A Military Country.

In Japan every able-bodied man is
soldier, and even the children know the
use of arms. Military drill is part of
the regular education in the schools
throughout the empire. Schoolboys
dress in military uniform cut on the
pattern of cadet uniforms in Europe
and America. Their instructors are
regular army officers, veterans of the
war with China, and some of them of
the Satsuma rebellion of 1877. This
has it's effect on the youthful mind, ever
prone to hero worship, and trebly so in
Japan.

The Pea Louise.

We advise those who have grown
peas and lost their crop this year by
reason of the pea louise on the vines not
ing them. Unless they differ very much
from other plant lice, year that sees
them most abundant may be followed
by many years before they are trouble
some again. To cease planting peas
will not exterminate them, as they live
also upon clover and other plants. II
they make the pea crop less profitable a
few years, enough may stop planting
peas to make them a good crop for
those who have them with no lice on
them.-American Cultivator.

Under the Barn Floor.

When we were young 1t was found
that the planks in the stable floor were
SO damaged that it was desirable to
had probably not been taken up for
many years, and the amount of fertil-
iZing material that was dug out there
and thrown into the barnyard was a
revelation to us. We think we dug at
least four feet deep, and doubt if we
got the whole of the valuable material
and perhaps much less than half Of it.
Certainly it was well saturated or had
been with the liquids from the stables,
and it was richer than the ordinary
barnyard manure, as we found when
we put it on the land, or when the
crops grew upon which we put it. The
hole we made was filled up with dry
sand, and if it has not been cleaned out
since we would warrant that there are
several loads of good fertilizer there
now. This taught us to appreciate the
value of barn cellar in which the ma
nure, both liquid and solid, could be
saved, and although we now would not
keep COWS in a stable with a cellar un-
der it, or at least would never plan to
have manure cellar under the cows, we
still think that large share of the fer
tilizing value of the manure is lost
when there is not some arrangement
for saving the liquid as well as the
solid. And for this we would have a
cement floor, with a movable plank
floor over it. We would not have the
fumes of the manure coming up
through the floor into the room where
we had to do the milking.-American
Cultivator.
