JAPANESE IMMIGRATION.

The ADVERTISER recently announced
that Mr.. VIM. q. Irwin, when in San
Francisco, telegraphed an order TO the
Hawaiian Consul General at Japan for
600 male Japanese laborers and one
hundred and fifty women. News re-
ceived by the Mariposa is to the effect
that party OF japanese immigrants, in
response to this order, are expected to
sail for Honolulu, by the City of Picking,
on the 18th January next. There will
be forty per cent of females among the
immigrants, the largest proportion OF
women yet received. This will be good
news for planters and others. Up to the
present time 1921 Japanese immigrants
have arrived Taken as a whole they
have given satisfaction, and this ex-
pected addition to their number, with
go many women accompanying their
husbands or coming to join those
already here, must be regarded as an
uncommonly good sign. The Govern
ment is to be congratulated upon the
success of its immigration policy.

"The pointed-toed boots, - said a down

peared forever; at least l hope it is for
ever. But the chances are that the fashion
will come up again in the next twenty

such things. The pointed toes of the six
tenth century were pretty because they
were symmetrically designed, but the
abortive specimens of the shoemaker's art
which Office boys and small clerks
are carrying about town. now

made very narrow at the toe, flat-heeled,

side. and rising in series of little bumps
forward of the instep? The square toed
shoe of the politician is really the most
sensible one in the market, though the
present shoe of fashion has two points
TO be condemned. They are making the
heel little smaller ard rounding the toes,
but never bringing them to point
Laced shoes are by large odds the favor

CATERS untidy, but the laced shoe can al
ways be kept close to the foot. and will
keep its shape longer than any other.

Ornaments?" was asked of a dealer in that

We'll, yes, though at present there is
not much doing. because the people who
buy these things are out of the city.
Just before the opening of the summer
resorts our trade had wonderful boom.

The ladies were overcome by the cravings
of envy and fastened to adorn their pIgs
in the same way. Some even went SO far
as to have the ears of their dogs pierced
aud dainty little ear drops suspended
therefrom.
A philanthropic spirit started the story
that this practice interfered with the dogs

Seed Corn.

The Prairie Farmer gives the fol-
lowing advice On the subject of seed
corn: "After the experience of the
past two seasons few corn growers
ought to need little urging to put
their seed corn to severe test before
planting time. To plant poor seed is
to waste time, money and labor. A
good way to determine the germi-
mating power of seeds is to place
kernels from a considerable number
of ears, from tip, middle and butt OF
each, keeping them separate; place
in earth in box, pan Or other conven.
lent receptacle and keep moist in 8
warm room. Or place the kernels
between moist layers of cotton bat
ting or pieces of wooden cloth. KEEP
at near 600 of temperature and moist
In forty-eight to seventy-twe hour:
one can tell whether a sufficient per
eentage of the corn will grow Oh not
There are many other ways of test
ing. Will readers tell us their APP
proved methods if they have bette
than these?"

Correct.

Governor Marmaduke states that
the cattle disease is under complete
control; that the private subscrip-
tons will be amply sufficient for all
needs; that the government quaran-
tine established by Commissioner
Colman is perfect, and that the tenn
per of the people all over the state is
such as to render it improbable that
the legislature would make any ap-
preparation if called together at this
time. These facts ale unanswerable.
The truth is that there never was
such an enormous tempest in 80 di-
minutive a teapot as this whole cattle
scare has been. There never was

II is now time for Audrain people
at least, TO stop adding to the pleuro-
pneumonia panic. The State univer-
sity publishes upon the authority Of
Prof. Paquin, the state veterinarian,
and of two government surgeons in
Galloway county, the fact that the
disease is apparently extirpated.
When professional men whose bust
ness it is to look after symptoms of
the disease. cannot find cases, it may
be taken for positive truth that there
are no cases. Experts are much more
likely to pronounce minor diseases
pleuro-pneumonla than to say pleuro-
pneumonia does not exist. There is
no reason growing out of authentica-
ted facts for an extra session of the
legislature Or for further agitation of
the matter. A reasonable sum of
money-and not a great deal is re-
quired-hould be quietly raised with
which to buy and destroy the few
animals in Galloway county remotely
suspected of having been within the
influence of c~ontagion. Let the talk
end there Missouri is not a pleuro-
pneumonia state. The publicity civ.
en- to the outbreak at Fulton and the
thorough examination which veteri'
narians have made should convince
any reader of the papers that this
state has less of the cattle plague
than almost any other. The worle
must be told the whole truth, which
5 is that Missouri cattle are not threat
: ened with pleuro-pneumonia, that tn
. danger has been exaggerated ant

Bill Mes Carving.

"My carving is like my dancing"
says Bill Nye. "It is not conven-
tional; it is extremely original, bold
and audacious. I try to introduce
joints where nature did not intend to
have them, and I seek to make short
cuts across a fowl in a way that is
productive only of chagrin, vexation
and fragments of hen. Man is a
weak, fallible creature, and he ought
not to seek to monkey with the ana
tony of a fowl or to improvise joints
and apertures where they do not be
long; for at such time as you think
not the knife will slip, and it will trip
over the celery glass and fill the
