CHAPTER I.
Prohibition of the sale of spirituous or in-
toxicating liquors by the state is a totally
different thing from prohibition of such sale
by any town or by the electors thereof in town
iueeting assembled. To the former I am op-
posed, for we tried it from 1854 until 1872,
and it proved in all our cities, and other great
centers of population, worse than useless. It
brought on us besides the evil of numberless
grog shops, another evil of the greatest mag.
nitude, to wit, that of having a penal law
violated with impunity. The moment this is
done there is no security for life or property,
and the very foundations of civilization are
undermined and rendered unsafe. What I
say of the state generally, I affirm was true of
this prosperous and, in many respects, inter-
esting town, in which with my family, I took
up my abode in the, fall of the year 1854,soon
after the initiation of the prohibitory policy,
and where has been my home (with the excep-
tion Of a few months) to this day. During
this period to wit, eighteen years of prohibi-
tion and four of license, grog has in our beau-
tiful village been oblruding its miscreated
front upon us wherever we went. Why
has this been so P I affirm it has not been
for want of law, and abundance of it. I af-
firm that prohibition by the State had attach-
ed to it sanctions and penalties just as severe
and cogent as prohibition-by the town has
now, and I also affirm that license when in-
troduced was subjected to restrictions and
qualifications (all accompanied with penalties
as severe as those attached to prohibition),
which had they been enforced, would have
reduced the evils resulting from the same to
a minimum quantity. But neither under pro-
hibition nor under license has this been at-
tempted, and yet one of the speakers at the
great assembly holden in the Town Hall last
Sunday afternoon expressed emphatically the
opinion that the mere existence of these sanc-
tions and penalties would affright the venders
in our midst out of their dens and makethem
as harmless as so many doves. If more pen-
alties are adapt: d to produce such a wonder-
ful result, why had they not some effect in
Stamford und r prohibition from 1854 to
1872? and un.‘. license from 1872 to this
date ? Let u' .tteiid to the reason or cause
that produced this state of things, as thereby
we can derive from the past, most valuable
instruction for the present and future. I of.
firm that neither the act of 1854 nor that of
1872, contains adequate provisions for its own
enforcement. The latter has in it many pro-
hibitions to which severe penalties are attach-
ed, and therefore the two acts are alike sub-
ject to the above remark. Both acts left
crimes committed by violating their provis-
ions to be dealt with and punished .by such
agencies only as the law provides for all oth-
er crimes, such as assault and battery, theft,
burglary, and the like. Those agencies are
grand jurors,.constables, justices of the peace,
states attorneys, petty jurors, and judges or
courts. It is true that the General Assembly
not long since made provision for the appoint-
ment of an agent in each county to attend to
violations of the license law, with regulations
for compensating him for his services so mis-
erably inadequate as to make the whole
thing little better than a farce. One man
to hunt up and punish all violations of
our license law in the county of Fairfield I '
ImpoSsible, unless he were possessed
Of the attribute of omnipresence, and then
he would have a hard time of it. But as the
gentleman who holds this office for this
county is one of our fellow citizens, 11;: can,
and no doubt will, take an effective part in
executing the will of our people, so emphati-
cally expressed on the first Monday of last
month. From the prohibitory law no revenue
could arise Not so with the license law,
from which a large revenue accrued—not less
than a quarter of a million of dollars annually
—-and this, the u: i. of 187‘) provides, should
be paid over to the towns respectively. The
effect of this was to put the general prohi-
bition of 1854, and the numerous prohibitions
of the act of ’72, in exactly the same category ;
that is to say, without a cent in the state
treasury that could be appropriated for the
enforcement of either. Had the legislature
appropriated annually from twenty-five to
fifty thousand dollars, and put the same into
competent executive hands to enforce fully
the act of that year, (and in my opinion such
an appropriation would have contributed in a
high degree to the public welfare) every grog.
shop in the state could have been shut up
and kept shut up till 1872. Had the act of
the last date ordered the revenue there arising
to be paid into the state treasury the means
for enforcing its prohibitions would have been
ample, and the detection and punishment for
violating its penal enactments made certain.
But in drawing up and passing these acts
there was displayed little of true statesman-
ship, and a great deal of more zeal than sense
or knowledge, consequently both enactments
served to illustrate the truth of the axiom,
“What is everybody’s business is nobody’s.'
No notice was taken of shameless violations
of law in either case, and in both solemn
enactments by the only law-making power
known to our state government were spurned
and trampled under foot. I am, on princi-
ple, opposed to enacting any law that either
cannot, or is not likely, to be enfprced. I
am for that reason vehemently opposed to
any such legislation as the act Of 1854, pro-
vided it is to be treated as that was up to
1872, and as for the act of that year, called
the license act, it has, in my judgment, been
fraught with nothing but mischief. I have
struggled hard, supported by devoted friends,
to get rid of it for several years, but in vain.
It is impossible for me to regard it with any
sentiment less intense than that of cbhm'ence.
Bu: notwithstanding these views, I can; with
perfect consistency, vote as I'did at the late
town meeting for prohibition by the town,
being what is called local option. For no
such proposition can be carried unless public
sentiment calls for it, and will. sustain it, or
in other words. make it effective. But rwhen
we have such an overwhelming display of
indignation, not to say of wrath, as we had
on a recent occasion, on account of the mon-
strous evils with which this community has
been so long tormented, can there be any
doubt as to their extirpation. To realize this
all important object, we must act, and must
do so «rigorously, jmim'mtsly and persecen‘ngly.
And here let me whisper in the ear of some
of my friends the suggestion, “You cannot
put. down grog with oratory.” Grog is like a
cat which you may throw up as high as the
steeple and it will be seen to land on its feet
and will spit in your face, or rather act if it
was about to. Nor can I join another orator
in expressing commiseration for these grog
vendors. Let them first repent of their sins
as we all should, and next “do works meet
for repentance,” or in other words abandon
now and forever this abominable traffic, and
then I will extend to them the right hand~ of‘
fellowship and do all I can to promote their
welfare.

Agricultural Experlments.
BY CONRAD WILSON.
Every experiment in husbandry is intended
to solve a practical question, and to” "solve it
in the most practical way. But the diflicul-
ty with many farmers is that theylack the
patience, or grudge the time required, and
consequently fail to get reliable results. In
nine cases out of ten, a little more time and
careful attention would give at least a reason-
able measurc of success. There is a right
way to do everything, and certainly.- an ex-
periment in husbandry that is worth perform-
ing at all is worth doing well. There are
countless volumes of instruction yet looked
‘up in the soil, only waiting to be developed
by a more perfect system of experiments
than any hitherto attained. .
Such a system is neither impossible nor
difficult, and the recent progress of farming
plainly shows that its advent is near, and
that in due time some portion, at least of the
uncertainty and the contradictions that have-
so discouraged progressive farmers, will'
come to an end.
It is easy to see that in every series of ex-
periments the result depends on the manner
of conducting them, and may accordingly
prove either highly valuable or utterly worth
less. A slight error in a series of trials, or a
single fact overlooked often changes the en-
tire result. Very much of course depends
upon the man. An experiment may be so
conducted by one farmer as to give a false
result, and even sow the seeds of future er-
rors, while the same trial in the hands of a
more competent man may unfold vast results,
and make his name historical by exploding
the delusion of a century. A few examples
.taken from the experience of practical and
progressive farmers will show that there is
not only useful instruction. but a clear profit,
and 'a money value in every sound aud'well
planned experiment.
1 At the Moechern Station in Germany,Dr.
.Kuehn found by a series of trials, that a ra-
tion of 87 pounds of green clover per day,
when combined with about 6% pounds of bar-
lcy straw, and fed to a milch cow, gave the
same product of butter and of milk as 123
pounds of the clever alone. This principle
in feeding, though already partially under
stood by some farmers, was probably never
before so clearly demonstrated, nor so accu-
rately measured. Without stopping here to
explain the chemical laws on which this re-
sult depends, it is sufficient at present to say,
that the saving of clover in this case by sub-
stituting a small allowance of straw, is equal
to 36 pounds per day for each cow, and that
the gain per year, at the same rate, would:be
13,000 pounds of green clover, or nearly a
ton and a half of clover hay, which after de-
ducting the value of the straw, would still
leave nearly a ton of good hay as the net
yearly increase of profit from one cow re-
sulting from this experiment.
2. In another series of trials made at a
German Station, by Dr. Wolff, the object in
view was to test the relative value of beets
and potatoes, both raw and cooked, when
fed to cows for producing butter and milk.
To a daily ration of hay, straw and rape
cake, beets were added, first raw, and after-
wards cooked, and then potatoes in like
manner. On comparing results it appeared
that the rations with
Raw beets gave 248; lb of milk, yielding
8.,l lb of butter per week. . . .
Cooked beets gave 288% lb of milk yielding
9% lb of butter per week.
Raw potatoes gave 283;- lb of milk, yield-
ing 6% lb of butter per week. .
Cooked potatoes gave 248% lb of milk,
yielding 931 lb of butter per week.
These figures are very instructive. They
show that cooking beets increases the yield
both of milk and butter, while the effect
of cooking potatoes is to increase the butter
but to reduce the amount of milk And
what is still more remarkable, the milk from
cooked potatoes, though 34 lb less in amount
is so improved in quality as to yield nearly
half as much again of butter. In other words
the gain of butter from cooking the potatoes
is 2; lb per week for each cow, which is
equal to 100 lb in 40 weeks. This ina herd
of 10 cows would make a difference of
about 10t0 lb of butter a year. ‘
2. In another experiment by a well-known
farmer—Mr. E. W. Stewart—it was found
that two cows fed with a daily ration of hay,
ground peas, oil, meal and bran, gave 16
quarts of milk each per day and made eight
lb of butter per week, when the feed was
cooked. He then tried the same ration un-
cooked and the loss of butter was over 3
lb per week. He then returned to the cooked
feed adding 2 lb more to the grain making
the ration 18 lb and the butter yield went up
to 10 pounds a week for each cow. From
this experiment we learn that when the ration
was cooked the yield of milk was over 2 lb
from 1 lb of feed. Second, that when un-
cooked the product showed a loss of over 3
lb per week from each cow. Third, that
when the cooked food was increased by 21b a
day there was afurther gain of butter amount-
ing to two pounds per week for each cow,
which was at the rate of 1 lb of butter from
7 lb of feed.
4. In feeding pigs the question of profit
has been closely examined by Joseph Harris
not only as to the yield of pork but also as
to the value of the manure. He considers
the manure of a corn fed hog worth half a
cent for every pound of corn consumed.
This is equivalent to 29 cents a bushel Or $10
per ton as the manurial value for corn in ad-
dition to its feeding value.
In one of his experiments which from the
precision of its figures, must have been very
accurately performed, he found that 3511) of
feed given to an Essex pig in one week cost
371,} cents and produced manure worth 43% cts.
Such a result as this is very remarkable, and
if confirmed by further trials would tend to
show that all our previous conceptions of the
value of animal dung have been far below
the mark. .
5. Mr. Josiah Quincy, J r., of Massachu-
setts, gives it as the result of his experience
that a cow when soiled, or stall fed, will pro.
duco 3Q; cords of solid dung, and that the
urine when absorbed will amount to as much
more. To this he adds double the quantity
of dried peat, and finds the entire mass equal
in value to the original dung. and worth from
5 to 8 dollars a cord. This he claims,rendcrs
the manure of each cow equal in value to
the milk.
6. In a series of trials reported by Prof.
Johnston, the average yield from four
different cereal crops showed a gain from
four different manures, as follows: The yield
from cow manure was 24- times greater than
the product of a similar plot unmanured.
From horse dung the product was 3 times
greater than the natural yield, while from
sheep dung the ratio of increase was more
than 8;}, and from blood manure more than
3% times the natural yield. This experiment
also shows that the effect of blood manure
while surpassing all others gave to the barley
crop an increase of no less than 4 times the
normal yield, and to the wheat crop about
the same. -

~HOW T0 511‘ A HORSE.
It is]; recognized principle that a“horse-
man grows from his sea .” By seat is meant
the manner in which the weight of his person
receives the impulse of the horse’s move-
ment. At every step the impulse changes,
and at every change, unless the seat is a
' .'oslled..and-th
smooth action of the horse is disturbed. If
it is good, it is so adjusted as to receive the
changing action with a yielding resistance
to the shock, and to give no undue check to
the motive power. While there must bea
certain ease of displacement there must. also
be an ability to hold firm to the saddle, and,
after leaving it, 10' return smoothly to it.
The real points of attachment should be only
from the knee upward—by the inner flat of
the thigh. Ease of motion depends on the
freedom of the lower leg and the ready flexi-
bility of the loins. 'From the knee to the
hip we need firmness and solidity: from the
knee downward and from the hip upward,
the freest pliancy. No movement of the
horse should be sudden, and no lift in leaping
should be so great, that the thighs ' may not
securely retain their position, and the body
and calves their flexibility. Rigidity of'the
body implies the transmission of force to the
long end of the liver, which is the father of
the fall, while rigidity of the lower legs car-
ries an uncontrolled impulse to the other end
of the lever and disturbs the horse. - The ab-
solute poiut of contact—the point which
never yields its grip—is at the knee only.
In the leap, and to a less degree in the gallop,
these are the constant points of communi-
cation, and however much the seat may be
raised in a strong leap these regulate its safe
and correct return. ‘
Pliancy of the hips and freedom of the
calves are the first objects to be sought, and
it is these which it is the most difiicult for
the mature beginner to acquise. Much help
may be gained from a sort of calisthenic ex-
ercise of the body, swaying from front to
rear and from‘side to side, and moving the
arms in all direction, retaining meanwhile a
firm seat without the action of the calves or
the heels. There should be cultivated too
the ability toreach the toe far foreward ou‘
the horse's shoulder, and to raise the heel
high against his side without materially
changing the‘position of the knee. In short,
the man should learn the new art of moving
his head, arms, body and lowur legs from
his new point of attachment at the thighs
and seat, with the same instinctive ease and
certainty with which he has learned to move
his whole person when resting on his feet.
In proportion as this suppleness has become
complete and instinctive, in that proportion
does the‘man'rembve himselffrom the con-
dition of a suit of clothes stuffed with sand,
which would topple over with the least
movement of the horse—00!. Waring in

A Bowl that Preached a:§ermon-
A city boy by the name of Ferdinand,
whose parents were very rich, took a long
walk into the country. Becoming a little
weary, he stopped at a farm house and
bought a large bowl of bread and milk. He
tOok it out under a shady tree, and sat down
to enjoy the luxury, it was so 'good. But a
little way off stood a poor boy, who had
also wandered out of the city. ‘ He was thin
and pale and looked hungry; but he had no
money, Ferdinand knew right well. At one
moment he thought of dividing the milk
with the poor boy, as the thought came
that it would taste even better to him; but
he smothered his generous impulse, and ate
the whole. On its being emptied he saw at
the bottom of the bowl a picture in blue,
which he began studying a little. Around
’the picture were some printed words. He
read, he blushed; and then, as if suddenly
struck with a thought, he hastened again to
the house, got the bowl filled, and went back
to the poor boy, to whom he gave it, and told
him to eat it while resting by the roadside.
Now for the sermon in the how), that
proved so effective in its work: “He de-
serves to suffer hunger who refuses to share
with the poor.”

”Havana measurements ALAsxA.—'—Th"e'
sea-otter, which constitutes the sole means by '
which these, the only civilized people of our
new Territory, manage to clothe themselves
as we do an‘d'maintain their Church, may be
appropriately mentioned in detail. It is an
animal, when full grown, that will measure
from three and a half to four feet at most.
from the tip of its short tail to its nose, The
general contour of the body is much like that
of the beaver, with the skin lying in loose
folds, so that when taken; hold of. in lifting
the body out from the water it draws up like
the hide on the nap of a young puppy-dog.
This skin is covered with the richest of all
fine deep fur, a jet-black, with silver-tipped
hairs here and there scattered, as is so well
known to our ladies of fashion.
I The sea-otter mother sleeps in the water on"
her back, with her young one clasped between
her tiny fore-paws. Frequent attempts have ,
been made to rear the young sea-otters, as
they are often captured alive; but, like some
other species of wild animals, they seem to
be so deeply imbued with fear of man, they
invariably perish by self imposed starvation.
The Saanack islets and reefs constitute the
the great sea-otter ground of Alaska, and
hither come native hunting parties from
Oonalaska on the west, and Belcovskie to the
north, where they camp on the main Eis-
land, and venture out in the bibarikes ~fif-
teen aud twenty miles in every direction to
sea. Fires are never built here unless the
wind is from the south, and food refuse
is never scattered on the beaches. The suf.
fering to which the native hunters subject
themselves every winter on this island, gOing
for many weeks without fires, even for cook
ing, with the thermOmeter down to'zero in a
northly gale of wind, are better imagined
than described; while the various shrewd
and skillful artifices by which they outwit
the otter in capturing it, would make a
lengthy chapter, if fully enumerated, for this
animal, of all wild ainmals, seems to be pos-
sessed'of the greatest aversion to or dread 'of
the presence, or even the proximity, of man.
The natives, when they go from Oonalaska
to Saanack on a hunting trip Of this character,
usually make aparty of from forty to fifty
men. ~Thcy' travel in their light skin bidarkies,
two men in each, and are gone usually three
to four months at a time before returning to
their families; they haul their kyacks out
from'the water every night as they bivouac
along the coast, and sleep in gales of wind,
which are always loaded with rain, sleet', and
fog, without the least covering, 'andjalmos't’

wants no other, and he is happy where we
would be supremely miserable—H. W. ELLI-
orr, in Hamer’s Magazine for November.
Wimt Sim Astn Tomlin—He was nam-
ed Thomas and she was named Jane. They
sat on a hotel balcony yesterday for three
long hours, and giving themselves dead away
as being out-of-towers‘. As they sat down
Thomas took one of Jane’s hands. She al-
lowed that sort of thing to go on without a
word of protest, and the flaxen-haired youth
finally seized the other one. They talked and
talked, and looked down upon the street, and
sighed, and the hours slipped away. At the
end of the third hour she said:
"Tommy, dearest, Iwant to ask you some-
thing.” ’
“Ask me a hundred—a thousand—41 mil-
lion things !” he exclaimed in reply.
“Well, Tommy, I’ve got an awful cold in
my head," she continued, “and if I drew one
of my hands away and wiped my nose would
you think I was mad ? I have either got, to
do that, Tommy, or let. my nose wipe'vitself.
Just one wipe, Tommy, and then- you may
have it back." ‘ ' ~
Tommy released her hand,though he hated
to, and her nose was softly and duly, wiped.

Autumn Leaves.
“ Come, little leaves,” said the wind, one
. day— '
“ Come over the meadows with me,aud play;
Put on your dresses of red and gold;
Summer is gone and the days grow cold.”
Soon as the leaves heard the wiud’s loud call,
Down they came fluttering one and all;
Over the brown fields they danced and flew,
Singing the softlittle songs they knew :—
“Cricket, good-bye, we’ve been. friends so
long,
Little brook, sing us your farewell song,—
Say you are sorry to see us go;
Ah! you are sorry, right well we know.
“Dear little lambs, in your fieecy fold,
Mother will keep you from harm and cold;
The White Centuur Linimentis new the stand- Fondly we’ve watched you in vale and gladc:
Say, will you dream of our loving shade ?”
Dancing and whirling the little leaves went;
Winter had called them and they were con-
tent.
Soou fast asleep in their earthy beds,
The snow laid a coverlct over their heads.

Helping Papa. and Manima.
Planting the corn and potatoes,
Helping to scatter the seeds,
Feeding the hens and the chickens,
Freeing the garden from weeds,
_ Driving the cows to the pasture,
Feeding the horse in the stall,

Sure there is work for us all,
Helping papa.
Spreading the hay in the sunshine,
Raking it up when its dry,
Picking the apples and peaches,
Down in the orchard hard by;
Picking the grapes in the vineyard,
Gathering nuts in the fall,
We little children are busy,
Yes, there is work for us all,
' Helping papa.
Sweeping, and washing the dishes,
Bringing the wood from the shed,
Ironing, sewing and knitting,
Helping to make up the bed,
Taking good care of the baby,
Watching her lest she should fall
We little children are busy,
Oh, there is work for us all,
Helping mamma.
Work makes us cheerful and happy,
Makes us both active and strong;
Play we enjoy all the better
When we have labored so long.
Gladiy we help our kind parents,
Quickly we come at their call;
Children should love tobe busy,
There is much work for us all,
Helping papa and mamma.

“Wonder Who They’re For.”
My ma’s been working very hard,
And also very sly,
And keeps her sewing out of sight
Whenever I am nigh.
I asked her once what made her stop
Her work when I came in ;
She said she only stopped to get
A needle, thread or pin.
The bureau drawer next to mine
Is locked both night and day,
And when ma wants to open it
She sends me off to play.
I stole a peep one afternoon,
Although it was not right;
But, oh! the little things I saw
Were such a pretty sight !
'I'lie cutest, nicest‘nttie Clothes—
Just big enough for doll;
But then I know they’re not for her—
She needs them not at all.
1 know the’re not for ma nor pa,
Nor me nor brother “Hor,”
For we can’t wear such little clothes;
wonder who they’re for ?

The fourth year of the Boston society to
Encourage Studies at Home has just closed.
The aim of the organization is to give girls
who have left school the opperlunity to carry
on reading and study in certain courses, under
the direction of competentignides through the
medium ofcorrespondence. How popular the
society has become may be judged by the
rapid increase of its membership. In the first
year, 1873-74, 45 names were entered; in suc-
cessive years, 82,298,576, a rate of increase
which has not so far outstripped the zeal and
attention of the committee in charge, al-
though it is difficult to see how a correspond-
ing increase will be met, except by a steady
enlargement of the teaching force. One
hundred and twenty-two students previously
connected with the society resumed courses
this last year. Of the 45 names upon the list
the first year, three have continued each suc-
' ceeding year; of the 8: belonging to the
second year, 9’have continued; of the 298 in
the third year, 110 have continued. Those
who have followed the course of the society
have never had more reason than now to be
glad of the thorough work which it is do-
ing, and the students enrolled upon its lists,
scattered as they are all over the Union, fecla
profound sense of the service rendered them,
which no mere superficial report can express.
The heathen are organizing foreign mis-
sions for the conversion of Christians. The
Hindus of the sacred city of Benares have
founded a society . for the propagation of
Brahminism amougthe Christians of Austra-
lia. ‘An eminent Brahr'nin of the name of Sur- ‘
adschi, a man of great authority, has recently
been visiting some of the English colonies,
and while traveling in Australia was appalled
and grieved at ‘the fearful prevalence of
drunkenness among the Christians. On re-
turning to India he called together a number
of thoughtful Brabmius, to whom he com-
municated his glowing zeal to do something
for the salvation of their degraded fellow
men and fellow subjects in Australia. The
only perfect remedy, he considered, would
be the Conversion of this: Cl. risfians to a bet-
ter and purer faith. A large sum was col-
lected for the pious and benevolent enter-
prise, and some of the Brahmins declared
their willingness to dovote themselves to the
work, and to spend and be spent in this
humane and holy cause. Suradschi is now
engaged in translating fitting passages from
the Vedas into the English tongue, for the
use of the missionaries. ‘
Mr. Longfellow, it is reported by a corre-
spondent of Mr. Leslie’s Illustrated Paper,
considers Thackeray the master of English
prose, and “Esmend” the best written work
in English fiction. He is fond of Mr. Ros-
setti’s translations from the Italian, and as for
Byron, “Byron makes the blood leap!" he
said. “Every poet should be taken at his
best, and by his best should be criticised. By-
ron at his best makes the blood leap 1” Mr.
Longfellow has no preference for any of his
own works, “One may have a favorite
child,” he said, "but it is not so with me. If
I possessed any leanings, they might go out
toward the "Golden Legend,’ but I‘ place
‘Evaugcliue,’ ‘Hyperion,’ and the ‘Golden
Legend‘ in the same category.”
The Baptists of Chicago are making a move
to expurgute Solomon’s song from our Bible.
At a recent meeting of the association it was .
generally agreed that the effort to interpret it
as an allegory of the love of Christ for His
church was unsuccessful. Dr. Owen noted
its resemblance to the songs of Zend Avcsta.
Professor Maimou of the chair of Hebrew in
the theological seminary did not think Solo-
mon wrote the song, and that it was simply
a picture of conjugal love.

“Far be it from us to doubt the" word of a
brother editor,“ says the La Crosse Sun.
“We believe them all to be truthful men;
but when the Durand Times says that the wa-
ter is so low at the mouth of the Chippewa »
river that eat fish have to employ mud-turtles
to tow them over the bar, we feel as though
the editor must be away and somc‘local min-
ister filling his place.”
