A HORSE PASTURE IN JAPAN OCCUPIED BY A HUNDRED THOUSAND HORSES, A Tract Seventy Miles Long and Fifty Miles Wide, Fenced in bankment Sixteen Height, by an Em Feet in (Dr. H. Lash iam ramento Res rd-Union. } The imperial horse pasturing estabiish ment in apa was founded by the conti nental con (uerers of the island where it is situated more than a thousand vears ago The country conquered embraced the peniusulan between the bay of Yeddo and the 1 acifie ocean. The country is a table land, with an altitude above the water of £00 feet It is seventy miles long and fifty mies wide. It is of irregular shape, with serrated borders, conforming to the irregularities of the bay and ocean. It has thousands of beautiful groves of onks and evergreens, und the country presents much the appearance of the ouk openings of Michigan and Kentucky. It is covered with clover, fescue, and rye grasses. it was determined by the government to re serve all this region as a pasture in which to breed horses for the imperial armies It could have been easily fenced from the proves of timber, but that would have left t exposed to the attacks of the hostile Ainos, who were still only a huadred or two miles further north. An edict was issued and thousands of gers were transported thither from parts of the empire. l'o these set t.ers the land along the streams, near the borders of the table land, was given, on nn Na which to grow lowland rice. Then this vast force was put to work to con | struct an immense embankment around | this pasture. It was sixteen feet high and sixteen feet at the base. In order to leave out the rice land along the streams, and to conform also to the serrated edges of the table-lands, it required many curves and windings, For this reason it was fully twice as long as would have been re quired if it could have been a perfect | circle or square. As it was built it was £00 miles in length. It was constructed entirely by manual labor, without the aid of plows, scrapers or carts, The earth was shoveled into hemp sacks or mats, and was then carried swinging on a pole, by two men up on to the embankment This was the work of years, but where labor has little value and the word of the ruler is absolute, anything can be done After this fortified fence was finished, the work of subdividing it into flelds was commenced. The subdivision enbank ments were twelve feet high and 1 feet at the base The whole arpa was surveyed into circles In the center the corral was located Fre the corral triangular fiel veved; each corral and fields were in the form of a wheel corral in the place of the hub, the occupying the spaces between the and the subdivision embank senting the spokes.
