The Cultivation OF the Sugar Beet

Approaching this subject with reference
TO the great amount that has been said
about the requirements of a beot-root fit
for an economical manufacture Of beet
sugar, We have in our readings or obser-
vations found only one case in which a
result has been obtained at all sa.isiac-
tory to the cultivator, and we find this in
the last annual report ofthe Massachusetts
Agricultural College, in one of a series
of experiments with sugar.beets by Prof
g. A. Goessmann, professor Of chemistry
in that institution. The experiment was

Eds. Country Genilcman-Iu your
issue Of the 18th Of June, V. f. Piollet
complains heartily Of the miserable con.
dition Of farmers, and his is but one Of
the numerous articles of similar charac.
ter have read in this and other agricul.
tural papers They all complain Of the
injustice done to farmers either by egis-
lation or the want of it, Whose fault is
it? The question is easily answered
when it is known that the farmers are
more numerous and have more power than
all the rest of the country besides.
propose with your permission to offer
few reasons for the present condition Of
the farmers, and what, in my opinion, are
the only remedies. ln the first place and
at the bottom of the trouble, is the fact
that the farmers, like other people, have
permitted their regard for the individual
rights of the citizen to be swallowed up by
their desire TO gain some individual ad.
vantage for themselves. They have ceas.
ed to remember that neither the rights
nor interests Of any can be secure in any
country in which an act Of injustice to
the humblest citizen fails to be resented
as any injury to the whole They have
forgotten, if they ever knew, that all that
any government can do for them as farm.
ers is to protect them in person and pro.
perty, and leaves them to take Gaze of
their own interests that when it does
moro than this it must be at somebody S
expense. Can any farmer tell me what
Congress, or his State Legislature can DO
more than this to promote Lis interest
without doing injustice to somebody else ?
If any farmer knows Of any such thing |
would be glad to here from him.
am farmer, possessing, in my own
opioon at least, average intelligence
know of many things Of which Congress
and my State government rob me- in com.
mon with all other farmers, but apart
from relieving me from this robbery, |
cannot conceive Of a single act that either
government can do which would benefit
me as farmer. We are thus robbed
because farmers have stood quietly by
and witnessed, or perhaps aided in, what
they deemed the robberies of others
either because they thought it did moi
affect them, or because they thought they
were gaining some personal advantage
from it. Let farmers reflect that in al
agricultural country, no matter who arc
the robbers or who are the immediat,
sufferers, all robberies fall more heavily
upon the farmers than upon all others.
propose to continue this subject an
other time. Having passed the tire,
score years and ten allotted to man,
have no Political aspirations | am de
voted to farming, and write for the bepcG
of farmers. If what write shall do NJ
good, it will hurt none. FARMER.

A BANNER. R.-Some ladies in Texas were
desirous of doing honor to the editor of
local journal. So they presented their hero
with an embroidered shirt, which contained
splendid history Of Texas, and also pictures
of the fruits and cereals of the State, all
done in red worsted Now this particular
editor never wore a shirt, and supposed the
brilliant specimen before him to be a banner
for an approaching temperance procession.
In his speech of thanks he puzzled the lady
donors by declaring that he would fling it
forever to the breeze of heaven, that they
might kiss its folds, and till bis hands palsed
it should never be trailed in the dust Tho
ladies blushed at having made it too long.
Being Informed of the purpose Of the gift,
the editor wore it over his coat, to the great
edifcation of the boys of the town, who
followed him in regiments, studying the his
tory of the fine arts and Of Texas behind
his back.

The SPIRITUAL TRAINING. IF children
were generally taught that they are really
endowed with spiritual as with material pow
ers, and that only by the exercise of these
powers is it possible for them to preceive
the highest truths and become acquainted
with God, think that multitudes would es-
cape the doubts and perils to which a def
cient training exposes them, and grow up
with an habitual and soul-satisfying sense
Of Gods presence and help. Our methods
of religious education are too external. We
address the sense and the intellect, but al
low our children to grow up with only dim
consciousness that they are spiritual beings.
Surely there must be a way of making
them understand how to use the highest
powers with which God has endowed them;
a way of teaching them that their spiritual
faculties are as real as their eyes and ears,
their hands and feet, way of training those
faculties so as to make God visible to their
souls, even as his works are visible to their
senses. IF Christians generally were thus
trained in childhood and youth, they would
learn to commend religion by their spirit ual-
ity and the force of consecrated life, rather
than by doubtful disputatons, and an undue
exaltation of creeds and forms Our theo-
logical systems are born of the intellect
rather than Of the spirit and therefore fail to
lead the soul to god. d.77Christtan Union.

think it great sin if your neighbor has a
side door open on the Sabbath, for you to
walk across the lawn and sit on his porch
and talk of seemly things. think the
Lord likes that, if your household is more
radiant and your children wake up and say
las never dd), thank God it is Sunday
don't think if you make it the best day Of
the week and your children are good-natured
and joyful, that they are any the worse. !

too much. think we over reach and over
tax our Sabbath schools. think we make
the Lords day laborious. | do not think
we use Sunday enough to make the family
finer, sweeter, more homogeneous, more soci-
al, and so more religious. see many men
who come to church stern and stiff They
would not for the world ride in street car

of keeping the Sabbath as model Sunday
is day Of household love- 1t is day
the children ought to feel that their father
and mother never looked so handsome before

don't thay two thouthand pigths, but two

In Butler county a young man was court
ing tanners daughter. There's nothing
very remarkable about that-but wait till
you read the whole story. Well, one morn
ing as this young man was starting home
yes, it was in the mornin,, although it
was not light-as this young man started
home from that farmers residence he made
the startling discovery that the barn owned
by said farmer, was on fire. by great eX-
erlions the young man eXtinguished the
flames with little loss. But long before the
time mentioned this stern parent had told
his daughter that she must not sit later than
ten o'clock, but after that event above re-
lated, one would suppose that the old man
would relent and give our hero permission
to sit up with his daughter till broad day
light every night in the week for the pro-
lection Of bis property from fire. But he
didn't. That ancient Granger treated his
daughters lover with as little consideration
as if he were middleman He accused
the young man of firing the barn himself,
and warned him if ever he came iooling
around Jane Ann any more, he would watt
him off the premises with a No. 10 cowhidc
boot Thus mans inhumanity to man
max es countless thousands mourn.

Madonna, angel face, ..
Until pure hallowed vision
My heart is filled with grace.
Your presence seems to waken;
To strengthen in my soul,
Resolves for purel manhood
Faith in brighter goal
Nay, frown not, fairest lady,
To me you are divine;
No soul-polluting passion e

Most matchless, purest lily,
What man could be so vile,
To seek your stainless beauty
With foul intent to soil?
Then let me stay and worship
Gaze deep into your eyes.
They tell me, yes assure me,
OF realms beyond the skies,
Where souls, when freed from bondage,
Unite in closer ties;
Thither my thoughts are drifting,
