JAPAN AND THE JAPANESE. Thirty-Two Important Fjm ts About These IntcreftiiiiK People. Japan has nearly 50,00l(,000 people, more than tin If as many as me Uoltad States. The word "Mikado" signifies something like "the Sacred Gate" or "the Sublime Forte." The name of the reigning mikado Ir Mutso Slto. The name of the enip?ess is O Ham? "spring." The name of th# orown prince Is Yoshi HI to. Kuropean dress Is worn at all court funclions. Rice is the common food of tba common people, Sixteen cents a day Is now good pay for unskilled labor in Japan. Ten years atjo It was C cents. Japan has very few millionaires and practically no multl-mllllonaires. Tokio is a hundred years older than St. Petersburg. The lovely Japanese cherry trees produce no cherries. Oo the Japanese stage male actors play the foninle roleR. There is only oue Japanese actress?Mme, Sada Yacco. Danijlro the great Japanese tragedian, Is also the most bkUful dancer of Japan. Japanese dead are burled lu a squatting posture, chin upon knees. More than 10,000 pilgrims, male and female, ascend Fujiyama every year. The Japanese people, even the poor, travel much In their own country. Modern Japanese coins and banknotes bear legends lu English as well as In Japanese. Seml-uudity Is common In rural Japan, and furthermore It Is respectable and healthful. The average Japanese Is better bathed than the average Hn Usher. Wrinkles are poetically termed by the Japanese "waves of old age." It is quite proper, even complimentary to a*k a lady's age in Japan. The Japanese "Hello!" at the telephone is "Mosbl! moebi!" or "Auo me" with the accent on the "nay." The Japanese farewell, "Sayonara," means something like "If tt must be so," or "If we must part thus, so be II." Kissing and shaking bands are rarely practiced In Japan. Japanese mothers do not kiss their children, though tne.v inay press the Hp to the lorihesd or cheek of a very young baby. Sewing on buttons is not a wifely du'y In Japan?there are no buttons i apanose InnR furnish fresh tooth-brushes every morning Irea to every guest. The 'iru>-h is of wood, shaped like a pencil, and treyed to a tufty brush or fibre at the large i-nd All' f t he food served to h guest at a Japanese b mquet aud not consumed by him at the tune is taken to his home by the servants of hi- host.

C., May 19.?China will put in opposition to Chinese exclusion Its boycott of American goods. This whs announced officially today by the Chinese legation here. Asked what was meant by the action of unina in anciciing not 10 purcnase American goods, tbe Chinese minister said : ' It means business. China will not buy a yard ol American goods while America violates her treaty obligations by excluding or deporting Chinese." Tbe Chinese diplomat" explained that the treaty ot ISO* between China and America gave full ireedom of lutercourse. Chlueae, under the treaty, could come to America, and America could trade with China. Ttue treaty was tnoditied by the treaty ol 18S0, wh ich provided that the United State*) and China might make au agreement excluding Chinese laborers. This was done in 185)4 by a treaty limited to 10 years, which treaty expired last year. The expiration of 'this treaty, the Chinese diplomat asserts, places the two countries In the position In which they were placed by tbe treaty ol lStil). Kvery Chinaman excluded or deported is excluded or deported in violation of the treaty obligations ol the I'nited States to Chiua. The only way in ?hich there can be no such txclusion, the Chinese hold, Is by a treaty provided lor It. No such treaty Is uow In force. Among other Interests which will sufl'er severely from the boycott are the cotton growers and millers of the South, China being a large consumer ol American cotton and cottou goods.

M Sowing; Oats in the open Farrow. J. H. Green, Franklin, N. C., makes the following inquiry: "I am a leader of The Progressive Farmer and enjoy your letters. Will you please describe fully how oats are * i? * .. J o nri..i ui?j sH 8UWU 1U IUC UfJCU lUIIUWi TV UUt &1UU of plow is used? I wieh to try it next 'Sk fall." Now, Mr. Green lives in the northern part of the state. Winters must ".'3 be pretty cold, with snows and heavy freezes. But he will find no difficulty in carrying the Red Bust Proof oats or the Appier, which is an improvement ; on the Bed, through the severest winters. These are the oats to plant If a heavy yield is desired. Prepare the land in October, or better in September, if there is no growing crop on it. Subsoil and harrow. Now in subsoiling do not break more than two or three inches of the clay at one time. In this country the Gantt oat drill and fertilizer distributor is used. It is made like a guano distributor, except that the hopper has a division in the . middle. The fertilizer is placed in the front hopper and the oate in the other. There are two slots with two levers to regulate the output of fertilizer and oats. I generally use a small shovel plow, 5 inches wide, because I have been planting thin land to improve it. The rows are 12" to 14 inches apart. With a eix-inch shovel the rows would be wider. Always run the rows so ' that the dirt from the plow will not nil up tut? preueuiug iurruw. rireo the fertilizer drops immediately behind the plow and the dirt falling back covers it about an inch. Then the oats drop down and the two little iron covers follow and throw an inch Jlffl or two of dirt on the oats. A : lively ;?|g band will plant two or two and a half acres daily as soon as he learns how to manipulate the machine, which is v|3 not more difficult than a cotton planter. Oats should be planted in October if possible. If not they wiil come on all right in November. Many of our farmer^ had given up the Red Rust Proof oats because they were ten- //??$ der and easily killed. There was an intensely dry oold spell, January 25 to 29. That changed the color of the oats . vgf somewhat, but did not kill them. Then came the snow and ice of Feb- ? ruary when the ground was.frozen two weeks. They came out of that all right looking green and luxuriant. M Not a single lot planted in the open furrow has been killed. Rotation. While the revival spirit is working , ^ amongst the cotton farmers, they need / wiQft misflionariefl to vet, thfiin in right way and keep them there. Many of them have an idea thit, if by eomesortof conventions, resolutions and threats, cotton can be brought up to 10 cents this fall tbev will be aft right. That is building on the sand,' with probable storms any year. Let us all get right, as the preachers say, before we start. There should be a well laid plan with these objects in view. The deepening and improvement of the soil which will increase ; the yield should be the first aim. Beet implements suited to the land and crops should be bought. After this the chief aim should be to raise all home supplies possible. One of these days thrifty, wise farmers in the Piedmont belt will buy nothing but sugar, coffee, salt and such condiments and luxuries as they cannot raise. Here comes the necessity for a judicious ro- ' }:jm tation of crops. This suggestion is made for a rotationjthat will improve the land: Corn and peas, followed by peas sown or planted. Then plant in cotton the third year. After the cotton begin witn tne corn ana peas again., mm is a good three years' plan. The soil must be deepened until it Is 10 to 15 inches deep. Suppose a two-horse farmer has 60 acre9l of arable land. That will give him 20 acres in small grain, 20 in corn and peas and 20 in uotton. You see how fast the land will improve with. 40 acres in peaa each year, provided the stu )ble and corn land are sown and planted in peas. ?ii 0 mm BaoebalL The small boys' baseball team of this place played the Due West Junirso last Friday on the Due West diamond, and were defeated by a score of 18 to 8.
