LITTLE FARMS IN JAPAN.
A Couple of Acres Are Considered Large
Tract for Farming Purposes.

Tract for Farming Purposes.
Japan, and not France or BELGIUM,
would appear to be the land of petite
culture. According to a recent American
bulletin couple of acres is considered a
large tract for farming purposes. Most
OF the farms are smaller, and on little
plot surprising variety of crops is Gull
tivated-a few square feet of wheat. bar
ley, maize and millet; plot of beans.
perhaps 10 feet wide by 20 feet long. a
similar area of potatoes and peas. and a
patch of onions "about as big as a
grave beetToots, lettuce, sweet pota
toes and other crops occupy the rest of
the area.
The farmer examines his growing crops
every morning just as an engineer in
spects his machinery, and if anything is
wrong he puts it right. If weed ap-
pears in bean patch he pulls it up; if a
hill of potatoes or anything else fails it
is at once replaNted. When he cuts
down tree he always plants another.
AS soon as one crop is harvested the soil
is worked over, MANFRED AMI forthwith
resown to another crop.

Japan has an income tax. If a tax
payer protests that he is rated too
high by the officials he is thrust into a
dark room and told to "think it over
carefully" Sometimes a man stays
there twenty-four hours, buried IN
darkness and thought, and finally he
is apt to agree with the officials that
he is richer than he at first supposed.

THE ADVANCED BABY,
An Effort to Abolish Baby Talk from the

An Effort to Abolish Baby Talk from the
Home Indignantly Denounced.
At meeting of the National Educa-

nately without success, to abolish ''babv
talk" thus depriying parents of their
Oldest and most cherished prerogative.
The argument of the anti-baby takers is
that if the small child is addressed in
Straightout ''grown-up language it will
cause the child to respond or make
known its wants in like manner. Fer
instance, little ''tootsy- after
having. loaded its stomach with half
dozen bananas, instead of saving, "Mum-
ma, Use dot de tummckake,'' will
gravely remark to the fond parent
Mother, dear, am seriously alarmed at
the discovery of symptoms which are
clearly indicative of severe attack of
cholera mOrbus, therefore, with your
permission, l suggest that the proper
remedies be administered at once The
idea of 3-year old child talking in this
way is enough to make the hair stand on
ones head.

vanoed kindergarten business. Again.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one purpose,

such IT Is not liable to any form of disease

Is from imperfect action OF the kidneys,

object to Carload Rates for Broken
Lots of Freight.


ST. LOUIS, April 1.-THE Interstate Com
merce commission today took up the case of
the st. Louis Business Mems league. wherein
they are asking for reduction in less than
carload rates from St. Louis to Texas and
southern points. Several railroad represent
atives were placed on the stand and the
trend of their testimony was that a granting
OF these requests would work a hardship on
the roads. 1t was testified that an enforce
ment OF less rates on freight from St. Louis
defined territory to Texas common points
would not only entail direct loss on the
roads on freight but would entail an addi-
tional loss in operating expenses as it would
require an additional expenditure of 35 to so
per cent to handle in this form with no in
crease in revenue. 1t was further stated that
a granting of this request was against the in
terest of the roads and the jobbers of Texas;
that the present rate OF car lots had been
secured after long discussion of the prob
lem and that 1t had been amicably settled
to the satisfaction of the Interstate commits
sion, the Texas Railway commission, the
jobbers, the railways and any change would
create not only confusion but would be ma
terially unjust to every one save the ST.
Louis jobbers who would profit by the dis
comfort and pecuniary loss of everybody else

SEEKING WESTERN INVESTMENTS.
Eastern Capitalists Buy Large Tracts

That eastern capitalists are again turning
their attention to western lands for the in
vestment OF their moneys is again evidenced
by sale of over $4,000 acres of land just
made by the land department of the Union
Pacific railway. Land Commissioner Nc
Allster of the Union Pacific yesterday
forwarded to the New York office OF a
syndicate of capitalists living in New York,
Chicago and Kansas City contract which
when signed will turn over to the syndicate
an immense tract of land in the western
part of Wyoming.
The deal has been practically completed and
the only act remaining unperformed is the
signature OF the heads OF the syndicate on
the contract The land is located north of
the Union Pacific track which runs through
the southern part of Wyoming. 1t is from
sixteen to eighteen miles northwest of Green
River station. The intention of the pur-
chasers is to place the land under irrigation
and to sell it out for farm land. Repre-
sentatives Of the syndicate inspected the tract
some time ago and reported that II was a
valuable piece of property and one likely TO
increase in value in the near future. They
recommended the purchase which has just
been made. No sale of a tract containing as
much as 1900 acres has been recorded in
