LAW AND THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

The Pittsourz Christian Advocate, com-
menting upon the legalization Of the liquor
traffic, says: ,
We have made laws to authorize base men, ;
If they pay twenty-five dollars year in som8
others, to set up in all towns and cities their
vice producing, drlnkard making establish
ments! And 80 we do what heathen Chi
nese Emperor refused to dove run our
municipal governments and Our State and
national governments largely by the great
revenues which are collected from the vices
and crimes of our people. And now we have
millions on millions Of money invested in
wineries, distilleries and breweries, and irg
wholesale and retail liquor houses, and mill
ions on millions in the immense stocks Of
liquors. It has come to be gigantic busi-
ness. 1t is strong and mighty. 1t has been
established by legislation. 1t cannot be do
stroyed without legislation, We have per-
nlitted it by law. we must prohibit it by
law. 1t exists in village and town. in city
and State and nation, by the sanctions Of
law and the protection Of the Government
It stands to reason that, in order to abolish
it. we must take away the shield Of law and
the protection OF the Government every where,
and enact prohibition laws and Constitu-
tional amendments.
Men make the laws which legalize the
liquor traffic; only minority of such men,
and of those who elect them to be legislators,
are total abstainers. To change these liquor
selling laws the men who authorize them
must somehow be reached and converted.
How shall it be dope9-NotionI Advocate.

1NTEhPERANCE AMONG WOMEN.

Archdeacon Watkins, at the convention
OF the British Women's Temperance Asso.
ciation lately held in Sunderland. England,
deploring the fact of the spread of the evil
of intemperance among women, even the So
called higher and middle classes repeats the
statement, 'that no small part of the evil,
at least in certain classes OF English society,
Is to be traced k;rocers' licenses" Lady
Henry Somerset spoxe strong words of en-
couragement to all temperance workers
She said that hope beat high in their hearts;
there were better times coming when the
tide had set in which would sweep before 1t
all that had so long been an obstacle. The
year had been memorable one. For the
very first time those who knew nothing of
the forces that were gathered around the
cause, were obliged to recognize the invinci-
bic power Of the few; for in all great moral
questions it was not majorities that were 20.
ing to prevail, but the men Of conviction
against the men Of theory. She hoped to
see the time when women would voteside by
side with men, for then they should have q
true sentiment on great social questions It
had been found that during three hours on
one Sunday night In London SO, ,00s human
beings-48, S05 men, 80 7S4 women and 70l0

ENsILAGE FOR HORSES.

Ensilage is not considered wholesome
food for horses on account of its aptness
to ferment in the stomach, and this is
dangerous in such small stomach as
that of horse. Even gre clover or
rye should he carefully used for feeding
horses fresh and unfernented, but not
wet. Cows may be safely fed on ensi-
lage, and will eat one cubic foot per day.
If any ensilage is fed at all to horse it
should be mixed one-half with dry hay
cut fine aud without meal, whole grain
being fed at intervals. Two hundred
cubic feet of space, with one-half for
shrinkage, should be allowed in q silo
for each animal to be fed, and for small
stock the silo should be one-third deeper
than it is wide. One seven by seven
should be ten feet deep. This is neces-
sary to enable the silage to be taken off
from the top as it is wanted.
One acre of small corn will make
about 400 cubic feet of silage, equal to
about eight tons. The corn should be
planted as if for grain, in rows three
feet apart, and with four grains at in
tervals of eighteen inches in the row.
This will give large number of ears,
and when the grain is glazed the corn
may be cut and shocked and partly dried
for two or three weeks, when 1t is in
better condition for the silo than if put
away when newly cut. In small silo it
is necessary to pack away the ensilage
slowly, so that it has an opportunity to
heat up to 14O degrees, which destroys
the germs of fermentation aud mold, and
thus keeps the eusilage from becoming
sour. This will require about three OF
four days in the filling. Care is to be
taken to pack the ensilage firmly, espe'
cially about the walls, and to cover the
top with hay for two or three feet.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

On the farm ducks can be kept very
cheap.
Using the whitewash hot will help to
kill the lice.
Pea meal makes a good substitute for
cottonseed meal.
Bees do not make honey, but gather it
from the flowers.
Stop the cracks in the hen house or
they will stop the supply of eggs.
Onions arc grown to the best advan-
tage on rich, highly mauured lands.
The parent colony of bees is the col
ony from which swarm has issued.
Bar hives are hives with bars across
the top to which the combs are attached.
Pet the COW, but beware of petting
the bull. He is too rough in his sport.
The beginning of pigs life is the
most important, and the Importance con-
tinues.
Prune the shade trees as we'll as the
fruit trees, so as to give them a beautiful
shade.
Ground for sweet potatoes should be
thoroughly prepared before being
planted.
Plan to bring out the resources of the
farm 10 the best advantage. Make every
part pay.
Every apiarist should aim to keep his
place, his extractor and rec eptacles neat
and clean.
Don't ask advice from others. Get
the facts and figures and act on your own
judgment.
Keep the brood-mare doing light work.
Exercise, if not too severe, will be bene-
fetal to her.
The practice is to confne the sheep
and let loose the dogs. Why not reverse
the practicea
In striving to make more pounds of
butter, don't forget to strive to make
better butter.
The better way to start in the bee
business is to begin in small way and
gradually grow into it.
A little salt will be found beneficial to
all classes of stock when stock is allowed
in the pasture on young grass.
Over-sulphuring Injuries the texture
and flavor of the fruit, as any unbiased
dried -fruit-testing palate will testify.
Until settled weather it is best to close
the doors of the poultry house every
night. Very little ventilation will do.
A row or two of sundowers planted
along with the corn will be found profit,
able to use in making good variety OF
feed, especially in the winter.
Save the egg shells, put them into the
oven and burn them brown; then mash
them up fine and mix with the feed. II

TILE RIGHT KIND OF RELIGION.

do not want to be misunderstood. I am
working for revival Of religion-a religion
that converts people, renews them in the
spirit of their mind, creates them anew in
Christ Jesus, delivers from the bondage OF
sin, injects new ideas, purer, better than the
old, brings them out of the world, and sepa-
rates them unto Christ; religion that re-
deems man from all sin and sets him
on holy lving-on self-denial, painstak-
ing, circumspection and prayer-that
imbues his spirit with love, seasons his
conversation with grace, and makes him
a witness for the truth as it is in Jesus;
all example, a model. an Israelite with
out guile or hypocrisy or wavering. In 3
word, let us in the name Of the Lord have a
revival Of pure. undcfled re!igion-a sin
killing, sin.hating, sin.forsaking, debt-pay-
ing, God-serving, man-loving religion; re-
igion that makes the church liberal, that
fits up the fallen drunkard, sets him up.
right on his feet, makes and keeps him
sober--that cruciies the pride of life, the lust
Of the lesh-roots out the love of the world,
aud fills the soul with the love Of the Father;
, consistent, steadfast. uncOmpromising re-
igion, always ahounding in the work of the
Lord.-[Bishop Pierce.

TILE MEN THAT FELL. OFT.

DR.. NJ. D. Hoge of Richmond, Va, tells of
two Christian men who "fcll out" One
heard the other was talking against him, and
he went to him and said: "Will you be kind
enough to tell me my faults to my face, that
may profit by your Christian candor and
try to get rid Of them?" "Yes, SIR" replied
the other, II will do it, They went aside
and the former said:
''Before you commence telling what you
think wrong in inc. will you please bow
down with me and let us pi ny over it, that
my eyes may be opened to see my faults as
you will tell them? You lead i'll the prayer"
1t was done and when the prayer was
over, the man that had sought the interview
said:
"Now proceed with what you have to
complain of in me.' But the other replied ;
"Aftcr praying over It. it looks so little that
it is not worth talking about. The truth Is,
I feel now that in going around talking
against you have been serving the devil
myself, and have need that you pray for me
and forgive me the wrong I have done
YOU"
The quarrel was settled from that hour;
and there are several difficulties that might
be settled the same way. Try it.-CCommon
People.

DRINKING HABITS.

"There are a great many men wac are
oyerworked and undcrfed," said physician;
s'they think they are too busy to eat lunch
at midday, and resort to stimulants as sub
stitute for food. 1t only takes minute to
step into barroom and take drink. inns
makes them feel better for the time, but the
effect soon passes away and another IS taken
to get rid of the empty feeling. The habit
grows until it takes eight, ten, or more
drinks day to keep them going. Alcohoilc
stimulants are the worst thing in the world
for an empty stomach finally causing catarrh
of the stomach, interfering with the secre"
tions of the liver and destroying the ability
to assinilate food. When man comes to
me in this condition the first thing do is to
cut of his whisky or whatever form OF stlmu.
liant he is addicted to, and substitute food
for it. can't substitute solid food, because
his stomach won't retain it, I must get him
to take something that will. This is where
hot milk and vichy comes in. Cold milk Is
too harsh. 1t shocks his weakened stomach.
Hence I give it to him hot. VIchy ngntens
and livens it; makes it more easily dlgested'
tell him to take glass two-thlrds MIX,
one-third vichy, twice day; TO order 10
over bar, anywhere he can get 1t, ana 20
let whisky and all stimulants severely alone;
If he obeys the orders I will cure him and
safe his life A good many men among my
own patients, fast growing prematureiy oio
and bringing upon themselves multitude
of ills by the steady use Of alcoholic sunni
lants instead of the nutritious food when
they should take. have been reclaimed oy tne
use Of hot milk and vichy. If you tlnd you
are losing YOUR appetite for food and CORE
spondingly gaining that for alcoholic stlmu-
lants, try it. 1t will do you good. ."-Nsw

GODS FLOWING.

I was walking, once in the early spring,
along the country road Just over the stone
fence yonder there was broad field, smooth
as a floor, and most exquisitely arrayed in
the fresh spring greenness of its grass. 1t
seemed to Inc my eyes had rarely fallen on q
sight so lovely. But ripping right through
that smooth and pleasant greenness there
was being dragged a plow, and the fresh
beauty of the fair sward was being i
turned under from the sun and air,
and only the ugly brown soil was being
turned outward. and all the fair and radiant
scene was being changed and SCARED.
Why" asked myself. 1 do not have, to
wait long for an answer. The "chastlse-
ment" of the fair field was in order that the
