A New England Cure for mtemperance.

There are great many Incorporate
persons who would like to become tenn
perate; but the over-ruling love of the
taste of liquors conquers all their good
resolutions, and again and again they
fall.
Many years ago there lived in New
England large family of children, the
mother of whom, when any sickness
occurred, obliged the invalid to swal-
low dose of castor oil in port wine
wine was never used for any other pur-
pose in that family; and the bottle
labelled port wine was horror to each
child.
The family grew and separated, 60

Some Things That Science Does Not
Teach.

In scalding a hog, does science teach
that if the water is little too hot the
hair will not slip, that it is set, and
must be shaved off with knife? Every
farmer should know these things and
they must be taught. Do any of the
graduates of any agricultural school
know that in building stack of grain
or hay, it must be kept fullest in the
middle, and well trod down? Do they
know how to tie up and shock wheatp
Do they know how to whet scythe?
Do they know that if the blade is
whetted up and down it will not cut off
the straw clean, as it should be whetted
from the heel to the point? Do they
know how to lengthen or shorten the
pillow gear so that the plow will not cut
too deep or shallow? Do they know
how to put up rail fence so that some
of the rails will not project at the corners
to snag the stock? Do they know how
to put up stone fence so it will stand,
and that the long rocks ought to be put
crosswise the fence to act as braces,
and if this is done it will not tumble by
settlingP Do they know how to square
house? Science teaches them that
the hypothenuse of Alright angle triangle
is equal to the square of the two sides,
but they have never seen the applica-
ton of this rule, thus they build house
pointing every way but the right way.
Experience teaches us that with a ten
foot pole house can be squared in five
minutes. We measure eight feet on one
sill and make notch, six feet on the
other sill and make a notch. IF the
ten-foot pole just reaches from notch to
notch that corner is square, the other
three corners treated in the same way
will be square, and also house & Old

Drink, But Remember!

If you think it is your duty to drink
Intoxicating liquors, by all means do so.
On no account violate your conscien-
tious convictions, but while you raise
the cup to your lips, remember that
this draught represents the bread of
some starving brother; for the food of
at least six million persons is grasped
by the malster and distiller, and its
nourishment destroyed.
Remember that so long as you are in
health these liquors are unnecessary;
two thousand medical men have as
serted it, and hundreds of thousands of
teetotalers prove it.
Remember that most persons who act
as you do ruin their health and shorten
their lives by so doing.
Remember that not drunkenness
alone, but drinking, fills our jails and
penitentiaries, our poor-houses and our
lunatic asylums; employs our Coroners
and our hangmen, and works mischief
incalculable on all ranks and both sexes,
of which no human institution takes
cognizance.
Remember that drinking retards edu-
cation, industry, and every branch of
political and social Improvement
Remember that multitudes yearly die
a drunkard's death.
Remember that every year multitudes
from your moderate. ranks recruit
the wasted army of drunkards.
Remember that every drunkard once
tried to follow the example you set, and
on trial fell from his slippery grounds
into the whirlpool of intemperance.
Remember if you sanction the Gus
tom you are answerable for its fruits.
Remember that the weak and tempt
ed ones look to you, land that under God
it depends on VOC whether they may be
drunkards or sober men.
Remember that ''to him that know
eth to do good and doeth it not; to him
it is a SIM" and that there is ''woe for
that man through whom offenses come
to the little ones. "
Remember that you can not be neu-
trial; and there will be day when you
will be unable to plead ignorance.
Remember that all this weight of re-
sponsibility rests with you, as you raise
the cup, if you think it right, but we
envy not your conscience.-G D. SEQ

Temperance Items.

THE YOUNG LADIES of Topeka, Kan,
have organized Red Ribbon Clubs, the
members of which pledge themselves to
reject all attention from young men
who use intoxicating beverages. This
is practical prohibition. Chicago Inter

The PROPOSED PROHIBITION AMEND
MENT was passed by the Senate of Ore
gon by vote of eighteen to ten, and
by the House by vote of fifty-two to
six, two members being absent from
each house. The measure will come be-
fore the next Legislature, two years
hence, and if agreed to then will be SUBJ
mitted to the vote of the people
DR.. NORMAN KERR recently stated
in Exeter Hall that of $4,000, 600 cases
of disease every year in the United
States, large proportion arose from
indulgence in intoxicants. Some sew
enty diseases are described as arising
directly from alcohol. The estimated
annual mortality caused directly and in
directly by drinking was given at
10000.
THERE WAS A SCENE in a New Haven
Catholic Church that might be enacted
in all churches with good results. The
priest preached Temperance sermon,
and then asked every man who would
take pledge to abstain from liquor
year to hold up his hand. Sixteen hun
dred hands were raised, and, with all
the solemnity of the sacrament, the
priest administered the pledge to them
they on their knees and he with the
crucifix in his hand.

Shade Trees.

Now is the time to set out shade trees
about the house, yards, lawns, etc. No
one should neglect this matter. A farm
house without shade, especially one in
our prairie sections, has q hot, swelter-
ing look of discomfort about it in sum-
mer, and in winter a dismal air sur
rounds it. Plant shade trees, therefore.
Do it and your children and their chill
dren will rise qp and call you blessed
when they sittaEs Upon the grass in
the heat of sa1nNleF beneath the trees
their fathers and mothers planted; or sit
within the domicile amid the falling
SHOWS of winter and admire the inspir-
ing evergreens their hands have tended.
1t is not necessary to expend large sums
of money among the nurserymen to Sc
cure few young trees, though they
will furnish an endless variety of them.
The woods are full of nice young and
hardy native trees that bear transplant
ing admirably well, and form beautiful
shade trees when grown, if rightly
cared for. 1t pays to grow shade trees.
1t pays the interest and qualification one
feels in cultivating them and watching
their growth. It pays to enjoy their
cool and refreshing shade when they
are grown. Few persons desire to sell
home farm their hands have orna-
mented with nice shade trees. But
should any desire to do so. they win find
that no small amount of money or time
can be invested in any way toward inn
proving the farm that will pay ike that
devoted to growing trees for shade.
Plant some, friends; a good many OF
them. It pays pays in every way to
DO SO. --JoarpQt Of Agrlcultasres

that can make nothing else, and they

boro, in Maine, makes them pretty

the rate of about 800 a minute. New
England makes them for the world,
sends them out by the thousand boxes

every country on the globe where peo-
pie wear clothes and wash them.
"How are they madeP Yes; guess
I can tell you that"
"The woods of which they are made
are of white birch and beech, good for
this use but for not much else, l believe.
The logs are sawed off into lengths of
sixteen and twenty-five inches. The
latter are sawed up into little boards to
make the boxes for packing the pins.
The shorter lengths are sawed into strips
of suitable thickness for pins by gang
saws that make block into strips
quicker than you could say Hohokus.
Then a gang of three saws cuts off the
strips into five-inch lengths. Each pin
is now just squared block about five
inches long and three-quarters of an
inch square. In this shape they are
fed out of troughs into automatic
lathes, each of which turns out eighty

rapidity the knives of a slotting ma

When this is done, they are thoroughly
seasoned in drying kilns. The next
process is polishing. Forty bushels of
them are tossed together into reyolv-
ing drum, where they make each other
smooth by their friction, and to finish
them little tallow is thrown in when
they are almost done. That gives them
"a nice glossy surface. After all that
they are packed in boxes-fve gross in

WHAT the First Salnon &C.

The first saloon licensed by the BOARD
of County Commissioners, nearly nine
years ago, paid fifty dollars for that
privilege. It met bitter opposition
from the friends of Temperance and
good order; but the rum men were
alert, and, by presenting a bogus petit
ton asking forit, the thing was granted.
and fifty dollars are supposed to have
gone into the treasury.
A change at once came over our
town. Drunken men began to be seen
upon our streets. Men who before paid
their bills regularly now paid so much
for rum that their bills to honest trades
men had to 60 unpaid
The air of that saloon, night and day,
was made black with profanity, vulgar
ity and rum. Our young men went there,
and stayed until the hour of midnight.

outside with his head fatally crushed bv

tedious series of trials followed, costing
the county over one thousand dollars,
resulting in sending the murderer to
prison for fourteen years, and breaking
up his family.
The murdered mans widow made an
attempt to keep her family together on
the farm, and to furnish them with food;
but in two or three years she died-no
doubt from priyation. A daughter soon
followed her mother from the same
cause; then the ragged children were
sent to their friends in Ohio, at the ex-
pense of the county.

Guaranteeing Seed Corn.

When man offers seed corn for sale
and charges higher price for it than
the regular price of corn, for the reason
that it is seed corn, he is responsible to
the party buying for the loss, if it does
not grow. And the only way he can.
absolve himself from this responsibility
is to have it distinctly understood atthe
time that the purchaser takes it at his
own risk. And no one should buy seed
corn this year except on conditions well
understood. There will be plenty of
greedy men offering seed corn for sale
without understanding what they are
doing, or being irresponsible for the
damages. Some may think the meas
ure of damage would be refunding the
money paid, or furnishing equal amount
of corn again. This is a limited view of
the case. If man sells seed corn and
charges more because it is seed, he is
responsible to the purchaser for the full
amount of the crop he might have
raised but did not on account of the de-
feet in seed. If the owner of seed corn
will not guarantee it, then buy only
where it has been fairly tested, and YOU

fools of yourselves in so important a
matter.
AS general thing it is not safe to
plant corn two years old. The fact that
it grew last year is no evidence that it
win grow this year. 1t never grows
entirely as well as good new seed And

strong vitality it can be trusted But

trap by some sharper who wishes to
make speculation in seed corn. There
will be enough failures without care

person appoint himself a committee of
one to see to his own case, and attend
to it closely, vigilantly. 1t is an emer-
gency which will bring out mans

Before filing up vacant places in
the orchard with young trees, it is best
to think whether the full-grown trees
now standing will not, with good mar
uring, bring more fruit than a larger
number would. Most of our orchards
were planted'too closely, and the tree
roots interlace SO as to rob each other
of what fertility each should have.
Although butter alone is nearly In
digestible, yet the relish that good but
ter imparts to bread makes it more
healthful than the bread alone would be.
The human stomach will digest almost
anything that eaten with 9. relish,
though scarcely anything that is not.
This is a point which the directors
against the use of butter should care
fully note.
MIR. T. Greiner, in the Farm and
Garden, says that the easiest and quick
est way to destroy the weeds that gen.
orally start about the time when the
potatoes are up so that the rows can be
seen plainly is by thorough use of
harrow or drag. He places great en-
phasis upon this, and deems it far more
effective than the cultivator and hoe, at
less expense.
Western corn-growers persist in
planting corn after corn. The result is
that they have bred a worm which eats
the roots, and which lives in the ground
from year to year. AS it is not migra-
tory, its existence depends on having
corn planted on the same field in sue
cession. Good husbandry, which de-
mands rotation of crops, will therefore
rid farmers Of this pest.
The practice of some of the best
farmers now is to keep pigs through the
summer on green food, cut and carried
to the pens, with little grain, and
what milk can be spared after butter
making. Spring pigs are thus made to
weigh two hundred pounds at seven
months old, and, except in the last
month, they get little grain. The best
time to sell such pigs is at the begin
ming OF cold weather, usually in October
