FNaLANp's nRuNKARns.

The British Parliament has before II the
report OF a committee recommending a much
more drastic method OF dealing with drunk
ards than British law now permits This
committee was appointed under the Sails
bury Government and has among il mem-
bers several eminent physicians and tho
Superintendent OF the Broadmore Criminal
Lunatic Asylum. Under an act passed in
1879 there were established some retreats or
reformatories for the treatment and cure of
drunkards who chose to 20 to them volun-
tarily. This committee finds that n consid-
cradle part OF the drunkards who enter these
reformatories are cured and that more
would be ifthey remained longer therefore,
they recommend that Parliament give magis-
trates the power to send these diasomaniacs
to these retreats for period not exceeding
two years.
This commitment may be made on petition
OF the relatives OF the inebriate or at the
discretion OF the magistrate, and it subjects
the drunkard to "A rigorous discipline and
close confinement IL necessary. A drunk
ard may still be admitted 10 these re-
treats on his own petition, but once in ne
must stay there until discharged as cured.
He may select his own retreat, whether SEN
fenced or voluntarily going there, and such
property as he has would be liable for his an 1
MS familys maintenance during his confine-
ment. The poorer classes are to be provided
for out OF the public treasury or in public
ttHN iulilS.
The semi-criminal claes OF habitual drunk
ards with whom the police have TO deal are
TO be subject to an indeterminate sentence,
which shall not be less than a year, upon
their third conviction for drunkenness or
being proved guilty of i'll treatment or neg
| lect Of their families. 1t is also proposed
| TO give police in the large towns and cities
| the power to arrest without warrant al
| persons found drunk on the public streets OF
in public places and lock them up until they
can be tried before magistrate
These last suggestions Of the committee are
| regarded as bold and almost revolutionary
for the right of the Briton 10 be drunk on tn,
streets has been regarded as an inalienablC
| one. Public sentiment is said, however, tC

mittee, which are largely based on the legis-
lation in force in several Of our States, and
they are likely to be enacted by the Com,
mons, and probably by the Lords also. New

Salton Sea Agaia.

II is said that Salton Sea, which, two
wears ago, was formed by the overflow
of the Colorado River in the desert of
Arizona, is likely TO be there again
soon. A cattle man, who is well
acquainted with the region, says that
the river is again overfowing into the
desert, and is likely to do so for a
long time, as there have been very
heavy SHOWS in Montana, Idaho and
Utah, at the headwaters of the river,
the melting of which has caused the
present overflow. The last overflowis is
the first in twenty years, but there is
every indication that it has been COM
mon in the past, and that the present
desert was in former times a great
lake. which there is nothing 20 pre-
vent its being again, if water enough
runs in TO ill it. He says: 'When
the overflow of two years ago occurred
the water followed the identical chan

THE TINE TO CUT BUSHES.

Any time is good one to cut bushes
to destroy the growth. If the leaves
can be prevented from growing one
season, the bushes will die, but other
wise they may be cut down TO the
roots every year for lifetime and
every spring they will sprout again.
The cutting should begin at once, and
as fast as the new sprouts appear these
should be removed. But the most
effective way to rid the land of any
kind of brush is TO take out the roots
by means of heavy plow and mat
took. It is more work at the begin
ming, but a saving in the end. New

MODERN HAY-MAKING.

On our large Western farms, where
the hay harvest continues for any CON
siderable length of time, the four-foot
mower has been replaced by one with
a six or seven foot cutter bar. The
eight-foot rake has given way to one
of twice the width. Other implements
have been added. Glover grows in
such luxuriance in the fertile Iowa soil
that the tedder is indispensable The
loGler saves time and hard labor.
Stacking in the open air has proved to
be very costly method Of preserving
hay, and our prairies are becoming
thickly dotted with hay barns, into
which the hay is placed by horse

in "A great measure, and haying may
now be justly considered an art. By
utilizing the improved machinery, and
following improved methods, one man

quired two men.

crew for n large farm consists of four
men, and two boys ten to fourteen
years old. With the wide cut-mower,
it is not necessary to begin cutting be-
| fore o'clock in the afternoon. This
is easier tor the horses, more comfort
able to the man who drives them, and
much better for the hay if il contains
much clover. Enough can be cut be-
tween and o'clock to keep ahead of
tho wagons until the next afternoon.
One man does the moving and tedding,
and what little raking there is to do,
and still has time to help considerably
in moving away the hay in the barn.
The boys drive the wagons. Two men
stay in the field and do the loading,
and one stays at the barn to manage
the horse fork and keep the hay moved
back. Three teams and one good horse
are necessary, the latter being used at
the barn for unloading. When the boy
comes in with load, he leads the
horse, which is attached to the fork,
taking the load off his wagon while the
other one is being loaded in the fields.
The time consumed in loading is a
little more than that for unloading,
and this allows the man at the barn 30
scatter the hay in the NOV. Whether
he can keep up this end of the work
depends on the distance to haul and
the amount of hay in the barn.
Hay is made very rapidly and cheap.
ly in this way. With the force men
toned there is very little time lost.
Everything runs smoothly, and little
energy is wasted. The hay is put in
the barn at the rate of fifteen to twenty
tons per day, and at a cost of forty-fve
to sixty cents per ton, varying, of
course, with the weather. On the farms
of the Atlantic and Central States this
tedder, loader and horse fork are com.
ing into increasing favor, but the av.
erage farmers of those regions manage
the work with two, or at most three,
the loader not only save time and
money, but the hay is secured in much
better condition. The tedder shakes
the grass, and gives the air a chance
to circulate through it, and dry it
evenly and quickly, without burning.
The loader follows, and takes the hay
out of the swath, hence the leaves are
not shaken of, as when it is raked.
Hay barns are becoming deservedly
popular. No buildings on the farm so
quickly repay the money invested. A
good hay barn, holding fifty tons of
hay, can be erected for one hundred
to onehundred and twenty five dollars,
and not infrequently enough is saved
by its use in one year to entirely cover
the cost. The saving occurs in three
ways. First, the time and labor saved
during the harvest season, to say moth
ing of the advantage of putting every
load under roof, and having no open
stacks to be caught by sudden showers.
Second, the elimination of the large
waste on top and sides that follows
stacking. There is practically no waste
whatever with the hay barn. Third,
the saving of labor in feeding the hay
during the winter. This last is con-
siderable item, for it often means the
board and wages of one man during
the winter months By putting aplain,
strong manger or rack around the barn,
one man can do the work of two work
ing in the old way.-American Agri-

RAISING FARM TEAMS.

Farmers too often sell the best
horses and content themselves with
any sort of team on the farm as
being of little consequence, and too
often even sell good grade mares that
would raise fine colt and do better
work than any other horse on the
farm, but the buyer offers a good
price and the best producer on the
farm is sold.
English and French farmers have
pure bred draught mares to proftably
do the farm work and raise colt
every year that pays the rent. Mr.
McLain, at Kansas Farmers Insti-
tute, advocated breeding high class
horses and having good teams on the
farm. He said:
1t is impossible to estimate the
difference between n good and poor
team on farm. One means success,
the other means failure. am asked
to say which breed of horses 1 con-
slider the most promising to raise for
sale. 1 suppose, of course, they mean
for the farmers in this section,
engaged, as they are, in profitable
farming. 1 would say that if one-half
of the farmers here kept an account
and knew Just what their horses cost
them when grown and ready to work
they would find that they have cost
them more than they could be sold for.
l would say, for most farmers, to raise
(if for sale draught horses. Ny
reasons are the following:
/. Early maturity Drsught horses
can be gotten on the market one year
younger than a warm blooded horse.
2. They are easily broken. 1t takes
less time to fit them for market. They
do not require such perfect condition
as a driving horse.
3. Then, too, if by chance they have
slight blemish they will pass muster
where such blemish would unfit {
driver for market.
4. 1t don't require any more feed tc
raise big draught horse than it does
n smooth, warm blooded horse.
Now, TO sum up, would say, if yor

some pure breed. l am anxious tina

The slaughter Of Elephants.

In Zanzibar alone, some 100000
pounds of ivory are brought every sea-
son TO the market. There are tusks
among them weighing from 100 to 160
pounds, and ever more, but, of course,
the tusks are mostly small, for il is
much easier TO trap or kill young
elephant than an old one. Let us say
that on an average every tusk weighs
twenty to twenty-five pounds. The
tusks of 10, 200 elephants are brought
annually TO Zanzibar.
