THE ANNUAL ENGLISH DRINK BILL

DR.. Dawson Burns, upon whom the man
tie Of the late Mr.. William Hoyle has fallen,
has calculated the annual drink bill for the
year 1880. AS compared with 1888, the fig
ures are by no means creditable. In the
former year the drink bill was 2124, els, 346;
in the latter, 4l32, ,2l3 276. AS the prosperi-
ty Of the nation has revived, the expenditure
Of the nation in drink has increased by over
seven and half millions or about 81 per
cent. In round figures half million is due
to increas ed expenditures on vines, and half
a million more on foreign and colonial spir-
its, six and half millions bcing the increase
on beer and British spirits. This points to
the fact that, as wages have increased, q
large portion of the industrial classes have
been more lavish in their expenditure upon
drink. The annual expenditure per head has
gone up from e3 shillings 8 pence to e3 9
shillings II pence. One satisfactory feature
Of the case Is that, bad as we are, we have
been worse. In the decade ending 1870 the
annual average drink bill was nearly G136,-
0O0, 900; in the last decade it was al25, 5O0,-
0O0, and this in spite of the increase in the
population. Echo.

NO MIDDLE GROUND on THIS QUESTION.

Rocky Mountains OIL the face OF this c0ntl-
nent with q school-boy's sponge as to try to
eliminate the liquor problem from the issues
of American life with any sort of measure
short Of its total, absolute national prohi-
bition. 1t is the gigantic evil Of the age
and the issue Of its future life or death as
traffic is the irrepressible conflict that is now
upon the nation. The line Of division upon
is.question is radical and infe1ible. There
is no middle territory where the man Of
conscience aud patriotism can stand, pro-
Tossing a love for God, country and fellow
men on one side and practising friendship
with the liquor traffic on the other hand. He
that is not against it is for it, by the un-
avoidable logic Of the situation, and no
manner of, argument or vehemence of pro-
testation to the contrary can ever change the
,act.
The nature of liquors and the history'of
the traffic in all lands convict it as the most
,tupsndous curse OF humanity, the enemy Of
al Righteousness, the robber of all pros
perity, the disturber Of all peace and the
iespoiler Of all phases Of individual and na-
tional glory. No priest or publicist, no rite
pr sacrament, no philosophy and no legislation
have ever been able to transmute it from
curse into a blessing. Your own common
sense repudiates any man or argument that
:eeks to teach you that the liquor traffic IS
personal or public good. II were to say to
you that its tendency and aim is to produce
sober, industrious and thrifty citizens, instead
If sots, paupers and criminals, not man
,r woman among you would leave this hall

,city and honesty If were to say to the
wives Of Evansville that the liquor trade is
blessing to them, yielding them loving, ten
Ter, proyident and Christian husbands, th, ,

member their SORROWS, their tears, their
hame and their ruined hopes. By my hope

following manner; A meeting Of the stock
men Of the district having been held at which
the date for commencement has been fixed, a
captain chosen, and the number OF representa-
tives each owner is TO send ARRIVED ut pro-
portionately to the number OF cattle he
owns all hands with their saddle horses,
bedding, etc, gather at a designated point
10 commence their work. The roundup out
fit here usually consists of about 80 men,
divided as follows l cook, l horse herder
for the day and one for the night the
balance riders Each rider has his own
string of horses from five upwards Two
four horse teams, one TO haul the mess
wagon and one the bedding tents, branding
irons, etc., comprise the outfit.
The daily routine is much as follows: We
are awakened in the early mornine &. - =
melodious voice of the cook shouting Scrub
pile" at the top Of his voice. and woe betide
the lazy fellow who does not Immediately
turn out, and proceed TO eat our breakfast.
Meanwhile the herder has brought in the
band of horses and saddle horses for the
mornings ride are caught and saddled. A
little amusement is sometimes caused by a
horse not thoroughly broken undertaking to
buck his rider Off, but generally without
success
The captain now gives the men their orders
as to which way they shall ride, and gather
in all stock that they find, to meet at some
designated point, usually within ten miles,
where there is in most cases a branding corral.
Arriving there the cattle are punched togeth-
er and the representatives of each brand sue
cessivly ride into the bunch and cut out THAR
cattle, which are in turn driven TO the corral
and the calves roped, thrown and branded.
This work continues until the whole country
has been ridden over and all the calves
branded. The principle object of the round
up is of course, the branding Of calves, to
which may be added the driving in OF the
cattle. that have strayed too far from the
rancho and the gathering Of beef for sale
and shipment.

THE cow BOYS HOME.

come ton with the branch of agriculture
that treats of the cultivation of the soil.
would refer first to the system that is usually
practised of raising cattle from band of
imported range cows placed on the prairies of
the West These cattle and the calves that they
produce are hardly seen or handled by the
owner until they are grown into beef cattle
ready for shipment to the eastern markets.
The cattle industry in the Maple Creek
District, IN. W. IT, is increasing rapidly year
by year andpromises in a short time to rival
that of Montana and the western parts of the
Uni ed States. Although the majority of the
stockmen in this district have begun with
only a few head of stock and limited capital
the increase has been so rapid that they now
begin to rank amongst the foremost Of stock
owners in the North West. The past two
winters have been such that the mortality
has not amounted, at the outside, to more
than one per cent This district being within
the Chinook" belt the snow rarely lies on
the ground for more than few days at
time and on the buttes not so long, so that
cattle range freely all winter and provide for
themselves coming out in the spring beef fat.
Butchers purchase and kill beef from the
range at all seasons of the year.
For the benefit of intending settlers who
have an idea of embarking in the business of
cattle ranching, an account Of the means and
costs may be interesting:
Take as an example person bringing in
a band Of 500 head of good grade two year
old heifers at say, $25 per head, also 20 bulls
at $50. In the first place he must locate
suitable site for buildings, ETC., in the vicin-
ity of good water-a running stream is of
course preferable. Then comes his buildings,
viz, log house which will cost about $50,
a horse stable of logs to accommodate eight
horses for $50; a shed 1O0x20 feet for weak
cows and calves during winter say S75, and a
pole corral for branding calves, etc, about
SIS. These buildings will be sufficient for
the first year and can be added to as his herd in
creases. Next comes the purchasing Of Is saddle
horses at about $50 per head; one team of
work horses at $3.50. One team not being
sufficient for haying, many ranchers have
some OF their saddle horses broken to work
and use them during that season. Mowers
and rakes costs sl25 and Q wagon and harness
