1t cannot be doubted that Eoht ex-
erclses very important influence upon
ANIMALS as well as upon vegetable econ
omy. Every ones feelings bear wit
ness to the stimulus afforded by an
agency; dark day or dark room in
duces lassitude and repose, which is
quickly dissipated by the bright sun
shine. Many diseases are much more
virulent in shaded situations, and the
eye especially cannot long retain its
full power if deprived of light. From
mistaken notions on this subject, or
from false economy, it is a general
practice to exclude light from the sta
bles of horses and other animals. 1t
is supposed by many that they thrive
best in the dark. Where the animal
is stabbed for a brief period of rest,
darkness will undoubtedly favor his re-
pose. In the season when flies are
troublesome, it also may be we'll to
darken the stable to exclude them. but
when animals are stabbed permanently
in darkness, they cannot but suffer in
various ways. The horse, especially,
is very much subject to diseases of the
eye, and there can be but little doubt
that this tendency is increased by con-
fining him permanently where the eye,
in waking hours, is strained to an un-
natural position to perceive objects
around him. Horse jockeys find an
advantage in the use of such stables.
The animal being brought into the
glare of day is confused and startled,
and by his high stepping and half un-
certain manner, impresses novice
with an idea of his spirit and action.
Even if the quiet induced by darkness
may favor increase of fat, it is not con-
ducive to muscular strength. Muscles
deprived of the stimulus of light be-
come faced, and the apparently high
condition induced by this means is
soon lost by active exertion. Men
whose enioyments confine them in too
poorly lighted apartments soon lose
the color and the energy of full health,
and the same results follow similar
treatment Of animals.
Besides this, a dark stable will sell
dom be kept in that clearly condition
which favors full health. The "cor-
ners'' will be neglected, especially if
the care of animals be entrusted to the
helps" who are usually content if the
stable looks nice. When building sta
bles, ample provision for light will
cost but little more than imperfect fix
lures, and in the end will be found
more profitable Maine Far.

Mr.. EDIToR:-l notice In your last
issue, an article signed by my wife, Amelia G.
Hotchkiss, setting forth that I put her out of my
house without cause or provocation, and cautions
persons not to believe any thing that l may say
about her, and also, that she has took in sewing
and paid more for bread than have for the last
year. Now in reply to the foregoing have to
say, first that never put her out of my house,
this can prove at any time by good witnesses, and
also. BY her own admissions at least three times
since we parted. Second. that she has never paid
for any bread used in my house since the first of
January, 1889. Now can prove that her state
ment in this particular is untrue. / can prove by
John Emmons and James Emmons, that have
bought wheat from both of them the last year.
paid John En,mons cash for the wheat bought of
him. and paid John Emmons in wheat since harvest

1860, and that have been trusted in Dowagiac for

The subscriber in presenting to the public the
above list of Fruit Trees and Shrubs would saw
that they were selected by himself and having
been grown on land of moderate fertility have made
fair growths of we'll ripened wood thus enabling
them to withstand the sudden changes of our win.
tiers. Especially has this been the in regard to
Peaches, the selections consisting mostly of those
kinds which in the orchard of the subscriber have
passed through the last four five severe winters
with but slight damage The almost total failure
of the Bigearean Sweet Cherries when grown
on Free or Mazzard stocks, have induced the SUBJ
scriber to purchase largely of Sweet Cherries
budded on the Mahalet or Dwarf Cherry. The eff
feet of using this stock is that the growth of the
tree is checked, the wood rendered hardy, and the
tree brought into bearing the second or third year
after planting. The subscriber has also limited
number of the Early Richmond. This is without
doubt the most reliable Cherry for cultivation at
the West as it has not failed to mature a crop in
this vicinity for the past fifteen years
The demand for Pear Trees both Standard and
Dwarf has led the subscriber to furnish himself
with those kinds noted for being hardy and pro-
ductive. Also, a few of the best varieties of
Pums have been selected, consisting of those kinds
least liable to the attacks of the Curculio.

LIQUOR IsspEcrroS.-MR. Ep1roR

LIQUOR INsPECTIoN.-MR. EDITOR:
The Legislature last winter passed law "to
prevent the adulteraton of alcoholic liquors. and
to punish all persons who shall sell or offer to sell
adulterated liquors and other beverages and pro-
vidipg for the appointment Of competent person,
by the Judge of Probate of each county in the
State whose duty 1T shall be to examine all liquors
offered for sale within his jurisdiction, in a careful
and thorough manner, and making it incumbent on
him, when he shall find any adultcrated alcoholic
liquors wines en- the possession of any person
engaged in the sale of alcoholic and other beve-
RACES he shall give notice of the fact to the prose-
cutting attorney, "who shall try the vendor Of
adulterated liquors before the Recorder or Judge
of Probate" and if he is found guilty "the lnspec-
tor shall forthwith destroy such adulteraed liquors
and wines, and the person Sc found guilty shall be
punished by fine and Imprisonment in any sum not
exceeding five hundred dollars or less than one
hundred dollars, and shall be imprisoned in the
jail of the county not more than thirty nor less
than ten days" Now there are in this village two
taverns that sell liquor, hole in the WALL in
the rear of Drug Store, where "blue ruin is
sold by the glass, pint and gallon, from forty
rod whisky at sl.25 cts. per gallon to "instant
death at 25 cts, and three, and perhaps more,
saloons, where it is openly dispensed, and yet we
will venture to assert that in no case can the In
spector's brand be found upon the casks of either
of these sellers nor have we as yet heard of
single conviction under the law, and it seems if
the execution of it is treated mere farce.
What is the reason for this neglect of duty, and
where does the responsibility rest? The law says
the Inspector shall analyze all alcoholic liquors
offered for sale, and when he finds persons selling
impure liquors, he shall report them to the Prose-
cutting Attorney The law thus giving him no
discretion, out says he shall do this. Has the
Inspector for this County done this. If he has not
done SO, the Law in his hands in utterly useless.
and he in not acting is of 10 the public and
should be removed at once, and some one who v;,,
see the provisions of the law carried out. without
fear or favor from any one appointed in his stead
Such law properly enforced would be advanta-
geous to the honorable vendors Of liquors, as well
as just terror to the men who put "pcison in the
cup in literal sense. j.
