Foreign Trade of Japan in 1897.

Foreign Trade of Japan in 1897.
The London Times says: The
preliminary totals for the foreign
trade of Japan last year show the
aggregate foreign trade in 1890 was
Sl39,221, 246, being an increase of
s2.l56,78O as compared with 1889.
The exports amounted to s56,593,-
513, and the imports to Sol, 721,1o3,
SO that the latter exceeded the
former by over s25,000,000, or
near s3O,OO0,OO0 if freight, insur-
ance and other transit and import
charges are added to the total
value here given, which includes
only the market value at the port
of shipment. Such disparity be-
tween the exports and imports has
never been known before; for
many years the two were about
equal, but for ten years past
the exports have always exceeded
the imports, sometimes by a very
large amount. This year the inn
ports are about half as much again
as the exports. This curious trans
formation is largely due to the
failure of the rice crop of 1889, by
which exports lost in the one iten
of rice about 100000, while, as
rice had to be imported to make up
for the deficit, imports gained s1O,-
100000 under this head, making
up ST., 100000, while the remainder
is attributable to the great disturb
ance of international exchange
caused by the silver legislation of
the United States"

Burning Clay for Manure.

The benefit of burned earth as fertili-
ger is not always thoroughly appreciated,
SAYS c. S. Waters in EARN and Vine
yard have used it for wheat and for
root crops with decided advantage, and the
results have induced me to use a much
larger quantity every season. 1t was used
at the rate of | 900 bushels per acre on Il
wheat field sown with clover, leaving the
middle of the field undone. The benefit
was very marked both in the wheat and
the young clover. The whole Of the field
had been top MANFRED with guano, har-
rowed in with the seed, and where the
burned earth was not used the clover
plants and the wheat were of very inferior
growth and quality. The best earth for
this purpose is not turfy soil full of vege-
table matter, but poor, cold, argillacious,
tenacious clay, such as is used for making
bricks. When this is burned it becomes a
pale yellow or orange My method of
burning the earth is to break up the land
with pillow in very dry weather. Some
times it breaks up in huge masses or clods,
which are admirably adapted to form walls
and supports for the mass of fire. The
earth is piled up in solid heaps or masses
and quantity of dried wood or stumps
placed over the earth. The whole is then
enclosed with mass of large clods. An
important point in burning is to supply the
fire sufficiently fast to prevent its burning
through, and yet avoid OVERLAPPING it, which
might exclude all air and put it out
When the fire shows tendency to break
through, the outside Of the burning mass
| is raked down and more earth added. If
the ground is very dry and no rain falls ii
is necessary to feed the fire almost continu-
ally, but when there is moisture it may be
left for five or six hours. A great deal
depends upon the currents of air When
the carty is properly burnt it is spread on
the field in dry weather, the clcds crushed
with clod crusher. This pulverizes it,
and brush harrow distributes it equally
over the field. Young clover treated in
this way does exceptionally we'll Where
fuel is abundant it will pay farmers to burn
clay for manure. OF its cheapness as a
fertilizer there can be no question, and on
certain soils and for certain crops it can
not be surpassed 1t certainly deserves a
/ trial.
