Be complish the change of time. To-day Col. Williams opened the Linderman hotel to the traveling pub- arriving here by the same Joseph dailies arrive twelve hours We would like to get Tue sooner, but do not sce how to ac- lic, and is well prepared to make his The Linderman fills & want long felt in our city, and many a tired drummer will bless the day that furnishes so much better ac- commodations than our hotels former- ly could do. Theold M. E. church is being torn down to make room for a large brick block of business rooms, and the M. E. folks will soon begin work on their new church, which will be one of the finest buitdings in the city. Builders, carpent ers and painters will have their hands full of work this summer, Many new residences are now under way, to make room for in- creasing population. The Clarinda flouring mills of Sweeney, Hutton & Co., were closed most of last week while the machinery inside underwent a very thorough overhauling and some ex- tensive improvements, This firm, composed of experienced millers, spares no pains to furnish their mill with first class machinery and they are now turning out flour good enough for anybody. They have taken ad- vantage of every available improve- ment in the process of producing flour and have steadily and surely built up a market for all they can make. If you want aice biscuit, send to them for your flour. Our merchants evidently anticipate a large trade in dry goods, boots and shoes, hardware and farm implements for they are laying in a larger stock than ever before. The discussion of the temperance amendment to the state coustitusion oes on actively, and The Herald has now come out in favor of it; this makes at least three papers in this county supporting the amendment, and the people will certainly endorse those so favoring it. Tuydsc. Prohibition, [Communicated. ] " The Rev. Mr. Cordley says, in con- cluding his statement as to the effect of the prohibitory law in Kansas, that drunkenness in Nmporia, which was a common sight for two years previous, is now almost unknown. That prose- cutions for drunkenness have been re- duced to the minimum and the po- lice court might almost be routed out,if it were not for the prosecutions of the liquor dealers, and this state of things is not confined to his own town, but represents the great mass of the interior towns. In most of the villages and country places the work is still more thorough, and the traflic is stamped out altogether. Official figures show that during the first three months of the opera- tion of the law the number of United States licenses granted had been re- duced more than” one-half; the num- ber of retail saloons had been reduced 54 per cent; the number of wholesale liquor houses had been reduced 67 per cent, This was done in spite of the fact that the law was ignored in four of the largest cities of the state, and that it had been nowhere enforced with as much thoroughness as since that time, The law needs improvement in some points which it will receive in time; it needs patience to do its per- fect work; it needs time to become regarded as the settled policy of the state. Meanwhile no public man ventures to take ground agamnst it; the papers that discredit it, do not ostensibiy op- pose it, and most who criticise it, ad- vise obedience to it, and admit that it has ‘“‘come to stay.” A gentleman, who recently spent several months in central and southern Kansas, traveling the entire length of the state, from Atchison on the Missouri river to the frontier, 50 miles west of Dodge Oity, visiting county seats and many of the larger towns, says the law is enforced with fully as much rigor as other statutes. Violators of the law have been ar- raigned before courts, convictions have followed, and heavy fines im- posed. At an association recently held twenty-five ministers met, and twenty-three of them reported from a partial to an entire success in the en- forcements of prohibition in their re- spective towns, The distillery in Topeka stopped manufacturing in Kebruary, and its owners are going to remove it to a license state, acknowl- edging that the business has become disugreeable, dangerous and unprofita ble. A representative of the liquor traflic at Kansas City, Mo,, says: **We seud no more liquor agents into Kansas,” Recently av Beloit five saloon keepers and two druggists were convicted by the district court in sums of from $100 to §400 each for violation of the law; and a multitude of similar instances might be produced, showing that pro- hibition does prohibit in Kansas, The cry that people in large num- bers, are leaving the state because of the law is a sensational one, gotten up by the liquor party without any basis of truth, 8o far as can be learned not one vaulable citizen has left the state because of prohibition. In our next we will introduce to the readers of Tur Bk Gov. St. John, whose evidence on the success of pro- hibition in Kansas should be entitled guests comfortable to favorable consideration, L.

Prof. Brown, of the Ontario agri. cultural college, delivered an able ad- dress before the Markham Farmers elub, The Rural Oanadian says: Prof. Brown is a strong believer in tho early maturing of beef cattlo. He contends that a two-year.old, prop. erly handled all along, will always re. turn more money for its time and woight than a three-year-old can pos- sibly do. On the nuh"vrt of proper handling from ocalfhood, he says very explicity, fortifying his statements with facts and finures, and rounding out his argument with a chalenge which ought to attract public atten tion. He said “With referencoto the question of greater proht to bo oblained by gt ting rid of beef when two years old, 1 wish to make an important | an nouncement to the province, though your agency. Tt is a facy, as T donow and have elswhere publicly stated, that the loss or gainto the province alone is not less than §1,000,000, it is surely worth while to prove it thor- oughly. We have several times given practical proof by the actual cost of producing two and three year old steers at our farm; but, in order to face the country and drive tho lesson home as hard as possible, I am pre pared, on having government consent, to exhibit, say throe . or four steers, two year old Short-horn grades, at any or all our principal shows next year, against a similat number of three year olds of the same kind, on condition that the exhibiters submit a statement of the exact amounts and kinds of food given twclve months previous to date of exhibition, with the weighta of cattle at same date. The judge or judges would then be asked to do five things: 1 Value the animals as they stood by age and weight twelve months prev- ious to exhibition. 2. Value the foods eaten for twelve months, 3. Allow twelve months’ intereston value of three year olds, as they stood when two years old. 4, Value them at date of exhibition acccrding to weight and quality, 5. To prove age. This would be simple enough, and I give fair warning that I would show animals that will make the beam kick at 1,600 pounds, not pampered or any Wway prepared for the occasion, but getting plenty of corn meal, or pea wmeal, or crushed oats, as the cass may be, with turnips, hay, straw and bran —no condiments, nor linsced meal nor oil cake, but straight, liberal feed- ing, as an ordinary and profitable in- vestment for the export trade. In order to draw the public on this subject, I shall be glad to give §25, if the Provincial Association or the Toronto Industrial give $20 also, 80 as to make a §50 prize.” For stall feeding the professor would relect, first, the Short-horn and its|! grades; next, the Aberdeen Poll and its grades; third, the Herefords; as- signing the Galloway a fourth place, ‘‘except for permanency of character and quality of flesh, in which respects he bows to none.” The professor is of the opinion that most. oipour stall cattle managers are extravagant in their feeding, for the one prominent raason that they look upon straw as only fit for bedding, or at the most, that only a small quan- tity should bo allowed with hay, and that thero is great wasto of straw per- petrated from ignorance of its femf:g value. The professor's remarks on the grazing of cattle are eminently wise and practical. While not considering Ontario a grazing country, in the sense of having large natural or artificial runs for cattle and sheep, where a feast of fat things can be relied on from May to October, he still con- tends that we are quite able to pro- vide good pasturage, were we only convinced of the importance and practicability of so doing. Too many are contented with turning out the yearling to the bush, the aftermath, and the timothy field—he might have added, the grain stubble. These sources of supply are too precarious to keep the yonng animal constantly improving, 80 as only to need ‘‘top- ping-off” for the butcher. He makes the startling assertion, that were every farm in Ontario possessed of a prop- erly managed five acre permanent pasture plot, the grain to the whole country would be 11,000,000 annu- ally. Yes, we pay too little attention to the cultivation of grass for perma- nent pasture. ‘‘To sum it up, six long years of bed-ridden sickness, costing $200 per year, total §1,200—all of this expense was stopped by three bottles of Hop Bitters, taken by my wife. She has done her ewn housework for a year since, without the loss of a day, and I want everybody to know it, for their benefit. —N. Farmer. Could Speak any Language. The other day a Swede in the em- ploy of the Union Pacific road, went into Division SBuperintendent Dickin- son’s officer to get transportation for himself and family to auother part of the road, He couldn’t speak the En glish language at all and Mr. Mulls could not of course ascertain the ex- tent of the applicant’s family, 8o as to provide the proper pass for him, He tried to speak some Swedish, but the fact is that Mills has been in this country so long that he has almost torgotten the language. He motioned to the applicant to go and get an interpreter, or words to that effect, and at last made him un- derstand, The man went out and re- turned with an Irishman, Mills said, *‘Great scott, is it possi- ble that you are familiar with the Swedish language?”’ “Yes, sor. I talk anything ye loike. I speak nine ditferent languages and chew tobacky in my own native doilect. What did ye wish to ax him?” “Why, ask him how many children he has.” The Irishman turned around to the man, tovk a full breath, looked up at the ceilling and said: ‘“T'he gintleman desoires me fur to ax yes how many kids ye have aud don't be all day about it aither,” The man followed this remark close- 1{ all the way through and then in the purest Wyoming said that he had two, Mr, Mills was glad then that he had sent out for interpreter who was familiar with nine different languages, because it seemed to facilitate business aud place all the parties on an equal footing, —{Bill Nye.
