Norman Kerr, NJ. D., in the third edition
ofhis "lnebriety OF Narcomnia,' referring to
the stages ofinebriety and alcoholic heredity,
says
"The operation Of no natural law is more
patent than Is the operation Of the law OF al
coholic heredity. A drunken mother, a
drunken father, a drunken grandparent may
hand down to their descendants an alcoholic
stain which not even lifetime OF entire alb
stinence from intoxicating drinks can eradi-
cate. have known men and women, OF the
highest culture and the most irreproachable
morals, OF strong will and deep thought, OF
unaffected piety and exalted aim, who have
been compelled by bitter experience TO
Acknowledge to themselves the SOLDERING fact
that they could never dare to daily with
strong drink. The continuous and victorious
struggle of such heroic souls with their
hereditary enemy-an enemy the more pow
erful because ever lending its treacherous
life within their breasts, presents to my mind
such q glorious conflict, such an august
spectacle, as should evoke the highest efforts
OF the painter and the sculptor. Before so
protracted and so lofty a combat, the i'm
mortal group of LAGOON contending with
the serpents, grand though that great work
OF artis, must pale its Intellectual fires.
I'm this comprehensive group OF cases Of
habitual drunkenness with an inherited pre-
disposition, inebriety has also physical be-
ginning.
"It has been pleaded that 10 coneede in
ebriety to be a physical disease will result in
the inebriate believing that his conduct is
beyond his control that he is irresponsible
for his inebriate indulgence, and that there
is no chance Of his deliverance from a career
Of drunkenness. This plea, even if well
founded, cannot be allowed as recognition of
truth ought not TO be dependent on the
pleasantness of the consequences. A fact is
not invalidated by the character Of the effects
resulting from its acknowledgment. The
plea, too, is itself unsound. So far from riv-
citing the chains Of inebriety on the inheritor
dition will indicate the adoption of such
regimen and mode of life as will promote
physical, intellectual and moral health, as
will decrease the morbid arrangement while
increasing the power Of resistance and con-

HOW CREAM is RIPENEp.

The cream is best SKINNED when
rather thick, that is, when it may be
almost rolled up on the pan and lifted
IN a sort of cake. 1t will then con.
tain about twenty per cent. of milk,
and some milk must then be poured
into the cream jar with the cream, and
the whole stirred to mix the two in
timately, This stirring is done every
time the cream is added, and the third
milking should be the last before the
cream is churned. The cream will
ripen of itself if it is kept in a warm
place all this time, not less than sixty
degrees of temperature. At the end CT
this time the surface will glisten like
satin when it is stirred, and this is a
good indication ofiits full ripening for
the churning. Otherwise, the cream
may be set on the addition of the last
cream, by mixing half a pint of the
buttermilk from the last can, churn-
ing to five gallons of the cream and
stirring it well; then, at a tempera.
ture of sixty or sixty-fve degrees, the
cream will be ready for churning in
twelve hours. This will yield the
finest favored butter, that is fit for
the table in q few hours after it is
made, or for some tastes it is churned
for every meal, and eaten as it is
churned. Cream thus ripened will
make very delicately favored but

" The Pleasure Of KilIlng.v

Captain Q. A. w. Donovan, who has
recently made hunting trip through
Matabeleland, Africa, bes written a
book describing his experiences He
betrays in the most delightfully."- naive
way that delight in slaughter for
slaughter's own sake which is char
acteristio of many nominally civilized
huntsmen. Here is fine illustration
of this popularity;
"While crossing Spring-bok Flats,
we had great hunt after troop of
the nimble little bucks which give the
district its name 1t was pretty sight
TO see them galloping along aud maxi
ing the marvellous springs into the air
from which their name is derived. To
watch them thus was to me-to whom
everything was new-almost as inter
esting as to shoot them. / should have
enjoyed another day after them, as
the open country in which they delight
makes it possible to watch every turn,
twist and jump of the herd. And, af-
ter all, seeing new animals in their
natural condition is almost equal to
the pleasure of killing them"

to join and attend regularly the in
terestinR meetings of such societies as
this. Those who make a success in
fruit growing do so by intelligent in
dustry. IL has been said eff man
would know anything he must think;
if he would have anything he must
work" Now il he will do either, all
things are SO arranged that he may re-
ceive rich rewards.
From the earliest times men have
turned TO the soil for their support.
The products were few because their
wants were few. In process of time
agriculture was divided into depart
ments The man who cultivated field
crops on large scale was called
husbandman or agriculturist. Others
that cultivated fruits, roots and vege-
tables weBe called horticulturists, and
one branch of the latter is my subject.
Fruit is the poor mans friend,
the rich mans luxury, the laborer's
physician, and the foe to
quack doctors. There is no more
royal road to health than that lined
by trees of ripened fruit. The growth
of trees, whether in the forest, or in
the orchard, takes from the soil the
necessary nutriment both for the for.
nation of wood and the development
of fruit. To secure the most satisfac-
tory development of fruit requires
health and vigor of wood. But the
growth of trees in soil continually
cropped in soil exhaustion, and if con-
tinued for term of years with no re-
storation of fertilizing material, the
conditions become unfavorable to any
healthy growth of wood fibre. II is
under such conditions as these that
fruit rapidly deteriorates or fails of
production.
The orchard set in young trees
should be cultivated annually and
some fertilizing material applied for
the benefit of the trees as we'll as the
vegetables or small fruit raised, until
the trees come into bearing; then the
cultivation should cease for q time.
Fruit trees require care and nutri-
ment, and without these the results
are not satisfactory. Healthfulness is
indicated by vigorous growth and
foliage of dark green, and when these
conditions exist the fruit will be found
smooth and of good size. Orchards
may be fertilized by spreading ma
nure over the surface of the ground,
especially that portion of it through
which the roots of the trees extend.
Potash is valuable fertilizer for all
kinds of fruit and can be applied in
the form of unleached wood ashes, and
being largely soluble are easily con-
veyed to the roots and Immediately
appropriated to profitable use.
We would lay down these rules in
commencing: Select a situation best
adapted for the purpose, taking every
thing into consideration. If not we'll
drained see that it is. Scatter we'll
composted manure over the ground,
plow deep, and then if you can get
them scatter wood ashes over the
ground and work them well into the
soil with harrow. And depend upon
it there is no amount of pains which
you can take in this respect that will
not amply repay you in the end. We
look upon it as of the utmost import
ance to the future welfare of the tree
that it should have good start in the
beginning and make an early and
rapid growth; this will enable it to
resist the attacks of disease and in
scots the better.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Charcoal is a good corrective of
bowel disorders i'll poultry.
Save the poultry droppings. Store
them where they will be kept dry.
Diversity, diversity. That is not
the only secret of success, but is essen
tial when no special crops will pay, as
is the case at present.
The first thing to do in the spring
is to apply liberal allowance of solu-
bic fertilizer on the asparagus bed, as
asparagus comes early in the spring.
1t is said that watermelons will keep
nicely until Christmas if they are cut
from the vine with the stems on and
buried in sand out of the way of frost.
Common sense will bring more eggs
than corn. Don't you forget that.
Whatever food you use mix it
thoroughly with common sense, or the
food will be wasted.
Buy farm machinery as cheap as
possible, but do not buy cheap ma
chinery. The poorly constructed ma
chine bought at low price is often
the most costly one in the long run.
Farmers who figure on their pro-
fits should endeavor to estimate the
expense incurred in loss of fertility
sold in the produce. This fertility
must be returned to the soil or the
succeeding crops will be lessened cor
Iespondingly.
Potash is essential to land bearing
fruits, and, therefore, ashes is a valu-
able fertilizer for such ground. In
using ashes use it alone, for it has
wonderful power of liberating some of
the most valuable elements in nitro
genous fertilizers.
! Farmers must have an ideal TO
which to work, and not be content to
go along "about as usual" There is
no success without an aim, and this
aim should be a high one and every
energy bent to it at all times This
is law of success everywhere.
The fact is now we'll established that
the cost of keeping a hen one year is
one dollar, and if she is any good, and
you feed her properly she will pay
back that dollar and give you another
in eggs. You can feed her more thsn
a dollars worth IN year if you
choose, but the kindness will be mis-
placed, for she will get too fat and
lazy to lay, hence your account will
balance on the wrong side.
Those who are starting incubators
for the first time will do we'll to ex-
pertinent with a small number of eggs
at first. My first experience with an
incubator was good-out of one thou
sand and eight eggs we got nine
hundred and three chicks. Chicks
can be kept too closely confined un-
der glass. If being reared without a
hen, they need some dark, quiet place
to retreat 10 frequently for sleep,
which is food to them.

Tonight it enters humble home to strike

morrow it challenges this republic In the halls

peace and order, the despoiler Of men, the
terror Of women, the cloud that shadows the
faces Of children, the demon that has dug
more graves and sent more souls unsaved to
Judgment than all the pestiences that have
wasted life since God sent the plaques to
Egypt, and all the wars since Joshua stood
beon d Jericho. II comes TO ruin, and II shall
profit mainly 10y the ruin of your sons and
mine. 1t comes TO mislead human souls and
to crush human hearts under its rumbling
wheels. 1t comes to bring gray-haired
mothers down in shame and sorrow to their
graves. 1t comes to change the wife's love
into despair. and her pride into shame. 1t
comes to still the laughter on the lips OF lit
tie child rem. 1t comes to stifie all the music
OF the home and fit it with silence and
desolation. 1t comes to ruin your body and
mind, to wreck your home, and it knows it
must measure its prosperity by the swlftness
and certainty with which II wrecks this
world-Hon. Henry W. Grady.

HOW TO RAISE YOUNG CHICKS.

When the chicks are all Matched
leave them under the hen undisturbed
for one day. They are tender and
delicate and need the vitalizing heat
of the mother. Let them remain with.
out food until the second day. When
the hen is taken from the nest dust
her thoroughly with fresh insect pow
der. Grease her legs lightly with
melted lard and apply two OF three
drops to the back of her neck. Do not
put any under her wings, as the chicks
ara apt to get it into their eyes, caus-
ing blindness. Lice pass from the
hen to the chicks, so if there is one
louise on the hen it is one too many.
The first four or five days feed stale
bread or cracker crumbs moistened
with sweet milk. Do not make it too
sloppy. The principal food should be
bread made of equal parts fine oat-
meal, bran, shorts and corn meal. Add
enough soda and salt to season, and
three teaspoonfuls of ground bone.
Mix with sweet milk and bake in the
oven. Crumble the inside of the bread
and feed it dry. Take the crust and
moisten with a raw egg until the whole
is a stiff dough. Young chicks will
keep healthy and grow fast on this
food. Egg is the natural food for
young fowls and should be given once
OF twice day. Raw egg will prevent
bowel trouble, while too much hard
boiled egg will produce it.
Eua1 I.
til the chicks are week old, then
four times day will do. Give them
all they will eat up clean but do not
leave any in the trough to sour. As
soon as chicks require food they re-
quire water. Milk may be given, but
it should be sweet. If the weather is
cold have the water tepid. Construct
the drinking dishes 80 that the chicken
can drink without getting wet. Never
feed raw corn meal to chicks. Bran is
better than corn meal, as it contains
more mineral matter and is one of the
best bone-forming foods that can be
given to growing fowls; but it should
always be scalded. As they grow
older feed grain, either whole or
cracked. Table scraps and garden
greens may also be given. Keep pull
verized charcoal and fine gravel within
their reach all the time. The young
chicks must be kept warm and dry un-
til they are six weeks old; a single
nights exposure may bring on bowel
disease. When this appears it is gen.
orally attributed to the food, but the
real cause is cold.
Do not keep the hen confined in q
coop unless it is large one, and then
only in bad, wet weather. 1t is almost
impossible to keep confined hen free
from lice. If she has her liberty she
will dust da ly and rid herself of the
pests, and the little chicks will learn
at an early age to wsllow in the dust.
Let them roam over the garden and
fields and they will gather large par
of their food, and benefit the farm
and garden by Kidding them of in
sects. American Agriculturist.

TEMPERANCE.

THE RUMshiLER ROLLS IN COLD.
Men starve as they toll in the black coal
mines,
Girls freeze as they stitch in the cold;
But in every land where the moonlight
shines,
The rumseller rolls in gold.
The laborer laboreth all his youth
For the poorhouse when he IL old,
And many the farmers tolls and fears;
But the rumseller rolls in gold.
Jack drinks his wages and staggers away
To his wife, the story is old
You may read the police reports next day
While the rumseller rolls i'm gold.
In a coifln Of pine lies the drunkard. dead,
Under the pauper mold,
And his orphans beg their daily bread
While the rumseller rolls in gold.

TOTAL AnsrA1NERs ONLY.

Very few persons take deep. constant
and self-sacrificing interest in temperance
reform except total abstainers. We do not
wish 20 underestimate the kindly sympathy
of moderate drinkers. who sincerely desire
to abate the ravages of intemperance. But
they are amateurs. Their sympathy is very
unsettled. They are willing neither to give
nor receive hard blows in this great strug-
gle between heaven and hell. The whole
burden OF the temperance movement has
always been borne by men aud women who
were willing to make what, after all. Is a
paltry sacrifice of this particular form of
self-indulgence 1t has always been incom-
prehensible TO us that any man should hest
tate for one moment TO do this small thing
for the sake of his church and his country.

HOW TO PAY RENT.

blacksmith was one day complaining 70
his iron merchant that such was the scarcity
of money he could not possibly pay his rent.
The merchant asked him how much whisky
or beer was used IN his family in the course
smith told him, whereupon the merchant
took out pencil and paper and made calcu-
lation, and showed the blacksmith that the
cost OF drink amounted to considerably more
in the year than his house rent.
The calculation so astonished the bltck-
smith that he determined from that day
neither to buy nor TO drink Intoxicating
liquors of any kind. In the course OF the
year following he not only paid his rent and
the iron merchant too, but had enough to
spare for a new suit of clothes.
