LEARNED. —It has occurred to me that some might be interested in hearing how people tra el in Japan; and a short arecottint of a visit which Imade to the shrines of Ise last year will give ap opportunity of describing all the methods of travel which are in use in this part of Japan. Ise is the name of a province about 70 miles from Kioto, an the •east coast of Japan, and the most famous Shinto shrines in the country are situated 'there, and draw great crowds of pilgrims every spring. I spent a part of one vacation in a trip there. In starting out on such a journey the first essential is a pass, without which the foreignet isnot allow- ed Ito go more than 20 miles from one of the five treaty ports. Such a pass must he obtained through the United States Minister in Tokio, and therefore the would-be traveler in this part of the country must make his plans beforehand.,! have as much rice and l tea as yo I went first by rail to the toesia at the but if you want more of anyt foot of Lake Bina.

There are three grades, as in England, and the fares are five, three, and one and a half cents a mile respectively. The seats in the third-class are plain boards ; in the second and first they are upholstered The seemed and third are not warmed at all in winter, but they are apt to be warm enough in summer. Most of the second-class cars have a seat all nouod the four sides, except where it is inter- rupted by the doors—one on 'each side,; so that most of the passengers ride side- ways. In the third-class cars the seats go across the car, and half face in each direction, so that half the passengers ride - backwards. The gauge is somewhat narrow, and one seat will accommodate four people. The seats are arranged in couples, facing each ether, with a door between them on eaCh sideilof the car. • contract with some less fortunate com- panion to .de the. work at the eottorn market price, and will himeelf pocket the difference as a remuneration for his skill in making a* bargain.

I believe the land is capable of producing crops for all time to come if treated fairly. MODE OF 'FEEDING. Here I wish to describe my mode of feeding and preparing stock for market. I will be long for I will send. them off at 12 or 13 months old. We try to have the calves dropped in 'March and April ; we feed sweet milk, which we get by using the creamery cans ; we give a little .meal, or shorts dry,, during the summer, and occasionally • a little flax -seed meal, which must be used with moderation on account of its loosening properties. We house the calves 'early before the cold nights corpulence and' by so doing save the annoyance of seeing humped backs beside the fence. At . this time the milk stops and we begin the winter process. We feed along moderately on cut feed and a little meal and a good - supply of roots until February, when we increase the meal a little, until April, and from this out we feed all they will take, until the begining of May at which time we can sell them weighing from 600 to 850 pounds each at :11 cents per pound, according to age and breeding, for breeding tells here as elsewhere. I have done this for ten years and I think it equal to keeping over again and sell- ing as stockers at 3i cent e per pound. As the percentage of farmers is small that have adopted the foregoing plan, I will try and give another way by which cattle raising may be carried on in a profitable manner. The calves can be fed all through the winter, as I have recommended to be done during -the early part of the winter, in which case they will be in good growing condition when turned t� pastureaand if given good pasture all summer and fed on cut feed mixed ; with a small quantity of meal and a few roots, during the second winter there will be no difficulty in having them'weigh 1,100 pounds at two years old. They can then be ;sold for 31 cents per lb or $41.25 each which will pay for raising. As there are two ways of doing al- most everything, there are also two ways of wintering cattle. , The -first way I shall mention is the way you can see any day youdrivethrough the country. Cattle are bought in , the fall and put -around straw stacks, where they will lose about 200 lbs. in *eight during our six months' Canadian winter.' We will see how this plan will pay. Steers weighing 1,200 lbs. in the fall, at a cost of 2t cents per lb., would be $30.; to winter on straw -stack would cost $1.25 per month; this, will make the steer cost $37.50, or cents per lb.. This class of cattle is what is spoiling our cattle trade; they have to run on the pasture until winter•to become fat, and then be sold at a small price, causing a loss to every man who handles them. The other way, arid it is the way I consider the right way, is to take the same cat- tle, weighing 1,200 Itis.,at the same cost, .put them iato comfortable stables and keep them in good growing -condition all winter, and, they will gain a little, say about 25 tbs., which will make them 1,225 lbs., which is worth more per pound. than the poor cattle; but, we will figure on the same price, 3i cents per lb., which will be about $46. Now, in the spring they will cost ,$8.50 each more than the poor cattle, for which you have' 225 lbs. of beef—not bones, and these cattle will weigh 1,400 lbsatwo months earlier than the poor ones, which means at least 1 cent per /b. on the price, or -$14, besides pasture for two months, which is worth $3.00 or $17.00 leaving a profit of $8.50 each without taking into account the interest on capital, invested far two months longer tithe. What I have etated Can be done by wintering as I do. I put the cattle in- to warm (not hot) stables, feed on cut feed, two parts straw and one part hay, and a few roots. I mix in a little bran and shorts or meal dry, then wet in a heap 'and let it ferment a little, as the cattle relish the fermented foo si better and they will eat more and do better than on fresh mixed for ea& feed. We feed roots once a day, ater the noon feed, then the cattle lie down comfort- ably and contented. . We let our cattle out once every day in the forenoon to get water and exercise, for if you want cattle to do well for you, and well for the summer feeder also, you must give plenty of out door exercise to .keep the appetite sharp and the muscles full and strong and 'to keep them in right shape for thespasture. The stables must be kept clean and well ventilated to prevent bad oders, for the cattle beast requires cleanliness equal to the horse. We also try to keep an even temperature, there- by avoiding sudden changes which affects the appetites of cattle. We feed sulphur once a week to keep the blood cool. Sometimes we are troubled with lice when we clip off the long hair along the back and neck and apply lard and coal oil, in, ratio of 1 part oil to 2 parts lard. We ; find this will clean them every time. Cattle that are not let out can be kept Clean by dusting them with dry ashes. , Ifoneshould bloat I would , give soda :and keep thel head in an elevated position to allow the gas to pass off. Lastly, in the earwig stock the utmost possible quiet should! prevail. All, noise, such.as shouting and halloo- ing, should not be allowed within sound of the cattle. The cattle man must be of a good even temper, not easily riled, and then you will get the best possible results from the feed given.
