CHINESE FARAtING,-Pro in no
part of the world is agriculture carried
to a higher state of perfection than in
China. The density of the population
of that empire has caused much atten-
ton to be paid to the art, and the cult
valion Of much of the country approach
.es as near as possible to garden farming.
A writer in blackwoods magazine says
that ''the bill and mountain sides are
terraeed, the rocky fragments are gath
cred off the slopes and formed into re-
taining walls, and the wonders of Chi
nese irrigation have never been equal
ed.n The agriculture knowledge of
China cannot indeed vie with ours in
point Of science, but is far more widely
difTusod. A uniform system of cultiva-
ton, the result Of centuries experience,
known to all, and in the matter of ma
king the most Of their land they are un-
surpassed by any people in the world
Agriculture, hitherto, has been the ma
tional pursuit Of the Chinese, and until
within few years past all the rapidly
augmenting population has gone to in
crease the wealth and resources of the
State. 1.-THE farmer there rears his crop
.ofrIce, cotton or tea, dresses it, and
turns it to his own use as food or cloth

laying by money, it is only in periods of
famine or inundat;on that he experien-
ces the pressure of want" The fare Of
the Chinese farmer consists chiefly of
rice, fish, and vegetables, and sumptu-
Gus meal may always be procured for
'cash'-about twelve hundred of which
are equivalent to dollar.
