Proofs of the. Superior Quality

rhe American Watch Company, of
Watham, Mass respectfully submit that
their Watches are cheaper. more accurate,
lesscompleX, ,more durable, better adap-
ted tor general use, and mere easily kept
in order and repaired than any other
watches in the market. Ghey are simpler
in structure, and tber efore stronger and
less Likely to be injured than the majority
of foreign watches, whcn are composed
of from l25 ~ 80 pieces, while in an old
English wAch there are more than 700
parts. How they run under the hardest
trial watches cali have, is shown by tho
following letter:

IN saying your watches give us less troub-
le, and have worn and DO wear much lon
ger without repairs than any watches We
have EVER had in use on this road. Asyou
are aware we formerly trusted to those of

good reputation; but class they never

Farm Life I'm Japan.

, HWs learn, from a letter dat
ed at Kangawa, Japan, that the
crops have been most abund-
ant, consisting of rice, rape,
wheat, barley, cotton, tarro, go
DO, etc. Buckwheat and the
sweet potato, also, have been
raised in large quantities, prin-
cipally for the poorer classes.
MaccarOni made of Buckwheat
is a common article of manu-
facture. When this port was
As6pened in 1859, rice was sold
Z at less than one cent per catty
"a catty is II lbs. and the peo-
pie talked Of a rice famine a
few years ago when rice was
sold at double this price as an
extraordinary and calamitous
event. In October and the
early part Of November the
last of the upland crops are
. gathered, the most important
of which is cotton. The best
of Japanese cotton is a fair
staple, nearly equal to the best
India. The plant attains a
height of fifteen TO eighteen
inches, and the product Of an
acre, under favorable circum-
stances, is $50 to 300 pounds.
In every farm yard, al this sea.
SON, the gathered bolls are
spread out to dry and for many
a winter day thereafter, the
ginning of it occupies the fe-
male part OF the household, as
we'll as in the long evenings by
rush or candle light as by that
of the day. No invention of a
Whitney assists tins labor, but
the uncleahed staple is passed
between rollers Of hard wood
grinding with smooth faces
against each other, and so tear
ing out the seed. The cost
when Japan was opened to for
eign trade was about five cents
per pound, and the industrious
girl could weave in a single
day enough cloth to make the
coarse garment which the COM
mon laborer, male and female,
wears.
AS with the silk crop, so with
the tea crop; here, too, a large
share of the labor falls on the
weaker portion Of the house
hold. The tea plant, like the
mulberry, is cultivated in part
as an edging to the fields, but
more usually it is grown in
thlck.set rows or in detached
bushes, the intervals being cul.
tivated with general crops
The various stages of the tea
plants give profitable labor to
a large population, a labor in
which, as IN the silk crop, all
ages can assist.
