making.
The names of G, UJ0 of the temperance

Delusions Shown Up.

It seems strange, when we find plain
and simple facts visibIy and clearly de-
veloped in everyday life, that the peo.
pie should be so easily deluded with the
sophistical and contradictory statements
made by the aTologists of liquor dealers
as to the nature and effects of alcohol on
the human stomach.
You are led to believe that the cup
which is pressed to your lips contains
some elixir of pleasurablc enjoyment,
and when taken you are only partially
aware of the awful malady that has its
fangs on your vitals. sapping your very
life blood; and, like treacherous SER
rent, insidiously hid and intrenchcd in
the inmost recesses of your physical na-
ture, you scarcely know his presence,
aud yet heis gnawing at your most sensi-
sitivc susceptibilities, poisoning the very
fountain of your life.
That alcohol is poison of the most
acrid and virulent character is attested
by the most eminent scientists and ncdi.
col experts of our country; and, also,
that wine, beer, whisky, and other in
toxicating drinks are largely made up of
alcohol, beside other poisonous compo-
nents, and are the direct cause of nearly
all The disease, crime, and pauperism now
prevalent in the community, are facts
certified by the best thinkers of the age
and yet we find that large proportion
of "good" people are so dcluded and
and subservient to the fallacious sophis-
try that alcohol is harmless ingredient
in the drinks that are now offered for
sale by these rch-conspirators against
the homes and the best interests of our
country, the rum sellers. This is the
most wicked and fatal dclusion that has
ever possessed the minds of an intelli
gent people, and it is marvel that this
fallacy can be tolerated, when the oppor-
tunity for full knowledge of the char
acter of alcoholic liquors aud its horrible
results are so plainly visible.
And this per6dious rum monster ha:
his clutches now on the most vital inter.
ests OF our country, and will hold OF
with tenacity that makes it next to i'm.
possible to shaka him off.-W. Jenning

Ad.jnncts of Vice.

It is fact beyond dispute that there II
scarcely any form of public vice that is
not found in conjunction with the
saloons. They give support and hearty
cooperation to everything which tends
to the decentralization and debauchment
of community, from a gambling table
to brothcl. A number of saloons in
Baston have recently endeavored to add
to their attractions and their profits by
setting up lotteries on a small scale. The
method has been to put up silver table
ser. ice or some other valuable prize on
which chances are sold at so much
ticket. Happily the police have proved
equal to the occasion, and large number
of the saloon-keepers are under arrest on
the charge of maintaining lotteries.--

THE quarterly report of suicides in
the United States, as published by the
Insurance Chronicle, presents some
interesting facts. The report covers
the months of March, April, and May,
and the first noticeable fact is the large
increase of suicides over the cores
ponding period in the last and other
preceding years. The whole number
given is 52S, which is 136 more than
the number reported in the same
months in 1885, and $50 more than the
average for four years past. The
youngest suicide was II years of age
and the oldest 80. The greatest num-
Der, 19, occurred at the age OF so, which
is very unusual, IS being the age at
which most suicides occur. Insanity,
Us usual, has the greatest number OF
victims, being credited with 160.
Family trouble follows with SO, love
trouble with so, dissipation with 3S,
and business trouble with 80. "Chagrin
at parental discipline" is still promi-
nent among the minor causes, being
credited with s. Classified according
to civil status, husbands take the
lead with 163 cases. After them
come so bachelors, 49 wives, 44
maids, II widowers, 7 widows,
8 divorced men, and 3 divorc-
ed women. These figures tend to
show that while women endure better
than men the burdens of married life,
they bear also with more philosophy
the rupture of the marriage tie either
by death or divorce. It may be added
that the ratios here given do not vary
greatly from those in former reports.
Shooting, as in former reports, stands
at the lead among the means employed
in self-slaughter, the number of sui.
cides that occurred in that manner be-
ing 191. Next highest on the list is
poisoning, to which ninety-six cases
are accredited; eighty-one chose the
rope; sixty-eight the water, and fifty
two the knife, while ten jumped from
railroad trains, and five from heights.
Of nationalities Americans took the
lead, furnishing 100 of the cases to
eighty-one Germans, twenty French
fourteen English, and eleven Irish.
The highest figure for any other no,
tionality was seven, on which the Al,
rican and the Pole were tied. In oc'
cupations the agricultural was the
heaviest sufferer, the list showing fifty
three farmers, while the next highest
number, sixteen, is credited to the mer'
chants.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
10 FARM AND GARDEN.
Small Cows the Best.

"The dairyman who buys or grows g
big cow, giving little mess of milk,
for the sake of having heavy weight as
basis for beef at the end of her useful
ness as q dairy animal, the National
Stocknsan thinks, is like manufacturer
who buys big steam engine for doing o
little work, for the sake of having heavy
weight of old iron to sell when the engine
is done with. The waste of food for keep,
ing up the excessive weight of the big
COW and keeping her warm, and the
waste fuel and steam in keeping hot the
needless iron in the big engine, are
analogous and there is striking SINH
larity between the old iron in the worn
out engine and the beef in o worn.out
cow. Unless big bow is an extra milker
she is less profitable than a smaller .one
that is fair mixer"
1t will be remembered that we opened
this question for discussion last week.
The above was written previous to that
time. 1t is an expression of opinion
only. No one knows therefore what value
to attach to it. AS it stands it looks
and reads logical. But the National
Stockmaaa has faculty of making things
appear much as it wishes. We want
to see the question discussed practically,
that is to say, by men who have used
large COWS for the purpose, and small
COWS, and have honestly and impartially
tested and proven both. We do not
want big cow for little mess of milk
for the sake of having heavy beef when
sent to the shamb!es, any more than we
want q small cow with extra milking
qualities and at the end of her race rab-
bit-like skeleton for beef Both of these
can be found without difficulty.
The question we wish to see discussed
and solved is, will large bodied Hol-
stein or Shorthorn, ordinarily good
mixers, give as good returns in milk on
the same food as the smaller sized Jer-
sey or Guernsey2 If they will and then
give the larger carcass when dried off for
the shambles, then have we gain of one
on the other. If, on the other hand, the
smaller sized animals will on much less
food during their milking lifetime give
80 much more milk as to compensate for
their want of beef weight in drying off,
then do we prove something to show how
far the one is as valuable as the other in
that regard.
There is another question involved in
this which naturally and necessarily be-
longs to it, namely, the matter of the
steers produced by the one and the other,
but that may be left out of this consid-
Grafton entirely. Let US get the one
question solved first and then take up the
other. .-Rural World.

Bee Notes.

At the recent meeting of the Bee
Keepers Association of Oneida county,
N. Y, the members related their failures
and successes during the past season.
The testimony was to the effect that 1886
has not been good year for honey
making. Not more than one-third. of
the usual quantity of honey has been
gathered.
F. L. Smith remarked that the various
novices in bee culture could often teach
the best apiarists. They frequently hit
accidentally upon experiences which are
of great value. He had meyer seen two
seasons in which tie same care and at
tention would do for bee raising. He was
surprised this year by having one swarm
appear in May, but later the bees did not
do as we'll, and swarming was not gen.
eral until the latter part of June. He
had eighty-seven colonies in the spring,
which increased to $50. Only six of the
new swarms were natural. twenty-five
of the old ones were divided artiicially.
His average yield this year is forty
pounds of honey to the swarm.
B. i. Foster said that in May his bees
gathered more honey than ever before.
Some of it was fine and some not as good
as that of last year. He made five or six
swarms by dividing old ones. Four hives
of his bees averaged about sixty pounds
of honey to the colony, but he had taken
$50 pounds from one colony.
R. Bacon spoke of the yellow finish in
the honey, which he attributed to mild
mustard. Others thought it came from
the daHdelion or the cltnip. He is salts
fed with an average yield of thirty
pounds.
Mr.. Miller wintercd thirty five out of
thirty-seven swarms, keeping them in a
sheltered building where the mercury
never went lower than five degrees above
freezing.
His average yield of honey was 524
pounds, although he has taken from oae
as high as 800 pounds.
W. C. Perry lost seven out of eleven
swarms during the winter. His average
yield was from twenty-five to thirty
pounds. Mr.. Evans attributed the dark
color Of his honey to sumach blossoms.
Feeding bees for winter requires Pc
culiar kuack as well as care. Mr.. Bacon
Uses sugar and water, one-third water
and two-thirds sugar. This food is all
eaten before spring, and before the bees
commence to gather honey, so that none
of it goes into the crop.
A ajority of the members favored the
Italian breed of bees. Others thought
there was little diffe encc so far as work
ing qualities are concerned between the
Italians, the Germans and the hybrids.
The Italians are the most gentle under
handling. The points to be considered
in breeding are gentleneSs, quietness in
winteripg, prolifcness and working quail
itics.
As to wintering bees, c. D. Wheeler
burics them in the ground. He digstwo
trenches with boards at the sides, top
and bottom, and covers them with lay
ers of shavings and sawdust and then
with carthr Arrangements are made Tor

method is comparatively new, but seems
