/ hydrophobia, fosters an absurd appre.

acts as this, which should bring exem-

fate of the so-called physician"
Mr.. j. J. Mech, the famous Eng
lish agriculturist and owner of the
Tiptree Hall estate, where every new
agricultural project is tried, and every
agricultural implement is expert
mented with, writes as follows to the
London Times under date Of June
18th, in reference to the harvest in
England: "Last year there was ru-
inOus deficiency of meat making pro-
ducts. The twenty-five and a half
million acres of permanent pasture
(One-half the agricultural area OF the
United KingdOm) yielded wretched-
ly deficient crop, and caused heavy
national loss, while nearly ten million
acres of root and green crops and ar
tificial grasses fell sadly short of an
average crop. Hence our small sup
ply and high price of home grown
meat. The large area Of cottage and
general garden was also very deficient
in yield. This year all this IS re
versed, and we are blessed with the
promise of abundant grass and other
vegetable products, which must have
a happy influence on the quantity and
price of home grown meat, milk, but
ter, cheese and vegetables. SuppoSing
that we lose a tritie on our wheat area,
between three and four million acres,
great will be our gain on the forty
million acres of other products" IL
is stated that the harvest viii com
mence in the early districts about Au-
gust 1st, and will become general to-
wards August 10th.
"A CHIEF result Of the Women's
Convention at Saratoga is the platform
adopted. Itdeclares that the question
of woman's suffrage is a great moral
and political question; that the right
of every human being to share in the
under which he or she
lives, should be recognized by that
government; that we claim for woman
the Inherent right of suffrage, as hui
man being, and deny the right OF
man to define her sphere, and en-
phatieally deny the right of one sex to
define the rights and duties of another
sex. We gladly recognize the action
of the Irish Republican National Con-
ventiOns at Washington and Chicago,
and rejoice at the course of the MethO-
dist Episcopal Church, in admitting
women to vote on lay delegation. We
demand an amendment to the COnsti-
tuition of the United States, to secure
the right Of female suffrage, and unite
the cooperation of every man and
woman, Irrespective of creed, color or
nationality, in securing such an
amendment.
