The Ironsides will open this season
Sunday by playing the Elizabeth At
lantic Leaguers at Elizabeth. There Is
a great deal of interest In this game
because several local boys will be seen
in the lineup of the leaguers.
Schott, who formerly played with the
Ironsidcs, will play first base and Phil
Langheld from the Turner'S will be one
of the catchers. Kid Hayes, formerly
OF the St. Benedict's, will probably do
the hurting. A large crowd from the
"Hill" will go along with the team to
Betsytown in the hope that their pride
will trim the Elizabeth aggregation.
That the game will be a good one goes
without saying, because the members
of both teams comprise some of the
best local players that have ever been
produced on the sand lots. The Iron
side lineup will be as follows: Haren'
berg, first base; Shields, second base
Lang, centre field; Albright, shortstop'
Pfeifer, left field; e. Rau, right field
Harry Welcher, catcher; Nothnagel
third base; Knoth, pitcher; Mullin

tion. Japan has been farmed for more than POGO years, and it Is difficult to ma much good unoccupied land. Every avail able foot seems to be used. but by chang ing the hills. and more particularly by consolidating the holdings of owners who have small tracts in the same district, much has been done. As it Is now, the fields are of all shapes. Here one spreads out like a fan, there one Is square and further on Is triangular patch. The country is made up of patches of all shapes and sizes, but none contains more than an acre or so. The government has persuaded the farmers of certain locali- ties by means of the exemption of tax alton on their lands for certain time to unite or exchange their holdings so that they may make rectangular fields and thus do away with many of the boun- daries and paths. This has not only in- creased the area. but has brought about better farming and bigger crops Some land has been redeemed in the Hokkaido, or as we call 1t, Yezo; and there is some thing like 70O,00O acres of new land there. Lands are being opened up in Formosa, and an attempt Is being made to fill up the waste lands of Corea.

bors crops while turning it around in his fields; and as for a thrasher, the peo- pie would mob him for taking away the work from the laboring classes. He could not use his blows without he bought up a whole county. and his fences would be useless to say the least. He would be surprised at every step at the methods of good cultivation. He would see wheat. oats and barley planted in series and transplanted again in rows a hands breadth apart. He would see these crops weeded as we weed onions, and would eventually sea them reaped with sickles close to the ground. After cutting, the straws are laid end to end in little sheaves and tied with a wisp at the bot tom. Each sheaf is then pulled apart, and hung over a rope or pole, like washing to dry. Later on the heads of the grain are cut off with a knife, and thrashed out with fall. In many places the grain is winnowed by throwing 1t up into the air, and in others the farmers use separators or hand flaming mills turned by a crank
 Flowing with Mattocks.
 The work of preparing the land is quite as hard as the planting and harvesting. The most of the country is dug over again and again every year. It is chopped with mattocks, which have blades four or five inches wide and as long as your arm. These are so made that the man or woman who uses them must bend double while digging. I have seen women with babies tied to their backs thus working in the rice fields. Their kimonos are tied up over their knees, and they wade through the mud as they set out the plants. I know of no crop which takes so much work as rice, and this is the money crop of Japan. It ranks here as wheat does with us. and Japan is rich or poor according as the rice crop does we'll Tn ma ct ha faw aa were paid in rice. and today the fnan- oiers watch the growth of this crop as our people do corn. cotton and wheat.
 The Rice Crop.
 The greater part of the rice crop is raised by irrigation. The fields are made at different levels and the water from the hills is run by canals from one to the other. The ground is prepared during the winter. It is covered with manure and made as level as the floor Along about April 1t is broken up with hoe or spade and then flooded.
 In the meantime the rice plants have been grown from the seeds in nurseries. They are taken up and scattered over the water as needed. Then the men. women and children of the family tie up their clothes and wade out in the mud They set the plants out in rows of punches of four or six plants each. They are so close together that it takes from 15o0 to 5000 punches per acre. The water is left on and the rice rapidly grows.
 The planting is done about June. The rice soon appears above the water and within a few weeks the whole of the country is a beautiful green. Almost every plant is watched. One sees big halted farmers dressed in blue gowns trotting along through the fields. If they a plant out of shape or not deep enough in the water, they will reach

fisheries there are valuable, yielding an oil cake which is shipped to Japan.
 . One of the most important fertilizers Of the Japanese farmer is night soil, which is used to the amount of $25.000,000 an nually This is saved in city, village and country, and it has a regular market val ue. You can smell the wagons carrying this stuff at certain hours every night in any Japanese city, and at these hours 1t is best to remain in ones hotel. Such manure is fermented in wells covered with straw awnings to keep out the rain. It is dipped out in buckets and sprinkled directly upon the plants. For this reason the average foreigner who understands anything about Japanese gardening will not eat salads nor any new vegetables unless cooked.

 Osaka, Japan. N URING the past two months E have been travelling through the A-> farming districts of Japan. They should be an ooject lesson to the United States The country is kept like a gar den, and 1t is as fat as the valley of the Nile A great part of It, however, is covered with forests. much of 1t is mountainous, and, all told, the cultivated parts are half as big as the state of Ohio. Nevertheless, this small area is now feeding more than 50.0o0,0O0 people, or more than one-half as many as we have in the United States. It produces every year 100,000, ,000 bushels of rye, bar ley and wheat; 250,000.00o bushels of rice and nearly 100,00OO0O pounds of tobacco. It grows 56,000.000 pounds of tea, 100000 bushels of silk cocoons, as well as buck wheat, millet, beans, indigo, cotton and hemp The rice crop alone is worth $200. 900 per annum

 can give you no idea of the intensive cultivation which is going on here. The whole country Is divided up into patches. ranging in size from that of a bed quilt to tracts of an acre or so, and every bit of it is as clean of weeds as a govern ment flower bed. There are no fences, and one looks over a crazy quilt, made up of patches of many colored crops, bound together with the green grass which forms the boundaries of the fields. The Japanese farms are, on the average, mot more than two acres in size, and only 15 per cent of all the holdings are of more than four acres. The ownership is widely scattered. There are, altogether, about S,000,000 families engaged in agriculture. and many of these have their whole living of hox small tracts of their own and rent more. As it is today. only about one-half of the land is worked by the owners. The rest is farmed by tenants who pay propor tion of the crops or high money rents.
 But come with me and take a look at the farming country It Is nothing like that of America. There are no barns nor hay stacks. There are no big fields and no cattle nor horses. The ordinary Jap anese farmer would look upon a Penn sylvania bank barn as a temple. and worship in 1t if he saw It. He would look upon our sheep as so many wild animals, and a Percheron horse or a Shorthorn COW would be as much out of place on his little tract as the traditional bull in the china shop. This Is so. notwithstand- ing there are something like 2,0O0. 900 cat tie and horses in Japan. Most of them, however, are used for freighting or as draft animals to carry goods over the country. They are always kept up and one never sees them roaming about feeding alone in the fields. The cart s the chief farm vehicle and 1t is more of ten hauled by men or bullocks than by horses.

 This phase of agriculture is encouraged by the government.
 Here are some of the occupations that the farmers follow during the idle sea sons. They make starch, macaroni jam and dried fruits. They manufacture straw braid, mat facings and the mats used for rearing silk worms. They make baskets of all kinds, bags for charcoal, straw ropes. straw rain coats and straw hats In many of their houses weaving goes on and in some they manufacture silk and paper. Some of them burn char coal, others make lime, and others re- fine camphor.
