Greatest Curse of the world.

Bishop Galloway's message to the Ep-
worth League on the drink traffic was az
follows: "My creed is mental suason for the
man who, drinking, can think, moral
suasion for the drinking man who does not
think, and jail suasion for the trafflcker OF
liquor. No law enforces itself. We may lash
ourselves into fury, we may shout and
preach, but the good is lost when we stay
away from the polls. We must demand the
enforcement of the laws. Let citizens of
every color, race, politics and creea unitein
the effort against the saloon. Let usu unite to
secure, not only the euthronement, but the
enforcement Of the law that will save the
youth of the country from the greatest
,urse of the world.''

gin traffic. And the Governor In a labored
argument proved to them that the gin
traffic was "vested interest" in which
many Of his fellow subjects in England had
embarked much wealth. or course, under
such circumstances, the gin trade must be

The Economic Aspects.

Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills. sue
cessor to Henry Ward Beecher, In his book,
"a Mans Value to Society,"" says:
statistics reckon the average mans
value at 5000 year. Each worker in
wood, iron or brass stands for an engine or
Industrial plant worth 1000. producing
at six per cent, an income OF 5000. The
de tth OF the average workman, therefore,
Is equivalent to the destruction OF $40, 900
mill or engine. The economic loss through
the nor productivity OF 10000 drunkards
is equal to one Chicago fire involving two
hundred millions"

Our Plague Infested Cities.

The immoral condition Of our great cities

John G. Woolley, In the Voice. l read an
Interview with New York millionaire the

that nearly all the men of affairs, success
full business men, and men in professional
life In our great cities, were boys that came
from the farm or we're reared In the small
town. Helamented the fact that rich mems
sons reared In the city seldom amounted to
much. And he wondered why. Well. II
the poor old innocent does not know, I'll
tell him why. 1t is because the N oral tone
OF our great cities is so low, vice is so open,
so alluring, so tempting; the saloons, with
the gaming-table In the rear and the scarlet
woman upstairs, are so numerous, that II
Is almost impossible to raise boy In the
city without sending him to hell. God pity
the tempted boy tina. walks the streets OF
an American city after the fall of night

QUAINT AND CURIOUS.

It is a common experience among
mountain elm bers to find butterflies
lying frozen on the snow and so brit
tie that they break unless they are
very carefully handled. Such frozen
butterflies ON being taken to a warmer
climate recover themselves and fly
away. Six species of butterflies have
been found within a few hundred miles

Whales teeth form the coinage OF
the FIJI Islands. They are painted
white and red, the red teeth being
worth about twenty times as much as
the white. The native carries his
wealth round his neck, the red and

common and curious sight in the FIJI

William Smith, who was released a
few days ago from the state peniten-
tiary in Colorado where he had served
a two-year term for obtaining money
under false pretences, found rather
interesting reception awaiting him out
side of the prison gates, where he was
immediately arrested Oh a charge OF
larceny. This offence was committed
before he had served his two-yea1
term. On account of the poor health
of the prisoner Judge Palmer exer-
cised great lenity in sentencing him.
The deputy sheriff marched him to the
county Jail, where he was sentenced
to languish for term of one minute.
An interesting antiquarian discov'
cry is reported off the east coast, at
Sandemere, England. During the
last low tides the ebb has been assisted
by persistent favorable winds to such
an extent that large tracts of coast
have been left bare and cleared of
shingle, so as to expose the peat for
observation, with the result that the
habitat Of an oldworld colony of lake
dwellers has been revealed. The old
piles are standing, and the rough
hewn tree-trunks of the platform are
still there, showing the tool marks and
evidences of morticing and jointinS.
Another colony OF lake-dwellers is
known to have existed near by.

pie. He said all the other boys in his
regiment were in the same fix. Just
before Philips reached Mulvane the
women of the town joined together
and cooked pie six feet in length
and four feet wide. 1t was placed on
a table in the centre of the opera house
and all the people in town gathered to
meet the returning soldier. The con-
dition was made that he eat the whole
pie that night He had no trouble in
fulfilling it and called for more.

and such selections from time to time as
best suited Mr. Stannard. Within the past
two years he has recruited and sold from
the Sunrise Stock Farm over 500 head of
registered animals, bringing prices far be-
yond the average received by many of his
co-workers in breeding HerefOrds. The COM
bined herd now aggregates over 500 head,
hence the 100 selected for the forthcoming
sale can safely be regarded as the tops. If
the reader will consult a copy of the sale
catalogue and sean the pedigrees he will
find the offering is in all respects the peer
of any in this country. Among the bulls
that will be offered is Kodak of ROckland
4O73l, a grandson on his paternal line of
Anxiety 4th 1904 and on his maternal line
a g. g. three times to Vulcan 66l. He was

remarkable and successful show yard ca

CultlvatIng Orchards

One of the most important conditions to
insure thrift is soil mellow and cool in
hot and dry weather, yet how frequently
may trees be seen growing in sod together
with some crop that does not require culti-
vation. Such trees quickly outlive their
usefulness, and their stunted branches can
only produce under-sized and immature
fruit.
The old trees are expected to live on o
small allowance of food 1t is forgotten
that the roots of tree have to get their
food from nearly the same soil year after
year, and in the case of sod land, even this
food must be divided.
To have good fruit, health and vigor must
be encOuraged-not rank growth, which
might be induced by overfeeding, for this is
opposed to fruit bearing.
For most moderate-sized orchards or gar
dens, it would be desirable to commence
cultiyating by plowing between the rows
in late fall, but in light soils, summer har-
rowing is sufficient. Judgment must be ex-
eTcised, as to the extent of cultivation, de-
pending on the condition of the trees. Ex-
perience must teach how far from the tree
trunk the roots extend, for care must be
taken not to disturb them during the sum
mer or feeding time
Good stable manure may be spread on the
surface of the soil after the latter is frozen,
provided the ground is comparatively level

ReatOrlng Worn-Out Land.

II is not such difficult matter to restore
rundown or worn-out farm as some peo.
pie imagine, 1t simply requires little
practical and scientific knowledge put into
operation by man who isn't easily dis
couraged, Many poor man has made his
mark in farming on just such worn-out
farms. II is possible to-day for farmer to
take worn-out farm and build il up to
paying basis, supporting himself mean
while. Farms of this character can be pur-
chased reasonably cheap in many parts of
the country, or they can be rented for a
long term of years, with renewal clause
attached.
The first thing to do in restoring such a
farm is to get crop of some green stuff.
In my experience have always found that
it is easy to start crop of oats by fall
blowing scratching the ground just enough
TO cover the seeds little. Then by the
following spring, when the oats are up, they
should be plowed under. This makes a
good starter, and then, by adding crops of

by Keeping some one year old and some
two year old hens you can have fresh eggs
the year round by furnishing them warm
house and fair treatment in cold weather,
They will stay and be contented in small
yard and are not inclined to roam as much
as other kinds of fowls. Their flesh is fine

they will not bring quite as high prices as

KeepInr Toola In Order.

Tools that are dull and out of repair are
a great drawback in doing good work on
the farm. The better the work is done the
better the crops will be. The farmer must be
a mechanic to a certain extent, at least in
the use of his own tools, and by the use Of
a little care he can usually keep them in
fairly good repair. Money paid to the
blacksmith for sharpening the plow or do
ing necessary repairs in advance Of a break.
down will be well expended and pay a large
interest on the investment. Breakdowns in
machinery generally come when everybody
is in hurry and the loss of time and work
amounts at such time to much more than
the cost of repairs. A little foresight in
making repairs may prevent vexatious
delay from an untimely breakdown.

Selling Good Cows.

When a farmer is offered large price
for good COW it is often quite temptation
to sell her. But the farmer should con-
slider that the cow is worth Just as much
to him as to the person who offers him
the large price, and that is poor policy to
sell the. good cows and keep the inferior
ones. The poor cows should be weeded out
and disposed of, and the good cows retained.
In that way the herd will be getting better
and better all the time instead of running
down, as it must if the good cows are sold
and the poor ones retained.

the calves hay tea with little milk in it.
We thought then that it was done as a
matter of necessity and economy in order
to save the milk and make more butter
The calves thrived upon it and were healthy
and apparently happy. The fact is that
the hay tea was the extract of hay and it
was feeding them the natural food for cattle
in a condensed form. The brightest and
best hay was selected and put in large
iron kettle, covered with water and stepped
over slow fire until all the strength was
drawn out of the hay. A little milk was
mixed with it and it was fed to the calves
while warm. They drank it with hearty
relish and grew to be large and useful cows
and oxen.

SC the fertilizing constituents may not be
washed away. AS the feeding roots are
principally on the outside, the manure need
not be spread at the base of large trees, but
in circle several feet therefrom. Another,
but more laborious method, is to dig shall
low trenches running toward the base of the
tree, and fill in well-rotted or composted
manure.
Root-pruning, to make too vigorous trees
more productive, and top-pruning to thin
out old wood, letting light and air amongst
the branches, are also good subjects for the
amateur to Look intO.--Meechans Monthly.
