National Drinks

A writer in The Fortnightly Review
for January, John Holt Schooling, has
presented some comparative statements
concerning drinks in the United States,
England, France and Germany. They
yield thefollowing results: In France the
total consumption of beer. spirits and
wine for drink in the year 1900 was 1886
gallons for every 10 of the population; in
the United Kingdom 1872 gallons; in Ger
many, 800 gallons, and in the United
States, l47 gallons for every 10 inhabi-
tants.
The great difference in the drinking
habits of these nations is seen in their re-
spective consumption of spirit and fer
mented liquors. A further analysis of the
statistics shows that the consumption of
wine in France was 254 gallons to every
10 inhabitants, of deer 81 gallons, and of
spirits 20 gallons. In Germany the ac-
count stands: Fifteen gallons Of wine. 2l5
of beer, and 10 of spirits. In the United
Kingdom: Four gallons Of wine, BIZ Of
beer and IL of spirits. in the United
States; Three gallons of wine, i3S Of beer
and IL of spirltsfor every 10 inhabitants.

The cost Of growing corn, cutting 1t
and putting 1t in the silo has been vari-
ously reported at almost all figures
from 81 to So per ton, says American
Cultivator. We do not doubt but that
it has been done for the smaller sum
when the land has been made rich and
we'll cultivated and the most modern
improvements were at hand to do the
work, but we think fair average
would be nearer double that with the
ordinary farmer even in a favorable
season. But there are not many who
would like to grow roots for feeding to
stock at that price. Certainly we know
Of none who would grow them to sell
at that price, and few would care to
grow them at 81 per ton II they could
grow other crops and find ready cash
market for them. AS regards the value
Of them, an average Of the various
roots shows that the same amount of
each fed with equal rations Of hay and
grain resulted little in favor Of the
roots, but this was more than Offset by
the, two facts that the roots cannot be
kept in as good condition for late
spring or summer feeding as can the
ensilage and that there is more apt to
be n crop failure from drought or other
causes with the roots, than with the
corn. The drohghts of the two past
years have led many to believe that
having ensilage to feed in the summer,
when pastures are growing poorer. is
Of almost as much Importance, and
some say more. than having it In the
