most of last week while the
machinery inside underwent a very
thorough overhauling and some ex
tensive improvements. This firm ,
composed of experienced millers ,
spares no pains to furnish their mill
with first class machinery and they are
now turning out Hour good enough

Prohibition.
[ Cominunicated.1
v The llov. Mr. Cordloy says , in con
cluding his statement as to the effect
of the prohibitory law in Kansas , that
drunkenness in ICmporia , which was
a common sight for two years previous ,
is now almost unknown. That prose
cutions for drunkenness have boon re
duced to the minimum and the po
lice ceurt might almo3tbaroutodoutif
it were not for the prosecutions of
the liquor dealers , and this state of
things is not confined to his own
town , but represents the great mass
of the interior towns. In most of the
villages and country places the work
is still more thorough , and the traffic
is stamped out altogether.
Official figures show that during
the first three months of the opera
tion of the law the number of United
States licenses granted had been re
duced more than"onehalf ; the number
bor of retail saloons had been reduced
G4 pur cent ; the number of wholesale
liquor houses had been reduced 67
per cent. This was done in. spite of
the fact that the law was ignored in
four of the largest cities of the state ,
and that it had boon no vvhoro enforced
with as much thoroughness as since
that time.
The law noedb improvement in
some points which it will receive in
time ; it needs patience to do its per
fect work ; it needs time to become
regarded as the settled policy of the
state.
state.Meanwhile
Meanwhile no public man ventures
to take ground against it ; the papers
that discredit it , do not ostensibly op
pose it , and most who criticise it , ad
vise obedience to it , and admit that it
has "come to stay. "
A gentleman , who recently spent
several months in central and
southern Kansas , traveling the entire
length of the state , from Atchison on
the Missouri river to the frontier , 50
miles west of Dodge City , visiting
county seats and many of the larger
towns , says the law is enforced with
fully as much rigor as other statutes.
Violators of the law have been ar
raigned before courts , convictions
have followed , and heavy fines im
posed , At an association recently
liold twenty-five ministers met , and
twenty-three of them reported from n
partial to an entire success in the en
forcements of prohibition in their re
spective towns. The distillery iti
Topeka stopped manufacturing in
February , and its owners are going to
remove it to u license state , acknowl
edging that the business has become
liBagreoablo , dangerous and unprofita
ble.

A representative of the- liquor traffic
at Kansas City , Mo , , guys ; " \\osoud
no more liquor agents into Kansas , "
Recently utf Buloit five saloon keepers
and two druggists were convicted by
the district courtin sums of fromlOO
to $100 each for violation of the law ;
and u multitude of similar instances
might bo produced , showing that pro-
liibition does prohibit in Kansas.
The cry that people in largo num
bers , are leaving the state because of
tlio law is a sensational ono , gotten up
by the liquor party without any basis
ot truth. So far as can bo learned
not ono vaulablo citizen has left the
slate because of prohibition.
In our next wo will introduce to
the readers of TuKBuKGov.St. John ,
whoso evidence on the success of pro
hibition in Kansas should bo entitled

Prof , Brown , of the Ontario ngri.
cultural college , delivered an able ad
dress before the Markham Farmer '
club. The Rural Canadian snys :
Prof. Brown is n strong believer in
the oirly maturing of beef c.tttlo. lie
contends that n two-year-old , prop
erly handled all along , will atwnys return -
turn more money for its time nud
weight than a thrco-yenr-old can pos
sibly do. On the subject of proper
handling from calfhooci , ho says very
oxplicity , fortifying bis stntomonti
with fncts and iinuros , nnd rounding
out his Argument with n chnllonqp
which ouglib to attract public atten
tion. Ho said :
"With reference to tlio question of
greater profit to bo obtained by get
ting rid of beef when two yearn old , I
wish to make nn importint jublio an
nouncement to the province , though
your agency , It is a facv , n I do now
and have clsnhoro publicly ntatcd ,
that the loaa or gain to ' the province
alone is not Icsi than'1,000,000 , it is
surely north while to prove it thor
oughly. Wo have several times civen
practical proof by the actual cost of
producing two and three ycnr old
steers at our farm ; but , in order to
face the country and drive the lesson
homo as hard as possible , I am prepared
pared , on havinpgovernment consent ,
to exhibit , say throe or four steers ,
two year old Short-horn grades , at
any or nil our principal shows next
year , against n eimilaV number of
thrco year olds of the same kind , on
condition that the exhibitors submit a
statement of the exact amounts and
kinds of food given twelve months
previous to date of exhibition , with
the weights of cattle at same date.
The judge or judges would then bo
asked to do five things :
1 Value the animals as they stood
by ago and weight twelve months prev
ious to exhibition.
2. Value the foods oaten for twelve
months ,
3. Allow twelve months' intoreston
value of throe year olds , as they stood
when two years old.
4. Value them at data of exhibition
acccrding to weight and quality ,
5. To prove ago.
This would bo simple onouili , and I
give fair warning that I would show
animals that will make the beam kick
at 1,000 pounds , not pampered or any
Way prepared for the occasion , but
getting plenty of corn niaal , or pea
meal , or crushed oats , as the case may
bo , with turnips , hay , otraw and bran
no condiments , nor linseed meal ,
nor oil cake , but straight , liboial feed
ing , us an ordiiiiry and profitable in
vestment for the export trade.
In order to draw the public on this
subject , I ehall bo glad to give § 25 , if
the Provincial Association or the
Toronto Industrial give § 25 also , aoas
to make a § 30 prize. "
For stall feeding the professor would
rolcct , first , the Short-horn and its
grades ; next , the Aberdeen Poll and
ito grades ; third , the Hercfords ; as
signing the Galloway a fourth place ,
"except for permanency of character
and quality of flush , in which respects
ho bows to none. "
The professor is of the opinion that
most of our stall cattle managers are
extravagant in their feeding , for the
one prominent reason that they look
upon straw as only fit for bedding , or
at the most , that only a enull quan
tity should bo allowed with hay , and
that thcro is great waste cf straw perpetrated -
petratod from ignorance of its feeding
value.
The professor's remarks on the
grazing of cattle are eminently wieo
nnd practical. While not considering
Ontario n grazing country , in the sense
of having large natural or artificial
runs for cattle and sheep , where a
feast of fat things can bo relied on
from May to October , ho still con <
tends that wo are quite able to pro
vide good pasturage , were wo only
convinced of the importance and
practicability of so doimr. Too many
are contented with turning out the
yearling to the bush , the aftermath ,
and the timothy field ho might have
added , the grain stubble. These
sources of supply are too precarious
to keep the yonng animal constantly
improving , so as only to need "top-
ping-ofl" for the butcher. Ho makes
the startling assertion , thatwero ovury
farm in Ontario possessed of a prop
erly managed live aero permanent
pasture plot , the grain to the whole
country would bo 11,000,000 annu
ally. Yes , wo pay too little attention
to the cultivation of grass for perma
nent pasture. *

"To sum it up , six long years of
bed-ridden sickness , costing $200 per
year , total $1,200 all of this expense
was stopped by throe bottles of Hop
Bitters , taken by my wife. She has

since , without the loss of a day , and I

Could Speak any Language.
The other day a Swede in the cm-
ploy of the Union Pacific road , wont
into Division Superintendent Dickin-
ion'a officer to get transportation for
liimsolf and family to another part of
the road , Ho couldn't speak the En
glish language at all and Mr. MilJH
could not of course ascertain the extent -
tent of the applicant's family , RO as to
provide the proper piss for him. lie
tried to speak sumo Swedish , but the
fact is that Mills has boon in thin
country so long that ho has almost
forgotten the language.
He motioned to the applicant to go
and got an interpreter , or words to
that effect , nnd at last made him un
derstand , The man went out and re
turned with an Irishman.
Mills said , "Groat scott , is it possi
ble that you are familiar with the
Swedish language ? "
"Yes , sor. I talk anything ye
loiko. I speak nine different languages
and chen tobacky in my own native
doiloct. What did ye wish to ax
him ? "
"Why , ask him how many children
he has. "
The Irishman turned around to the
man , took a full breath , looked up at
the oeilling and said ;
"The gintleman desoires mo fur to
ax yes how many kids yp have and
don't bo all day about it aither. "
The man followed this remark close
ly all the way through and then in
the purest Wyoming said that ho had
two ,
Mr , Mills was glad then that ho had
sent out for an interpreter who was
familiar with nine different languages ,
because it seemed to facilitate business
and place all the parties on an equal
footinn.-Bill Nyo.
