An Experiment with Beer.

DR.. Andrew Clark, physician in the
London Hospital, a man of the highest
medical authority, talks thus about the
relations of alcohol to work: 81 have
some experience to speak from, for ]
am workingman myself. | take it /
work as hard as most, for l have
eighteen hours day at my work,
working in a hurry, with very anxious
subjects to work upon, and work that
goes over Sunday as well. / have
also the experience of the ten thousand
people that pass before me every year.
! will risk all on the statement that,
however pleasant alcohol is for the mo-
ment, it is not a helper of work, but it
is a certain hindrance of work.
1.-The late DR. Parkes, of Netley,
was the most loyal, careful, faithful
and truthful of observers whom it was
ever my good fortune to meet. He was
an earnest lover of truth, and he per-
formed the following experiment: He
got number of soldiers "a the same
age and Of the same type of constitu-
ton, living under the same circum-
stances, eating the same food, breath
ing the same atmosphere, and he did
this that the experiment might be fair,
and he divided the soldiers into two
gangs-an alcoholic gang, and nom
alcoholic gang and he engaged these
two gangs in certain work for which
they were to be paid extra. He
watched these gangs, and took the re-
suit of their work, and it turned out
that the alcoholic gang were far ahead
at first. They had buckets Of beer
by their side, and as they got a
little tired they took beer, and the
non-alcoholic gang were, in an hour or
two, left nowhere; but he waited and
watched as / told you, and, as the ex-
pertinent went on, the energies of the
beer-drinkers speedily began to flag,
and, do what they would, before the
end of day the non-alcoholic gang had
left them far behind. When this had
gone on for some days, the alcoholic
gang begged that they might get into
the non-alcoholic gang, that they might
earn little more money; but DR..
Parkes, in order to make the experiment
clinching and conclusive, transposed
the gangs. He made the alcoholic
gang the non-alcoholic gang, and vice
versa, the men being very willing to
lend themselves to the experiment, and
the results were exactly the same.
The alcoholic gang beat the non-alco-
holic gang at the starting, and failed
utterly toward the end of the day. This
is the most conclusive, and, think, by
far the most crucial experiment that /

Decrease Of the Drinking Habit In
England.

1t is an interesting fact that the En-
glish revenue accounts for 1928 show
a remarkable decline in the consump-
ton of intoxicating drinks during the
last half dozen years, the duties from
wine and spirits being sixteen per cent.
less than they were in the fiscal years
of 1896, and this, notwithstanding an
increase of eight per cent. in popula-
ton. In other words, the wine and
spirit duty seven years ago amounted
to f23,0O0,000. If the same rate of
consumption had been preserved, with
the eight per cent. increase of popula-
ton, the duty last year would have
amounted to f24, 100000. But, as a
matter of fact, it amounted to only
f19, 100000, decline of $4,000, 900,
which can only be accounted for on the
presumption that the people drink so
much less of the intoxicating fluid.
That this state of things was not anti
cipated by the statesmen and politicians
indeed, that they looked for pre-
cisely opposite result-may be judged
from an address of Sir Stafford North
cote in presenting the English budget
of 1874:
81 will refer" he says, Gas one
main source of possible addition to the
revenue, to the vast increase in the con-
sumption of spirits. 1t may be said
that the time may come when a check
will come; but l ask under what cir
cumstanceS would it be expected that
the consumption of spirits in this coun-
try would fall off so seriously as to in
Jure the revenue therefrom? 1t must be
either from some general failure of the
consuming power of the people-the
will remaining as it is-or from some
great change in the habits of the
people,
What Sir Stafford Northcote regarded
as incredible in 1874 has actually come
to pass; and the revenues of the country
are already seriously injured by change
in the drinking habit. That it is a
change of habit, and not merely mat
ter of forced economy on the part of the
people, is partially indicated at least by
the fact that they pay 9500,000 more
duty per annum on tea than they did
three years ago. At the same time it is
not easy to supply an explanation fot
the change itself Something, no
doubt, may be ascribed to the effects Of
the compulsory education system. the
results of which first began to show in
the adult population about seven years
ago, but more probably is due to the
leavening influence of the various le-
vivalistic movements which have been
prevailing in England during the last
ten years. 1t would be strange, indeed,
if the preaching of Moody and Sankey,
the work of the Blue Ribbon organiza-
tons, the devoted laborS of some of the
Ritualistic clergy, and the enthusiastic
If in-advised- efforts of the Salvation
Army, did not bear fruit in regenerated

Canon Farrar'S Programme of Temper
ance.

Now, drink corrodes the heart of
Nation and the sons of any people,
and nothing can make them strong
except temperance, soberness and chas-
tity. We, therefore, shall not join in
any wall which has been raised by the
friends of the liquor traffic about the
diminution of the revenue, but, on the
contrary, we shall go on more and more
pressing upon the Legislature what are
our just demands. We shall try and
make them listen to what we require
Why, ladies and gentlemen, if we only
succeed in getting what Scotland has
had long ago, what Ireland has now got,
what Wales has now got, what York
shire, and Northumberland, and Corn
wall are now demanding-if we get only
that, we shall at least have got some
thing worth having. But we want to
get, for instance, Sunday closing. With
our Sunday closing we want to get
five or eight mile, or, as in some of
our Australian colonies, ten-mile
limit, to prevent the abuse of the closed
publc-house by that curious and
unreal sort of publican's ghost, that
bogus individual the bona fide travel
er. Then we want to prevent passenger
vessels being made into floating gin
palaces. Then we want to prevent,
to prohibit altogether, the payment of
wages in public houses. Then we want
to prevent altogether the great and
perilous abuse which is often made of
public houses at times of election. Then
we want to have society protected from
the pauperism and the vice of drunken
ness. Then we want all those who are
habitual and notorious drunkards to be
in some way checked, or at any rate
prevented from buying liquor which
is also a rule in some of our colonies.
Then we want the closing of public
houses at ten o'clock in the evening,
and, if possible, at two o'clock on
Saturdays. have not done yet. We
want to have individual members of
Parliament prevented from blocking
bills which are demanded by the voice
of the country, and which are re-
quired by the happiness of hundreds
and thousands of people; and then, be-
sides all that, we want veto, protected
by scheduled voting papers, by which
we shall be enabled to veto all new
public houses, to diminish to any extent
we like the existing number of public
houses, and if in any district it is the
strong wish of such district to put an
end in their limits to the liquor traffic
altogether, we want to have for them
also the vote which will enable them to
do it. The reason that we want this is
because we do not wish to see thrust
upon people, to theirmisery and demon
alization, without their consent and
against their will, any number of public
houses. We want these things and de-
mand them all in the name of justice, in
the name of freedom in the name of
morality, and in the name of religion.
We want, and we have q right to have
all these, and | think Imay say in your
name that sooner or later we mean to
get them.

TOp-Dressing Pastures.

The renovation of pastures deserves
to occupy a prominent place in the
operations of farmers until there shall
have been made decided improvement
in them. Various methods of renova-
ton have been recommended. Each
must select that method which seems
best adapted to his situation, and most
likely to accomplish the object. If the
pasture is well seeded to grass, and only
seems exhausted, the application of
fertilizers is indicated. Top-dresSing
with barn manure will produce excel
lent results proportionate to the amount
applied. Top-dressing with meadow
mud, road-wasfings, plaster of Paris
and ashes, produce good results. An
instance of the value of meadow-mud
applied as top-dressing to light,
gravelly soil, is given by Mr.. Flint, in
his work on ''Grasses and Forage
Plants. San interesting experiment
fell under my observation not long ago,
where common meadow-mud, rich barn
and liquid manure, impregnated with
lime, were used as a top-dressing on diff
ferent parts of the same field. The
mud was hauled out in the autumn, and
thrown in heaps, and there left to the
action of the frosts and SHOWS of winter.
In spring, it was spread about the same
time, and the other manure was APP
piled. Strange as it may seem, the
part to which the mud was applied APP
peared to far the best advantage"
Light soils generally will be bene-
flied by dressings which render them
more compact and firmer. Clay and
mud are beneficial to such soils. The
county of Norfolk, in England, is said
to owe much of its fertility to the appli-
cation of mud and clay to its sandy soil.
Great improvements in sandy soils have
been made by the same means in Bel
gium. Such applications improve the
texture of the light soils, and enable
them to better retain moisture and fer
tilizers. Twenty-Five to thirty carloads
to the acre have been found to be suf-
ficient to greatly increase the product
iveness. The washings from the roads,
which accommodates in holes and hol
lows by the roadside, promotes the
growth of grass. Every one has noticed
how rank the grass grows in such places.
The road Washings contain, besides
some putrescent animal matters,
quantity of fine sand which, applied to
loamy or clayey soils promotes the

Purchasing Farm Implements.

Such rapid improvements have been
made in farm implements that it is get
ting to be a serious question with the
farmer what he shall buy, and what he
can afford to do without; whatever he
decides to buy he hardly becomes famil-
lar with its use before such improve
ments are made upon it that he is in
doubt if he can afford to use it, because
the improved one will do so much more
work with less strength. To keep up
with the times and buy all of the ma
chimes that are really labor-saving, that
are now found in the market, would not
only require a large outlay of money
for the purchase but also a large out
lay for astorehouse large enough to hold
them.
On very large farms it is important,
and in fact profitable to have complete
set of improved farm implements, from
hand-wheel hoe to threshing ma
chine, but on small farms the outlay
for an entire set of improved imple-
ments is too large, so the small farmer
is compelled to make a selection that
will conform to his means and the size
of his farm. If his farm is so small that
he keeps but one horse, the difficulty of
making a selection is greatly increased,
because he finds many of the best i'm
plements are made for two horses, so he
must either get another horse, or con-
tinue to use the old implements.
The large farmers have an advantage
over the small farmers, by being better
able to have complete set of the most
improved implements, Manufacturers
of farm implements should try to
equalize this difference, in measure,
by making some one-horse machines
whenever it is practicable; unless this
is done the small farms will eventually
become improbable for mixed farming,
and the owners will have to resort to
specialties; or a neighborhood of small
farmers will have to join together and
purchase, to hold in common, the larger
and most expensive farm implements.
This could be done in good neighbor-
hoods. For example, q manure spreader
or threshing machine could be owned
by several neighbors, and be made to
serve each one when wanted, by little
previous arrangement. This practice is
already adopted in some portions of the
State. When the parties are good
neighbors everything goes smoothly;
care must be taken not to unite with
men who are all sell. Massachusetts
