restoratives were applied, and all began soon

One of the colonies Of Japanese in Cal.
fornis is to be located near Placerville. Every
family will have cottage and garden for
full supply OF vegetables and for ornament.
Mulberry trees and tea plants will be allotted
in divisions to each family. Each family will
feed its own worms. spin its own cocoons, and
receive pay according to it's quality or guam
tity. The raw silk will then be put in market
for export or for home manufacture. Tea
will be made on the same principles. The
ahmilles cul ivate, pick the leaves, deliver at
the factory and receive payment. Thus the
factories can make unit,rm qualities for mar
ket. Vine making will follow . similar ju-
dioious divisioa OF labor. where 1t is pIacdca-
hle. There will be an extensive nursery for
Tho growth and sale Of japanese trees, such
