THE FARMERS OF SIAM.
RAISING kICTE AND PEPPER IS
THEIR PRINCIPAL OCCUPATION.
All the Ijand is Owned by the King-
Flooded Farms—Methods of Ir
-1 rication—Primitive Implements,
j' Siam, says Frank S. Carpenter in the
American Agriculturist, is a great wedge
at the lower end of the vast peninsula of
Indo-China. It is bounded on the sides
and at the top by the French possessions
of Tonquin and the English principality
of Burmah. These two nations are cast
ing their covetous eyes upon it. It is a
land of some mountains and many val
leys. The mighty Menam River flows
from north to south through it.and the
valley of this is one of the richest agri
cultural regions of the world. Forty
miles from its mouth lies Bangkok, a
town of about 700,000 people, 600,000
of whom live in floating houses fastened
to piles along the banks of the rivers.
These floating houses are found all along
the valley of the Menam, and they line
the rivers of the interior. During tho
rainy season a vast part of the country is
flooded, and the farmers go from one part
of it to another in boats. Many farmers
live in floating-houses, and when their
estates lie along the banks of the river
they can float from one end of their little
plantations to the other by simply loos
ing the bands which bind their houses to
the piles. The country has a system of
laud laws, and though the King really
owns every foot of it, and could confis
cate estates if he would, the farmers have
a certain right of tenure to their lands,
and as long as they pay their taxes they
can buy and sell them and will them to
their children just as they do in other
countries. The taxes constitute the
King's rents, and these are very high.
All land is taxed at ten per cent, of its
value. The crops are taxed, and in fact
everything that vha farmers own must
pay a high rate of taxation. The biggest
tax, however, is that of labor. The big
Farmer-King has the right to call upon
every one of his tenants for three montha
of hard labor during the year, lie dele
gates this right to the governors of his
provinces and the heads of villages, and
the result is that often when the farmers
should be harvesting their own crops
they have to turn in and harvest those ol
the King. The women, consequently,
have to do the greater part of the work,
and the men are little better than slaves.
This three months may bo increased, as
the necessities of the King demand.
The Siamese farmers, like those of all
other Eastern countries, huddle together
in little villages and they go out from
these to work their fields which surround
the towns. The fields are unfenced, and
cattle are herded all the year round. Cat
tle thieves and crop thieves aro numer
ous, and it is only by eternal vigilance
that the farmers are able to save their
crops. The principal Siamese crop is
rice, and rice constitutes the food of the
people. There is no better country in
the world for raising it than Siam. The
lowlands are easily irrigated and tho
rainy season lasts from Alav until Octo
ber. The climate is tropical and the
winters are like our summers. Every
thing grows almost spontaneously, and
two crops a year are not uncommon. The
rice fields are laid off in lots of about
one-third of an acre, each surrounded by
an embankment of earth about a foot and
a half high for the purpose of holding
water when the land is prepared for
planting. The rice is first sprouted in
little patches, and when it is a foot high
it is pulled up, tied into bunches and
taKen to these little fields, which are then
covered with about six inches of water.
It is there transplanted, the men, women
and children bending over and thrusting
the stalks deep into the soft mud under
the water. A good workman can set
out about a third of an acre a day, and
the planting season is any time between
June and October. Tho harvest time
comes along about Christinas, and in
many parts of the country these rich
fields are artificially irrigated,
i The irrigation of Siam increases every
year, and it is chiefly the work of the
Chinese settlers. These Chinese have in
troduced their methods of irrigation,and
there are others which have been in use
from timo immemorial. The ordinary
methods are much the same as those of
Eastern countries. Two women or girls
dip up water in a basket, pitched within
and without to prevent its leaking. They
stand on the higher bank above the caual
and give the basket a swing by four
strings which they have attached to it.
They pull these strings as it dips into the
water and lift from six to eight gallons
to the higher level where it runs otf into
the fields. The system of having small
buckets around a great wheel, which is
turned by a man or a woman walking up
it like the dog on the churn, is also in
use and in some places the old-fashioned
well-sweep is used. Labor is very cheap.
Farm hands get from $1 to $1.50 a week
and board themselves, anil there is, a
great deal of debt labor.
The farming implements of Siam are
of the rudest description. The cultiva
tion of the whole country is done with a
plow that an American farmer would not
use. It consists of a crooked stick with
one handle, and it has a plowshare of
cast iron about as big as a mau's hand.
This plowshare has a little hole in one
end of it in which one end of the crooked
stick is put, and the whole outfit costs
about $1.25. It cuts a furrow of about
two inches deep and five inches wide,
and it is firawn by an ox or buffalo which
is attached to it by a yoke and rope har
ness. When two oxen are used the plow
has a sort of tongue which is fastened to
the yoke on the necks of the team and in
both cases the animals are driven not by
lines but by a sort of rope halter fastened
to a hole in the nose of the ox. The
harrow is equally rudo. It consists of n
long rake with wooden teeth attached to
a bamboo tongue which is fastened ti
the ox's yoke. It has an oval handle
which the woman or man holds am;
upon which she bears down in order tc
break the clods and drive the teeth in
deeper.
One of the most profitable crops is the
pepper crop, and Siam exports about
$200,000 worth of black pepper every
year. The pepper plantations are large
ly managed by Chinese. The berries
grow in racemes, like currants, from a
climbing vine trained like a hop vine
upon trees or tree stumps which have
been cut off high up from the ground*
and good-bearing vines will yield two
good crops a year. Very little cultiva
tion is needed. Cuttings of the vines
about eighteen inches long are buried at
the root of the tree, and as they grow
the vines are trained toward the trunk.
On dry soils it is necessary to water the
plants every other day during the dry
seascns, for the first three years, and at
the age of four or five years the plants
begin to bear. They continue to bear
from seven to fourteen years, and I am
told that the crop is a most profitable
one. The principal crop is harvested in
December and January, and the other
becomes ripe about July or August. The
harvest commences as soon as the berries
begin to turn red and they are collected
at this time and dried for the market. A
good average yield for a plant is two
pounds of pepper per annum.

been at the entrance of some old temple.
When the hotel was demolished many

THE FIRST PATAGONLAN&
ORIGIN OP THH IDEA THAT PATA
GONIA IS A REGION Of GIANTS.
The Spanish Explorer Magellan
Finds Two Gigantic Natives and
Carries Them Off to Spain.
Magellan's first American port was the
Bay of Rio Janeiro, to which he gave
the name of Santa Lucia. It had been
explored by Lopez four years before, and
even before that time. There was one
Portuguese trader settled on an island in
the bay, the pioneer settler of the great
city which stands there to-day. The
whole crew delighted with the lux
uries of the climate and the cordiality of
the simple n«tives. "You can buy six
hens for a king of diamonds," says Paga
fclta, the amusing historian of the voy
age. "They are not Christians, but they
are not idolaters, for they adore nothing;
instinct is their only law." This is his
summary account of tlieir religious habit
and condition, an account proved to be
quite inadequate by more careful inquir
ies. After thirteen days spent in this
bay the squadron resumed its voyage of
discovery.
They looked in at the great estuary of
the river La Plata; but Solis, who had
lost his life there, had already discovered
that this was not a passage to the Pacific.
Btill coasting southward, they sighted
and perhaps landed on the Island of
Penguins and the Island of Sea Lions,
and here were struck by a terrible storm.
Not far from these islands, on the shore
of the continent, they discovered the
Bay of San Julian, and here Magellan
determined to winter.
Magellan made the ships secure at the
shore, built a forge and storehouse, and
some huts for barracks, and established
a little observatory, where Andres San
Martin determined the latitude. Longi
tude in those times, they could not well
determine.
While they were thus occupied, a
little party of natives appeared, and after
some friendly signaling one or more of
them came on board. Magellan directed
a sailor to land, and to imitato every
gesturo of the first who appeared, as a
token of frindship. The man acted his
part so well that the gentle savage was
propitiated, and readily came to an inter
view. On this or auother occasion, six
Indians consented togo on board the
flag-ship. Their Spanish hosts gave them
a kettle full of biscuits—enough for
twenty men, in the Castiliau measure of
appetite. But the hungry Indians de
voured it all. Two, at least, of these
visitors were of unusual size. The Span
iards only came up to their girdles. But,
as the childreh's books say, these were
"friendly giants." One of them saw the
sailors throwing rats overboard, and
begged that he might have them for his
own. Afterward he regularly received
the rats caught on board the ships as a
daily perquisite. Before their voyage
was over, Magellan's sailors were glad
enough to follow his example, and to
place these fellow-voyagers on their bill
of fare at the rate of a ducat apiece.
This party of six—and a party of nino
seen at another time—which may have
included part or all of the first six, are
all of the natives whom Magellan and
his men ever saw. Of these, it seems
certain, that two at least were very large.
All the Indians wore large shoes, which
they stuffed with straw for warmth.
From this custom the Spaniards gave
them the name of Patagons, meaning in
Spanish those who have large feet.
When Magellan was about to sail, he de
termined to carry the two giants homo
as curiosities. It was impossible to over
power either of them in fair contest, and
he resorted to treachery, which can only
be excused on the theory of the Spaniards
at that time that these savages were to
bo ranked among brutes, over whom
Christian men had certain special rights.
The two friendly giants, being about to
leave the ships, Magellan loaded them
with presents, lie gave them knives,
mirrors and glass trinkets, so that their
hands were full, then he offered to each
a chain. They were passionately fond of
iron, but could not take the chains from
very embarrassment of riches. With
their fall consent, therefore, Magellan
bade the smith fasten the chains to their
legs by the manacles which were attached
to them. When it was too late the poor
giants found, as so many wiser men have
found, that they had accepted too many
presents, and that in their very wealth
they were made slaves. When they dis
covered this they were wild with rage,
and vainly called on their god Setcbos
to come to their succor.
Not satisfied with this success, Magel
lan tried to make more captives. He di
rected Dine of his strongest men to com
pel the Indians to take them to the sta
tion where their women were. One of
them escaped, but the other was sub
dued after a hard conflict. He consented
to lead them to the wives of the two
prisoners. When the women heard of
the fate of their lords they uttered such
screams that they were heard at the ships
far away. The Spaniards had such su
periority in numbers that they expected
the next morning to carry the Indian
women and their children on board ship.
But meanwhile two Indian men came,
who spent the night with them, and at
daybreak the whole party escaptd to
gether. In their flight they killed one of
the Spaniards with a poisoned arrow.
Magellan sent a large party on shore and
buried him.
A.nd so they parted—the Spaniards and
the Patagonians. The two giants were
separated; one was placed on the Trin
d*d, and the other on the Sant' Antonio.
It was from these experiences that
Europe took the notion, which is, per.,
baps, not yet fully dispelled, that Pata
gonia was a region of gianta.—Harper's
ilcmazine.
