The cultivation of mother earth in japan
is now much the same as it was before the
opening of the country TO foreigners. In
this they have adopted but few of our
ideas, and, with all the implements taken |
there by us, they still adhere to their rude |
and simple implements and manner oftill- |
ing the ground. as they have for centuries,
Their plouuhs are of bamboo. much the

Middle States have been noted for.
The land throughout the empire is rather
uneven and billy; the whole island is of
volcanic formation. From the beach there
gradually rise hills; then there are valleys,
or rather immense gorges. These are all
cultivated, and have been terraced, so that
at the top they raise wheat, rye, barley and
puckwheat' ana at the bottom they have
the rice helds. These are all divided up
INTO small patches, which, when full OF
