as the heavy grade leads in between hills
400 or 500 feet high, with every foot irrigat-
ed by the water of little stream, which,
carried from plat to plat, nowhere washes
the land, and yet is nowhere entirely stopped
in its course.
A hoe, eight inches wide by eighteen
long, attached at an angle of 45 degrees to a
short bamboo handle, and crude sort of a
sickle constitute Japanese farmers stock
of agricultural implements. The straw to
bind and the bamboo on the laborer's Shout
der to bear are the facilities for conveying
the products of the farms to the markets and
take the places of our wagons and railroads.
Stock raising being unknown, except as
an experiment by the government in one or
two places, and with no knowledge of artlt
cial fertilizers, they resort to cesspools and
vaults as the only means of preserving their
land in a producing condition. Hence a
Journey across these lands in the fertilizing
season is not suggestive of orange groves
or violets.
A farm laborer receives from $3.50 10
$3.50, III their money, per month and his
board. Ijahorers IN cities receive 20 cents
per day; carpenters, lnssons, and mechanics
generally from 40 to SO cents, but these, and
all house servants, board and in most cases
lodge themselves. And yet, though wages
are SO low, the cost of doing given amount
of work is more in Japan than in America,
for the reason that five Americans will do
more hard labor in one day than twenty
Japanese in two, as was recently demon
strated on some public works in Toxic.
The ordinary Japanese has no ambition.
no enterprise. His wants are few and easily
supplied, and from the cradle to the grave
nothing disturbs, sgitates or moves him
from the even tenor of his way.

AN OLD-TINIE PLOw.

In paper on the origin of the plow, DIR.
Taylor states that the first agricultural i'm
Plement seems to have been a pointed stick
four or five feet long, such as many savage
tribes still carry for the purpose of digging
roots, knocking down fruits and unearthing
animals. At later date the stick was bent
and used as hoe, the point hardened by
fire. In the southern part of Sweden large
tracts of land give evidence of early cnltiva-
tion, which is attributed to prehistoric
people called by the natives the hackers"
who are always associated with the giants
Of mythology, and whose rude hoe was
fir pole with q short projecting branch.
There came into use afterwards a larger in
strument of the same kind, which was not
used like the hoe, but dragged by men or
oxen. Instances of this arc to be found in
old Egyptian pictures and bas-reliefs, and it
was probably the primitive idea of the
plow, which is of prehistoric origin, evil
dences being found of its earlier use among
the Greeks, Egyptians and Chinese. 1t
had from the earliest times religious sane
ton. The next improvement was wooden
hook, shod with iron, and i'll the time of
Virgil a wheeled pillow was in use, which
differed but little from the best in Europe a
century ago.
