Benefits of Transplanting Beets.

Transplanting beets may be done with
perfect success. The cause Of so many fail.
ures is by taking the plant when small,
like a cabbage or turnip plant. Beets
should never be transplanted until the roots
are formed and are at least fourth OF an
inch in diameter. have transplanted them
when three inches Ia diameter with good
success. From one-half to one inch is the
most suitable size l would take the III ost
favorable time after the plants reach one
fourth at an inch in diameter. Last year l
took plants from the same sizes, aud trans
planted plots of land as follows: June 8,
plants 1-inch in diameter, yield per acre, 4O1
tons June IA, 1-inch in diameter, yield per
acre, 4Ok tons; June 10, s-inch in diameter,
yield per acre, 40 tons June %, l-inch in
diameter, yield per acre, 373 tons. There
were two reasons why the crop on the last
plot was not as good as the three first. The
last was the most unfavorable time to trans
plant as there was less moisture in the
ground, and the plants were thick in the bed
and had started spindliug growth, much to
their injury. When plants are thick in the
seed-bed the sooner they are removed after
reaching n suitable size the better, all other
conditions being favorable. Plants are
checked in their growth few days by trans.
planting, therefore to insure success they
should be started as soon rs possible. The
chances are four to one that there will be a
more favorable time to transplant with early
plants than with late ones.
l would not recommend transplanting
beets as general practice 10 their culture
but would do it to gil vacancies that may
occur by defective seed, unfavorable time fol
it to terminate, or a destruction Of plants by
insects also on very wcedY land and for seconC
crop after early vegetables. On land fllet
with weeds, by the transplanting system the
harrow does all the early work Of hoeiug and
wedding at a very cheap rate, and the plant
that are set out being finely started sooI
grow vigorously, and before weeds can &c
ahead they will be ready for horse and hand
hoeing the same as corn and potatoes
Plants should be ready to transplant the las
half Of june or early in July.
As the plants are pulled the tap root is
cut off and the leaves shortened to within
one or two inches Of the beet. The leave
will soon die if not taken off, the first growtl
will be indicated by new set of leave,
springing out of the top of the cone of thu
beet. 1t is good point in all cases o
transplanting to preserve the 6brous root
in flexible state; for this reason the great
est care should be taken to keep them moist
AS the plants are pulled and prepared l plac
them in pail Of water. The planting i
done with a sharp stick about q foot il
length. When the plant is set in its place
side thrust with the stick presses the dir
against it. The land should be marked il
rows 30 inches apart; set the plants Il
inches apart in the rows. In transplantnp
beets never bury the collar Of the plant. L
takes IL 900 or 10000 plants for an acre
a good man and boy should set 1000 in, {

The Caughnawaga Canal.

The Importance Of the construction of the
Caughnawaga ship canal is each day becom-
ing more clearly appreciated, aud the proba-
bility Of its accomplishment at an early day
more sure. The president of the y. canal
company has been in Europe looking to the
interests Of the company, and he states that
il One-third of the capital can be raised in
this country work on the canal may be be-
gun at once.
New York sees traffic which might come
to her if water communication with the West
were established going to Philadelphia, Bos-
ton, and Portland, because it can 20 by rail
in one direction as cheaply as in another.
New Workers talk about enlarging the ca
pacity Of the Erie canal, but it is pretty gen.
orally admitted that the enlargement of this
to the capacity Of q ship canal is one Of the
impossibilities, while the connection by the
other route can be made, and made perfect,
at comparatively small expense. Though
this route from the West to New York will
be much longer than that by way Of the
Erie canal, the part Of it which is by canal
is so short, and the facilities so good on the
lakes and rivers, that it is thought the pas
sage can be much more quickly made by this
than by the shorter route.
From the report of the canal commissioner
of New York we quote the following, which
shows the feasibility Of the route
With regard to the topography OF the
country, no one who has examined the sub
ject can fail to be impressed with the con.
viction that nature has provided this route
through the great chain of lakes, tho St
Lawrence, Lake Champlain and the Hudson
river-the only break in the continuity Of
the line being from Wood creek, the inlet Of
Lake Champlain, to the Hudson at the point
where it can DO made navigable, at Fort Ed
ward, an actual distance Of IL miles Gnclud-
ing Wood creek which is 10 to Is feet in
depth,) "a miles on the route rs surveyed
The Hudson river here is l24 feet above It'd,
water only, and Lake Champlain SO, diff
ference of only % feet. Though, as the Gu
nal can be constructed more cheaply by
maintaining the summit level ut 1876 feet, the
engineers have adopted that line, and this
would make the distance between the levels
80 feet. The slight difference in level be.
tween the water so connected and the OK
istence of this valley, which is really breal
IN one Of the great mountain ranges of tho
country, seems to be provision OF benei-
cent nature for this very purpose.
Inasmuch as the opening Of this line is o
the greatest Importance to Vermont, as i
will give her water communication with th
world, as well as give her much cheaper
rates of transportation for the -four, grain
pork, aud other products of the Western
prairies which she buys, it must certainly b,
regarded as fortunate that uncomfortable cir.
cumstances compel the capitalists of tn,
American metropolis to not only look will
favor on the project but feel lively intercs
in 1t and give it a hearty support.

Fraud in High Places.

Notwithstanding the centennial celebration
and speeches, in which 1--WE Yankees" have
glowingly painted our virtues, our liberty,
and all the desirable and glorious features
of our noble country, land none can feel
prouder than we Of the good name and SUBJ
stantial benefits Of our country we are con-
strained to confess that a glance at the
rottenness and corruption in tho adminstra-
ton of public offices throughout our land is
enough to make one sick at heart, were it
not for his hope Of improvement. The sub
iect is one that has been harped upon until
many feel to turn from it in disgust, but,
as the only redress lies with the people, and
as they have the matter entirely under their
control if they would but allow their eyes to
be opened, we believe in talking about it,
until those who have the power (the major
ity) shall be compelled to open their eyes
and act. This they have begun, but only
begun, to do. The surprising independence
and insurbordination manifested toward
parties by the voters in the recent elections is
one evidence of this awakening of the pop
ular mind to the extravaganza in the ad
ministration of public matters, which
amounts to nothing more nor less than rob
bing the many and putting the proceeds
into the pockets Of the few.
Why is it that it has become fixed fac
that any man who has government con
tract of any considerable size "has his nest
feathered? ?" Why is it that men will rusl
for almost any elective office, and expenC
more money in the campaign than the entir,
salary they will get after they are elected
Why is 1t that the presidents salary il
doubled, when it was already so great thai
money would flow as freely as water in tn,
struggle to obtain it? 1t is because ever
one knows that government contracts arr
expected to be made at such terms as vii
rob the people and make the contractor rich
1t is because the pickings and stealings o
office are SO great and so sure that the nom
inal salary sinks into insigni6cance besid'
them. 1t is not because the president
salary was too small, but because it wa
evident the people would stand that amour
of bleeding. 1t has been said that the larg
necessary expenses of the president made i
necessary that his salary should be raise
to $4,000. Let us look at the figures, an,
see if some of the necessary expenses
we're not provided for outside of the presi
dents pittanco of $4,000. Here are
few of the items of the appropriation voted
