A eater of high wages. end ,gscd trade xs peso a year ,of deep drinking.- The year 1809— the latest for which Wo hoe° eteele piste stelistiee for Great Britain-, was a year of great prosperity. It W08 a, year Of unpreeedonte4 drunk- enns. Yet to sono extent thie eves foreshadowed hy the preceding years, For during the five years from 1802 to 1.896 there annually occurred 175,628 prosecutions for drunkenness, During the next two .years they rose to 203,357 per ane num, Then in 1839 they sprang uP to 211,298. NoW, the late $Ir Andrew Clarlc stigmatized alcohol es "the . enemy O f the race." Applied to men—Pe- toutial fathers—he regarded the in- crease of drink as alarming ; but teppllect to women—poteetial moth- ors—he deplored it ctS 0, national disaster. That the vice of drunkennees is on the increase •among women is ad- mitted on all hands, Since 1877 the death's of women from intem- perance have increased teem 81 to 40 per cent, Since the same Year tbe ratio to population of ouch deaths hes increased from 25 to 51. During the period in which the deaths of men from the Salne eaMee increased 43 per cents them of Wo- meo.have increased no less than 104 per Cont, ' THE GRAVER CRIMES. As a. serious criminal, woman is not comparable to man. Of those, for example, who are coneleted at the assizes and quarter sessions— that is. of the griever crimes—wo- men only form about 11 per cent., and that • percentage is decreasieg. On the 'other hand, as a compara- tively petty offender, woman must be taken seriously. The returns of the last few years show a steadily increasing number of female offend- ers, and the great majority of these offences consist of drunkenness or of acts committed when drunk. In the last ton years their number has in- ereased 19 per cent. It is obvious, of course, that statistics are not available to prove the increase of drink among women of a superior class, for they drink within doors, and aro carefully look- ed after by relatives and attendants whose Olio aim is to keep the fact -unknown. In teddithin to this, niany women drink secretly, unknown to their relatives, until they have reached a, stage when shame is lose, and the veil is ffung aside. Even in the.. case of the very worst dipso- maniacs, they are either guarded at home by a professional nurse or in- carcerated in 'retreats under cen- ditions of the m.ost rigorous priv- acy. Unless some untoward circum- stance otters, at no point in their career do they come within the cog- nisance of the police, and consee quently they are entirely unrepro- senMd iit the criminal statistics. In order, then, to ascertain the pre- valence of drinking among , women of this class, recourse must be had to the medical and nursing. pro- fessions. And hero there is also emphatic evidence of Increase in drinking among women.

In these clays of /Woo competition, it is not only by keep- ing down the coot of production end preventing all waste that farming can be made 911(005131 u1. Some eources of loss ere here given which readily suggest others, LAM:: OP SYSTEM. One of the chief leaks on many fames is the loss of time and en- ergy because the management is not carried Wit on any definite Systole. A study of any old and successful buelness will show that success has been largely due to a methodical and systematic way of doing things. System may be carried 1.00 far so as to become merely mechanical, but as a general proposition it may be said that after a well defined plan of action has been determined on it should be rigidly saerried out. As mote knowledge is gainedor new ideas acquired, it will be necessary to make changes in the routine, but no change should be made without due deliberation. All work should be carefully planned in advance and all tools and implements gotten ready so that there rimy be no de- lay when operations ectually begin. TISE TIME TABLES. All men employed on the farm should have well-defined duties. to porter& so that their time may be used to the best advantage. A good system provides for the feeding 'of stock at regular hours each day. When stocic aro,fed and watered at regular hours they become accus- tomed to the regularity of feeding, and thrive much uetter than if fed at different hours on each succeecling * FREEZING FILTERS, That frozen water is pure Water hi an idea that has been handed down from generation to generation, and there_ is usually a good deal of feet in these' old sayings, although We may wonder how the people of for- mer times contrived to discover those things. Recent investigations prove the truth of this saying. As water freezes, so the impurities are eliminated, 01111 lf the ice be taken away before tho whole body of wa- ter is frozen, that ice is pure. If tho whole of the water freezes, it fol- lows as a matter of course that the impurities must be included. Thus, in pools where tho water begins to freeze from the top, the impurities are thrown to the bottom, and the ice takeot away from the upper part of the body of water is pure. The wetter that still retains the impuri- ties is the last to freeze. Some makers of artificial' ice peocluce it from water that is not; mere, and they make a hole through the outer crust, before the liquid is completely, consolidated, so as to allow the dirty portion of the fluid to run out. Of bacilli, it is calculated that ninety per cent. are thrown out In freezing, while nine out of every remaining ten are killed by the pro- cess, and .„ thus rendered innocuous. Most of the remaining one per cent. will die in 24 hones melees tho ice be melted. Therefore, there aro very few left to work mischief in our in- ternal economy. Freezing is the best filtering process that caa be de- vised. Sailors bore long told tales et magnetic islands which lure shine on to wreck by /effecting their cone - CARE ov ThiPLEMENTs. A very conunort souree of loss is feline in the neglect et exPensive farm -.implements yid. tools. These are left -lying in tho fields where they have been used, sublect to all the inclemencies of the. weather, which are more destructive than actual use. A workshop shoula also be provided in connection with the tool-houee, so that during rainy - days or other slack periods, im- plements may he painted and neces- sary repairs made. .Much time is lost by farmers, during busy sea- sons such as seeding, haying wad harve.st, because a bolt or some other small part has been lost, and a trip to blacksmith shop or foundry is necessary to replace it. This waste of valuable time nifget be prevented by a little forethought or examination of the implement before it was required for use. In many cams implements are . purchased which the farmer could well do without. • UNNECESSARY STOCK. This is another frequent cause of loss. If a farmer has more horses than are required to carry on the work of the farm, he should sell thom he does not need, if a figure at all reasonable can be obtained. The cow which does not yield en- ough milk or butter to pay a good profit on her keep shoeld be dispos- ed of, dad her place filled by ae- other,-ea few weeks' uso of the scales and :Babcock tester will usually fur- nish some surprising results in this dimction.

SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTS - WITH COOLING nooras, Imnienss Importance •of the Cheese Industry to the Do- minion. Canada has bowie to produce sum- mer cheese of a quality to meet suc- cessfully the most exacting require- ments of the markete ef the United Kingdoni and elsewhere. The modi- fication in the methods of ranking and curing will enable the farmers to obtain about one pound addi- tional of cheese from every hun- dred pounds of milk. That repres- ents nearly ten .per cent. of Increase in quantity. Moreover, the cheese cured in the new way will command In coming years from one to two cents per pound bigher prim. On the averagethat will amount to from ten to fifteen per cent. increase in value per pound. That the United Kingdom appre- ciates Canadian cheese is proved by the fact that while in 1871 85,471,- 362 worth, and in 1801 *9,48-1,378, last year's Ganada's cheese bill to tho Motherland amounted to 820,- 606,951, or over 519,000,000 more than thirty years ago, and; more than double that of tea years ago. In 1901 Great Britain imported n total of 289,731,120 pounds at cost of 530,306,081. Canada con- tributed of that total 195,926,397 pounds, valued at 520,606,951, or more than two-thirds the total time ports. • Ditherto the eupply from Clenada having the finest quality has been of September cheese. There was a good demand for the summer output, but Use curing of it at the high temperature of July and. August weather geve if A HEATED FLAVOR which was disliked.
