An Idea for the Bed Ribbon.
Society is gradually gaining ground .on
the temperance question. There is less
drinking now and it is less reputable than
in tiie time of our grandfathers. Then
every little New England community had
a large percentage of confirmed drunk
ards, whose families sunk in degradation
and misery, were a biot On the village es
cutcheons. Then harvesters had liquor i
with their lunch and if a family was un- I
happy enough to-be out of rum, on re
ceding a pastoral call a boy was lpouut
cd, and sent post haste, with a jug to get
some, while the faintly prostrated them
selves in ajxtlogy befoie the thirsty cler
gyman. Then the laws of hospitality re
qii red that guests should be served with
liquor. Now, respectable tippling is
largely de. reased. Fashion decrees that
it is vulgar for gentlemen to remain at
tiKS table for the purpose of drinking, af
ter the ladies have retired. Generally
fpcaking public sentiment deprecates thc
habitual use of any alcoholic stimulant.
What drinking there is and the vicei;
"not quite extinct is worse iu character
and more rapidly fatal and debasing in
its results, because of the universal ihiis
onous adulteration of liquor. If this evil
comprehended the drinkeralone, it would
seem a thing not to be meddled with. It
a man cannot and will not control his ap
petitcs, he "had best kill himself as soon
as possible, and rid the world of his
worth lessness. Unfortunately, no man
with a family (and most men belong to
that class), can be intern; crate, and they
not be equal sufferers with him. Society
owes to them not him her utmost exer
tions toward the mitigation of the evil.
On account of that "native cussedness"'
which we all inherit with various ances
tral amendments trom our common pro
genitor, Adam, it is improbable that all
the temperance societies on this side of
Heaven cotd 1 ever prevent the existence
ef a Jarge intemperate class. Since re
formers cannot do all they would, let
them do what they can. Wouldn't it be
a good idea to appoint the most rabid
temperance men in the country as liquor
inspectors? By mercilessly condemning
all impure articles and prosecuting dis
honest dealers they could at once large
ly reduce the profits of the traffic, and ob
viate some of the most pernicious effects
of moderate chinking.

At first glance one would say, litera

is so-widespread and artistic culture is
so extended, that there is scarcely any
end to the demand for such magazines

Salt for Farm-htoek.
The Live-Stock Journal, on this sub
ject, says: "alt is required in the for
mation of the blood and the various ani
mal juices. It increases thc appetite and
promotes the jxiwer of digestion. Sheep
feeders believe that it often prevents rot,
scab, intestinal worms, braxy, an I other
diseases. Some French feeders believed
that salt had an actual nutrient or fatten
ing quality; but Houssingault experi
mented to determine this, and did not
confirm it. He came to tho conclusion
that salt added to food might produce a
more rapid increase in the weight of fat
tening auimavB by giving them a greater
xclisli for food, and thus inducing them to
consume a larger quantity.
"There can be no doubt that in sec
tions of this country situated at a long
distance from the sea, all animals are ben
efited by the use of salt. Cattle partake
of it with a most decided relish in small
quantities, and ofteD, daily, and it is no
doubt best that they should have free ac
cess to it, when they will take it by little
and often, and simply satisfy their on
appetite. Salt is found to have' a Len-?-cial
effect upon crops on many soils, thus
indirectly proving the deficiency of salt
in the forage crops.'
