SUGAR BEET CULTURE.

In an issue Of the EAGLE a few
weeks since we spoke of sugar beet
culture, since which time Mr.. Smith
wrote to parties in Illinois regarding
1t and received the following:
CHATswoRTH, ILL.,, Feb. 25, 1873.
Nr. Wm. 4. Smith, Wichita, Kaasas:
DEAR SIR: In regard to beet cul-
ture: They are planted in rows with a
fourteen-inch drill. pretty thick, and
when they come up they are thinned
TO about twelve inches apart. The
drills are then formed into cultivators
by attaching the plows. The beets
yield from seven to twelve per cent.
They first go in through the washing
machine. thence to the grinder, thence
to the sanctefinians and pressed. The
Iuice is then carried to a large copper
boiler, thence to another boiler, and
thence to another small boiler, thence
through bone coal, thence through
small boilers again, thence through
sanctifinians again, where il was form
ed into sugar, and thence to the drying
tables. and afterwards barreled. |
think your soil is just what is neces-
sary for beet raising, as it requires
sandy soil. Please let me hear from
you again, and if you succeed in beet
raising will be glad to inform in any
way pertaining to it.
Yours, respectfully,
GEO. w. PERRIN.

An unintelligent foreigner, who is
quite unable 10 appreciate aud under
stand American manners, writes home
that "when a great man dies in the
United States. the first thing done is to
propose Il fine statue in his honor !;
next TO raise part of the necessary
money: next TO forget to order any
statue, and last to wonder what be-
came of the money"

tornado in the shape of a kernel of

Hints for the Season.

Spring is already at our doors. The
cold and chilly winds of winter have
been succeeded by the warmer ones OF
spring; and the farmer should now
bcstir himself to make all the necessa-
ry preparations for his spring work.
All farming utensils. such as plows,
harrows, rollers, harness. etc, should
be carefully examined, to see if any
repairs be necessary, and if so, they
should be attended to at once There
is much work which the farmer NAV
do at this season of the year, and thus
greatly forward his work when the
busy season arrives. Some farmers
are in the habit of leaving all their
preparations for spring work until
the time arrives TO commence. They
are then in such hurry that they can
not do anything as it should be done.
There is an old proverb which teaches
us that there is time for all things.
In all cases where spring crops can
be put in early, they shOnld be. Early
sown crops almost invariably bring
the most profit to the farmer Espe-
cially was this the case the past season.
The drOuth, grasshoppers and army
worm. in some sections of country, al
most entirely destroyed the late crops,
while the early ones were, as general
thing, but very little injured. But
there is an error with some in this.
They. III order TO get their crops in
early. will work their ground when it
is entirely too wet. This is bad prac-
tice. for they not only injure the crop,
but il is also a very great damage TO
the land, especially if il is of clayey
nature. Ground of sandy nature is
not so easily injured.
The farmer should attend well to his
stock. The storms and the inclement
weather Of this season are more severe
on stock than steady. cold weather.

TWO SIDES OF LIFE.

There is shady side of life,
Aud sunny side ~ well,
And Ms for every one TO say
On which he'd choose to dwell;
For every one unto himself
Commits grieyous sin,
Who bars the blessed sunshine out,
And shuts the shadows in.
The clouds may wear their saddest robes.
The sun refuse to smile,
And sorrow, with her troop Of ills,
May threaten us the while;
But still the cheerful heart has power
sunbeam to provide,
And those whose souls are dark
Dwell on life's shady side.

A "Ring Thief" ESCAPES.

Harry Genet member of the Legislature
and one of the recently convicted ring
thieves of New York, stole himself away
last week. Since his conviction he had
been in the custody of Deputy Sheriff
Shields, at his residence. Shields sat up
with him the last night until three o'clock.
Genet then asked permission to go up stairs
to see his wife, saying it may be the last
time. Shields was satisfied it was all right,
as he had allowed him to do the same thing
the night previous, and he had returned
promptly. Shields felt fatigued and fell
asleep, not awaking until o'clock next
morning, when he discovered that his pris-
oner was not to be found. He spoke to
Mrs. Genet, but she denied that she had
seen her husband at all, and said that he
had not come up stairs. Shields then went
to the Central Office and informed Super
intendent Matsell of the escape. A gener-
al alarm was Immediately telegraphed over
the city.
Genet was seen driving through Harlem
at 8 o'clock next morning. Persons who
saw him say he made no effort to disguise
himself. 1t was suspected at the District
Attorneys Office on Saturday that an at
tempt would be made by Genet to escape,
and an order was given by the Courts for
his confinement in the Tombs until his
sentence had been pronounced. The order
Of the Court was signed by the Sheriff.
The latest rumor in regard to his escape, is
that he embarked on his own yacht, which
had been loaded by provisions, and filled
with friends in readiness for his fight.

On Short Time.

1t does not take long preparation for q
marriage If the loving couple mean bust
ness. j. @. Adams, of Michigan, had lived
a bachelor till he was forty and had no
time to lose. He went into dressmaking
shop in Detroit one morning and asked the
head business women il she could make a
merino dress by three o'clock in the after
noon. She said she could. John Quincy
went out and came back Immediately lead
ing an Audrey looking girl of about seven
teen, wearing calico dress and straw hat.
She had bundle Of stuff for dress under
dress, and sat down at a sewing-machine
and helped. John walked up and down in
front of the shop, as constant admonition
that he was experimenting the contract
The gown was finished ON time and the
girl put in it. In the meantime John had
hailed preacher-looling man and asked
him if he could hitch up couple for life.
He said that was branch of his business.
He was retained, John asked the proprie-
tor of the shop if she had any objection to
the use of the dress where it was made
She had not, and SO John Quincy Adams
and the Michigan Audery stood up and
were married in that dressmaking sanct-
nary. John emptied his pockets of nickels
and pennies, all the money he had, a bushel
in bulk, 1925 by count, and give it to the
preacher for having detained him. And
that business pair walked out into the wide
world, arm in arm, looking happy. Bliss
is cheap in Michigan.

A young couple entered the cars at
Omaha and were assigned to the section
designated on their tickets. The bride
(for 80 the young lady was at once classi-
fed by the other passengers) was pre-
possessing, complaisant, and evidently de-
voted to her liege lord. The groom was
young, tolerably handsome, and very
proud of the trusting young woman nest
ling by his side, and SO they passed the
very delightful hours that intervened be-
fore reaching Grand Island, but here their
dream of happiness was suddenly disturb
ed. A middle aged man hustled into the
car, and as he confronted the young couple
there was look of astonishment on the
part of the young man, and scream of ter
ror on the part of the young lady. The in
truder was the stepfather of the young
lady, who was not yet bride, but hoped
to be on reaching the first station where an
officer could be found to perform the cere-
mony that would unite her to the man of
her choice. A few threatening words from
the irate father caused the brave young
knight to succumb and leave the train his
weeping affianced giving herself reluctant
ly to the charge of her father.
But though defeated, the young knight
was not subdued, for he silently stole away
to the baggage car, told his sad tale to the
sympathetic baggage master, was permit
ted to ride concealed among the trunks,
and when the train reached Sacramento he
managed to apprise his sweetheart of his
presence in time to whisk her away and
cred that the young man had been fellow
passenger all the time that he supposed
him to be in the neighborhood of the Mis-
souri, river.
