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.

holic nature injure the nerve tissues.

Mr. Thos. E. 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. A mph of most kindly
temperament, he was held in the high third of our counties are without pris-

tically banished." '
In the future the McGill arts under-

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

"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.

(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

Mr. J. M. 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
