In tho agricultural sections of Ilia
entire Yangtso Valley there Is prac
tically uo use whatever for foreign
agricultural Implements. The Chinese
laborers In tho rice and cotton Holds,
In tho mulberry groves and In the gar
dens llnd tho Chinese Implements of
greater utility than any of the foreign
and adhere to them. Tho Chinese hoe,
which contains a much greater weight
of metal than tho foreign one, being
practically a mattock, Is, according
to their Ideas, more serviceable in this
heavy soil than tho foreign Imple
ment. All the ordinary hand implements of
(agriculture are shaped and constructed
according to Chinese taste. Agrleul
tural machinery Is not used In this see
'tlon, even the plow being a great rar
ity. The Chinese turn over the ground
usually with their mattocks. It Is har
rowed in a primitive way and when
tho crop Is gathered hand labor does
all tho work.
Under these conditions it is not
strange that tho Importing linns of
Shanghai do not consider it worth
while to carry a line of agrlcutural Im
plements. It Is dllileult oven to obtain
a foreign Implement for use In the gar
den of a foreigner in Shanghai. This
is the present condition and to all ap
pearances It bids fair to continue for
an indellultc period. In tho north, and
especially In Manchuria, some agricul
tural implements aro being used, but
these are rather the result of Russian
Introduction than of Chinese desire.
Q'he statement was made recently in
one of tho northern papers that tho
Introduction of modern agricultural im
plements seemed practically as far off

Two very great swells, one a young

the viscount, too quick for tho duke,
smiled and replied: "Yes, thank you,

about getting recognized to call up a

A babu In charge of the documents
of a certain town In India found that
they were being seriously damaged by
rats. Ho wrote to tho government to
provide him with weekly rations for
two cats to destroy the rats. The re
quest was granted, and tho two eats
wero installed one, tho larger of the
two, receiving slightly hotter rations
than the other. All went well for a
few weeks, when tho supremo govern
ment of India received the following
dispatch: "I have the honor to Inform
you that tho senior cat is absent with
out leave. What shall I do?" Tho prob
lem seemed to batllo tho supreme gov
ernment, for the babu received no an
swer. After waiting a few days, he
sent oil' n proposal : "In re Absentee
Cat. 1 propose to promote the Junior

on full rations."
CULTIVATION OF RHUBARB.
riant In One of the Moat Healthful
Knlly Grown,
IMiubarb, or pie plant, as It Is com
monly known, Is ono of tho most
healthful, ono of tho most easily grown
and one of tho most valuable of garden
vegetables, according to tho Rural
Farmer. It is of such importance and
real valuo thut It ought to bo more gen
erally grown. A good thing, so easily
got, so easily grown, ought not to bo
so infrequently found and used in our
farm and even our city homes. There
are a great many valuable and whole
somo vegetables, but rhubarb always
stands without an equal In Us class. It
Is one of the earliest vegetables of
springtime. It3 strong, vigorous leaf
stalks, so crisp and brittle, push them
selves from tho cold ground Into suu
shlno and air. Tho whole plant re
flects of Inborn strength, vigor and
freshness. Its uses ure many and It
can be prepared easily for tablo use.
There la nothing like rhubarb pie or
StarlCt
sauco It: tho early spring months.
There- are but few things with tho
same tartness or acidity, wholesome
iioss and palatablllty, as has ruhbarb.
A small bit of ground Is lnrge enough
to grow enough plants ten to twenty
--for an ordinary family. Most city
homes and at least all farmers have
some small plot or corner of ground,
perchance luioccupled or In weeds,
which might well bo planted to k'hu
barb. A good, moist, deep loam, thor
oughly enriched with well-rotted barn
yard manure, Is an ideal soil for rhu
barb. The plants may bo grown from
ti'cd, but "roots" or crowns are usual
ly used. Seed should be sown in early
Hprlng, say in April. The second sea
son's growth usually furnishes some
stalks large enough for use. An ounce
of seed will sow from 100 to lc."5 feet
of rows. In about eight weeks after
sowing the plants should be thinned
to about eight Inches. The following
spring they should be transplanted to
their permanent places, setting them
throe or four feet apart In rows, that
aro four feet apart.
Cultivate throughout tho season and
give the ground a covering of a good
barnyard manure in tho fall. Tho
leaves can bo pulled until the first of
June or July, depending upon your
wants and needs, and upon market de
mands to a degree. Hut pulling should
cease early enough so that the plants
will be able to make a good growth be
fore fall. Unless seed Is desired,
which Is rarely the case, cut tho flower
stoelcs as they appear. Tho original
pluuts will last for a number of years,
but It Is best to divide the crown and
make a new setting about every tlfth
year.
Tho full value and utility of rhu
barb has not been fully realized until
lu recent years, when it bus been
forced. Hut few of our common veg
etables are so well adapted for forcing.
P.ocause of tho marked ense of forcing,
we can secure this vegetable in a mora
attractive and equally valuable for
midwinter or later than we can from
outdoor planting. The forced product
Is of the highest quality, it can bo
forced in light or darkness. It is not
exacting as regards a deflnlto degreo
of temperature, which may vary from
15 to 70 degrees. The lower tempera
tures .are best, producing stalks more
cvrlsp and with less acid. Rhubarb
can bo forced in a cellar, In a box,
even in the kitchen or in well or poorly
constructed forcing houses. It is per
haps most conunouly forced in low,,
double spanned, roughly and cheaply
constructed houses. An excavation two)
to three feet deep may bo made and
arched over with a roof of hoards or
logs, covered witii hay, straw or tod
dor, and tho dirt of the excavation
thrown over the entire roof. No par
ticular facilities are necessary for ven
tilation. Unless In a severely cold win
tor, the house can be heated by use of
ordinary heating stove. In moro ex
pensive houses, and In case of extreino
cold, a system of hot water or steam
heating would undoubtedly bo udvis
able. AVonlth of I.tihruilor.
