BRO. TOMpKINS SECONDS THE MOTION.

Let us hear from others. The brewers and wholesale men don't care so much for focal option, 7" but statewide prohibition goes too far for them. Besides, they know whole state adds much to the national strength, and a few more states will compel our na- tional congress to give us much needed laws for the protection of prohibition territory. So when statewide prohibition is up the brewers pour in money to defeat it. They are doing that now in Arkansas. Let Prescott do it's part to carry on the prohibition campaign. Who will speak next?

 He also said that, "Contempo- raneous with him was Isaiah, that master teacher of the He brew nation, who said: The priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they err in vision, they stumble in judg- ment. Two centuries earlier than this. the wisest of finite men gave it as his clinical obser- vation that wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and who- soever is deceived thereby is not wise.' Meditating on tn SC in- disputable records of the ages, we appreciate the clinical ex- perience of Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson who wrote, Of all men, brain workers are the least able to bear up under the ravages of alcohol, this traitor who enters the most precious treasury, the citadel of the mind These ob- servations are amply coreborated by men well versed in pathologic and bacteriologic work. "
 This needs no higher authority than Dr. Sims Woodhead, of Cambridge University, whose pathOlOg1c ODSerVaClOnS leO nlm to say: A man under the in- fluence of small quantities of al- cohol has no right to believe his own senses. He can not trust them to give him correct facts, and he can not rely upon his judgment for the interpretation of facts. :"
 With such testimony where is the man with any degree of as- peration who would dare put in his mouth that which will steal away his brain?"

HAS FEW SALOONS.
Reduction of Liquor Licenses In the
Province of Ontario.

The annual report of the liquor H.
cense department in Ontario, recently
issued, states that during the last H.
cense year the number of tavern, shop,
and wholesale liquor licenses within
the province was reduced by 1913. The
report states that the employment of
a special staff of officers to enforce the
act throughout the province has re-
suited in the more strict observance of
the law by licenses, and as a conse-
quence fewer prosecutions were neces-
sary. In local option municipalities,
the report claims, the law was vigor-
onsly enforced.
Under the requirements of increased
license fees provided in the act of last
session, the revenue from the license
branch for the financial year was
1887, 1860. The total amount collect
ed on account of licenses and fines, in
Guiding the sum imposed by munich
pal bylaws, was 1891, 652.S6-an in
crease, compared with the previous
year, of $333,S39.42. OF the total
amount collected, SAIL, 916.71 went to
the municipalities.
During the year Alta persons were
committed for drunkenness, as COM
pared with APIS in the previous year
Since 1876 the number of convictions
for this class of offense has increased
by practically thousand. Temperance
workers throughout the province are
directing their efforts toward increas-
ing the prohibition area by means of
local option. which system has been
operated with remarkable success in
most of the southern states, which
have lately adopted state prohibition.
The notable temperance activity which
continues in all parts of the province,
undoubtedly indicates material gains
for the cause within the not distant
future.

Horrible Visions.

land, rs probably as impossible as to
explain the mysteries of nightmare.
That 1t Is due to the effect of poison
in drugs or stimulants acting on the
nervous system can be readily stated.
That this poison acting upon the nerve
centers, and especially the nerves
which actuate the visual organs, is
obviously in evidence. But just what
it is in the mental condition which
makes the object take the form of a
rat, a snake, devil, dragon, or
creature unknown to natural history,
is a more occult question. The victim
has been in a condition of extreme
mental stress. He feels that the world
Is against him. He is a lost creature
TO this life and Is the creature of an
other world. His imagination is over
wrought and distorted, and automatic
ally brings into existence impossible
visions which seem to him absolutely
real. They might be said to be men
tai impressions enormously inter-
preted by the perceptive faculties
How these strange creations are pro-
duced and why they assume particu-
lar forms would be as difficult to ex-
plain as to diagnose the conditions
that induce an ugly dream, with the
exception that in the case of the al
coholist we know that the exact
source of the illusion, even though we
cannot describe the mental process
by which it is produced. We cannot
say why insane persons are pursued
by fiends, or why they imagine they
are kings, queens or deities; and the
delirium of alcoholism is a species of
INSANITY"

Marketing Spot Cotton.

Discussing the question of market
ing cotton the Cotton Journal says:
After passing through the terrible
hardships of forty years and submit
ting to the dominating control of out
side influences in pricing the cotton
crop of the south, the growers are at
last exercising the rights of American
freemen to have voice in pricing the
products of their labor. The recogni.
ton of this inherent right has been a
long time coming, but it has at last
made it's presence felt, and within the
past few years positive and definite
results have been secured. Now that
something tangible is to be developed
in the future marketing Of American
cotton by the growers, it is well to sit
down and calmly and dispassionately
consider the best methods to be pur-
sued to get the best and most salts
factory results.
That the south intends to place a
price on its cotton crop each year in
the future there is no use to argue.
That the south has passed the period
In It's history when arbitrary influ-
ences on the Outside will be permitted
to fix and regulate the price of this
great staple crop, there is hardly any
need to waste time In discussing. If
the growers expect to do we'll their
part they must recognize and conform
to the rules Of sound business princi-
pies and the regulations of the de-
mands CT trade. The price of spot
cotton cannot be regulated and main
tanned at profitable figures to the
growers by artificial means or spas
modic attempts through the medium
of force from time to time. There
must be some we'll defined system of
marketing adopted which will give
permanent relief and which at the
same time will not tend to restrict
or harass the business of the spin
ners
There is but one way to get rid of
the artificial influences which affect
the price of spot cotton, and that is
to remove the power and influence
of the speculative trader. To do this
the marketing of spot cotton must be
regulated in such a way as to meet
only the legitimate demands of con-
sumption. If the mills of the world
only require one million bales of Amer
lean cotton each month to meet their
demands then we must keep the sup
ply of the raw material we'll within
the limits of that demand.

Plant Louise Remedies.

The habits OF all plant lice are very
similar, and the remedies best adapted
for their destruction are practically
the same, being varied according to
the conditions regarding size and form
of the plants, vines or trees to be
treated, and depending somewhat ON
the facilities for obtaining and apply
ing the various mixtures. The green
aphis which affects the apple, plum,
prune and other fruit trees, Is numer-
Gus at this time of the year, and can
only be treated with a spray that will
not injure the foliage OF the trees and
which kills the insects by coming in
contact with their bodies A strong
spray is required to force the mix
lures into the depths of the foliage and
to cover the lice properly. 1t may
also be necessary to spray more than
once to rid the trees of the pest.
Black Leaf Dip, a tobacco prepare
ton gotten up primarily for the pur-
pose of killing parasites on cattle,
sheep and hogs, has been found a most
excellent remedy for the green aphis
and other plant lice. The dip is used
in the proportion of one gallon to 70
gallons of water.
Kerosene emulsion made in the pro-
portions of one gallon of kerosene to
fifteen gallons OF water and one-fourth
pound of soap to this amount of the
liquids, is an old and tried remedy
Whale oil soap or fish oil soaps In
the proportion of one pound of soap
to eight gallons of water, is good
remedy. This is easily prepared sim
ply requiring to dissolve the soap In
the water and apply the same as the
kerosene emulsion.
A tobacco decoction made by boiling
whole leaf tobacco, one pound to four
gallons of water, or two pounds of to-
bacco stems or dust to four gallons
of water, is said to be as effective as
the black leaf dip though perhaps
more expensive and more difficult to
prepare.
No lime should be used in any of
these preparations The lime and sui
phur preparation heretofore described
and advocated for the green aphis and
the woolly aphis is not to be used dur
ing the growing season. 1t will In
jure the foliage, so is used only as Q
winter wash or as spray just be-
fore the buds open in spring.

REFORM GAINS HEADWAY,
Progress of the Total Abstinence In
Sweden.

The movement in favor of total alb
stinence Is at present making marked
advance throughout the Scandinavian
provinces, and notably In Sweden,
where intemperance had for many
years proved one OF the greatest him
ORANGES to national progress. A recent
report of the Good Templar order of
Sweden shows largely increased gains
in the membership of the order and
states that total abstinence sentiment
is spreading rapidly in all parts of the
state. The grand lodge of the order
was instituted in 1880, and. has now
2,S72 subordinate societies, with a
total membership of 19O,675 enrolled
as active supporters Of the total alb
stinence cause. The grand lodge car
ries on organized educational work,
having numerous courses of study, lee
ture bureaus and study circles, which
are largely instrumental In promoting
the interests of temperance. A progress
sive temperance publication issued by
the ordef has been greatly successful
in shaping temperance sentiment and
in furthering the cause Of temperance
reform in that country.

Did You Ever Think About lt?

Did you ever happen to think that
the -four purchased in barrels costs
about 20 cents more than the same ar.
ticle put up in sacks?
Thousands upon thousands of bar.
rels of this -four are purchased in the
South every year-many of them by
cotton growers.
Two points are important in this
connection. First, II these thousands
of barrels Of flour were packed in cot
ton sacks there would be an increased
demand for our cotton.
Second, If these barrels were not
called for, some of the great causes
for devastation of our forests would
be prevented. These are worth think
ing on.

Whom Cows Should Dry.

AS to when cows should be dried
from milking, dairyman giving his
own experience says that this depends
to some extent on the quality and Wig
or of the COW, and that a COW in poor
condition may be allowed two months
in which to recruit her strength, with
advantage to herself and her prospec-
tive calf, but this is to some extent
matter of keep, for the poor COW
generally belongs to the poor feed
er, and, If the feeding is generous, the
animal healthy, and the quantity of
milk produced pays expenses there Is
no reason why the period of rest
should not be further reduced. In
the case of the average COW, the milk
inS can be continued until within a
month OF calVing. If COW is in low
condition, it is better, in our opinion,
to resort to higher feeding than to dry
off. We have known cows treated thus
for many years, sometimes being
MIXED to within a month of calving,
that have carried as good an appear
ance, and produced equally good
calves, as those which run dry nearly
thr0o times SIS long Six weeks may
be considered the average period dur
ing which COW should be dry, unless
the circumstances are exceptional

Separate Sick From Well.

Whenever a fowl shows symptoms
of disease separate it at once from
the balance of the flock. 1t seldom
pays to doctor them. At any rate,
whatever you do, get them away from
the well ones At the same time re-
move all straw from the nests, all
droppings from the boards, all scratch
ing material from the floor, and emp
ty all watering vessels, and clean and
disinfect them thoroughly before wat
er is put in them again The trouble
will more than likely end here. where
as if this is not done others may con-
tract the disease and you have trouble
on your hands sure enough.
