ufacture, is an irritant Of the WORST
kind when taken in excess, and the al
cohol is in almost its absolute state.
Its effects, too, are distinctive. The
ginger drinker invariably becomes SIM
pie. These are not the varieties of ordi-
nary intoxication. You will find all
the smaller drug stores outside OF
the very center of the city do
ing an enormous business in
ginger, and the same with the grocery
stores. There ought to be legislation
against its indiscriminate sale, the same
as there is against the in1iscriminate
sale of other alcoholic drinks"
A prominent druggist, whose business
includes wholesale and retail, said the
growing demand for ginger had been
noticed and commented upon in his es-
Establishment and in others which he had
visited. in our store" he said, 1--WE
have adopted the rule of refusing to sell
ginger to any person who appears to
have been drinking, but we haven't
gone so far yet as to refuse to fill the
orders that are sent in to us from fam
| lilies or that are brought in by children.
There ought to be some restriction, l
must admit, but what and how? Most
of the ginger drinking is done down
town, should judge, by the quantities
ordered by druggists. We sell good
deal of it, too, and to people who would
be Mortified if accused of tipping"
According to the Pharmacopoeia, the
formula for the tincture of ginger is:
Ginger, 20 parts; alcohol, a sufficient
quantity to make 100 parts Moisten
the ginger with parts of alcohol, and
macerate for twenty-four hours; then
pack it firmly in a cylindrical percola-
tor, and gradually pour alcohol upon it
until 100 parts of tincture are obtained. u

A Device the General Adoption OF Whlcn
Would Save Much Labor.
It is an easy matter to ''stick the
fork' and unload load of hay with
horses, but it is not quite as easy to
loosen the hay in the winter with
hand pitchfork. This is especially true
where hay is put in the barn in large
forkfuls, and allowed to roll down IN
any way so as to give room for the next
forkful. 1t is well to ''mow away the
hay in sections and stack 1t nicely IN
the barn, but ninety per cent. OF the
farmers are often forced by approach
ing storms, lack of help, breakages or
other causes to put the hay in quickly
without regard to how it tumbles
When hay thus put in has settled, II

The Love of Drink.

A recent Pittsburgh (Pa-) telegram
mentions that on single evening in
that city four expectant brides, who
were in readiness for the marriage GER
emory, were disappointed through the
non-appearance of the men whom they
were to marry on account of drunken
ness. In one case many invited guests
and the minister were in attendance and
waiting from half-past seven till niue
o'clock, when word came that John"
was drunk, and the party dispersed. In
three cases the disappointed girls re-
considered and decided that they would
not marry the men who had thus dis
graced themselves. In this decision
they were wise, and it is to be hoped
they will adhere to it. Drunkenness
and marriage, in the best sense, are in
compatihle.-National Temperance Adj

AMONG THE POULTRY.

SULPHUR in the nests is good rene
iy for lice.
WARM, well-ventilated coops should
be provided for the early chicks.
COLD, wet, improper feed and filth
are the four leading causes of disease
among poultry.
THRIFTIER and more vigorous chicks
will be secured if the eggs used for
Matching are fresh.
FRESH earth in which the hens can
wallow and scratch will be found of
considerable benefit,

IS taken to wash out the drinking YES

THE gizzard of the fowl masticates
the food, but this can only be done with
plenty of sharp, gritty material.
BY selecting eggs for Matching from
the hens that lay the earliest and best,
decided improvement can be made in
the breed.
The white or brown Leghorns are a
very desirable breed where eggs are
wanted. They are good layers, but not
good settlers.
THE nests should always be in a dark
ened place. The hens will not be dis
turbed so much nor be liable to break
SO many eggs.
HENS at this time should not be over
fed. Keep them with a sharp appetite,
so that they will take exercise enough
to keep healthy.

GENERAL BREVITIES.

MANY persons suppose that the Bible
does not condemn the use, but the
abuse of strong drink. Could there be
any stronger appeal for total abstin-
ence than this?-"Look not thou upon
the wine when it is red, when it giveth
his color in the cup, when it moveth
itself Alright. At the last it biteth like
serpent, and stingeth like an adder. -"

The official report of crime in France
for 1887 shows that inebriety has di-
unfinished steadily from 1878. The aver
age number of inebriates arrested for
crime of all kinds from 1878 to 1875 was
over eight thousand. From 1875 to 1880
it was seven thousand five hundred.
From 1881 to 1885 it was six thousand
seven hundred. From 1885 to 1887 it
was five thousand nine hundred
journal of Inebriety.
CRIME and drunkenness have in
creased in terrible proportions in Ger
many and France during the past TWEEN
ty years. This fact disproves the Oft
repeated false assertion of anti-total
abstinence people that the consump-
ton of beer and wine-light alcoholics
tends to sobriety. The report of the
last International congress for the sup
preston of alcoholism, which was held
in Paris from July 80 to August 1, 1889,
afirms that criminality and mental
alteration follow march parallel with
the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
THE highest court of Maryland de-
cided that the liquor law of the state
applies to the dispensation of drinks in
social club as fully as in a saloon, and
consequently that clubs must obey the
law or suffer its penalties. The SUI
preme court of Massachusetts has held
that the law does not apply to clubs
unless they are mere tipping establish
| ments run under the name of club for
the purpose of evading the statute. The
court draws distinction between sa-
loon which is public and open to every
body and a club which is private
| body open only to its members

A report of the Maine experiment
station contains the following useful
cautions to those who handle insecti-
eide poisons: l. They should always
be carefully and distinctly labeled Poi
son, and kept out of the reach of children.
2. They should never be handled with
bare hands, and without oiling the
hands or covering any sores with court
plaster, or still better using gloves. 8.
While spraying, keep to the windward
of the trees; wash thoroughly after
wards, and keep children out of the
orchard. 4. Exclude animals until a
heavy rain falls. 5. Avoid spraying on
the windward side of dwelling or any
yard for animals. To these precautions
we may add that it is specially impor-
tant to mix the materials very thorough
ly, so as TO make more efficient action,
and to prevent the danger Of any uu-
diluted portions

fork, but not too deeply, in such dense-
ly packed hay, and start up. Go slow
ly when the forkful nears the end of
track above the wagon. Trip it with
the trip rope and turn the team around
for another load. In this way two men
and a team can put on ton in twenty
to twenty-five minutes without sweat
ing like a southern negro on cane
plantation. Two of my men have spent
an'hour with hand forks doing the same
work.
AS many barns are comparatively
low, an open shed extension-see the
cut-with feeding hay rack in the
center, would greatly economic hand
ling uncut hay, and would, further
more, save the droppings from eX-
posture to rain and snow. The hay
could be dropped from the horse fork
into the feeding rack directly under
meath and save considerable labor.

TEMPERANCE NOTES..
A DHuNKARD'S REFORM.

A demon has travelled beside me
For years that directed my ways
Through paths of Incorporate thralldora
That threatened to limit my days;
And oft when 1 strove to avoid him,
And take more suitable guide,
He laughed at my wavering efforts
And Travelled more close by my side.
He lured me with wild destinations,
And whispered gay things in my ear;
NY tongue seemed to lisp of his teachings
Whenever felt he was near.
His presence repealed beloved friendships,
Whilst enemies seemed to increase,
Because of his damnable promptings,
Repulsive to virtue and peace.
/ drank Of his soul-lIilling potions
Till hope seemed my presence to fly
Till oft in remorseful relapses
felt was willing to die.
And thus with God.given features
Distorted, and low as the brute,
Ihelplessly walked with the demon,
With infamy close in pursuit.
He laughed at my guardian angel
Whenever it called me away,
Because he had found that in evil
His touch would command me to stay,
Until seemed shackled completely,
And till he felt sure that my soul
AS we'll as my body was mortgaged
Unto him beyond my control.
He sneered when admonlshing friendships
Implored me the demon to fee,
And when I'd recall loved parents
Last warning and pleadings with me;
Whilst thwarting my efforts to shun him,
His agents were sure to be nigh,
To SINCE my poor wings with fire draught
That left me unable to fly.
Till once in the depth Of my thralldom
happened moment to pray
That angels of peace might assist me
And kindly direct me away,
When quick to my soul came the answer:
up! fight for redemption at oncer'
Whilst echoes seemed gladly repeating
That hopeful angelic response.
Instantly fought with the demon
In order to shatter his SPELL
Whilst hope seemed to sing out from Heavt
And groans seemed to issue from hell,
Until from my lips with an effort
cast his foul goblet away,
When my guardian angel embraced me
And shed on my life new ray.
