SOME LIQUOR STATISTICS.
An English Method for Saving Bank Ac
' counts. Buying Money Orders.
Washington August 15. -The
tidy sum of $1,288 ,85,496aB i col
lected in 1908 by 158 cities m the
United States, according to a cen
sus bulletin just issued, which- is
devoted to municipal financial
atatiscs. Twenty-four of the 158
cities were prohibition places, an
advance of ten prohibition citief
in one year. Yet notwithstanding
the decrease in the number of li
censed saloons, there has been an
increase in the receipts from liquor
license, due to an increase in the
cost of licenses among the cities
still allowing the existence of sa
loons. New York and Chicago
from this source alone receive each
more than $7,000,000 in 1908.
The number of licenses for the
sale of intoxicating liquors by the
drink in 1905 was 71,866, in 1907
they were 63,874. This decrease
was not confined to any part of
the country, but is apparently in
every group of states, except in
certain cf the Rooky Mountain
states. The decrease has been
most marked in the South Atlan
tic states. Chelsea and Fitohicg,
Mass., change from no ''license"
to license and caused an increase
of 100 per cent in 1907-8 in the
number of licensed places selling
liquor by the drink .
Despite the decrease in the
number of licensed places, the re
ceipts from liquor license and tax
es by 151 cities increased from
$30,810,833 in 1905 to $89,234,223
in 1907 and to$41,950,188 in 1908
This is explained in the genera
raising of the cost of licenses.
The states having the larges
number of places licensed to sel
liquor by the drink in proportion
to the population are shown to be
TexaB, Wisconsin and New York
Galveston, Texas, sold more liquor
to the population than any other
city, Milwaukee next.

uuBjiasioQ in no uncertain way
For years this great body ofwater-
wav enthusiasts has insisted that
tbe should be an annual Kiver
an i iUrbor bill, failing in which
tnoro should be an issueof bonds to
be ud exclusively for the better
mint of the rivers, harbors and
canals of continental United
Siatot, these bonds to be similar
to the Panama bonds and to draw
.ri iow rate of interest.
bicca the committees of the
two h uses of Congress, dealing
wit be River and Harbor bill,
have t one on record in favor of a
y-- ui !y appropriation for the water
ways, the talk of a bond issue has
dd out, but should Congress re
fuss tu pass a yearly bill at is be
liev. (1 that the agitation for a
bond !asue would be resumed, and
thoEe who heard President Taft in
his last address to the Rivers and
Harbors Congress believe he would
sign j. bill authorizing such a
isiU provided that the projects to
te in-.r roved had the approval of
the Board of Engineers of the
Army and a square-toed declara
tion made that ''wild! cat" or un
marrii irious project would receive
no consideration at the hands of
the co 'umit tee of Congress having
sucn impropriation bills in charge.

) Vacating Pastures and Keeping ail Stock
off of Then From Sept. Mo JbIti.
Thmo'nthof August lends it
self well to the eradication of cat
tle fever ticks, where a pasture
rotation plan is used. By vacat
ing a pasture during this month
and keeping it vacant until July 1
of next year it may be freed of
ticks, and if no tick-infested ani
mals are allowed to enter after
July 1 the pasture will remain
ree. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture advises farm
ers in the tick region to take ad
vantage of this favorable time so
ar as practicable.
Pastures from which live stook
is removed for a sufficient time
become free of ticks by a process
of starvation, as the ticks can pot
ive to maturity if they are unable
to get upon animals. The time
required for all ticks to die after
the stock has been removed from
infested fields and pastures varies
considerably, depending on cli
mate, season, and weathtr condi
tions. Experience has shown,
however, that the period from Sep
tember 1 to July 1 is sufficient,
and this appears to be the most
convenient time.
The advantage of 'vacating
pasture for the period named is
twofold. Not only is the pasture
freed from ticks, but its disuse
during that time will probably
cause less inconvenience and ex
pense than at any other season,
and it will be benefitted by the
rest and will have a better growth
cf grass the following summer.
In some sections where pastures
are utilized throughout the win
ter, to vaoate would probably
necessitate feeding the stock, un
less the farmer is situated so that
he can keep his stock on one pas
ture while another is kept vacant.
But it is also true that beginning
with September there will be a
more abundant supply of rough
feed about a farm which can be
utilized. August is a most favor
able month for making a start to
warding freeing premises of ticks
by the method suggested, :
The animals should of course
be free of ticks when they are
again turned on the pasture in
July. Where the owner has a
small number of cattle, greasing
or spraying them with Beaumont
crude petroleum is a good way to
rid them of ticks. When the num
of cattle is large or when a dip
ping vat is convenient it may be
more practicable to dip them.
Full information as to how to
get rid of the ticks, including di
rections for the preparation of
dips and sprays, may be obtained
free upon application to the Bu
reau of Animal Industry, Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington,
