The New Law for DrunkardS.

The last general assembly of Iowa
passed a law for the treatment of ine-
briates. Under the new law the board
of control is directed to establish q
department for the detention and
treatment of inebriates in one or more
of our hospitals for the insane. The
dipsomaniac shall be arrested and
brought before the district court or
the judge, in vacation, and tried in
the same way as are incorrigibles for
the reformatory schools. The sentence
for the first commitment is not less
than one year nor more than three ; for
the second, the sentence is not less
than two years nor moro than five.
After the patient has been treated
for thirty days. if the physician and
superintendent of the institution so
recommend, the governor may parole
him, providing he signs pledge in
which he agrees to abstain from the
use Of Intoxicating liquors during the
remainder of his term. He must fur
ther promise to report to the governor
on the first day of each month of his
term. This report is filed with the
clerk of the district court of the coun-
ty in which the patient resides and
the clerk must certify that he believes
the patients report is true. When
the patient fails to report or violates
his pledge he is committed for his
full term without warrant. The
county pays the expense of detention
and commitment in the first instance,
but if the individual has property Of
his own, he is liable for all expenses.

tributed one person to this department.

Results of experiments in bench

two eyes on the scions and leaving
only one, preliminary callusing in
sand, planting out in the nursery i'm
mediately after grating and callusing
in straw covered with sand. The cut
tings used varied from one-fourth to
one-half inch in diameter, and were
from six to nine inches long. The low
er cut was made through the knot OF
the bud and the last internode of the
upper left as long as possible. All the
buds on the stock were carefully re-
moved, deep cut being made in order
to remove the adventitious buds at the
base of the main bud.
Scions were prepared in similar
way, except that the buds were left

GOOD PEACH REGIONS.
Expert Fruit Grower Thinks Suitable
Soil Can BE Found in All Parts
of the Country.

The past season has been one that
has made peach culture more interest.
ing than any other season that rec
ollect in Illinois, from the fact that
they have shipped an excellent kind
of peaches to market and | suppose
made a reasonable amount of money.
We used to talk about peach sections:
it used to be supposed that it was
confined to certain narrow territories.
some of them down east, one of them
over in Michigan, another in southern
Illinois, but the spirit of commercial.
ism has led men to study requirements
for successful culture of various kinds
of crops, one of them, of course, be-
ing the peach, and that study has set
men to hunting for suitable locations.
Knowing the requirements, we find
there are millions of acres of good
peach region. / have no idea of how
much undeveloped first class peach
land there is in the United States, and
the transportation companies have
made possible the delivery of peaches
grown in any section of the United
States to any other part of the United
states Win que dispatch and in good
order. That leaves commercial peach
growers in a position where it is a
question, perhaps in the near future,
of a survival of the fittest; a brutal
old law, but humankind seems to know
no other law but the survival of the
fittest. In the pursuit of the almighty
dollar we know no limit to our am.
bitions. Where acres of peaches were
planted few years ago, whole solid
sections are growing to-day. The mar.
ket, of course, has been developed and
extended by the same transportation
facilities; the consumption of all
fruits seems to be on rapid increase,
although we must doubt as to whether
it can keep up with the wonderful in
crease in the production.-R. Morrill,,

NEW FUEL MADE OF CLAY.
Company I'm Ohio Has an Article
Which H Claims Is Cheaper and
Refer Than Coal.

The American Clay-Wor<ing Ma
chine Co, of Bucyrus, o., has been
applied to for machinery to manu-
facture an artificial fuel which will
sell cheaper than coal. 1t is made
from ordinary clay treated with
chemicals and is the invention of an
old railway engineer of Omaha. The
fuel burns in a stove, CRATE or fur
mace readily. 1t creates no smoke, no
cinders, and burns to white ashes, %
pounds of the fuel producing only a
quantity of ashes that may be held
in the palm of the hand. In the com
bustion the fire literally consumes it's
own ashes, and a ton of the fuel goes
farther than two tons of the best
coal, producing five times the amount
of heat that coal produces.

Messrs. j. f. Blum and J. Grumper,
of Manchester, Washtenaw CO., Michi-
gan, paid visit to Alberta last sum-
mer and saw there a Mr.. ShantZ, one of
the good old Pennsylvania stock, who
had come recently-some seven years
ago-from Ontario, with $24 in his
pocket. He has certainly prospered
as he now owns over 20 head of cattle,
has a good log house framed over,
also n good barn and in all respects
looks a thrifty and well-to-do farmer.
He had some good crops of oats and
barley. After spending some days in
Calgary and Edmonton they returned
to Regina, Assiniboia, and looked
around the country North to Lums-
den and Balgonie where the crops ao-
peared very promising and heavy, con-
tinuing up the Regina and Long Lake
Road they came to Saskatoon on the
crossing of the South Saskatchewan
River. OF this district they say
"The country here pleased us better
than any we have seen. We drove out
eighteen miles in northwesterly direc-
ton through the Smith settlement.
This is a wonderful district, the growth
was splendid, all kinds of grains and
roots were perfection. The older set
tiers had good buildings of all kinds
and looked very prosperous, in fact
we came to the conclusion that we had
found what we were looking for, a
good country. While the nature of the
soil changes and is in some parts light,
in others stony, and again heavy, gen.
orally speaking it leaves nothing to be
desired. Hay and water are also in
abundance and wood can be found
along the river slopes and islands.
We have decided to locate there and
shall certainly advise our friends to
do likewise. We also trust that this
report may have the effect of draw
ing the attention of land seekers to
this district, and can honestly advise
all such to locate there. They will find
a good thing. As farmers ourselves,
from a good district in Michigan, we
have come to the conclusion that prop
erly farmed Western Canada will grow
almost anything" Ask for informa-
tion from any agent of the Canadian

AN EPIDEMIC OF LAUGHTER.
Three Young People In Illinois Town

Three Young People In Illinois Town
Who Nearly Die from Irrepressiblc
Merriment.
The young people of Wellington, in
1roquois county, ILL.,, are suffering
from an eXpidemic of laughter, which
has bafiled the doctors and has caus-
ed much distress. The first victim of
the atfliction was Miss Effie Hamil-
ton, the 15-year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. l.. M Hamilton. She laugh
ed increasingly for four days, until
her father, not knowing what else to
do, dashed a glass of cold water in
her face. The shock had the desired
effect, but for a long time the girl
was exceedingly weak from the
strain of her four days of laughing.
The second victim was Miss Rosa
Butts, aged 10. She was taken much
the same way as Miss Hamilton, but
the cold water cure had only tempo
rary effect. The girl was finally
stopped, but not until her condition
had become alarming.
The third victim is a young man,
John Kimberlin, who laughed for al
most week, and then only let up

young people were all similarly af-
flicted, and during their hysterical
attacks were unable to eat or sleep,
so the deblitating effect of their
ailment can easily be understood.
The utmost solemnity is the rule
in Wellington now, and anything cal
culated to start even mild laugh is
promptly suppressed.

Don't Neglect the Garden.

Gardens that pay best are those
that receive the most attention. A
garden will not take care of itself and
yield a profit. Probably no part of
the farm pays as large profit as the
garden in good hands. A man that
realizes this will give it the first at.
tention in the spring, both as regards
labor and fertilizer. The garden lover
will not forget it when other parts OF
the farm also need attention. If mar
will not do the work necessary or have
it done, he may as well not attempt sc

DISEASE is IMPORTED.
Danger from Imported Cattle Empha-
sized I'm Warning from the Secretary
of AurfcuIture.


In paper read before the Central
Shorthorn Breeders association at
its annual meeting at Kansas City,
Mo-, the other day James Wilson, sec
retary of agriculture, says it has
been found that tuberculosis is being
spread by pure bred imported ami
mails, and he suggests the propriety
of shutting down on the importation
of cattle and sheep. Chambers, too,
he says, is an imported disease, and
he suggests that it might also be well
to exclude foreign horses from the
American markets.
"The idea" continues the secre-
tary, that foreign cattle as a class
are better in the show ring or have
greater potency than our cattle is a
fallacy that the American hreeder
should set about dispelling now and
for all time"
Mr.. Wilson was unable to be pres
ent and his paper was read by George
NJ. Rommel, an expert from the de-
partment of agriculture.

ward of the CRAFTS.
Endto-end grating, as originated
in France, was practiced in some in
stances. The number of successful
CRAFTS obtained by this method was
low, but those that did unite made ex-
cellent unions. In grating by this
method the ends of stock and scion are
cut at an angle of about 20 degrees and
held in place by piece of galvanized
wire, which is pushed into the pth OF
each piece.
The proportion of successful Cham.
pin CRAFTS was slightly greater than
that of the English cleft. The success
full English cleft gratis, however, were
considered superior to the other in
the matter of completeness and
strength of union.
The experiments with two-eye ard
one-eye scions were, on the whole, in
favor of the use of two eyes.
The difference between callusing the
gratis in sand and planting them di
rectly in the nursery as soon as made
was very striking. Those previously
callused produced G1 per cent. of good
unions, while the others produced but
26 per cent. There was also a differ
ence in the growth of the CRAFTS ir
favor of those caliused in sand.
