NO=LICENSE A HOME MAKER.

One of the strongest proofs Of the
value of temperance to state is
shown in the analysis of the census
nineteen cities where license has pre-
vailed during the past ten years the
average gain in population has been
.266 per cent, as against the fourteen
no-license cities with an average gain
Of All per cent, the respective gain
for five years being Jos and .159 per
cent. Seventy per cent of the 202
cities and towns which have increased
in population during the past decade
have been no. license places. Seven
ty-seven per cent of the PA places
showing a gain in five years have been
nolicense cities and towns.
It is interesting to note that of the
ten places showing the largest gain in
ten years, nine voted out the saloon
nearly every year, and that of the ten
places having the greatest gains for
five years, eight were for no license.
The towns of Winthrop and Everett
enjoy the distinction of having made
the greatest proportionate gain in the
ten years and they are as free from
the saloon as any towns in the state
The largest increase has been in sub
urban and trolley car towns, but the
same tendency is observed in the way
of seeking for homes in places where
the saloon is unpopular and where
the public policy is for its absolute
Punishment.
When the people grasp with intel
ligence the fact that wealth, health
and happiness wait upon the suppress
sion of the liquor traffic, then will be
near its actual realization.

quently make it easy for a young girl
to be led into downward path. Par
ents often forget that too much
shelter against the world is prone to
weaken, rather than strengthen either
the girl or the boy.
Yet how difficult it is for either
father or mother to train their chill
Gren on these or other important
relations in life. The mothers judg-
ment is usually the better. This is
cheerfully granted by fathers who
have had large experience and success
in bringing up a family Yet so
thoughtless are many intelligent par
ents that their daughters are allowed
to be on the street evenings unaccom-
panied, and subjected to the tenden-
cies of such a course without even
being warned against them. Or if
parents do realize this danger, they
often seem helpless to provide the
interesting amusement or society
that the girl seeks on the street. That
this is true of educated and we'll to do

are familiar with the subject.-Good

Glover Seed.

Glover seed IS now in the market,
be making his purchases for the
spring seeding. In this connection
some figures sent out by the Vermont
experiment station will be interesting.
Out of many samples of clover seed
bought last year in Vermont markets
and examined by the experiment sta
ton, sixty one per cent were below
the official standard of purity. Some
samples were seriously off color. This
is a bad showing and calculated to
make the farmer scratch his head and
think.
The worst feature of the case is that
what is not clover seed is apt to be
largely weed seed. Some of the worst
weeds which the farmer has to fight
are bought at the store in the package
with the clover seed, and cost him six
dollars bushel. There may be thou
sands of weed seeds in every pound.
One sample sold in Vermont last year
contained the enormous number of
$3.50 weed seeds to every pound of
clover seed! The weeds most COM
monty purchased in this way are green
fox-tail, pigweed, redstem plantin,
smartweed, English plantin, sheep
sorrel, and curled dock.
The only way to be sure Of getting
good clover seed is to examine it with
a magnifying glass. One can see
most of the weed seeds with small
hand lens. Or a sample may be sent
to the experiment station, Burlington,
where such things are examined free,
as far as possible.

OUR FARMERS.
HELPING OUT THE HAY CROP.

The intelligent, hustling farmer who
applies business princiles in his call
ing will see that his corn crop is har-
vested at the right time, thereby fur
nishing a forage as we'll as grain
crop. He will also see that his oat
crop is cut before it is dead ripe, thus
furnishing him with good quality of
straw. The corn fodder and straw
should be placed under cover if posi-
BILE, or carefully stacked. Now to
make the most and best possible use
of this fodder a good fodder cutter is
needed. This implement is a great
saver of feed and will often pay for
itself in single season. Those who
must buy cutter, will, I think, do
we'll to get one that will crush as we'll
be cut quite short, and if not crushed
also the hard, sharp edges will cause
the mouths Of cattle to become sore
so they will not do we'll. The oat
straw should be run through the cut
ter and mixed with the cut corn stalks.
This cut feed will make a very good
substitute for hay, and by it's use tons
of hay may be saved and turned into
cash at price that will leave a good
profit to the farmer. The grain ra-
ton may be fed with the cut feed by
moistening the whole, OR it may be
fed separate, which is perhaps just as
we'll. The hard butts of the corn
stalks that will not be eaten will make
the very best of bedding, as it will be
in good condition to absorb the liquids.
This latter fact ought to be worth the
trouble of running the fodder through
the cutter. Now all this means far
more work than it would be to follow
the old custom of turning the stock
out IN the morning to hustle around
the straw stack all day, with some
corn stalks thrown out to them at
noon, but it is work that will be we'll
paid for at the prices hay and other
farm products are likely to command
the coming year.-Prairie Farmer.

Brain.fOOd Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent au-
thorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind of food is
needed for brain, another for muscles,
and still another for bones. A correct
diet will not.only nourish ia particular
part of the body, but it will sustain
every other part. Yet, however good
youf food may be, its nutriment is des-
troyed by indigestion or dyspepsia.
