had been even a moderate beer drinker,"
said the physician to the patient, 1--WE
would have had to amputate it," This
adds another to the long list of medical
testimony against the use of beer.
William E. Lewis, Wisconsin State
secretary of the Young Mems Christian
Association, gave us some testimony on
the relative resisting powers of a beer
drinker and Temperance man. He
belonged to Company E, of the Thirty
Seventh Massachusetts Volunteers in
the civil war. He belonged to squad
of four called ''the model squad" be-
cause they did not use liquor, tobacco
or profanity. In the battle of the
Wilderness the Thirty-Seventh was
ordered to charge the advancing line Of
the enemy. In the charge three of their
squad were struck-one, John Dunbar,
was fatally wounded; another, Joe
Foster, got bullet through his arm
above the elbow that shattered tho
bone, passed through and tore open his
side, exposing his vitals and carrying
away part of two ribs. Mr.. Lewis
had bullet through the knee. Foster
lay FOL I'VE days without care, and
when found at last cupful of maggots
was taken from the wound in his side.
The bone had to be removed from his
arm for few inches above the elbow;
yet within five weeks from the day he
was shot he reported for duty.
Mr.. Lewis, like many others Of the
twenty-five thousand wounded in that
awful battle, lay eight days without
any thing but water which a wounded
companion brought in his canteen. Yet
no one seeing Mr.. Lewis to-day would
think that he was in delicate health.
"There was another follow in our reg
inent by the name of Waite" said Mr..
Lewis. "He got the end of his little
finger shot off and it caused his death.
He was beer drinker, and it was the
state of his system caused by the beer
that carried him of. "-Northwestern

English also, and in many eases in other
languages as well. For instance, nobody
will have much difficulty in supplying
the English prototypes of the following:
''Every dung-hill dog is bold when on
his own dung-hill rolled;" THE moment
when the cat departs, give back to mice
their merry hearts," LET dogs that

''Brothers in trade, or good, or i'll, are
seldom brothers in GOODWILL" ''Out of

BEER AND THE BODY.

Testimony as to the Relative Resisting
Powers of Beer Drinkers and Temper
ance Men.
About two years ago the Mail gath
cred the opinions of the medical fra
ternity Of Madison on the effects of beer
on the human body. With one excep-
ton they gave straightforward replies,
the majority being quite adverse to the
use of the beverage. That exception was
a youthful physician who had not been
in business long enough to learn how
to act when interviewed. He thought
the question ''impertinent."
Not long ago this physician had seri-
Gus wounded limb to dress. The wound
ed man was healthy and temperate, and

twelve hundred said they were simply

FLOWING CORN.

best practice is to run round the rows
with a small scooter and board when the

impacted by soaking rains, the ground

Of the most common errors III corn
culture in the South is having too

The old rule of plowing every three
weeks is "more h0nored in the breach

than if three weeks apart.
Deep plowing and root cutting arc
absolutely inseparable. PloW deep, Il
