Total Abstinence and Longevity. A few days ago our correspondent)! Percy” referred to some statistics ob- tained by the iavestigating committee of the British Medical Association purporting to show that total abstainers do not live so long as those who drink moderately. Aaj was to be expected the total abstainers are | not disposed to accept the results of these figures which have caused no small commo- tion in their canks. The London Lancet, than which there is no highor med‘eal authority among serial publicatio1s, in its issue of July 25ch, deals with thece statis- tics. The Leet remarks that it is unsat- isfactory that returns were received fro... only 178 pcactitioners giving returns of but) 4,374 deaths. After reproduciag the table! as recently published it adds: —‘*No wonder that the teetotallers refuse to accept such stacistics. It may still be believed that really temperate peeple, who take their alcohol with extreme moderation, fare betier! and live longer than those who absolu vely | abstain Many men of great authority, and judgment think 80 But it can | scarcely be credited that the decidedly | intemperate live longer than tee- totaliers, and that free drinkers and care- less drinkers live much longer. Such con- clusions raise the strongest suspicioa of the value of the statistics. We are sme Dr. Isaim- bard Owen would handle his materials with! impartiality, but we cannot accept them as a serious contribution to a very interesting social and medica: question. To expect medi- cal men to say of a patient who died three years ago to which of five classes of drinkers’ he belonged, is to expect too much. ‘ Careless drinkers are thus defined. ‘They are neither intemperate nor free, yet don’t confine them- selves within a rigid rule, do not object to spirits occasionally as a beverage, at times drinking between meals, or even getting drunk occasionally, but not making either a prac- tice or a habit, and on the average not materially exceeding the ‘physio- logical amount’ of one ounce and a half of pure alcohol daily.. We decline to recognize such habits as fairly within the definition of temperance as sanctioned now by medical authorities, and we gravely suspect the figures which credit such men with a) longevity of 8.45 years greater than that of abstainers, who have their faults and even: their diseases, and who die in spite of abstin- ence, but who certainly escape or ae under” many diseases and degenerations whic shorten and impair life. Weare not sorry that these statistics have been published. But, we shall be sorry ndeed if they lead men to; drink ‘‘carelessly,” and they are to be. num- bered by millions—into thinking they do so} with impunity. Ualess medical experience and pathology are altogether unworthy of trust, that is an illusion. ciontesgesiiieiaiaati iit asain In Short.

HARVESTING PROGRESSINO RAPIDLY UNDER FAVORABLE CONDITIONS. The Winnipeg Free Press of 29th ult, publishes reports of the crops from every portion of Manitoba, »which it thus sum- marizes: ‘* Harvesting throughout the pro- vince and Assiniboia commenced in most cases from five days to a week ago and is now general. Many thousands of acres have already been cut and if the royal weather of the last few days continues the results will surpass all expectations, A careful examination of the reports which have been arranged alphabetically for pur- poses of easy reference, shows that the yield of wheat promises in nearly all, if not all, cases to be as great as it was last year, averaging from 25 to 35 bushels to the acre. The average yield of barley is esti- mated in most cases at about 40 to 45 bushels, and extra yields run all the way from that-up te 60, 70 and even more. The yield of vats seems to vary between 50 and 80 bushels to the acre, the hay crop has in many cases been most excellent, and vegetables, especially potatoes, are a heavy crop in nearly all localities. The acreage of cereals will be much greater than it was last year, the ‘additional amount sown in barley being being particularly noticeab!e, The crop is certainly most magnificenc, and the prospects of getting it ail in are ex- cellent. The tone of farmers is almost wni- formly hopeful, A great deal depends on the next few days. We are ia the midst of harvesting one of the grandest creps the world ever saw, and should noth- ing occur to mar our splendid prospects, immediate, a marvellous prosperity for Northwest Canada is assured. ee Farm Notes. Russian eggs are selling in England at six cents a dozen. Keep all kinds of young stock in a thrifty condition. It never pays to economize in the feeding of young animals. Once stunt- ed they never recover from the effects of the neglect. Here is the Arab test of a good horse, which every farmercan apply. it is simply to observe your horse when he is drinking out of a brook. If, in bringing down his head, he remains square without bending his limbs, he possesses sterling qualities, and all parts of his body are built symme- trically, In selecting a family cow, especially when the milk is to be used by children, make sure that the cow is the mother of a healthy and thrifty calf. There is no better evidence than this of the good quality of the milk and the good health of the cow. A few nice lambs kept about the yard will answer the purpose of a lawn mower and will grow into money at the same time. It is an item to be abie to to get a market value out of the grass that is generally wasted around dwellings. A large quantity of bran has been fed tu beeves in the West and Northwest of late, and the extensive millers are now keeping large herds to use up the bran, as this is found to be more profitable than selling it. The same weight of bran has been found better for feeding to cattle than of corn, makitig as much meat and of better quality. For young cattle bran is the best of all foods, as it provides every nutritious element required for growth. Farm economy is not in working fourteen hours a day and doing chores after dark, plowing with an old, worn-out plow when the quality and quantity of work can be nearly doubled with a new improved plow, neglecting a valuable gardeu for the sake of saving a day and a half expense for labor, and buying an inferior article be- cause it is cheap. True economy consists in making a reasonable amount of work accomplish the greatest results, which can only be done by careful study and labor- saving implements, buying no more nor less than is needed for the family comforts, and procuring the best always. There was a heap of philosophy and sense in the reply of a Catholic priest when ' besvught by his poor farmer parishoner, to ‘pray for a fruitful harvest on an impover- | ished field, who replied, as he looked at the spindling stalks: ‘* This is a case that don’t yield to prayer—this field needs manure.” ‘This came to mind as we read Mr. Smith’s description of his potato field, heavily laden with all the vines potatoes need to have; and that, too, from one-eye seed. He has been doing his praying with fertilizers. That is the ‘effectual and fervent” kind that is auswered with— potatoes. te te Local Notices. New oatmeal at Beer & Goff s.
