TIMBER CULTURE.

The cry which has gone up all over our
country, for the protection of our forest
lands, has had some effect. Most men
now days realize the increasing value
OF timber. The danger now is that de
sire. for present profit will overcome
prudence rs to the future. 1t is far more
economical, in cutting timber, to leave
the younger trees and only cut the full
grown ones The Ohio Fnrmey says:
Land devoted to timber should he
completely occupied. 1t should be
thlnncd out, but never cleared off, unless
II Is I" be used for another purpose We
are no longer obliged to destroy hive
or colony Of bees in order to yet the
honey, so we need not destroy our wood
lot in order to get timber. A valuable
tree may be started just MS easily, and
will grow MS rapidly and thriftiy as a
worthless one. We can't afford to grow
poor or indifferent timber, for which
little or nothing can he realized, when
that which will yield good profit can
he grown just rs chcaply. White ash
has more than doubled i'm value within
the past five years, and will bring double
what IT now does within the next few
years. Locust and other varieties arc
ais" increasing in value Five or six
acres of really good timber located near
any thriving town or city; will pay for Il
good farm.
A mixed forest * natures rule, and it
Is 81 safe on" To follow. If a number of
varieties are planted and MI do well,
those that arc the least promising should
he tine first cut out and sold, giving
room for the others that are likely To
prove of greater value.

Why Is 1t so?

There are five hundred dollars yeal
taken from the little saloon man by the
State legislature and turned over to the
city corporation, and the money Is said to
be expended to build streets, avenues and
drive ways, for business and pleasure fol
the people. About twenty or twenty-five
thousand dollars year are thus taken out
of the little saloon man and put 1t into the
treasury.
Along comes telegraph companies, tele-
phone companies, electric light companies
railroad companies, and last comes the
street railroad company digging up our
best streets and avenues and obstructing
them with poles, wires and d..track, taking in
the middle of our thoroughfares, crowding
out and frightening teams, clogging up the
fine avenues and streets, that were built
with the money that is extracted from the
prescribed saloon man.
These various private corporations use
and occupy the streets, avenues and bridges
without paying one dollar as license, as far
as the public knows. There is no fat fried
out of them for the city treasury as 1t
frys the little saloon man.
But the city charges the saloon man five
hundred dollars year for doing business.
He uses private property, paying taxes
paying rent, and is private concern the
same as the others.
The city takes the money away from the
saloon men and donates 1t and thousands
of dollars of other privileges TO other pri'
vate concerns without one dollar for license
or income, and will virtually shut out travel
and trad5 from the west Illinois River
Valley road connecting Ottawa Avenue.

Contagious Blood Poison

Is the constitutional blood disease which
has for several centuries past been infest.
ing mankind with its annoying features
and destructive results, and is now the
great bane of the human race. This is
the worst of all blood contagion, as the
horrible poison is transmitted from one
generation to the next, and even the third
and fourth. We do not honestly believe
that the terrible scourge has ever been
cured and thoroughly eradicated from the
human body by any other remedy than

fall to make permanent cure in any case

DRUNKENNESS DEFINED.

In view of the ScHEFFER law in this
state, 1t is desirable that exact stand
ards should be had to determine what
constitutes drunk. In divorce trial
at Kansas City the past week, the plant
iff, Mrs. MOORE. attempted to prove
that Mr.. MOORE at times drank more
than was consistent with the dignity of
his position as the head of a family.
Mr.. MOORE testified that he never ex-
ceeded fifteen drinks in day, and the
bartender stated that the limit of Mr..
MooRE's drinks was two fingers. Ex-
perts were then called to determine
whether this amount of absorption
passed the limits of sobriety. 1t was
held that a great deal depended upon
the capacity of the man. Cases had
been known where even ten drinks of
Kansas City whisky of two fingers each
had tangled the legs. but it was not in
sisted that it was necessary result of
even Mr.. MooRE's fifteen. 1t was not
believed that any absolute measure
could be prescribed. In this state, the
only safe way would seem to be for
every man who drinks to have his ca
pacity taken and carry memorandum
pasted in his hat of the number of fin
gers he can take without fracturing the
law
