BEAUTY OF BEER LIcENsE.-The
Democrats Pella correspondent, IN
his letter to that paper this week,
says:
We would advise all persons living
in temperance towns, and can't get
along very well without something
to take.n not to come to this place to
get drunk. It's the wrong place for
that entirely. The marshal nabs this
kind Of hairpins every time, and that's
the way the city of Pella replenishes
her treasury, from the round fines
these rural individuals have to pay.
And this shows the beauty oe the
license system. It's advocates urge,
as the strongest argument i'm its favor,
that IT will bring revenue into the
Golfers Of the city and enable us to
carry on the city government without
paying heavy taxes. And is this the
way they propose to Tighten their tax
burden? Place temptation in the
way Of the weak, induce them to
drink, and then collect Ground fines"
from "these rural individuals ?'
Yhis looks to us like saying to farmers
and their sons:
Come to town, and we will sell you
all the beer you want. We have
licensed men to accommodate you by
gratifying your appetites. It is all
right; drink and be merry. We are
in favor Of personal liberty';you have
a right to drins rs fnHeh ~ YEN please;
the law upholds us in selling and Yea
In drinking"
Then when these rural individu-
ais have been tempted to immoder-
ate indulgence-have been made
drunk-the marshal "nabs this kind
of hair-pins," and leads them before
the Mayors court, where they are
forced to pay "round fines to replen-
ish the city treasury or, If they have
not the cash to pay they must 60 into
the calaboose to stay until their friends
come and pay their fines and costs.
Do you see the beauty of the system :?
Do we want such a system organized
in Knoxville?

THE TEMPERANCE MEETING ut the
U. p. church, last Monday evening,
official proceedings of which appear
herewith, was attended by an audience
Of about fifty citizens, ladies and gen.
tlemen, including a number of our
prominent business men, ministers,
and laymen OF the various churches.
1t was an earnest meeting, aud gave
marked token of the interest mani
tested in the important business In
hand. Its object WAS to take active
measures to developa protest by re-
monstrance to be signed by citizens
against the adoption by the City
Council of an ordinance providing
for the issue of license for the sale of
wine and beer in the city.
Such in ordinance was presented to
the Council last week by alderman
Porter, of 3d ward, who stated that IL
had been handed to him for presenta-
tion and action. 1t was laid on the
table and will come up for final action
mt the regular session, June 7th.
As will he seen by reference to the
proceedings, a foundation was laid, by
instructions to committee, for per-
manent temperance organization.
This is a movement i'm the right direc-
ton, aud we doubt not will be strongly
sustained, as our temperance people
are at last Becoming aroused to just
appreciation Of the necessity fov united
and watchful effort against the threat
ening evil'of intemperance. Our citi-
Gems will within few days all be
called upon by committees and re-
quested to sign u written remonstyance
to go before, the City Council and we
hope to see the document signed by
such large majority as to, convince
any who May be in doubt on the mat
Ter that Knoxville wants no beer
saloons.
The friends of license are. boastipg
that three Of the six aldermen will
favor license ordinance. and that In
case of a tie In the Council the
Mayor will give the casting vote la
their favor.
These is indeed cause for alarm,
and the anti-lieense element in our
city shOuld be on, the alert.

Oats as Horse Feed.

1t is very general belief among our
people that for horses or mules required
to do farm work. no food is as nutri-
tive as corn, and that it is impossible to
"keep mp the stock" on any other kind
of grain. This Is a great mistake, how
ever. I am satisfied from a long and
careful experience In the management
OF draft animals, that good, sound oats
are by far the most nourishing and
wholesome food for eithe, horses or
mules on q plantation, for the reason
that they are more easy of digestion,
are less liable to sour, are more easily
assimilated than corn in any shape.
For instance, I never sew a mule
or horse fed on good, clean oats trou-
bled with collie or fatulency. I allude
only to good, clean oats. IF they are
musty or mouldy they are the worst
possible food, and will produce the
worst result ; but if they are sound and
about four or five months old, I am pos
tive that no other food is as good or
possesses the combination of healthfnl
and nutritive qualities as they do, no
matter what the work which the animals
ara required to do.
A horse or mule doing very hard
work may be allowed to eat as much as
he will without injury. He should have
just little good hay or fodder in addi-
zion. For an animal doing light work a
less quantity may be given, and good
condition will be kept up if they are
ground coarsely and mixed with chop
ped food and sprinkled with little salt
and water.
Corn Is the most expensive stock food
that we can possibly use. Oats are
cheapest and most easily raised. Even
were corn as wholesome food as oats,
the latter are preferable in an econom-
ical point of view. Bat were the cost
both equal, I should prefer the oats as
the more conducive TO the health and
serviceability of the stock.-Farn1 and

Curing meat.

Once a year Sc since Adam was a year
ling" or less tTihe perhaps, the veter-
an editor of the Germantown Tele-
graph has told his readers how TO cure
meat. AS no one yet seems to improve
upon the method, we viii for the-sav,
fifteenth time repeat it "To one gal
Ion of water take one pound and a half
of salt, one-half pound of sugar, one
half ounce of saltpetre and one-half
ounce of potash. In this ratio the
pickle can be increased to auv quantity
desired. Let these be boiled together
until all the dirt from the sugar rises to
the top and is SKINNED off Then throw
it into tub to cool, and when cold pour
1T oven your beef OF pork. The meat
must he we'll covered with pickle, and
should not be put down for at least two
days after killing, during which time IL
should be slightly sprinkIed with pow-
dered saltpetre, which removes all the
surface blood, ETC., leaving the meat
fresh and clean. Some omit boiling the
pickle. aud find it to answer we'll,
though the operation of boiling purifies
the pickle by throwing off the dirt al
ways to be found in salt and sugar. IF
this receipt is strictly followed, it will
require not only a single trial TO prove
its superiority over the common way or
moist ways of putting down meat.

renewal Of the posts. This method, if
once adopted, win be of almost incalcu-
liable benefit to many prairie farmers.
Ny plan is this, get a cylinder say of
No. II iron, not less, and from fifteen
to eighteen inches in diameter, and
long enough TO insure the immersion of
posts to a proper depth, say three and
a'half feet, have a east iron bottom riv-
eted on, and all is ready it is much
the best to have the posts seasoned a
year, for otherwise the sap boiling out as
the tar fills tine pores Of the wood makes
a renewal of the tar necessary oftener
than if dry.-&. S. w IN Rural World.

A correspondent of the Massachusetts
" Ploughman gives the following
I made the best compost during the
last season for the growing of turnips,
that have ever found in the world,
by using the following articles Half
decayed bones, bones that have long been
packed in q heap, heated and half-rot-
ted coming from glue factory, fortu-
nately fell into my hands. They were
almost in state of decomposition when
/ took them. They had grown soft
from the enormous heat in which they
lay and we're all ready under the appli-
cation either of acids or alkalies to dis
solve themselves. I found I could not
furnish myself with hone material at a
very moderate cost, / applied it in the
following manner / took about twice
the amount of bone material in barn
yard manure, and about the same
amount in sandy loan, mixed the three
together and covered the entire heap
with a mass of compact loan. The
one heap that made contained ton
of this bone material. I said to myself
s. have no doUot that the heating of
the manure packed IN this way, with
the little moisture on the outside that
would filter Through, would dissolve
the bones entirely; and it did, and in
less than q months time I found NY
self possessed of friable mass of barn
yard manure, disintegrated bones, and
the muck that went along with them.
1 used that as an application to the
growing of Swedish turnipe, and used
1T as had been in the habit of using
the best superphosphates I could fiLd
IN the market. 1 never had so good a
crOD,
