TEMPERANCE IN SWITZERLAND


The results of an important temper
ance movement in Switzerland begun in
1887, are described as most satisfactory
IN the last British official report from
that country. In 1887 a Federal alcohol
monopoly was created with the object of
providing q revenue, diminishing the
consumption of alcohol aud of insuring
that the alcohol drunk was free from
any deleterious compound. All three of
these objects have been accomplished.
According to the report, "the success of
the alcohol monopoly may now be said
to be fairly established. 1t has done its
best to insure the purity of the spirit
consumed throughout the csuntry; it
has diminished the consumption in a re-
markable degree; and it distributes
yearly among the cantons a sum which
is already very considerable and which
will increase. The temperance charac-
ter of the monopoly is still further
shown in arrangements made when the
monopoly was established that tenth
of the money paid out of this to the can
tons must be expended in combating the
causes and effects of alcoholism.
The most satisfactory result is the as
tOnishing decrease in the consumption
of spirits. In 1885 the average consump-
ton per head of population was 1926
litres, while in 1890 it was 6.27 litres.
The cessation of the contraband trade
was factor in these figures, but the
consumption has diminished to a con-
siderable extent. Strenuous efforts have
insured pure spirits. These results
seem especially important when the con-
dition of Switzerland few years ago is
rendered. Then incompetence was a
national evil to be combated by the
Government. Boston Journal

THE GnsPEL nE Gnnn RnAns

Mr.. Isaac Potter of the League of
American Wheelmen has issued an inter-
esting pamphlet, which he entities ''The
Gospel of Good Roads" His purpose is
to show that one of the prominent causes
of Improbable farming lies in poor
country roads. These form potent
factor in the cost of getting produce to
market. The census Of 1880 places the
number of horses in this country at
about 10000, 600. Mr.. Potter estimates
that the cost of keeping these is $4,000
900 per day. He also estimates that on
macadam road horse can draw twice
the load possible for it under similar
circumstances over a dirt road, and from
five to ten times the weight that a single
horse could haul when the dirt road is
covered with mud and cut by ruts. From
this he concludes that fully 1000, 900 of
these horses are necessary only because
of the bad state of the roads, and that as
a result a needless expense of 500, 900 a
day is thereby incurred.
He also shows how good roads not
only diminish the cost OF farming, but
actually increase the value of the farms.
In the State Of New Jersey there are sew
eral hundred abandoned farms, but in
Union county, where some 600 miles of
improved road have been built in recent
years, not a farm lies idle. He thus de-
scribes the changes in Parlle county. IN
diana, resulting from good roads:
"Phe farmers hauled much bigger
loads, and did it in March more easily
than in August; wagons lasted good
deal longer; horses were rarely injured,
and so itpaid TO keep better stock, and
what was of very great Importance, mar
kets could be reached at any season.
The farmers, formerly isolated for weeks
together, discovered that they could go
where they would with ease, and at the
very season when they had the most leis-
ure."
Some of the New England legislators,
who are now investigating and discuss
ing the matter Of abandoned farms, may
find a suggestion in this.

MAINE LUMBER.

The Kennebec lumbermen are already
making preparations for the winters OPP
erations in the woods, and with the first
cold weather men and teams will begin
to work. The indications are that the
cut the coming season will be less than
the average, owing to the slack work the
last summer and low prices Notwith-
standing this, the Kennebec mills have
kept their saws turning out about tine
usual output of manufactured lumber.
Several concerns were fortunate in hay
ing made early contracts, which were not
affected by the slow demand.
Still the shipments have been in ex.
cess of the requirements of the market
How long this state of affairs will con-
tinue it is difficult to tell, but there does
not seem to be any immediate prospect
of improvement.
Spruce is the great tree down East to-
day, and there is no longer any sense in
calling Maine the pine Tree State" for
although there are millions of pine yet
standing and considerable is cut. yet it is
of minor Importance when compared
with spruce. An examination of the
logs in the Kennebec will demonstrate
this, and hardly stick of pine is to be
found.
The extent of provincial forests is not
generally appreciated. Five hundred
million feet of logs are cut in the State
annually, one-third the amount floating
down the Penobscot and $3.50, 900
down the Kennebec. The quantity of
lumber shipped from the State since the
starting of the business early in the cen
fury has been enormous. The rapid
growth of the pulp mills is absorbing a
vast amount of wood, mostly young
growth spruce, and it has become a seri-
GUS question whether the consumption
in this direction will not seriously affect
the lumber supply.

UNDEvELoPED RESOURCES.

Good friends of Vermont have talked
long and earnestly of the unused farms
of the State and have thought to say lit
tie of other matters which have vastly
more of benefit and opportunity fof
wealth than all the farms combined.
The undeveloped mineral resources of
Vermont should have received more at
tention. The towns where those re-
sources have been developed have in
creased in wealth more rapidly than
those in which large manufactures have
located. Marble has built up Rutland
and Proctor, granite has made Barre
what it is, and slate has added thous-
ands of dollars to the wealth of Poult-
ney. There is no reason why other
towns with undeveloped mineral re-
sources might not add to their industrial
activities by opening quarries of what
ever may be their special product.
The friends of the State ought now to
begin over again and advertise, not the
vacant agricultural properties, but the
mines and quarries which are beneath
the surface on so many hillsides. Open
those and the abandoned farm question
would be forever settled. An increase
in the manufacturing population or of
chose who work on quarries would in
crease the demand for the products of
the farm to such an extent that it would
be necessary to reoccupy the vacant
farms to supply them with the neces-
saries OF life. We believe the opening
and working Of our vast mineral depos-
its is the solution OF the present agricul-
tural depression -Be!lOUs Falls Times.

THE AUTUMN IN VERMONT.

1t is conceded by all who are qualified
to speak with authority that Vermont
has ususual attractions for summer Wis
ltors but less is known about the autumn
nal beauties of the Green Mountain State
for the very good reason undoubtedly
that less has been said on this subject.
That September and October are among
the most enjoyable months of the year
among our green hills is a fact that is
thoroughly appreciated by Vermonters,
but we fear that comparatively few tour
lists could confirm this statement from
personal knowledge, since the great ma
jOrfty of summer visitors HE themselves
to their city homes long before the au-
tumnal tints have added their varied
beauties to our mountain scenery. A
few tourists have remained with us this
season, however, and they have been re-
paid by the enjoyment of delightful
period of September weather. Whether
the result will be a boom for Vermont S
attractions for autumn visitors from the
large cities remains to be seen, but the
fact remains that our State has seldom
presented finer appearance than at
present.
The month of June in Vermont has at
fractions peculiarly its own. Nature,
which has just awakened from the win
ter's slumDer, puts forth new life; our
green hills take on deep, rich tinge;
verdure and bloom everywhere greet the
eye, while the air is fragrant with the
aroma of the fir and perfume of flowers.
1t is in the autumn, however, that nature
dons her most gorgeous apparel. The
foliage takes on varied and brilliant lines
80 that the landscape becomes one vast
panorama of color and beauty.
During the present month there has
been rare combination of June and
September weather which is as enjoyable
as could we'll be imagined. The absence
ofseverely hot weather and freqnentrains
have served to preserve the full tinge of
green in field and forest in an unusual
manner, yet the mellow autumn tints
have begun to appear sufficiently to i'm
part to the landscape that aspect which
delights the aesthetic eye. Summer Wis
itors are ever welcome in Vermont, but
tourists who wish to see the Green
Mountains in all their glory should stay
with us during bright and mellow Sep
