They have already stunk vocation at this time of the year, that of piling brush, sticks and rand upon their houses and getting therm snugged for the winter. The only thing which this unusual state of muskrat affairs stands for, ac- cording to the' old settlers and weather prophets, both of Indian and white variety, in an open win- ter, and people who have followed the actions of the little animals in the past, and aro certain they do not fortell in vain, are resting easy on the fuel score. They say that Western Canada will enjoy ono of the clearest, warmest and most open winters in a number of years and the coal dealers will not find the season anywhere near as profit- able as the one a year ago. W. C. T. U, The Young Man Who Drinks, The time is coining very fast -- indeed, it has already arrived in our commercial life—when a young man who has habits of intem- perance is narrowing very rapidly the possible range of openings in iwhich he ma. may make living. Fifteen years ago, as tin:7- train - master on a division of one of they largest railroads in America told ate, he sat in his office one day and saw a freight train stand for two hours waiting for a number of t1 train crew to recover from intox cation. When the area were abl to handle the train it moved out of the yard. Nov.-, the trainmaster said, if the brakeman or any of the train crew were found under the slightest influence of liquor, or if they were seen even to enter a saloon, they were instantly dis- charged. The idea of keeping a whole train waiting for a man to recover from drunkenness would seem perfectly absurd to the rail- road corporation now. The time will conte when such an idea will seem equally absurd in the Army. A young roan who lost his posi- tion in an office of this same com- pany came to me last year and begged that I would rise my in- fluence to have him taken back by the superintendent of the division. He frankly confessed that he had been drunk, and was unable to report for duty one day, but the next morning he was at his desk. When he appeared, ho received his dismissal. Ho acknowledged his fault, and promised the superinten- dent it would never occur again, offering to let the road take his wages and pay them to his aged father and mother. He pleaded that it was his first offence. I went with an influential citizen to the head of the department where the young than had been employed, and. we stated his case a.ncl pleaded for a second trial, but the superintendent simply said: "This railroad is not in the busi- ness of reforming drunkards or re- claiming young men Past expe- rience has taught us that it is use- less for us to take young Hien back in this way." Press Supt. the turretship Poltava, and have I badly damaged the battleship Ret- vizan and the cruiser Bayan. There is no confirmation of a Russian re -1 port that the Japanese cruiser Ad- zumahas been sunk by a mine. The shareholders of the Harris - ton Pork Packing Co. have unani- mously ratified an agreement for the sale of their property to the William Davis Co. The Iatter will at once take possession of the plant, and carry on operations. By this sale the last of the three Ontario co-operative packing plants passes from the control of farmers into the hands of the old line com- panies. "The farmer cannot increase the market price of his butter," says Hoard's Dairyman, "but he can in- crease the productiveness of his cows, and decrease the cost of pro- duction by making alittle effort to know better and do better." It is possible, as the Dairyman says, to decrease cost of production ; it is also possible to increase the price. There is a difference of four to nearly ten cents per pound between the best and worst of the farm dairy butter sold in Toronto. And the difference is all in the finished product. The raw material is as good in the one case as the other. The statistics of crime in the United States are astounding. The number of murders and homicides in 1902 was 8,834. Causes suggested are foreign immigration, strikes and race -hatred in the South. Each of these has no doubt played its a 0 1) hog feeding. On the 4th of Nov, Ile purchased six hogs and at once penned theta for feeding. the six weighing 966 pounnds. On Thurs. day, Nov. 23rd, he delivered them to Meosrs, Prior & Armstrong, Exeter, .when the six tipped. the scales at 1270 pounds, thus making a gain of 304 pounds, net, or an average of nearly 50 pounds on each hog in twenty days. They were fed on chopped barley and oats in quantities of two thirds and one third respectively. Where such excellent results as these are ob- tained it is proof or demonstration of judicious feeding. HJLL.SGREEN. Special to Tem HERALD. Rev'd. G. W. Andrews, B.

But there is probably a fourth cause, fully as influential as any one of the three. Whether it bo from the decay of Christian senti- ment, or from a. sort of satiety of civilization, there has been in this nation a large outbreak of violence and truculence which shows itself even in sports ; iii the murderous football match and in the prize- fight, which is now a recognized pastime, reported in respectable papers, and beginning to be attend- ed by women. Women as well as men commit assaults. The lan• guage of American journals in ap- p]anding the onslaught on Spain and the raid upon the Philippines was identical in spirit with the lawless violence of which the crim- inal statistics are the record. Na- tional sentiment has undergone for the time, it may be hoped for the time only, a potentous change, of which crimes and violence in the lower strata of society are the natuarl fruit. COUNTY NEWS.
