The number of men who graduate from
college without having decided what oc-

fewer every year. This year will be no ex-
ception at Brown University. The larger

diplomas in few weeks have selected their
future work, and have taken those studies
which will especially fit them for their
duties. Brown always sends out large
number Of teachers. Twenty-three have
signified their intention OF teaching. The

nineteen have decided to practice at the

one literature; twenty-four will continue
to study at other institutions. Several may

Little Farms in Japan.

Japan, and not France or Belgium,
would appear to be the land of petite
culture. According to a recent Amer
lean bulletin a couple of acres is con-
sidered large tract for farming pur-
poses. Most of the farms are small
er, and on a little plot a surprising
variety of crops is cultivatea-a few
square feet of wheat, barley, maize
and millet; a plot of beans, perhaps
ten feet wide by twenty feet long,
similar area of potatoes and peas, and
patch of onions ''about as big as a
grave" beetroot, lettuce, turnips,
sweet potatoes and other crops occupy
the rest of the area. The farmer ex-
amines his growing crops every morn
ing, just as an engineer inspects his
machinery, and if anything is wrong
he puts it right. If weed appears in
the bean patch he pulls it up; if

AS soon as one crop is harvested the

is estimated that nine-tenths of the
agricultural land of Japan is devoted
to rice, and as this is a crop requir-
ing much water, the paddy fields are
banked up into terraces, one above
the other, and divided off into small
plots twenty-five feet to thirty feet
square, with ridges of earth between
them to prevent the water from flow
ing away when they are flooded. All
farming lands are irrigated by a sys-
tenn that is 1000 years old. Some of
the bitches are walled up with bam-
boo wicker work and some with tiles
and stone. Nearly half the total pop
ulation of Japan is engaged in agrl-
culture. Silk and tea, the two chief
exports of the country, are raised al

Louisiana. At the same time there
are difficulties attaching to the use
of pea vines that while not insuper-
able, frequently lead to very serious
results. We refer to the difficulty in
securing the pea vines in good and
proper condition for forage. In
Louisiana pea vines are planted large
ly for the double purpose of being
plowed under as fertilizer and for
forage, in addition to such fertiliza-
ton as is accomplished by the roots.
AS in the sugar districts fall plow-
ing begins frequently the last week
in August, peas have been planted at
such dates as would bring them into
the best condition for blowing under
at that time. The showery weather
then ordinarily prevailing in Louisiana
vines in good condition for forage,
while not interfering seriously with
their use as green crop fertilizer.
Latterly, some planters have planted
peas especially for forage crops,
planting them so late, say in the mid
die of June, that they would come in
to good condition for harvesting for
forage by the middle of September,
when the weather is usually dry and
pea vines for forage can be secured
to the best advantage.
Notwithstanding all this, mouldy
pea vines continue to exhibit them
selves, even where every precaution
has been taken, and recently at a
sugar plantation on the upper coast
a valuable horse died under peculiar
circumstances and many of the mule
stock were sick. An investigation by
DR.. w. H. Dalrymple, of Baton Rouge,
ascribes the whole difficulty to
mouldy pea vine hay.
AS hay of some kind is of such
great value and such an imperative
necessity for the feeding of our work
stock, it would seem desirable for the
planters of this state to give it more
attention than it has hitherto had. AS
we live in a land that is full of valua-
BILE native grasses and as our hay
supply is ordinarily so abundant, we
are led to be a little careless in these
matters, but the advent of three-cent
sugar and five-cent cotton has taught
us all such a severe lesson that we
now feel great anxiety at the POSSIBLE
itv of even moderate losses. So far
as forage crops are concerned it
would seem comparatively easy for us
to secure them in good condition if
we make the proper effort. We COM
mend DR.. Dalrymple's article to the
careful study of our readers. Within
his own practice he has had one hun
dred mules affected by this damaged
pea vine hay during the last two

Farming Methods in Spain.

corning the outlook for the introduce
ton of agricultural machinery into
his district as follows:
''The large. acreage of the district
on account of the methods employed,
does not, in my opinion, yield much
more than 40 per cent of It's capacity.
This may be accounted for in many
ways, but principally, | think, by rea-
son of the primitive tools used, which
are those of Caesars time, and which
have not as yet given way to those of
progressive science. The implements
of agriculture in use here are the an
cient reaping hook and plows Of a
most Anticipated type-a species Of
crooked stick with pointed end
sheathed in iron, by which, with the
aid of yoke or two of oxen or horses.
the earth is turned up in deep and
narrow burrows, the single plowman
at the same time guiding the pillow
and his team.
farmers keep brood mares for tread
ing out and threshing grain, the
grain being separated from the chaff
and dirt by being tossed into the air
with shovels on windy days; it is
needless to say that this process does
not make it clean, and hence in sea
1o hoi
housed until winnOwed, is often de-
stroyed by unlocked for rains. HaT-
ing regard to the foregoing remarks,
| think that tanning mills and such
other agricultural implements as mod
ern plows (not steam, as fields in the
district are for the most part too
rocky and full of loose stones to ad-
nit of such), grain cutters, threshers,
separators, harrOWs (chain, Zigzag
form or drilD, moving machines,
reapers, binders, hay rakes, etc.,
could be introduced with the aid Of
skilled help, but not without opposi-
ton; such implements would, OF
course, by many be regarded as enemies
of labor, and farmers who realize the
advantage of improved tools, would
probably refuse to buy them, fearing
their destruction by their laborers,
who, as a class, would surely oppose
any introduction of labor-saving ma
chinery.
"In order to meet this only too GER
tain result of any hasty effort to over
come an opposition, | can not too
strongly impress my view that in or,
der to insure the ultimate success
here or anywhere in Spain of modern
agriculture implements, they must be
introduced and worked by skilled
English labor. 1t would be absurd to
send such articles here and trust them
to persons who know nothing about
them; they would (as has before oc-
cnrred) be thrown aside as unService-
able, and the opposition to their use
be intensified; but once understood,
and their use and advantages pract1-
cally demonstrated as [ have suggest
ed, such implements might then be
introduced into the district, and the
Standards would in time catch on,
and in this case their use would not
be abandoned One strong English

LOOK HERE, SMALL BOYS.
A CRIME TO ROB BIRDS NESTS, PUN
ISIIABLE BY FINE AND IMPRI-
SONMENT.

Clarion Ledger.
There is very salutary law on our
statute books which, at this season Of
the year. should be brought to the at
tcntion OF the young American given
to rUbblng birds nests.
Few Of our young deprcdatOrs are
aware that it is crime in this State,
punishable by fine and imprisonment,
to rob birds nests or to kill or pursue
certain birds. 1t is lamentable fact
that many Of our charming fcathered
ncighbOrS are fast becoming scarce and
are threatened with total extinction,
to which fact the ClariOn-Lcdger has
SO often called attention. Now while
some blame is laid at the door OF the
English sparrow, it is doubtful if the
sparrow is not "mOreSinned against
than slnning," and we are inclined to
the opinion that the small boy who so
ruthlcSsly destroys every spring hun
drcds of eggs and young birds is the
more important factor in driving out
our familiar friends.
The law Of this State bearing on
this subject, is set forth in the Code
Of 1890 as follows:
"Scc. ll34-Game; certain birds not
to be killed and certain nests not to be
robbed: II any person Shall at any
time shoot, wound, injure, kill, catch
or pursue with such intent, mocking
bird, or cat bird, or thrush; or shall
destroy or rob the nest OF any wild
bird whatever, except crows, black
birds, English sparrowS, blue jays,
hawks, owls, and other birds Of prey,
he shall be guilty Of a misdcmeanor,
aud, on conviction, shall be fined not
less than one dollar nor more than ten
dollars, or be imprisoned in the county
Jail not exceeding ten days"

WONDERFUL THINGS THAT
ARE NEAR.

The Philadelphia Press foreshadows
the coming OF the millennium as fol.
lows:
Flying is solved The principle is
known. A mechanical expedient is
all that is now needed to make it sue
cessful. Practical flight is to-day not
more than five or ten years of.
A glow worm makes light with
about one thrce-hundredth part OF
the force used in ordinary artificial
light. When men know how to make
light as cheap, streets and homes will
be as light as day for mere fraction
OF what light now costs. This is near.
Vacuum illumination without incan-
dcScence is already in full operation,
and in a year or two should cut down
the price Of light to sixth OF its cur.
rent cost, and in five or ten years
light may be, like water, turned on in
every house at will,
Compressed air has long been known
to be the the best way, theoretically,
to store force for use in tranSpOrta-
tion. There is no waste and no de-
terioration The need Is cheap and
efficient motor to apply compressed
air to city transportation. II this
can be done, first the trolley poles and
wires will come down, next the horse
less, compressed air motor carriage
will do all the work OF city delivery.
When these come the only use for
gas will be for cooking-il this is not
done by electricity. Factories, also,
before many years, will be run by
transmitted electric power. This has
begun to be done and ia five or ten
years will be completed, and the fac
tory fire and boiler will be a thing OF
the past.
The city OF the future, and no very
distant future, will have no trolley
poles or wires and no horses. All
movements will be ON rail and by 81
lent air motors or by horSelcss car
riages equally silent. All pavemcnts
will be asphalt Unlimited light will
be as cheap as unlimited water is to-
day. No coal will be delivered at pri-
vatc houses and no ashes taken from
them. With no horses, no coal and
no ashes. street dust and dirt will be
reduced to minimum. With no fac
tory fires and no Kitchen Or furnace
fires, the air will be as pure in the
city as in the country. Trees will
have a chance; houses he warmed and
lighted as easily and cheaply as they
are now supplied with water.
A city will be a pretty nice place to
live in when the first twenty years OF
the twentieth century are passed.

that time until 1924 its expectation
increased very rapidly and almost par
allied our New England mills. But
in that year and in 1928 and 1882
Congress placed duty Of % per cent
ad valOrem on all English cotton
goods, and this protection greatly re.
vved our own manufactures. This
tariff was reduced in 1916 and the out
side world given faircr chance to
compete.
But cotton is still king-kiEg in the

still the greatest factor in the worlds

That voice SO full, and fresh. and free;
That seems alone for me tn hear,
That seems heart balm but for me.
Each year he comes, and sits and sings
Upon the sclfsamc old pear bough,
And right into my heart he rings
A happiness know but now.
Each year he comes. and brings. it seems,
A sweeter, brighter, better song;
Each thrilling note awakes new dreams,
And heavenly hopes rise in their throng,
And SO I've learned to watch his ways.
And long have learned to love his voice,
For, oft when darkest are the days,
He makes my sadden'd soul rejoice.

As but mock birds changcful song
will shift the shadows from the spring
And make us glad the iveday long
