The Michigan Issue calls attention to the fact that within the last four years more than twelve hundred saloons and eighteen breweries have been put out of business in Michigan, and that with- in less than three years more than twenty-five thousand saloons have been abolished in the United States. The curse of liquor is seen not only in the degradation of those who indulge in it, but it is especially a blight on the children who follow them. This fact should arouse all who have any regard for the weak and helpless. Speaking of drink and infanticide a note in the Luthern Standard says: "Eighty years ago when the Norwegians were a drink- ing people, three hundred out of every thousand children born, died before they reached their first birthday anniversary. Now, since they are a sober people, the ratio is eighty and ninety per thousand In Bavaria, where the drink evil still exists, out of every thousand, three hundred do not survive one year. Of the 237,000 born last year, over seventy- five thousand died within the year." This is race suicide in such horrible proportions as to blanch the cheeks and appal the hearts of all who are not dead to all that is good. All alcohol and all things of an alco- holic nature injure the nerve tissues. —Sir William Gull, physician to Queen Victoria, in. Union Signal.

Hay, postmaster of Listowel, one of the best known men in Perth county, died at his home here -at 5.45 o'clock Saturday night. He had been unwell for a year, and underwent an operation in Toronto about the be- ginning of the present year, which only gave temporary relief. Mr. Hay was a native of Forfarshire, Scotland, and came to Canada when he Was six years of age. He was the third son of a fam- ily of twelve, his eldest brother being the late D. D. Hay. He was for years one of the most active and influential Liberals in this riding, and had long experience in town and county munici- pal matters.

Churches and schools flourish, the spiritual out- look is hopeful, and the saloon is prac- tically banished." ' In the future the McGill arts under- graduates' dinner will be a "dry" func- tion so far as intoxicants are concerned. The vote stood: For 38; against, 138. Public gambling became a crime in Nevada on October lst, when the new law against betting on games of chance went into effect. Now there is no state in the.Union in which gambling is not outIwed, as an offense against public policy as well as good morals. Just as the sawmill needs wood and the flourmill needs grain to make the business profitable, so the liquor dealers need boys—and they plan to get them. Should the saloon in your . community put forth a truthful, unmasked adver- tisement, it would read something like this: "Wanted—One hundred boys for new customers; old ones dropping off— ten committed suicide, twenty in jail, fifteen sent to the poorhouse, five sent to the insane asylum."—Temperance Torchlights. "Most people", says a recent writer on alcohol, "have noticed that a drunk- en man usually says foolish things and does. foolish things. He thinks he can run farther, jump higher, work harder, write better, or count faster, with the aid of alcohol than without it. But this is all pure fancy." A typesetter, who was a moderate drinker, was put to the test of working for four periods of fifteen minutes, on four successive days, taking no alcohol on the first and third days, and three tablespoonfuls on the second and fourth. On the first day he set up 2,339 letters, and on the second only 2,212. There was a corres- ponding difference between the third and fourth days. And yet the man thought that he was doing more work with alcohol than without it. , SALE lit.

Miss Rebecca Jackson, who was vis- iting with relatives and old friends for several months building up her health, has resumed her position on the staff of Mimico Industrial School. Wednesday of last week Thos. Miller, a well-known bachelor of the 6th line, did a sensible thing when he took unto himself a Wife in the person of Miss Myrtle Wilson, of Elma. May their joys be many is the wish of a wide circle of friends. Mr. and Mrs. Miller will reside on the groom's fine farm. At the last Council meeting George Barkley, of Brussels, was awarded the contract for the cement abutments for a new steel bridge on the 8rd line, and the superstructure will be put on by the Stratford Bridge Co. The complet- ed work will total about $3,500. Timber is being gotten ready by James Speir, 6th line, for barn enlarge- ment and improvement en the farm owned on the' 12th of Grey. He is a thrifty farmer with good home help. R. B. Alcoek's tender of $3,6$2 was accepted by the Council for the Nichol drain and Thos. Alcock gets the Mur- ray -Lamb drain at $4,245. Both jobs are to be finished in 1911. The Alcock bays are developing into big contractors and do their work well. (about four-fifths of the air is hitregen gas), .and transfer it to the growing plant, Thus, by the aid of these nitre - gen -gathering bacteria the clover plant is able to get its supply of this most valuable fertilizing element, nitrogen, from the air, instead of having to de- pend upon what is in the soil, Thisex- plains the fact which every farmer knows, that clovers and other closely related crops are such good soil enrich- ers. When these crops are plowed under, the extra amount of nitrogen which has been stored up in them be- comes available for succeeding crops. It is absolutely essential that the nitrogen accumulating bacteria be pro- sent in order that the ,storing of nitro- gen in the clover plant be accomplished, If a clover or alfalfa crop has been successfully grownas shown by thrifty, vigorous growth and the presense of plenty of nodules on the roots, it indi- cates that the necessary bacteria are already present in the soil, and ready to penetrate the roots as soon as ger- mination of the seed occurs In the case of a new or unsuccessful seeding, however, it is probable that the bac- teria are not present, and they should be supplied by some method of inocula- tion. Experience has shown that the most satisfactory method of inoculation is to apply the bacteria directly to the seed before sowing. This is the method to be followed with the culturers sent out by the College at Guelph. Last year there were 3,375 of these bacteria cultures sent to 1,881 farmers, and of 771 who returned reports, two- thirds stated that the inoculation of the seed had aided in securing a better crop. During the present season the College will send cultures for the inoculationof the following kinds of seeds—Alfalfa, red or mammoth clover, alsike clover, white clover, crimson clover, vetches, peas, beans, sweet peas. Each kind of seed requires a different culture. The cultures are sent by mail with full in- structions for their use. There is only one size' package prepared, that being sufficient to treat sixty pounds of seed. There is a nominal charge of 25c. for each package of culture to . cover cost of material and postage. Applications should state the kind and amount of seed to be treated, and should be ad- dressed with enclosed postal note, stamps, or money order, to S. F. Ed- wards, Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, Canada. . HELPING THE CLOVER SEEDING. During every season since 1905, the Bacteriological Laboratory of the On- tario Agricultural College has sent out to farmers and others, cultures of bac- teria for inoculating seed of alfalfa and other clovers in order to aid in insuring a better catch of the seeding. The bacteria sent are of the kind which live in the small nodules or "knots" which are naturally formed on the roots of clovers; and which may usually be read- ily seen when a clover or alfalfa plant is dug up and the earth carefully broken away from the roots so as not to break the nodules. It is the business of these bacteria to draw upon the great supply of nitrogen in the air C. N.

Elson, editor of The St. Catharine) Journal, published in the centre where objection to reciorocity in fruit is strongest, has the courage of his convictions. He has issued a bro- chure on reciprocity containing reprints of Journal editorials dealing with the matter in various aspects and strongly supporting the agreement. In a dos- ing reference to the loyalty cry he says:—"If we have lost our national pride, if we have forgotten the nobility of our pioneer ancestors, if we are pre- pared to repudiate the valor we have shown in the past and abandon the as- pirations we feel for worthy accom- plishments in the future, then the soon- er we lose our identity the better. A people so utterly weak and imbecile as to be unable to trade where they choose without danger of moral decay are a discredit to themselves and to their for- bears. They out of charity should be gathered in by some power and taught the first principles of true patriotism." By an unanimous vote the Manitoba Legislature rejected the terms offered by the Dominion Government of the settlement of the boundary and other questions. The legislature idemnity in Manitoba and Saskatchewan has been increased to $1,500. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIsAAAPIA A s- NEVER BE WITHOUT BABY'S OWN TABLETS.
