Chinese Agricultural METHODS,

Mr.. Wildman, consul general at
Hongkong, in a communication to the
department of state a few months ago,
stated that there is no market in
Southern China for American harvest
ing machinery such as reapers, now
ers, horse rakes, ETC., nor forsteam and
gang plows, seed drills and harrows.
Mr.. Wildman said by way of explana-
ton: The agricultural land of South
ern China is divided into small hold
1ngs, many Of which are not over an
acre in size, and very few running over
10 acres. Every available inch of this
land. is under cultivation, and the
planting and reaping is all done by
hand; where plows are used they are
of home manufacture and are as ,prim-
tive as those of Biblical times. The
majority of the ~peasantry live at the
rate Of from 2 to 5 cents a day, and
even If they could afford to purchase
modern American farming machinery
there would be no room to use it. The
nearest thing to such machinery that
I have seen in southern China is a
tanning mill, which is easily con-
structed by the ingenious Chinaman.
The grain is either trod out of the
straw by water buffaloes OF whipped
over an open tub. Even if an entire
village should combine to buy an
American thrashing machine, it would
be used but once as it would be con-
sidered too wastefu1 both in the way it
mangles the straw and the grain and
in it's expensive upkeep. In southern
China there are no horses except the
diminutive China pony, and, as the
agricultural country is mostly fat,
there is no way to utilize water power.
AS for steam, it is an i~mpossibility,
fuel being n of the most expensive
Chinese luxuries. AS long as labor has
almost no value and flesh and blood
is the cheapest thing on the market,
/ can not recommend American manu-
%facturers to waste good printed matter
and postage stamps on SO impossible
a field"

Cou1dn,t wear shoes.

Sumpter, ILL.,, June 10th.-Mrs. j. B.
Flanagan, of this place, has suffered
with dropsy for fifteen years. She was
so very bad that for the last three
years she has not been able to wear her
shoes. She had doctored all the time,
but was gradually getting worse.
Last winter Mr., Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged, called for some
medicine at Mr.. J. j. Dale's drug store
in Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded him to
have his wife try Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and he bought six boxes. His wife
used out of the six, before she was
entirely cured. She is now as sound
and we'll as she ever was, completely
restored to health, and free from any
whatever of dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanagan is pleased
at her wonderful deliverance does not
half express her feelings, and she and
Mr.. Flanagan are loud in heir praises
of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of MI.
Dale for recommending this wonderful
remedy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan of such a severe
case of dropsy, after the doctors had
given her up, has made them the most
talked-of remedy ever known in White
county.

The sugar beet will grow on almost
any kind of soil that will produce good
grain crops. If the soil be too alkali
to produce a good grain crop, it may
also produce sugar beets, the beets TAX
ing more alkali than grain. While fall
ploWing is desirable in many localities,
spring blowing is practiced extensive
~. Old beet growers say that when
the land is to be plowed in the spring,
the blowing should be done only just
before the beet seed is to be put in.
IN Colorado and the west, subsoiling
IS advocated, and at some of the sta
tlons decided gains in weight of beets
have followed it's use.
Early planting gives largest crops,
put the planting may be as late as the
latter part of May. AS to depth of
planting much must depend on the
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1901-07-18

nature of the soil and the amount of
moisture it contains. If the soil be
clayey, it Is evident that the sowing
cannot be as deep as where the soil
is sandy. If the soil be naturally dry
the SEED must be placed deeper than
it should be where the soil is natural
iy wet, Beet growers consider the
depth for planting beet seed on an or
binary soil to be from one to one and
a half inches deep.
The distance apart to plant the beets
must depend on the system used in
growing them. Where beets are to
be irrigated the problem differs con-
siderably from the same problem in
localities where the natural humidity
is sufficient for all the requirements
OF the beets. In humid parts the rows
can adyantageously be placed about
twenty inches apart. In irrigated fields
the rows are often arranged so that
only every other furrow will need ir-
rigation. One experimenter, Mr.. Wat
rous, recommends double rows IL
inches apart, with "a inches between
each two rows and the next two rows.
Prof. Cooke disagrees with this to the
extent of advocating double rows II
inches apart and ~ inches between
each two rows and the next.
There is nothing fixed in agricul-
ture and there is nothing fixed in beet
growing. The amount of seed even
to be used varies enormously, accord
ing to the man that does the beet
raising and the process to be followed.
There are two Numerically opposite
systems In vogue. On. is to plant the
seeds SO that few beets will be raised,
but so that each beet will grow in the
place where it is to remain. This is
expensive Of labor, though by it good
crops have been raised with three to
i've pounds of seed to the acre. The
other practice is to SOW from fifteen
to twenty pounds of seed to the acre,
produce a great number of plants and
pull most Of them up in thinning.
There is labor about this method also,
but it is more popular than is the
other, and IS probably more prac-
ticable.

of the stage boards, and he was over
joyed when I pointed out the exact

prospect of a joke at his expense. That
night he carefully stood On the tack
and sang the high c. Rushing into the

Battery, New York, has been approved
by the trustees Of the Naval Arch As
ISOLATION and the organization of the
finance committee for the collection of
the funds, with which to construct it
will be effected at once. The design

estimated that the arch, including the
s%tatuary, will cost $S50,00O, while the
sea-wall, beacons and monuments will
cost 100000 more. In organizing the
committee for the collection of the
fund, every care is to be taken to
make 1t as representative as possible,

Grain Crops and Fruit in Great Britain


Our English correspondent writes to
US under date of April 80: THE SOW
ing of what we in this vicinity call
spring corn Gas we do not limit the
generic term corn to one description
of it) is later this year than the old
est farmer has ever known it to be.
At least the general start was late, as
it did not take place till April II,
though some farmers had made a lit
tie progress earlier. Until that date
we had not had two consecutive laws
free from rain or frost from the be-
ginning of February. But since the
18th of April we have had constantly
dry weather and nearly all the sowing
is finished. The winter wheat crop
generally looks well. / now wish to
refer to some nonsense about English
apples. Your quotation from the
American consul at Nottingham to the
effect that only a few of the harder
specimens of apples ripen in this eli
mate is arrant nonsense. The best ap
pies in the world ripen perfectly here,
and have a flavor that no American
apple can approach. About 1000 va
rieties are grown, 200 of these extan-
sively. Considerably over 200 varie-
ties, and many lots of each, were ex-
hibited in splendid condition at the
last Crystal Palace fruit show, and
this fruit included some bookkeeping
varieties. We grow more than four
times as many apples as we import"

some orange-erowlng Localities.


Il 70 stated on good authority that
the orange orchard area at Riverside,
California, covers thirty square miles,
or 1920 acres, on which are growing
$4,000 orange trees. The money
value of the crop approximates &c.
100000 annually, or about 1910 for
each man, woman, and child In the
district.
1t has been calculated that there are
in Italy $500, 900 orange trees which
yield on an average 1000, 900 900 Or
anges per year, or 800 oranges per
tree. In the province Of Seville, in
Spain, where the largest quantity of
oranges is grown in Europe, the aver
age annual yield per tree is estimated
at 600 oranges. The island of St.
Michael, in the Azores, produces on
an area of 265 acres $50, OO0, 900 or
anges, which are almost entirely ship
ped to England. In 1899 the total ex-
port of oranges from Spain exceeded
1000, 000, 900. Greece exported in 1899
some $4,000, 900 oranges.
