as
we find that the ram will hold his
flesh better and the ewes get with
lamb sooner than if the rant is allowed
to run with them continually. The
ewes should he tagged before turning
in the ram, if any are dirty, which is
also a help to the ram in getting the
ewes with lamb.
The ram should also be In good fleHh,
well fed and cared for at mating time.

RAISING DRAFT HORSES.
They Are the Beat Clai
For the Average Fai mer
to IlHlae.
• f Horae*
Interest In horse breeding lias in
creased in .the southwest until the
farmers are now considering the advis
ability of raising draft horses. These
are the horses for the average farmer
raise for market, since they do not
require the special preparation for
market in the way of training, etc.,
that light horses or coach horses do,
and are less damaged by blemishes,
which frequently app&ar, even on colts
that are carefully cared for. The draft
horse can be broke at the age of two
years and made self-supporting until
he is mature and ready for market.
FoHow a definite plan in breeding. Ev
ery farmer should attempt to produce
horses of some definite type, such as
the market demands, and this can only
be done by deciding on the breed or
type one cares to raise, and then reso
lutely sticking to it.
In speaking of the draft horse, Prof.
Kennedy, of the Iowa state college,
said:
The type of draft horse that the
market wants is a horse weighing 1,
GOO pounds or over in ordintry work
ing condition, a deep-bodied, broad,
close-coupled, massive horse, with
powerful loins and hindquarters He
should be deep and wide in the chest
to insure a rugged constitution. His
legs should be well set, with clean,
dense bone, sloping pasterns, and his
feet should be large,, round, wide at
the heels, and of fair depth, especially
at the heels, it is well to remember
tne old Scotch motto:
beet and legs, bone and feather,
Tops may come, but bottoms never."
For without good feet and legs the
best bodied draft horse in the world
would be practically useless. Good
action is also a prime requisite, for
with all other things equal the horse
that walks four miles per hour with
ease is of far more value than the one
that can not take this pace, and good
action is also invariably associated
with a good constitution.—Texas Farm
and Ranch.

Clenliness not only adds to the ap
pearance of the premises and makes
a good impression on the mind of your
visitors, but is the greatest preventive
of disease. If the yards and houses
are kept clean and pure, there will be
little trouble about disease; so before
the breeding season opens have the
houses and yards thoroughly renovoted
and disinfected. Remove ail the
ruu
dropping-boards and nest boxes, have
them thoroughly cleaned and white
washed, and after the house is put In
condition, dust all the birds thor
oughly with some good insect powder,
and be surt that they are free from
lice. If the legs should he scaly, grease
them with coal oil, lard and sulphur,
mixed, but do not do this after you
begin saving the eggs for hatching, for

they are liable to become greased and
destroy the fertility. Keep the roosts
clean and well oiled with coal oil or
