PROMINENT MEN ON WHISKY Several Opinicns of Great Leaders on Injury Being Bone to World by Liquor Habit. The editor of McClura'i Magaslne publishes the opinions of many noted men on the subject of whisky. A few of these follow: "Joseph Chamberlain, the great Eng lish statesman, says, of whisky; " 'If there Is in the whole of this1 business any single encouraging fen j tare, it Is bound to be found in the gathering Impatience of the people at the burden which they are about to1 bear, and their growing indignation and sense of shame and disgrace which this Imposes upon them The fiery serpent, of drink Is destroying our people, ami now they are awaiting with longing eyes the uplifting of the remedy.’ “Sir Andrew Clark, the great Lon don physician; " 'I am speaking solemnly and care fully In the presence of truth, and T tell you that 1 am considerably within the mark when I say to you that, go ing the round of my hospital wards to day, seven out of every ten owed their ill health to alcohol.’ "The late Edward Everett Hale; " 'If anybody will take charge of all Boston's poverty and crime which re sults from drunkenness, the Hnuth Congregational church, of which I have the honor to he the minister, will alone take charge of nil the rest of the poverty which needs relief in the city of Boston ' "Abraham Lincoln: " ‘Tho liquor traffic is n cancer tn society, eating out tho vitals and threatening destruction, and all at tempts to regulate it will not only prove abortive, but will aggravate (be evil. There must he no more attempts to regulate the cancer. It must be eradicated, not a root must be left be hind; for, until this is done, all classes must continue in danger of becoming \letlins of strong drink.’ "Bishop Phillips Brooks: " 'If we should sweep Intemperance out of our country, there would he hardly poverty enough left to give healthy exercise to our charitable im pulses.’ "Governor J. W Folk, of Missouri; "'It Is a business the natural ten dency of which Is toward lawlessness, and the time lias come when It will either run the polities of the state or be run out of tho politics of the state.' "Carroll 1). Wright, Bolted States commissioner of labor: "'I have looked Into a thousand homes of the working people of Eu rope; I do not know how many in tills country. In every case, so far as my observation goes, drunkenness was at the bottom of the misery, and not tho Industrial system or the Industrial sur roundings of the men and their fami lies.' ” FEWER DRUNKS IN ENGLAND Extra Tax and Hard Times Are Prov ing Great Boost to Temperance in Great Britain. Temperance advocates are working hard Just now in England driving home statistics to show that legislation eip prevent drunkenness. A blue book just issued shows that in the last l‘_’ month ■ thei e were 169,518 convictions from drunki nn s, a drop of Is : V, on the year before. 1 hi1 decrease Is credited to the ex tra tax of 90 cents a gallon placed by Chancellor of Kxehequc ■ Lloyd Georg on spit its in the budget that begun to operate April :’.n last year 1 tenor men promptly put tip the retail prices, and numbers ot buyers either took to cheaper and milder lubricants or ab stained altogether.

Every inebriate, moreover, by precept, example, neg loot of children and in other ways, is a detriment to national w< Ifare in years to come. Interference with the liberty of the Inebriate, he said, so that the persons and liberty of others might be safeguarded is therefore jus tified, and t< < arrj t out legislation amply protect \! against misapplica tion Is need ■ 1 A Judge on Drink and Crime.

When All Things Are Considered. It Is a mistake to economize too much In the equipment of the ktteh in, the room which really furnishes the motive power of the home. Kitchen utensils are of the first im portance. The cook cannot do her work well without proper tools and proper environment. A kitchen outfit costs comparative ly little. New oilcloth for the floor, table and sink-stand, are cheap, and add immeasurably to the comfort of the worker. An attractive kitchen be speaks the good housekeeper, and is more apt to be kept In attractive or der. Neat tin or wooden boxes, or large glnss jars, with labels, are a delight ful acquisition to the kitchen closets, and much more pleasant to handle than leaky paper bags. Colored paper with pinked edges, for the shelves, or a coat of white paint eovt red with one of white en amel, and the shelves left bare of oth er covering, will work wonders for the general effect of the kitchen, and a growing plant or two gives an air of luxury which surprises those who have never tried it. I After tin umbrella has been in use for a short time, put a drop of oil in the center of tin1 top about once a month. This prevents ttio ribs from rusting. If two thin glasses have stuck one in the other place them In rather warm water and pour cold water In the upper glass. The expansion of one and the contraction of the other loosens them. A tittle soap or black lead rubbed on the hinge of a squeaking door will often remedy matters. ltrown boots can bo blackened by rubbing the blacking well into the slioes xv it it tt raw potato and then pol ishing.—Home Chat. A Useful Remedy. Hums In tilt' kitchen are so frequent that it is fortunate that the kitchen, or. rather, the bin in the cellar, pro vides a quick and easily applied cure for such injuries. When one has been seared by fire Immediately cut a white potato In two, scrape out the inside, and make It very fine. Hind this scraping on the burn and the pain will quickly be mitigated. Should the bum lie very deep it may be necessary to make a second appli cation. This ia an old-fashioned rem edy, but one that has proved success ful in many severe burns. Spice Cake. One and one-half cups of sugar, three eggs, one cup of butter, one cup of sour cream, one cup of stoned raisins, two cups of flour, one tea spoonful of sodit dissolved in one fourth cup of lnko warm water, one ta blespoon of elnnatuon, one teaspoon of cloves or mace. Cream the butter and the sugar, then the yolks of the eggs well beaten together with the sour cream. Add the spices, the soda, the raisin* dredged with a little of the flour, then the rest of the Hour and lastly, fold In lightly the stiffly beaten whites of the egg*. Hake slowly in deep well-buttered tins. Baked Tripe. Cut 114 pounds of tripe in small 'squares, put in an agate pan with five chopped onions. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with stock or water and bake in a slow oven three hours. Strain the liquid into a saucepan, add enough flour to thicken, stir over hot fire and let it boil up once. Put the tripe in a baking dish, pour in the sauce and cover till with mashed po tatoes beaten to a cream. Hake till brown. Cherry Butter Pudding. Beat to a cream a half cupful but ter and three tablespoonfuls of sugar. Then add little by little, stirring con stantly, four beaten eggs, a quart of j flour that has been sifted with three teaspoon fills of salt. Add a pint of milk, and lastly a quart of pitted cher ries. Boil two hours in a buttered mold, not allowing the water to stop a moment from its boiling. Serve with I hard sauce or cherry sauce.—Delinea ! tor. __ Potato Pancake. Peel anil grate four largo potatoes. Press iu a strainer aud add two eggs, well beaten alternately with a cup ot Hour. Salt and pepper to taste and stir in enough warm water to make a soft paste. Fry in lard or butter to brown pancakes. Fruit Sandwiches. Chop oue pound each of raisins, figs and dates, mix, and over the mixture pour a wine glass of orange Juice, aud spread between thin slices of but tered bread. MARKETING CF FARM STUFF Quality and Uniformity of Product and Attractiveness cf Fackagc Secret of Success. Purchasers Boon learn where tin best vegetables come from and an .nick to demand the produce of farm ers they can rely upon. Growers should become familial with the con lit ions aud preference; Cucumbers Well Packed. of I be market on which they expect j to place their produce. The market tng of rill kinds of farm stud; is oru , of the must Important if not the mos j important part-of the business. If one is unable to visit the hij. markets one should write to eonintis sion mere hauls and ask for till the in formation possible regarding what b wanted in the way of selection ant packing of fruit and vegetables. Com mission dealers would rather handls good, salable stuff than poorly packet and unsightly produce, and are always ready to help growers to present theii products in the most attractive man ner. It is also a good plan for amateur growers, who have* not shipped to tin i general markets, to first visit tin j farms of successful growers and lean j Nicely Packed Cabbages. by observation how produce should j be picked, graded, and packed in or der to bring tile best prices. Uniformity is the chief requirement to he considered and vegetables should always be sent to market uni form in condition, quality und genera appearance. Markets are seldom overstocked with good fruit and vegetables, but It Is the poorly developed, unevenly rip ened and badly selected products; that injure tlie sale of the better articles Produce of all kinds should be sort ed so that in each package the speci metis arc as nearly alike as possible 'l'lie efficient gradt r has In mind tin appearance of the whole package unci not the individual specimen. Many growers make the mistngo ol allowing their vegetables to become loo ripe before picking, and as a re suit the produce, which looks frosl enough In the garden, reaches tin market overripe and often decayed. Overripe vegetables should alwnys lie sold in a market which can lu reached within a very short time after leaving the farm and very ripe veget abb's should be consumed at home > • canned. All vegetables should be thoroughly cool and dry before being packed Heat and moisture promote decay and A Gcod Cabbage Crate. this of course means loss. This is oi the greati st importance and must uot be neglected If the grower would ge: the best prices for his produce. Charms of Bee Keeping. The inducements for keeping bees ' are numerous. It is a rare nature1 study and is specially recommended ' to teachers, clerks and business men, j where their hours are not too long,; ■ but confining, and an hour spent with bees will be found restful. Tip? energetic apiarist will usually i harvest 50 pounds or more of honey annually, besides an extra colony. This honey sold at the low price of 15 cents i or pound, and $5 for the ex fra colony, amounts to $12.50 on an investment of $S or $10 in tlie spring. The careless man will fail in bee kei\i g, as in everything else. FINE POINTS CF GOOD PONY Clean Head, Well Held Up, Tull Round Eye, and Bcdy Almost as Round as a Earrel. In buying a pony one should under ; stand the points that go to make a j perfect animal. A study of the pony shown here wi I give you a' pretty Belle of Brassay, clear idea of what is necessary. You will see that she lias a elf ar head, well held up, a full, round eye and a body almost as round as a barrel, well muscled shoulders and hind quarters, and clean, bony, Hat legs. This litlle mare was raised in Eng land and look tie? first premium at the royal show at Gloucester. The show Is equal to one of our best state fairs, and in fact, us a stock show It is on a much larger scale. MUCH PROFIT IN LIVESTOCK More Money in Raising Animals Than by Planting Legume Crops— Humus Is Retained. (By XV. SCOTT HICKOX.) The limn who plants legumes solely to turn under will, in the majority of cases, get tired of it after a few years because of the cost in seed, labor and rent of land. He who grows legumes and sells the tops for hay Is pumping the mineral elements out of his land In a most reckless manner and there will come a time of reckoning after a while. The writer is proud of the fact that he belongs to the class of men who plant legumes, make hay of the top, extract the food values by passing the hay through first-class farm animals, returning more than three-fourths of the material value and practically all the humus back to the soil, and during the progress of the game trapping enough nitrogen from the air to far more than balance the small amount of phosphorous and potash the young animals sold remove from the farm. This, my friends, la sane farming, proven such in many lands and under various conditions. ARRANGE TO KEEP STALL DRY Illustration and Explanation Showing How Water May Be Drained Away at All Times. The device shown in the illustra tion, gives an excellent idea of keeping a stall dry; two by fours are put one inch apart, forming a sec ond floor. This keeps the water drain ed away all th. time. The iloor of the barn ehou d be sloped in such a way that the water runs hack Keep the Stall Dry. ward, and is soaked up in the manure and bedding that is pushed off the standing floor iti this way the horses are never stained. The horse killed by lightning is usu ally the one that’s not insured. Dry sows are in good condition and cn good pasture r.eed little else. Iiiack leg is a disease, and it is con tagious and practically incurable. ter dity Is ot more import .nee ta the breeder than to ;he | . . pro ducer.

Too m .ell will cause indigestion. When hens stop to drink out of a mud puddle, you had better start for the pump and got them some water that is good and pure. Eggs ure becoming daily more and more scarce. This is not surprising It is enough for the hens to supply tin new growth of feathers. No need of giving the hens stimu lants and tonics during the molting season, but there is great need of proper feeding and care. The ground in the newly set straw berry bed should be kept stirred and rich, to enable the plants to go through the winted in god shape. Humus may be maintained and augmented by three procedures, i e.. crop rotation, the use of' farm ma nures and the practise of green ma nuring.
