Twenty-five years in Honan . es are plenti-ful, and are used as draught-animals; sheep,goats, pigs and poultry are raised in greatnumbers for food. For five months of the year—unless in larger cities—no fresh meat exceptfowl and pork is procurable. During the restof the year beef and mutton of passable qualitycan be bought. The scene presented in the fields is an ani-mated and pleasing one. Tens of thousands ofmen, women and children can be seen, busyfrom early morning till a late hour at night,attending to the growing crops. But althoughGod is sending them the sun and rain to producethe harvest which is to rejoice their hearts,their tongues do not sing praises to the bounti-ful Giver of all Rainy The rainy season usually comes in Julyand August, and when occasionally it fails tocome, the condition of multitudes is a trulypitiable one. Heavy rain often falls for daysin succession. Gradually the streams and riversbecome swollen. Then all trace of the mainchannel is obliterated and the waters flow over.
