harulzawa, Japan.-Exactly how a
missionary goes about introducing lis
teachings to a heather" community
which knows absolutely nothing about
Christianity is an interesting point
seldom made pl@n; now have seen
II done, and the procedure is worth
describing. This trip to large in
terror town, where missionaries and
Christianity are unknown, with the in
cldents which befell by the way, was
the most interesting experience thus
Tar encountered in Japan.
In several features this particular
preaching expedition was abnormal
1t was made in connection with an
excursion to the famous hot springs
OF kusatsu by party of mission
aries who are spending their vaca-
ton in Karuizawa, the largest sum-
mer resort for foreigners in Japan.
There were eight young American mis-
sionaries, twog japanese teachers or
evangelists, and myself, in the party
which started early one morning for
SA0 Ho~Ah4lC WdIh over lie mountains
to Kusatsu. 1t was worth while to
get this intimate view of missionaries,
for three Gays of hard travel under
these conditions was enough to reveal
the inwardness of mans nature.
Escaping from the five runners from
the one so-called European hotel, who
besieged us at various points along
the latter half of the journey, and de-
spite assurances from apparently dis
interested persons that all the native
inns were full, the party, by an ex-
ercise of its Japanese speech and
western persistence, found an emf
nently satisfactory Japanese hotel,
where all the missionaries were at
once at home, being quite accustomed
to eating and sleeping on the floor.
AT once the native teachers set out
TO arrange for a religious service by
the foreigners.
The Preachers and the Police.
Soon the kindly paternalism of the
n. 3aaese police was encountered. I'm.

'oreigners had been obliged to register

Soaked Corn for Pics.

One of our subscribers asks if it is
beneficial and profitable to soak old
corn before feeding it to his pigs.
There are some of the very best
feeders who practice soaking their
corn, when it is dry and hard, twelve
to twenty-four hours before feeding,
and believe that IT is not only a salts
factory way of feeding but that it
pays, says the American Swinenerd.
They believe that the corn is easier
digested when soaked than when dry
and hard.
There are other very good feeders
who do not follow this system of feed
ing, but feed the corn dry, asserting
that it is not gulped down by the pigs
like a slcp made of ground feed nor
ike soaked corn; but requires more
mastication, and, therefore, more of
the saliva is intermingled with it,
which is necessary process to assist
the digestion.
Each class of feeders is equally sue
cessfuI in its business. While one per-
son who feeds soaked corn may Sc
cure better results over another that
practices the same plan of feeding,
but who doesn't have the skill, or, as
the boys say, isn't a born feeder, COM
pared with the other who is more sue
cessful, showing that a great deal OF
the advantages lie in the man him
self. He doesn't overfeed and stall
them, and thereby throw them off
their feed. He watches them closely.
He gives them charcoal and salt. He
gives them a change of feed for the
variety and to keep them toned up.
There has been great deal of dis
cussion on feeding soaked corn,
ground feed and dry corn, and the ex-
pertinent stations show that there is a
6 to per cent gain from feeding corn
meal over feeding hard corn as prac-
ticed by the same feeder.
A breeder who is anxious to get at
the bottom facts, to possess. the truth,
should get as close to this matter as
possible. Give it more good thought,
observe your own results from your
own feeding, and then adopt that
which proves best for you, with the
assurance that some Of the best feed
ers practice feeding corn as stated by
you There are more successful ways
than one.

Cow Peas.

Don't think of not planting full
crop of cowpeas because you think
the seed too high.
Where seed is scarce plant In the
drill and cultivate them with the plow
or disk harrow. One peck of good
seed may be made to completely
cover the ground with vines if the
whey sort is planted.
Harvest the crop of seed and vines
when pods begin to turn yellow by
cutting the vines off at the roots,
rake up in good size stacks; when well
cured stack or house all together.
Thrash out peas and vines with a
thresher or stick. This threshing OF
the vines improves the mechanical
condition of the hay and solves the
problem as to the cheapest method OF
gathering cowpeas.
You can well afford to pay even
per bushel for cowpeas rather than
do without the crop.

A pleasant feature about this house

they should be. @
This house should be heated with a

will be reasonably short and every

TWO hymns were sung, the an
nouncement was repeated, and the
procession wendell its way down near
the leper bath, with natives bringing
up the rear. Another halt was made
and a similar procedure was adopted;
and again, further up the village, a
third stand was made. This was
short distance beyond where two ma
tive story -tellers were entertaining
large crowds with sing-song recitals,
after the ancient custom. The mis-
sionaries considerably moved to a
distance before singing, lest they
should disturb these audiences, but
they nevertheless got considerable
following from the fringes of the lat
ter. At a slow pace, to accomro-
date the lame and the halt, the crozd
moved on to the appointed nesting
place, having created a sensation in
the town.
A Fresh Sensation For The faded.
Curiosity, and tbs desire OF the
blase for new sensation, was large
ly responsible for the attentive COM
pany of about SO Japanese which gath
cred when the meeting opened. Out
side the room, which, in the convenient
fashion of the land, was enlarged by
removing two of the walls, was bor-
der Of wondering women and children.
Inside were the men, sitting on their
| knees, according to the native code of
politeness; after the Introductory adj
dress, one of. the auditors spoke up
and, with profoundest apologies for
the rudeness, asked if the men might
not be so impolite as to sit cross
| legged, the more comfortable posture,
since they were most of them invalids.
With many mutual bowings-to live in
Japan insures abundant exercise for
the muscles of the back-the request
was OF course granted by the mission
| aries, only half of whom. | noticed,
knew the art of sitting on their knees;
I found the ordeal of sitting cross
legged for more than an hour quite
severe enough.
The meeting was the first Christian

munity, the official said, although ]

floor in the parlor, or dining-room, or
both and they want little wider win

wife wants change in partitions be-
tween her bedroom and where the
children sleep. AS a general thing a

tition is a simple thing in her esti-
nation. She can see how it could be
set over foot or two and make the
room little larger, but she don't see

Although this is one-story cottage,
it is not a very small affair. 1t IS 90
feet wide by SO feet long and contains
i've rooms downstairs with an oppor-
tunity to make a couple of good bed
rooms on the floor above. The Cost
Of the house will depend very mucn
on local conditions, but it Will de-
pend more on the tastes and require
nents of the owner. 1t is not an ex-
pensive house necessarily. Inc
largest timbers are only two by elght'
and the principal framework is punt
up with two by four scantlings and
the trimmings are such as may Dc
bought in any lumber yard.
Some men in building house select
plan, let the contract and go away
about their other business until the
house is finished, but there are a
great many other men who are con-
structed on different lines. Contrac-
tors call them fussy, but l call them
particular. They want to see what
kind of material goes into the house,
and they want to know whether a nail
goes into each flooring joist or wheth-
er flooring strip is put down in a
hurry with one nail to four joists.
While investigating the laying of the
floor this kind of man is also inquis-
tive about the tonguing. He wants
to know how often it is mashed in
with the head of an adj.
Then, there is class of fellows
who follow the construction closely,
and study the plan as the work pro-
crosses and who find out every day
that they would like something a lit
tie different. They want a hard wood

The agitation in churning should be
as violent as the form OF churn Will
admit. The churning is to be stopped
while the butter is in granular form.
In order to have as thorough churning
as possible, the temperature Of the
cream should not be over So idegrees
The buttermilk should be drawn from

The butter must be removed from the

should be to the taste of the custo-
mer. For most people one ounce to

SOUTHERN
AGRICULTURE
FEEDING CATTLE in THE SOUTH.
Southern Farmers Can Not Afford TO
Grow Stock on Purchased Feeds.

Now want to go on record as
stating that the farmers of the South
east will never do any great business
in stock growing and feeding while
they depend on the purchasing OF feed
stuffs for the finishing of their ami
mails. What we want to do is to grow
on our own farms the feed consumed
by our animals, as We can grow feed
at from one third to ona-half what the
same feed would cost us on the mar
ket, to say nothing of cost of trans
portation, So l say if you are grow
ing cotton, by all means feed your
cottonseed neal; but if you ere not
in a cotton section, don't you pUr-
chase very much meal, but instead,
grow corn and feed that What
mean by corn is the entire corn plant,
not simply the grain, and we want to
see 50 per cent of the crop grown into
the silo. There isn't farm in the
South that is producing cotton that
cannot produce corn as well, while
there are thousands Of farms on which
corn can be made valuable crop that
will not produce cotton at all.
Harrow made a strong point in
favor Of cottonseed meal when he
brought out the fact that the manure
resulting from the feeding of this
product was so rich in nitrogen. But
look here! What business has the
farmer purchasing nitrogen at Is
cents per. pound when he can grow all
he needs on his own farm for moth
ing, it being simply valuable by
product from the production of our
most valuable hays.
The writer has grown feed and fed
It to cattle and hogs in the great corn
belt, and for the past six years has
been engaged in the same busiI.ess in
North Carolina, and / tell you can
at one-half the cost Of production In
the North. Our land has in the six
years increased in value and produc-
tiveness about 400 per cent, while the
Northern land has increased about 10
per cent. This cattle-feeding business
tuSduS u SECdL uCctl " Lie CoASiLCc%oG '
To raise cattle proftably we must
have grass. The grass roots bind our
soils together, preventing washing
and wasting of plant food to tie soil
They are harvested by the stock with
out cost, except for fencing; so if you
don't get within a few cents of the
market value of the grain used in fin
fishing your animals you are still
ahead, as the summer feeding Of the
animals costs very little.
AS the writer sees it, what we want
to grow in the grain line is a product
rich in fat-producing elements. as the
South is the home of the legune and
the securing of proteids is the least
of the farmer feeders troubles.-A L

should this meeting place be too small
for the foreigners purpose, the police
themselves would provide a larger
room. But some 200 men, women and
children crowded around when the
service began, and listened to the new
teachings with an attention that could
not be surpassed in a Fifth avenue
church. The same speakers took part,
although with different addresses. A
considerable circle of young men,
mostly students, gathered about Mr..
Hail after the meeting, for further

where they came from, whittier they
were going and how long they in
tended to stay. This is part of the
marvelous1y complete system whereby
the police department keeps a record
of every foreigner within the borders
of the empire. Soon the japanese
teacher returned to say that the police,
while quite willing that the visitors
should hold preaching service in the
public square, advised that it be very
short and simple, lest there be trouble
with the rough element in town. Later,
there came a second message, couched
in politest terms, suggesting that the
meeting be held in the hotel, where
the honorable gentlemen lodged, at
the upper end of the village.
So it was arranged. Shortly after
eight o'clock, lighted by the conyen-
tional paper lanterns which the inn
supplied, we proceeded to the public
square. alongside of a steaming pool
whose sulphurous fumes suggested the
ouposite of things heavenly. In fact,
Kusatsu itself is a good place for
preaching. It's very existence is based
largely upon the consequences OF. i'm
morality. The permanent population
liz about 1900 persons, all living OF
the visitors, who number between
three and four thousand, more than a
score of whom are Europeans. These
hot sulphur baths, for centuries the
most famous in Japan, while eh1cacious
in rheumatism and govt, are more gen
orally used for the most loathsome
skin diseases. By far the largest NUM-
her OF visitors go to Kusatsu as
penalty for their own or their parents
transgrsssion of the moral law.
The Old and the New in Competition
But to return to the party of mis-
sionary visitors in the center of the
village. The simple presence of &C
many foreigners, apparently in good
health. attracted attention. When the
older of the two japanese preachers
announced, holding aloft his lantern
that the foreigners would speak and
sing that night, heads began to ap
near on all sides. Then the mission
aries. all of whom speak Japanese
gathered about their one hymn book
ana began to sing japanese trans,

meantime the native evangelist was
busily accosting individuals, inviting
them to the service and giving them
tracts.
