Makes a Striking Declaration for Total Abstinence. Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton, K. C. B., was the principal speaker at the Gen eral Assembly of the -Presbyterian church held in the Scottish capital and delivered an address which was a striking declaration for the cause of temperance. Sir Ian, it will be re membered, pledged himself to total ab stine ace just a year ago, and it is candidly stated by personal interview ers that twelve months of water-drink lag have not in the least impaired the health. soured the happy disposition or diminished the cheery outlook on life of the distinguished general. Incident ally his pledge has had a most benefi cial effect on the rank and tile of the army and has given a new stimulus i to temperance in both services. In opening his address, Sir Ian said he had come there to strike a blow for Scotland. He thought the finest stroke for Scotland was that of Bruce at Bannockburn, when he raised his tat tleax and crashed the casque of Sir Henry de Bohun as if it were a nut shell. But he believed as line a de liverance for Scotland was to be gained by dealing a stroke at another sort of cask-the cask of whiskey. No longer advancing at the head of the English army, that cask was in the middle of their own camp, and it was there poisoning and lowering the vi. tality and pride and honor of the truest, bravest troops to be found any where. Continuing, the general said that he thought that they in the army were rather showing the way to the civil population. He believed honest ly that any mother sending her son into the army could do so with the as surance that her son would run a less chance of getting a taste for drink than he would in most civil occupa tions. These were no fancies of his, but they were supported by figures. India was a most astonishing case. In the Indian army there were 47 per cent. who were temperance men, at home there were 26 per cent., and they were increasing every year. To put it in another way, the number of temperance men in the army, taking the past two or three years, had in creased at the rate of 2,500 a year. From the medical department of the war office he learned that during the past twenty years the number taken to hospital per thousand had fallen in India to the extraordinary extent of from 10 to 1, and in England from 2.6 to 7. The head of the medical service told him that, directly and in directly, he considered that the great er temperance was very largely re sponsible fcor it. Disease had de creased as temperance increased. It was his opinion that the enemy were on the run, and that they could afford to be bold; and he believed that if anyone could lower the drinking in Scotland by 20 per cent. he would do more good than by adding another province to our empire. LIQUOR AND LABORING MAN Saloon Has Much Better Chance to Exhibit Its Fruits Among Work ing Class Than Among Rich. The Christian Evangelist contends that the liquor business is the great est foe of the workingman, and that he is the greatest loser by the sa loon. The rich man, it says, can get along fairly well. "The money he spends for liquor is not a serious mat ter to him. He runs no risk of los ing his job for drunkenness. His family is not often brought to starva tion or beggary, and when he gets seriously intoxicated his valet or the servant at the club can take care of him, Of course, even among the rich a large proportion of the divorces are produced, directly or indirectly, by hisky. But among the laboring classes the saloon has its best oppor tunity to exhibit its fruits. Its effect on character is no worse, but its economic results are vastly greater and worse." What Ru'ms Girls. Of all the ten or twelve thousand mfortunate girls and wrecked women rrested every year in Chicago. mong those who tell their woes to e, ninety-nine out of every hundred attribute their downfall to the first lass of wine or champagne taken enerally with a male companion, al ays for good-fellowship's sake.

I submit the foiowing as a piatforml for cotton farmers to stand on dur i n the year 19121: First. We will write to the Secre tary of Agriculture. Washington. 1. C., the congVessman from our district. and our experiment station for agri cultural literature, and subscribe tor at least two good farm papers. We will study this literature carefully. Second. We will clean up our farms until they are as neat as pins. We will burn all rubbish in the waste places in our fields and around our farms. We will make our farms look like some one lives on them. We will not leave any places for boll weevils, minks. oppossums, and varmints of many kinds to hide. Third. We will quit the one crop system and resort to diversified farm ing and stock raising. We will grow every farm product necessary for home consumption and some to spare. We will prepare to live at home and board at the same place. If the boll weevil destroys our crop or the speculator forces the price down below the cost of production, starvation will not stare us in the face. Fourth. We will not buy anything on credit except the actual necessities of life. We will practice strict econ omDy until we get out of debt and then we will pay cash as we go. Fifth. We will thoroughly pulver ize our soil a little deeper than it bas ever been broken before. We will have our soil like an ash heap b,!fore we plant our crop. Sixth. We will make full use of all available fertilizing materials on our farms and on soil that responds we will make free use of commercial fertilizers. Seventh. We will study the fer tilizer question and endeavor to pro. portion cottonseed meal and 16 per I cent acid pohsphate according to the probable needs of the soil in each field. Eighth. We will plan to get ahead of the boll weevil and also obtain a good price for at least a part of our cotton crop by planting a very early variety - early in the spring. Ninth. We will plant only as many acres of cotton as we can cultivate rapidly. Tenth. We will keep more and better stock, increase the yield per acre on our farms, use stronger teams and more labor-saving farm imple. ments. "The crowd hiss me, but I applaud myself at home when I contemplate my money in my treasure chest." Ho it is, then, that no one lives content with his condition, whether reason gave it him or chance threw it his way? But a great majority of mankind . . -cry, "No sum is enough, because you are esteemed in proportion to what you possess." If length of time makes poems bet ter, as it does wine. I would fain know how many years will stamp a value upon my writings. Hence it Is that we rarely find a man who can say that he has lived happy, and, content with his past life, can retire from the world like a satisfied guest. UNCLE EZRA. "Even the expert tax-dodger hez to o some." "Some men try fur fame an' git thirty days." "Anyone with ha'f an' eye kin see afterwards where he's he'n a fool." "Most ev'rybuddy would like to re write the Bible to suit his partic'lar needs." "Ef on'y ha'f our bad pennies would return we'd be richer than what we be now." "When some folks look the situa tion square in the face they want te do it frum around the corner." Cause of High Prices. Uncle James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, declares that our popu lation is increasing faster than our food production and says serious troule lies in the unnecessary deter ioration of eastern farms. A farmer gets good prices now but it costs twice as much to grow things as it did ten years ago. ROYSTI HITS THE 71e explanaliol everyzigred \lest of our on teresno7ulor. Ferlliers.

Even the old men. he states, possessed the endur ance of youth. They numbered then over 120.0.00. Alcohol and tobacco found their way to them as the island became inhabited by the white race. Men. women and children began to I drink and smoke. in their innocence believing it a blessing. Today the Maoris are a race of physical and moral degenerates, numbering only 41,000."

The present run] i ,Iity a n mixing of varieties is a serious ob stacle to the improvemoent of the c(t ton industry. In a conmunrity thw planted only one kind of cotton th crossing of varieties in adjacent fie!dh and the mixing of seed in gins wotil be avoided, selection could be madc much more effective, and the produe tion of a larger quantity of uniforn fiber would insure higher pricc-s. Th< bureau of plant industry proposes t( give special attention to establishinl improved varieties and methods o selection in communities organized for the production of a single type o cotton. Removal of Warts. Warts are a very common cattle afilicticn. They may be removed in several ways-cut off with a pair of scissors, twisted off with the fingers, or deadened by tying a strong silk thread, a rubber band or a horse bair around the growth close to the ani nral's body. After the wart has been removed the roots should be cauter ized or iodine applied to prevent a re. newal of the growth. Danger of Overfeeding. Dcn't overfced thbe steers in the feca lot. Get them on full feed graduall:. and don't crowd them too much at any time. A steer can make good use Of a certain amount of feed, but whEn that amount is exceeded the waste is larr,e. A medium heavy ration fed for four months will give better results than a heny ration fed for three months. Musty Grain a Poor Ration. There is no economy in feeding rusty grain of any kind to the chick ens. even if it can be had for a enr ter of the price of good grain. The for. is viCl eat it, if other food is with hl'~d. but it is not good for them. Mules Are Not Fully Trained. If a mule is properly trained he will not develop the kicking habit any more than a horse will. Mules have a bad name on this score simply be cause they are not as well broken at horses. Dark Stable Harmful. A dark stable oftentimes brings on i'ye disease. The horse, also the mule, requires light, but it should not shine directly in their faces.
