IT is said that prohibition saves every
state where it is in force millions of
dollars, and we believe it. But where
does the money go? If it is saved,
why cannot we use it for better roads,
better schools, better social appliances?
Why cannot New England farmers in
vest these savings in that needed new
education which the departure of virgin
fertility from our soils renders neces-
sary on the farm? Why cannot we
afford to hire teachers for our children
who can teach something more than
the three RS? We farmers deal with
nature every day, yet know little about
her workings, or how she may be made
to work for us by our working with
her, rather than against her,-as we
often do through ignorance.

A RAT-TRAP.-A correspondent of
the Country Gentleman makes small
work of destroying rats. This is his
way: {" Fill barrel one-third full of
bran and water, mix stiff enough to

mess in the same barrel (after empty

$50 long as the butter is in an oily
state, how can waste be avoided when
the pressure is put upon it? The but
ter runs out of the curd as naturally as
cider out of ground apples. Mingling
with the whey we have white whey
in abundance. The curd ought to
have temperature as low as seventy
five degrees when it is put to press
says the american Dairyman.

several occasions, had balky horses

To dispel colds, headaches and fevers,
to cleanse the system effectually, yet
gently, when costive or bilious, or when
the blood is impure or sluggish, to per-
manently cure habitual constipation, to
awaken the kidneys and liver to
healthy activity, without irritating or
weakening them, use Syrup of Figs.

BUT is farm life everything that we
can desire? Oh, no Leanness is
there, too, and barrenness of soul.
Even uncleanness of body and mind
are not absent. But there is always a
chance there for something better, and
at any rate there is pure air and clean
water in plenty, while to these we may
add all innocent joys and that progress
sive state of mind and soul that honest
industry always earns, even when too
timid to seize upon. 1t is within the
power of every American farming COM
munity to have good schools and good
roads, and abundant instruction from
pulpits and desks, and by meeting
together in innumerable ways.

WE have several replies and enquiries
in reference to our note in regard to the
best harrow for farmer who can afford
but one. ga Subscriber" Cabot, VT,
highly recommends the Syracuse Spring
Tooth Harrow. Another correspondent
asks where he can get the Thomas
Smoothing Harrow. We got ours of
w. w. Rawson & Co., "a South Market
Street, Boston, but we suppose both
these harrows can be ordered through
any dealer in farming implements adj
vertising in this paper. In reply to
questions from subscriber in Sharon,
VT, we may say that the Thomas Har-
row is made in three sections, detach-
able, and is thus available for either
one or two horses. A heavy horse will
handle two sections nicely. The whole
implement has sweep of about ten
feet. AS this is light harrow, it is
best to use it after heavier one on
rough blowing. Its great merit is that
with its sloplng teeth 1t may be drawn
over corn or potatoes, after they are up,
without injury,-thus saving large
amount of hard work. Its work is done
very rapidly, and much more thoroughly
than by Breeds Universal Weeder.
The latter, however, is useful tool for
one horse on fine light soil. There is
no injury done to the crop by either the
Thomas or Breed implement when
drawn across the rows, or lengthwise.
They are both great labor-savers, if
used frequently and before the weeds
getmuch start,-far ahead of cultivators,
because they destroy the weeds in the
rows as well as between, and allow per-
fectly level culture, which is best for
both corn and potatoes.

How ~ Be- Ga" CURED

BY taking Hoods Sarsaparllla, which, by
the remarkable cures 1t has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed has |
proven itself to be potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some of these
cures are really wonderful. II you suffer from
scrofula, be sure to try Hoods Sarsaparilla.
"My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof-
ulous sore neck from the time she was 22months
old till she became six years Of age. Jumps
formed in her neck, and one Of them after
growing to the size Of pigeons egg, became
n running sore for over three years. We gave
her Hoods Sarsaparllla, when the lump and
all indications of scrofula entirely dis
appeared, and now she seems to be healthy

WHAT do we see in what is called " So
ciety"? Vulgarity and selfish greed,
vanity, folly and ruin,-and we see it
prominent if not dominant, with all its
hideousness, in church and state. Finer
natures may not share its debasement,
even when seemingly part of it; but
they are powerless to control it, and
hardly know how to be ashamed of it.,
even when disguised by it.

A VERY important bill has re-
Gently passed Congress, by large
majority, relative to copyright Of
books. 1t will permit foreigners to
take an American copyright on the
same basis as American citizens IN
three cases: First, when the nation
of the foreigner permits copyright
to American citizens on substantl-
ally the same basis as it's own citi-
zens; second, when the nation of
the foreigner gives to American
citizens copyright privileges SINH
lar to those provided for in this
bill; third, when the nation of the
foreigner is party to an interna-
tional agreement providing for
reciprocity in copyright, by the
terms of which agreement the
United States can become party
thereto at it's pleasure. A subsldi-
airy but important proposition to
the bill is that all books copyright
ed under the proposed act shall be
printed from type set within the
United States or from plates made
therefrom.

HERRMsNN'S NEW TRICK.

New YORK, December 12.-There
was a private exhibition at Herr
mann's theater to-day of the new
illusion Stroboika," which will be
presented to the public there on
Monday night. Mr.Herrmann asked
his guests to come on the stage and
examine an iron frame, which con-
sisted of four posts, seven or eight
feet high, joined at the top by bars.
Within this frame was a plank
large enough for man to lie upon
comfortably, hung by chains to the
posts. All this was thoroughly in
spected, and anybody who chose
was allowed to walk around it,
crawl under it and go as far as he
pleased toward climbing over it.
Then man, supposed to be Rus
sian prisoner or something of that
sort, was placed on the plank and
secured to it by four iron bands,
one about the neck, one obout each
wrist and one over the ankles. The
bands were fastened to the plank
at one end by staples, and at the
other by padlocks, of which the
guests kept the keys. When every
thing was ready curtain was
drawn across the front of the frame,
hanging low enough to hide the
plank and the man on it, but not
low enough to hide the wall be-
hind. Watches were taken out
and at the end of just minute the
Russian prisoner was seen coming
down the aisle from the back Of the
theater while the drawing of the
curtain disclosed Madame Herr
mann fastened to the plank just al
the man had been. Everybody sale
it was a clever trick. =
