The Curse of Saloons

!. "Down with the Saloons was the subject
discoursed by the Rev. Charles f. Goss to
large audience at Moody's Chicago Avenue
Church. 'The word of God.h said he,
speaks in utter reprobation of drunkenness.
The condemnation of the word of God is
specially directed toward the saloon The
saloon, as we now understand it, is the gene
sis of modern evil. il the word of God cone
demns drunkenness it must surely condemn
the place where drunkenness is manufac
tured.
"When we enter these gilded palaces of
sin, with their beveled mirrors their richly
cutglasses and their rare pottery, the fifHb
object ones eyes fan upon Is a pair of scales
placed in q conspicuous corner for the poor
drunkard to weigh his shame on. / would to
God | could put scales into the saloons of
Chicago that would weigh mems characters
or weigh their souls. As a political factor
the saloon occupies an important place There
isn't system of moral or political govern
ment but the saloOn-keeper has hand in the
making of its laws They are doing more to
corrupt the civil government of the country
of America than all the rest of this countrys
eorruptive practices put together. Socially
the saloon also plays an important part. If
it corrupts politics what must be its effects
upon society, with its impure pictures adorn-
ing its walls, its conversation so vie, de-
graded, and low that a man cannot frequent
such place without all OF his true and noble
ideas being dragged and tramp.ed in the
mire.
Its influence on the home is absolutely
destructive from the first hour man crosses
the threshold of one of these hell-holes of
iniquity. Given up to impure conversation,
gathered into the arms of convival compan-
ions, what cares he for the wife or children
starving at home, with the winter~winds
creeping in under the thresholhand poverty
staring in at the window, Oa individual
life of man the saloon is a Wanufactory of
drunkards. 1t takes the raw material from
our homes and converts it into besotted,
drunken wretch. Ii takes from the center
of our homes the bright, beautiful, happy
boy; that face which mother has smiled
upon and has loved, who lips have been kissed
by loving mother or fond sister. All the
strength and beauty of that manhood is
drawn into these hellish machines and trans
formed into poor low, miserable drunkard.
AS you drain a swamp of its cursed malaria,
just so much you drain this cursed institu-
tion from our land."-Chfcago Neics.

A satisfactorv Fenoe.

l have found my fence Of smooth
wire and board effective, and cheaper
than any Other have ever built, saws a
farmer in the New York 7Fi uas. In a
small pasture ad dining the barn (where
we turn out horses and have kept
one or more cows night and day. stock
have several times broken down or
jumped over the board fence on two
sides, but have not in the three years
broken through or over the wire. We
use plain No. wire, costing me 3 cents
pound, and it weighs about one pound
to the rod. l used in this fence but
three wires and one strip of board. three
inches wide, but would use four wires if
building another. / have another lot
fenced with fve wixes. and the strip of
board, which turns calves and sheep.
Fence boards now cost me / cent foot,
running measure, for 6-inch wide, or
$50 per Thousand feet, so you see that
five wires cost less than one board. This
is not all the saving, however, for one
post every thirty-tw two feet is all that is
needed for a wire fence, while a good
board fence requires post every eight
feet Then the cost of building the
board fence is four times that of build
ing withswire,
With the end posts we'll braced there
is very little trouble in keeping the wires
of the right tension. After the wires are
stretched and stapled to the posts, we
drive a stake in the centre, between the
posts and staple the wires to it. We
then set up strips of board, three inches
wide aud four feet and half long.eyery
four feet (three of these strips filling EACH
space between a stake and post, and
staple the wires to those uprights, and
the our 3-inch board is nailed to these
with a single clinch-nail at each. A
wire fence is never safe without this
board, as stock, particularly horses,
when excited and running will not see
it, and will run into it, but with the
uprights only four feet apart and the
one narrow board there is no danger of
this. 1t is a good plan to put small
fat stone or piece of board under the
end of each upright. The cost of the
material for this fence is about 80 cents
calling the posts at % cents each, stakes
3 cents, uprights l cent and wire staples
and nails at cost. On level land, where
long stretch could be had. / think 10
cents a rod would certainly cover the
cost of building. shall put up this
fence quite extensively in future.

Feed the Straw.

sfasr.
Now that threshing is generally over,
the question naturally arises, What shall
be done with the strawY In the great
grain growing regions, but little thought
is given to the matter ltis Usually burned
to get it out of the way. If stacked it
is done so loosely that it poorly sheds the
rain, and is soon valueless, except for
manure. Those who de ire to convert it
into manure for immediate use draw it
into the barnyard to be trampled down
by the stock. Straw is too valuable to
use in this way. 1t is desirable fodder,
and should be housed or rwell stacked and
fed to stock during the winter. If yours
is poorly stacked, fix it up and cover
with long slough grass, IN order that
good share of it may be preserved. 1t
has been proven that straw aud less than
bushel of barley or its equivalent in
other grain, will winter sheep we'll.
Straw and four quarts of oats day
will winter an ordinary horse that is not
at work.
1t takes but little figuring to prove
that to the ordinary farmer it is cheaper
to feed straw and small amount of
grain, than to winter his stock upon
"good hay'' alone.
With ALI the care taken, unless housed,
there will be more or less waste that the
stock will not eat. This, with dry muck,
leaves, sawdust, and other refuse about
the farm, stock yard and barn, will give
bedding for the stock.
A great many farmers do not figure on
anything better than ''p.enty good
hayn to winter their dry cows, and young
stock, both cattle and horses. If these
would feed little less of the good hay
and some grain, they would find it
cheaper and their stock would do as
well. 1t makes but little difference how
we get the combination that makes a
good ration, so long as the result is
| reached two and five make seven as well
as one and six.
Even those who keep their straw for
the manure or plant food there is in it,
| do not expect to get the good of 1t for
/ two or three Years-not until the pile
"rots down. If they have several piles,
and good sized ones, more land is thus
occupied that can be afforded upon a
we'll regulated farm. When fed to stock
| the plant food contained in straw is at
once available. All the grains make good
manure, yet no one would be so foolish
! us " llIOW tnCn III ~ the DuIu- dIQ lOI
that purpose.
BE as wise with the straw of the grain.
Get what nourishment there is in il for
your stock frst-feed your farm with
what is left.
The whole question in regard TO what
to do with straw can be answered in four
words-feed it 10 stock. We are not ad
vocating a straw diet alone. We would
not advise any to feed it alene to milch
COWS and expect any milk, or at least moi
much, and less cream, yet we do not
think small ration OF nice, bright oa
straw will hurt mileh cows that are high
grain fed. We know they relish it
Feed all your coarse fodder-givinG
grain or supplemental foods enough
to make a complete ration. Sell from
the farm only that that takes the leas
from its fertility, and sell that after yol
have used the A" waste Of the farm a
well as the grain, in producing it. FeeC

FARM AND GARDEN.
Keeping Tools.


The following, clipped from Farm
Machinery, is as applicable to the man
in the shop.
Keep your tools handy and in good
condition. This applies everywhere, and
in every place, from the smallest shop to
the greatest mechanical establishment
in the world. Every tool should have
its exact place, and should be always
kept there when not in use. Having a
chest or any receptacle with a lot of
tools thrown into it promiscuously, is
just as bad as putting the notes in an
organ without regard to their proper
place. If man wants wrench, chisel
or hammer, it's somewhere in the box
or chest, or somewhere else, and the
search begins. Sometimes it is found -
perhaps sharp, perhaps dull, maybe
broken; and by the time it is found he
has spent time enough to pay for several
tools of the kind wanted. The habit of
throwing every tool down, anyhow, in
every way, or any place, is one of the
most detestable habits man can pos
sibly get into. It is only matter of
habit to correct this. Make an iufiexible
rule OF your life to "have a place for
everything and everything in its place"
i may take a moment more to lay tool
up carefully after using, but the time is
more than equalized when you want to
use it again, and Sc it is time saved.
Habits, either good or bad, go long
ways in their influence on mems lives,
and it is far better to establish and firmly
maintain good habit, even though that
habit has no special bearing on the
moral character, yet all habits have their
influence.

A Midshipman's Chest.

Each chest contains all the worldly
possessions of one officer, which, thus
packed, are as inaccessible as they well
can be. Immediately under the lid are
three or four shallow trays. One of these
is fitted as a washstand, with basin, mug,
soap-dish, and receptacle for tooth
brushes Another till is a sort of loose
box for eyerything while a third con-
tains a miscellaneous collection of neck
ties, handkerchiefs, pipes, money, and a
limited stock of jewelry. Under these
trays, and packed more or less tidly,
according TO the tendencies of the marine
servant who ''looks after" each young
gentleman, arc his uniforms. suits OF
pain clothes, boots. linen, and articles
of haberdashery. After this explanation,
