Insanity and Drink.

Some remarkable statements were made

ETY. for the Study OF Inebriety, at the Brit.
ish Medical Society's ofllce in London. In
an address upon acquired insanity In Its
relation to intemperance In alcohol Lieu.
tenant-Colonel Surgeon Pringle said the
question OF insanity following excessive
use OF alcohol formed one OF the most I'm.
portant to the nation at the present day,
and II was the duty OF the medical profess
zion to train the public mind so as to pre-.
vent people from lapslng into permanent
insanity through drink. The terrible In.
crease OF insanity appeared to have fallen
over London like an epidemic. Tho IN
crease could not be due to any appreclabe
extent to cases becoming publicly treated
which few years ago were privately
treated. The cause would have to be
looked for elsewhere. Where insanity was
directly traceable to alcohol, It was not
caused by the moderate, but by the intem.

should be brought to view In its proper

practically like the beasts that perish.

recluse, neither entertaining himself
nor showing himself at other peoples

indisputably as Hospitality laden and

exposure of it to the air tends to the
decomposition and the neutralizing OF
the suspected organic matter in it.
There is nothing the matter with the
water of q clear, swiftly flowing brook
in which speckled trout will live.
The water drunk is absorbed direct
ly into the blood. OF course it can
not help but take into the bloG with
it all the impurities that are dissolved
in it, and many of those not dissolved,
but suspended in it on account of
their exceedingly small bulk. Con-
sequently the water must be pure or it
becomes a source of infection and pro-
duces disease.
Water from sandstone or slate rock
is generally pure and may be used
with safety. Where salt marsh ex-
lists, or some natural salt lick, used by
deer and buffalo when these animals
covered the plains, there the water is
not only good for drink, but has an
excellent effect otherwise in preserv-
ing the general health of the flock.
II food is that which supports the
life of an animal and increases growth
and weight, then water must be food,
and its condition is to be thought of
precisely as we think of the solid food.
We think very much of the quality of
the solid food, but mostly anything is
drink which is water, whatever its
condition may be, This is mistake
that should be corrected at once.
1t is also true that we'll water may be
equally injurious. Water from lime
stone, especially if magnesia is mixed
with it, produces various troublesome
diseases, one of which is exceedingly
common. This is that swelling OF the
glands of the throat which is known
as goitre. The soft, baggy swelling
may be due to other causes as well,
but it is quite often due to water con-
tanning too much lime and magnesia.
As the water is of such Importance it
will pay TO go to some trouble to pur-
ify it if there is any question of its
character. Toexpose water to the air
has purifying effect on it. II there
is an excess Of alkali in it this is neu-
trAlized and its injurious effects other
wise are avoided. So when the
water Is charged with organic matter
it nav be filtered through sand in any
convenient way, and will thus be made
safe for use. - American Sheep

Wen balanced RatIon..

About the most difficult problem with
which the owner of cows has to CON
tend is to obtain ration that shall be
we'll balanced and economical. The
use of root crops and fodder is neces-
sary as part of well-balanced
ration, and little trouble is experienced
in feeding them intelligently. The
grain ration is the rock ON which most
dairymen split. The following mix
lures have been found TO be almost
perfect as well-balauced and economi-
cal when judged from the results of
feeding several herds and the effects
on them as a whole.
One hundred pounds each of corn
meal and either wheat bran, mixed
feed or chopped feed, seventy-iive
pounds of cotton seed meal or linseed
meal. Mix and feed eight to ten
quarts day to thousand-pound AMI
NAL.
Any of the gluten feeds now on the
market are in themselves well-balanced
rations and should be fed at the rate
of five or six quarts daily.
Fifty pounds each of linseed meal
aud cotton seed meal mixed with one
hundred pounds oat feed, or chopped
feed, is a first class ration fed seven
or eight quarts daily.
One hundred pounds of corn meal
and fifty pounds of bran and cotton
seed meal should be mixed and fed at
the rate Of seven or eight quarts daily.
Naturally some of the cows will do
better than others on any of these ra-
tions, but the average results will be
found satisfactory.

Temperance is the rule, 1t appears, all

some objection to this method on the
score of the fodder molding in the NOV.
If it is thoroughly dried out before it
is shredded there is little danger from
this source. The practical experience
of many farmers and feeders has
proven this. True, the shredding is
expensive, due to the limited capacity

being made each season, and this OBJ

Pierre Lott, the French naval off,
cer-novelist, makes the statement that
toads are antipathetic to rats. In his
Letters From Lands of Exile" he
tells how every night his man placed
at his cabin door wire cage contain
ing three live toads, in order to keep
off the rats, which otherwise made
forays on his boots and gloves.
"It is" he says, "a wrinkle Ipicked
up from some English sailors. The
rats, it seems, seeing the toads, are
frightened and do not come in"
According to this, live toads are
more effectual than broken glass or
poison placed in the runways of the
rats. For they generally manage to
remove the one and fail to touch the
other. They circumvent the cat, they
evade the ferret, and a good terrier is
unable to follow them into their holes.
Toads are plenty, and housekeepers
whose cellars are infested, farmers
whose barns are overrun, will at least
find the remedy worth trying.
