The Irish department of agriculture, is lendeavoring to establish a new industry in the manufacture from beet-root and potatoes of a low grade of alcohol cheap enough to compete with petrol or gaso- line as a fuel for automobiles. In France considerable demand has sprung up for alcohol for this purpose, and 1t is thought that the great pro- ductivity of Ireland in potato raising can be turned to account.

Setting Out a Hedge.

A good many of IL readers, both in
town and country, may want to set out
some sort of a hedge next spring.
There are two of three things of impor-
lance connected with this undertaking
one, the proper selection of tree or
shrub to be used for this purpose; an
other, to see that only young and
healthy trees are used, and, third, to
give such hedge the proper care when
planted. we know of nothing that
makes a better hedge, taking beauty
and hardness into consideration, than
the common red cedar. The trees when
planted should not be more than eight
or ten inches high, should be thick and
bushy and well rooted and be set not
more than a foot apart. After the first
year they should be carefully trimmed
so as to thicken them up close to the
ground and thus form a solid base for
the future hedge. This cannot be done
if the trees of any size are used. After
the trees are well rooted keep them
mulched, and the future success of the
hedge will depend wholly upon the care
used in trimming it.

In the COS and immigrant ship land
ed at Castle Garden, New York, bring
ing 500 Scandinavians from the hills
and valleys and fiords of Norway. They
were poor, honest and industrious,
lured from the fatherland by the stories
of the marvellous opportunities open to
them in this Western hemisphere. The
years passed by, and not long since a
company of 500 Scandinavians boarded
a big liner at the same city for a re-
turn trip to the fatherland. These peo-
pie represented the best possibilities of
American citizenship in wealth, intelli-
gence and patriotism. 1t is a pleasure
to picture the greetings which await
them over the seas and the pride with
which they will speak of their adopted
country and its magnificent opportuni-
ties.

Trick Candies.

late or a piece of nougat are limited,

hide it in a cream chocolate. You can
imagine the rest-a party of women
munching candy, n of them discover
ing something hard, and finding a gold
crowned tooth loose in her mouth!
Similarly we initiate a bone collar
button in a hard, white candy, hide a
candy shoe button in a piece of nougat,
put a bit of cork in a caramel, or fill a
candied cherry with red pepper. So

A wise and observing person stated
the other day that many a wife com-
plains that her husband does not take
her out, that she only sees him at

which she has nc part. Further that
she blames him for neglecting her, and
thinks herself illused; yet, he is only
following the natural instinct of hui
manity-the fault is really hers. The
most easiest way a wife can hold her

Rape. Corn and Sheen.

This plan worked well. He sowed
rape among his corn, three pounds to
the acre, at the time of the last blowing
of his 10O-acre field. When the corn
began to harden, he turned into this
field LOO sheep and let them work on
the field until they had it finished up
along in early December. He then
shipped his sheep to Chicago, and his
returns showed that his combined crop
of corn and rape had brought him in
about $35 per acre. While this was not
a big return it was secured at so small
an expenditure of labor and SO thor
oughly fortified and cleaned the field
that there is not a little to commend
in the plan. Men with large farms and
insufficient help may get a pointer here
of the value to them.
The professional world. (Columbia, Mo.) 1901-192?, 1903-02-06

The general verdict as to the value
of rape as a forage crop is that for
pigs and sheep it is one of great value.
AS a general proposition on the average
farm it is better to SOW it by itself
of an acreage just suited to the needs
of this class of stock kept on the farm.
While it may be grown as an after
crop following small grains and corn,
unusual drought of excessive rains are
each likely to prevent its best develop
ment. Anyway, be sure to SOW a small
piece next spring and give it a trial.

A ACT.
A New English Law That Seems to Be
Working Admirably.

At its last session the British parlia-
ment passed a new licensing act which
promises excellent results and which,
after only two weeks trial, has won
much commentator. Among other
things, the new act forbids the selling
of alcoholic drinks to habitual drunk
ards. 1t is made a crime, with sub
~stantial penalties, to sell to an habitual
drunkard, and the saloonkeeper is held
responsible for the conduct of his ex-
cessively bibulous customer. The drunk
ard also is subject to punishment for
making a nuisance of himself. In addi-
ton, whether man or woman, the mar
ried drunkard forfeits important rights.
The marriage tie is loosened If 1t binds
one to an in~corrigible sot. ut is the

tive of the Pail Mall Gazette, lever
passed. The effect has been to rid the
bars to some extent of undesirable GUS
toners, and the exemplary sentences
passed by the magistrates on habitual
drunkards have had a good effect on
that class" According to another au-
thority, hotel proprietors, managers of
large public houses n secretaries of
bona-tide clubs are practically unani-
nous in its praise. East End publicans
are at their wits end as to how to deal
with their customers. They do not
know when they may be charged with
the new crime of giving drink to an

came about that nearly all of the
choice tracts Of timber were gobbled
up by land spectators, leaving the set
tiers on the prairie without fuel and
fencing which they could obtain law
fully. 1t did not take very long to
place these tracts of spectators tim
her lands in the minds of these settlers
outside of the operation of both moral
and civil law. This business had a de-
moralizing effect upon the settlers. We
know of one community where not I'M

was gone was it possible to maintain
