THE COURT AND LICENSE. The Supreme Coat rules that, " Wheth er licenses should be grantedis a legisla tive not a judicial . question. Courts sit to administer the law fairly as it is given to them and not to make or repeal it." -Under our present license law the Court has some discietionary authority. It is important to the people that they know its proper limit. otherwise they &reliable to censure the Cc2rt for that which they may themselves I e to blame. In the first pit -4) the law seems to as. sane that no pe. son bas the right to sell alCOholio beverages without st license, and; second, that places where such bey. ,erages are kept and for sale are necessary for the• accommodation of the public. These questions are outside the jurisdic tion of the Court, flied facts . in law, which the Court must keep in view. suppose from a Ward or a town: hip in which there is no licensed house there comes to he_ Court an application signed by fifteen citizens, and a remonstrance signed by three hundred. The remon strance sets forth no s ecific grounds against the applicant for license, but is based upon the evils of the jtraffic. The Attorney for the remonstrance goes over the whOie ground in the case, and finally urges, that it is a fundamental principle in our government that. it is the right of the people to rule, that in this case there are three hundred voters including all the better classes of citizens, against fifteen not noted for gotid standing and respects - lrility in community—that this fact alone should-determine the case against the ap plicant • The Judge remarks that the decision of the Court' on this application rests wholly upon the decision of the question as to whether this case comes properly within tf.e discretion of the Court under the piesent license law. The merit or demer itof the license questin in general . does not enter into this question. That, the law concludes. It is not a question the Court can tray-rse. Does this case come within the proper discretion of the Court? The law must be presumed to intend that for *Wel it provides. It provides for li denstc.l- It recognizes the necessity for li cetis'eil houses. • The entire provisions.of the statute rest on this fact. It provides for license where twelve sign the applica-' tion. The principle on which the "local option law " was bagel, was, that in lo calities-where the pe 1;..1e were opposed to license, there license•should not be grant ed. That law was speedily repealed and the present one enactedin its place. This act is directly opposite in . principle. It provides for the accommodation of the minerity in 'a ccimmunity,_ even though small. If the Court were to adopt the practice of refusing licenses where the majority of the people were opposed fo its being granted, such practice would amount to a practical repeal of the pres ent law and a re-enactment of the one re pealed. This would be clearly an abuse of its authority. The discretion given clearly intends no such thing. It may seem like injustice, a hardship, and a great wrong, to plant liquor agencies in communities against the remonstrance of the masses of the people, but the Court is not responsible for this, wrong. The Court is ever under the necessity of re garding the law as the authoritative ex pression of the will of the people. The man who holds license holds it by virtue of this authority. Deli the agent of the people for this specific purpose. If he dis obeys his instructions by violating the law under which be holds license r -the Court sill revoke it. If it is proved that an applicant has done this the Court will refuse license. Or if there is a much larg e" number of applicants. for licenSe in any community than is ueedei • for the ac commodation of the public, it comes with in the discretion of the Court to grant only tio many as may be deemed neeeessa ,ry te : answer the pOliey of the law. Of the wisdom of this pOlicy the Court is not the judge. That is a question for the people and their lawmaking agents to de ; cide. The Courts are to administer the law as it comes to them. It was General Grant I believe who made this truthful remark, "That the best way to get a bad law repealed was to faithfully administer it. If thenple command one thing while then want another they must expect their commands to be obeyed while their requests are disregarded. - Several legis latures I.l 7 tve,.he n elected Since the pres ent law t•••s been in rot ee. :Witlu but one exceptio the 'artier in the StXte have held thei. "unnal conventions without ex.. pressicig any condemnation of -the repeal of the "local (retina lap,"—or instructing their nominee:4 l n favor of the repeal of the law now in orce. so. that, so far as authoritatiie er -ts•ion of the people is concerned it mu' regarded as in favor . of thci present law. There has been no important qiiestion of State policy before the people for years to justify their neg lect of this question had they desired to make any radical change in the law. The' few who have indicated such __desire by their votes are buta drop in the bucket as compared to the great mass- of voters in the State. The license ticked for is granted. O. J. C.

We call attention to thisrsuhject once.,more, .because, to the great mass of-our- readers in the North and Feat • it is of special interest at the present time. 'Reading-and thinking farmers ad mit that ft pays to furnish warm sta bles, for their live stOdk. Unfortu to nately shey_do not all put their the& • I ry int practice. Thi class of farmers will be inter- - ested in, and, we hope, benefitted by the experience of a correspondent of the Journal of Agriculture. Re says that on the farm where he was raised six cows were kept ; they were well fed but poorly sheltered ;, the 'family had to buy butter in winter. In time a new barn witirwarm stables was built ; the•same number of per sons remained in the ; family; only . three cows were kept and hatter was sold during the summer and winter. After stating these facts the writer adds : "it was the warm stabling ; and that alone, that .wrought the change." We quote this as a practical Hips tration of the . truth of the proposi tion that warm stables not only pro mote the comfort of the animals kept therein but also largely increases the profits of their owners.—From Farm and Garden. In nine eases out of ten when an animal is sick, the digestion is wrong.. Charcoal is the most effi cient and rapid corrective. The hired man came in with the intelligence that one of the finest cows was very sick, and a kind neighbot proposed the usual drugs and poisons. The owner bein ill and unable to exam ine the cow, concluded that the trou ble came from over-eating, and or- dered a teaspoonful of pulverized charcoal to be, given in water. It was mixed, placed irk a junk bottle, the head turned upward, and the wa ter turned downward. In - five min utes-improvement was visible, and. in a few houfs the animal was in the pasture quietly grazing. Another instance of equal success occurred with a young heifer which bad be come badly bloated by eating green apples after a bard wind. The bloat was so severe that the sides were as hard as a barrel. The old remedy, saleratus, was tried- for correcting the acidity. But the attempt to put it down always raised coughing, and it did little good. 'Half a teaspoon ful of fresh powdered charcoal was given. In six hours all appearance of the bloat bad gone, and the heifer Was well. • mr•-=1 a THE GREAT afailiag Specific FOR Ml' COMPLAINT. Plowing and Pulverizing. Our first plowing, smile fifty years ago, was done with a wooden mould board. Then came in the wrought iron mould-board, hammered out by the blacksmith. About forty years ago the introduction of the cast iron mould-board, with 'replaceable points, caused no little excitement among farmers, as these could be. produced so much more cheaply than wrought iron,• and being harder they - wore longer. But on our stony farm the gain was partly counter-balanced by the breaking of the "points," and of ten of the " land-side " and even mould-board itself. A few years lat er the steel mou'd-board and points came into use, and subsequently the chilled iron plows. But during all these fifty c years of improvement, and from time immemorial before that, the chief ends aimed at have been the perfecting of the old instrument, in form, in material, in the frame, in coulters, guiding wheels, etc. The principle has been the same, viz., the cutting off of a furrow slice and in verting it more or less perfectly.' But there has sill the while been the feeling that Jethro Tull was right in claiming that thoragh pulueriz• ing the soil was the great requisite of cultivation. And to secure this we have had a succession of implements devised, as cultivators, rotary dig gers, rotary harrows, etc. Most of them have been valuable so far as they have helped towards dividing the soil, so as to provide a finer seed bed. • But we are inclined to believe that Charles E Sackett has now made such modifications and addi tions to the common plow, as to amount to a radical and most valua ble change in its mode of operation and in the desirable results produced. Here is a general idea of it, : First a surfacellow, which is readily and quickly 'adjusted to cut off two, three, or four Indies in depth of the soil; dad ttirit all 9991 1 leta the bottoel Hints for Housekeepers. Warm Stables. Charcoal for Sick Animals. . of the previous furrow;• Following . this, upon the same bearer or frame, is another plow, adjustable to' tike up a f-übturrow of any desired depth. But this second or _sub-slice, is not merely turned over in a mass upon the top of the first one with only such breaking as the,lilting and turning over will secure.. Quite /different. Upon the frame is an - open-work wrought iron or cYlinder; say forty inches in diameter, which follows upon and smooths down in part the first turned--slice' of land, with its grass, stubble, weeds, etc. The see.. and furrow is thrown info this re volVing wheel, and carried round and round on its inside, among its teeth, and against its open-work bars on the rim and - outer side, and it is - so ,broken and. pulveriied that it drops out upoti the buried so& or surface furrow. The result, is, that the soil is pulveriZed quite as 'Mich as it could be done with roller and harrow, and without♦ any trampling or packing-by teamsi it is le ft light and fine and in excellent condition-i for receiving seed.' There is • also provision for attaching both Seed drill and fertilizer distributor.; In brief, at one operation the soil is plowed, finely divided ; sod, stubble, etc., buried, and seed sown. •-.' There are several' simple, ingenious ileVices for raising and lOwering the plows and wheel s, for various depthsj for turning at the side of the field, for self-transporting, etc., etc., that would need 'engravings and lengthy deacrip- Lions to explain them fully.—A#teri can Agrioulluriet.' Dr. \mots ' in the . Jomrnol of Chemistry, tells just how to reduce bones with ashes for fertilizing pur poses He says: "Break 100 pounds of bones into small / fragments I and pack themin a small cask oil box with 10 , J polinds of good wood ashes which have previously been' mixed with 25 pou-nds of dry, water-sliicked lime 'and, .12 pounds - of powdered sal soda. ,• 0 40 gallons of water will saturate the, mass, and more may be added_as required.
