WHAT ABRAHAM LINCOLN SAID OF
THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

| have read with undated interest
the speech of Senator Sheppard. of
Texas before the senate of the United
States. delivered on July 80. two days
before the vote on national prohibition
was taken The speech is a masterful
argument, and it should be read by
every thoughtfut person in this coun-
try. Among the quotations that were
used by Senator sheppard was one from
President Lincoln. 1t had escaped my
memory that Mr.. Lincoln was so pro-
is well worth preserving. Said Mr..
Lincoln, THE liquor traffic is a cancer
in society, eating the vitals and threat
ening destruction, and all attempts 20
regulate it will not only prove abortive.
but will aggravate the evil. There must
be no attempts to regulate the cancer.
1t must be eradicated, not root must
be left behind, for until this is done all
classes must continue In danger of be-
coming victims Of strong drink. Slav-
cry is abolished. The next great ques-
ton would be the overthrow of the le-
galized liquor traffic, and you know,
Merwin, that my head and my heart,
my hand and my purse will go in that
work. In 1912 less than a quarter of
century ago, l predicted that the day
would come when there would lie
neither a slave nor a drunkard in the
land. | have lived to see one predic-
tion fulfilled. | hope to see the other
realized"
1t seems a pity the south did not ar
rive at a suitable appreciation of Mr..
crazy mans bullet.
Senator Sheppard quoted Rudyard
Kipling, who had seen two young men
in a concert hall get two young women
drunk and then take them into a dark
street: Then. despite previous opin-
ions, | became a prohibitionist Better
1t is a man should go without his bear
in public places and content himself
with swearing at a narrow-minded ma
jority; better it is to poison the inside
with very vile temperance drinks, or 70
buy lager furtively at back doors, than
to bring temptation to the lips of young
fools. such as the four l had seen. /
understand now why the preachers rave
against drink. | had said there is no
harm in it; take it moderately; and yet
my own demand for beer helped direct
ly to send these two girls down the
dark street to--God alone knows what
end"
He brought statistics to show that
eighty-two per cent of fallen women
weres brought to ruin by alcohol, that
81 per cent of convicted criminals were
made so by drink. A chief justice in
England said nine-tenths of the crime in
England and Wales was caused by
drink. A medical army officer in the
United States for Al years said prob
ably all the crime in the army is di-
rectly caused by drink. He holds it
responsible for 100000 insane, for
25O,OO0 feeble-minded, for 100000 deaf
and dumb, and 100000 blind, over 5O,-
900 Juvenile delinquents, 100000 paupers
and 10000 prisoners who are Grim
inals. This speech Is such an eye
opener that I will write again of what
was so tersely and .eloquently said by
Senator Sheppard, who made this mag

THE BEST PLAN OF FIGHTING THE
BOIL WEENII,

Il. II. G., Woodland, Ga, writes: In
planting cotton under boil weevil conditions
Is late planting preferable TO early pIantIngY
Is II advisable to 60 over the crop and de-
stroy the weevils before they attack the
frs squares:
The late planting of cotton under
boil weevil conditions is from our point
of view. suicidal policy 1t mas been
tried as we understand it, extensively
but without success. The chances OF
producing a crop of cotton under boil
weevil conditions will be greater il you
follow the method of practice suggested
First, prepare your land as quickly as
possible. Very through preparation is
essential. Liberal fertiliza ton must be
followed. Use quickly available plant
food and plenty OF acid phosphate, as
the phosphoric acid ii contains tends
to hasten maturity materially Select
an early. rapid fruiting type of cotton
free from vegetative limbs and which
will continue to grow and set fruit
throughout the season. AS soon as the
cotton is out of the ground go over it
and pick the weevils Systematically
once a week. Keep this up. Weevils
will be found near the damaged bud of
the very small plants. Chop to a stand
as early as possible. Plant delinted
seed and practice rapid shallow Guilt
walton. little later in the season
pick up punctured or yellow squares
Keep this up until the middle of July
BY this method, Systematically and s1c-
cessfully followed. you will have a
chance of producing a fair crop of cot

THE TWO REGaARs.

A beggar stood at the rich mans door
I'm homeless and friendess, and faint
and poor"
Said the beggar boy: as the tear-drop
rolled
Down his thin cheek, blanched with
want and cold.
Oh! give me crust from your board
today,
To help the beggar boy on his way
Not a crust, not crust" the rich man
said;
BE Off and work for your daily bread"
The rich man went to the parish church,
His face grew grave as he trod the
porch.
And the thronging poor. and untaught
mass.
Drew back to let the rich man pass.
The services began, the choral hymn
Arose and swelled through the long
aisles dim:
Then. the rich man knelt, and the words
he said,
Were. "Give us this day our daily
bread"

carbohydrates reported in the grain. Is
there such q difference in the character of
these carbohydrates as TO make the one ma
terially more valuable in itself than the
other?
Corn cobs contain very little digesti-
BILE animal food. One hundred pounds of
them contain 4 per cent of digestible
protein. 47.S6 of digestthle corbohy-
drates, 2 per cent of fat. Probably only
Eliminating animals can handle ground
corn cobs with high degree of satisfac-
tion. This is due to the fact that they
have four stomachs. Illuminating ami
mails can chew thecud and regurgitate
their food. which enables them to work
II over the second time after 1T has been
softened i'm the paunch. In the feeding
Of live stock | would not regard corn
cobs as being of much practical value.
About the only way of utilizing them
with any degree OF satisfaction would be
through the agency of corn and cob
meal. Corn and cob meal is commonly
fed to various classes of animals and
has given good results. Naturally il is
not as rich a feed as corn meal, there
fore you would have to feed more of
IL in order to obtain the same result in
animal nutrition.
There is no reason. of course. why corn
and cob meal, mixed with a reasonable
proportion of cotton seedmeal. should
not be fed to work stock in the south
We have tried this matter out to some
extent and look Upon this combination
of feed stuffs as likely to provide the
nutriments required at a fairly reason
able cost In many experiments made
when corn was cheap il appeared that
there was not enough gain in food value
obtained from grinding the corn and
cobs together to Justify the farmer in
purchasing a machine to use for this
purpose. This probably accounts for
the fact that corn cobs have been dis
carded in many sections of the country
Now that corn is much higher in prices
the chances are that the grinding Of the
cobs with the grain would prove more
economical A pound of digestible car
bohydrates from one source should. in
my opinion, be as desirable as a pound
derived from any other source. You UNI
derstand. of course, there is a limit to
this proposition, however, due to the
fact that different classes of animals have
different sized digestive organs and as
similative capacities. In other words
one could not undertake to supply a COW
with carbohydrates derived from corn
cobs. though they contain a considerable
percentage OF digestible food of this
character. A substance like corn cobs,
TO be utilized at all, would have to he
mixed in with the grain and then some
concentrate running high in protein
combined with the resulting corn and
cob meal to balance II up. Particularly
would this be true in the case of work
stock.
