Much has been said and more could be
written about the cleanliness needed in the
stable where cows are kept All sorts of de
vices are invented for taking the filth out of
milk or treating the milk after it is found
impossible to get the filth out of it. Would
it not be far easier never to let the bad odors
get into the milk. Certainly it would be, but
how are wc to accomplish that: The only
way is to step putting cows on the ground
floor where the liquid manure gets into the
earth beneath ane makes a permanent and
lasting smell thot permeates everything
about the stable. Let the horses dry cows and
Young animals of the farm have the ground
floor and put the cows above with water
tight floor under their feet. Then keep those
cows clean with good bedding and the
manure they make taken away at least
twice a day. Everybody has seen this
system work well when it was the ambition
of the lairyman to keep the air of the
stable reasonably pure. Good butter and
good cheese must be made from good milk,
and this cannot be accomplished unless the
individual dairyman helps by having clean
stables

A Drunkard's Vote.

Are men whose heads are crazy with
ardent spirits fit to have control of the
dearest interests of society? Is there
not fallacy in the assumption that the
vote of sot is as good as that of So
Der man? Socrates, the Athenian phi.
losopher, promulgated the principle
that he is only fit to manage public
business who manages his own business
we'll. AS class, drunkards ruin those
interests over which they have control;
they neglect their business and squan.
der their estates. In republic, votes
are the helm of state; why should it be
intrusted to the hands of those who
ruin their own affairs by crime? Why
should they be allowed to imperil the
state? In Sweden, man who is seen
drunk four times is deprived of his
vote at elections. Here is the point to
strike. Cleanse the fountain and all
the outflow will be pure. If rum has a
right to vote, it has right to choose
its own representatives. BUNNY votes
elect rummy representatives, and rum.
my representatives make rummy laws.
Rum admitted into the government
will not cast out rum; devil will not
destroy devil; Satan doth not cast out
Satan. To concede the right of drunk
enness to enter the penetralia of gov
eminent is to surrender to it the right
to stay there.-Rev. J. C. Wightman, in
Union Signal.

Dangerous Help.

God intended us all to be busy. The
sun and moon in six thousand wears
have rested only part of day: and then
1t took miracle to stop them. Moth
ing that God ever made, animate or in.
animate, human or angelic, can afford
to quit work. But the outlay of human
energy often leads to inebriation. Men
have so much to do that they think
they must have artificial stimulus.
Vast multitudes of professional men
have found their nervous system ex.
hausted, and their brain lethargic, and
have resorted to this dangerous help.
Now what man cannot do without
perpetual stimulant do not believe he
ought to do. You are responsible for
no more streng6. than that which you
have in your arm, and for no more
speed than you have in your foot, and
for no more vivacity than you have in
your brain. God asks no more, and the
world has a right to expect no more.
Notwithstanding this, some of the most
brilliant men in the law and medicine,
yea, even in the ministry, have fallen
overheard. 1t will be glorious day
for Britain and the United States when
all their professional men and artisans
shall throw the bottle out of the back
window. 1t may require struggle;
but what great and grand and glorious
thing was ever done without struggled

ing People.
In survey of the imperial statistics
of the consumption of alcoholic drinks
in Germany, DR.. William Bode says
that the production of the raw material
manufactured into wine, beer or spirits
occupies about one-fifteenth of the
cultivated land of the empire On this
area of farming land enough rye might
be grown to supply $500 millions of
pounds of bread, which would make 66
pounds of bread more year to every
one of the so, o0O,0 600 of people inhabit-
ing Germany, or $50 pounds to an aver
age family of five persons, which is the
entire food needed by the family for
nearly fifty days. or about one-e;ghth
more of food than they can enjoy ut
present. One-fourteenth Of ali the pro-
ductive forces of Germany is engaged
in this pernicious industry. The amount
of money spent on drink has been esti-
mated at about 1920, Oo0, 600 a year, or
S2.40 to each inhabitant. or $12 to each
average family Of FIVE. Prot. Schmol-
