Tho greatest homogeneous nation the world has ever known is now nt wnr, for no other nation known to history could boast of tho 420,000,000 inhabitants that Chincso statisticians nllot to their country. Now that tho . problem is worked out before our eyes wo goo that threc-fonrths of this population is worthless for tho present war. It is quite probable that all tho forces used will be drnwn from tho two or 4l;loo eeueonst provinces. A KcTEcrul draft from tho whole country would bring together men of moro di alects than tho build ng of Babel brought on us. The striking disparity of about eleven to ono. in population between China nud Japan is not the controlling factor. Still, the northern sea coast provinces of China are quite populous enough to BUbtaiu a war with Japan on equal terms. Tho Imperial Govern ment is rich cuongh to enlist a swarm of European ollicevs, arm its troops with tho best weapons andobtaiu sup plies from foreign makers.

As tho country grows older tho Btillyinff of hillsides by heavy rains increases, nnd it soon becomes a ne cessity to keep them in od most of tho time, only reseoding when tho grass prows thin.

It is news to many that hillsides need underdrnining. Thoy nro often very springy, and if deep r.ndcrdrains nro sunk theso hillside springs will furnish a supply of pure water all the year round.

Success iu transplanting depends largely npou kecuiuir tho plnnts moist nnd protecting thorn from llio mys of tho hot sun. which mnv diminish thoir vit.tlitv to such an ex tent that they may never recover. l'or this reason a cloudy day is rrcn crally chosen for transplanting.

Even in this Ohio valley a largo mnjority of tho farmers got nothing but tho grain from the crop. They hold that it in jures tho gruia nnd requires too much labor. This claim is not sustuiuod by modern practice, at least. First, I put into tho silo nil tho corn necessary for my milch cows. It is by nil means tho most economical aud labor-saving method. Jt is so mueh better tlinu any other that I use as mueh ensilage as I can. However, we must havo dry corn for horses nnd tho grain for miirktt must, of course, be harvested dry. I'or this purposo I begin cutting when tho husk is dry. Do not wait uutil tho blades nro dry, for theu tlio fodder is lost. Go through nud muke small shocks of, Bay, six rows wido and twelva long, skipping six rows so tint in i few days when tho small fihock is dry tho ro mainder can bo cut and placed. I use binding twino for tying. No ono will havo moldy cora who follows these di rections. When thoroughly cured I begin to draw in. If tho weather is good I husk into bushel boxes aud draw theso in when full, or if many hands uro used havo a wagon along nil tho timo. Never throw in piles on tho grouud. Tho fodder iii bound up with the twine and drawn in as soon as possible. If dry it bhould bo run through tho cut ter nud elevated to the mown. It oc cupies rnly oiio-h:df the spaoo when cut; Lut f.ir this treatment it must I bo very dry to hoop. If unable to get j it uiy iuouu a biinpiy btow away in bundles.

I Don't givo your horses too much cold water when hot or after a hearty ' meal, espooially when they are tired. 1 If you will remember this advioe it win save mucn uneasiness in your horso and much loss to yourself. When animals are stabled at night a minimum of 1200 cubic feet should bo allowed for each of them.

' Cows giving about six quarts a day, ! three weeks before duo, wero given three doses of thirty grammes each dose, and tho cows became dry in two weeks. Apples do not sweat. Cool apples if plaeod iu a warm room will con douse the moisture of the atmosphere which comes in contact with them, - just as it is condensed on tho outside j of a pitcher of cold water on a warm day. Aud this moisture coutains germs , of decay. I he remedy is to keep thom surrounded with a uniformly cool at mosphere. Never allow a draft of cold air to ' pass through tho hou house for venti lation or for any other purposo. Cold drafts on chickens aro not needed, and work injury to thom by increasing tho demand for food and decreasing tho egg supply. - If a hen houso is too close leave tho south side door open. which will givj veutilutiou sufficient for all purposes.
