Sugar Beet Culture.

Mr.. Burnett Landreth has the following re-
marks on this subject in Philadelphia pa
per, which are perfectly true, but do not in
clude the fact that for some reason or other
no attempt to establish the manufacture of
beet sugar in this country-and several have
been made with every apparent requisite in
imported machinery and eXperience-has
hitherto met with such success as to afford
any indacement whatever for the repetition
of the experiment.
The production of beet sugar in 1875 was
1,3l7,623 tons-a quantity equal to sixty-one
per cent. of the cane sugar manufactured in
the world. The internal revenue tax upon
European beet sugar amounted in 1915 to
forty millions of dollars. The average pro-
duction of beet roots is twelve tons per acre,
yielding fraction over one ton of sugar. In
Germany the average proportion extracted is
81 per cent. The resduum from the press is
two and half tons from every twelve tons of
roots used, and is valued at about five dollars
ton.
Experiments made in this country have es-
tablshed the fact that as many bushels per
acre can be raised here as in Europe, and
there can be no doubt the saccharine percent
age can be made as great, while the freedom
FROM internal revenue (which is collected in
all the States of Europe where beet sugar Is
made) would be in itself profit, fifty-three
dollars an acre revenue in some cases being
paid. The fattening of cattle upon the cake
or cellular residuum from the processes is ex-
ceeding profitable and stimulates the produc-
ton of hay and grain, these being necessary
adjuncts. The manure, carefully saved under
a system of stall-feeding, is returned to the
lands from whence the roots were taken, and
With judicious application of commercial ma
nures the fertility of the soil is annually en-
HANGED.
FatteniDg stock, it will be thus seen, be-
comes prominent feature in all districts
where the beet-sugar industry is pursued, and
with the new markets opened abroad to the
almost limitless import of American beef and
mutton, this feature is to us of immense i'm
portance.
The processes of culture require improved
agricultural implements, with these comes
closer observation of rural affairs, and thus
the farmer is educated to habits of investiga-
ton as well in agricultural chemistry as in the
study of vegetable life.
Thus it may readily be perceived that the
sugar beet industry is profitable to all con-
cerned-all classes participate in the prosper
ity 1t creates and diffuses. No agricultural
pursuit is so beneficial to the community
where it is carried on-the producer and man
ufacturer dealing directly with each other.-

Kerosene for Squash Bugs.

A correspondent of the New England Far
mer says in relation to using kerosene oil to
exterminate squash bugs: 1.-TWO years ago I
had a fine lot of Hubbard squash vines in my
garden, and was anticipating handsome
yield, when, suddenly, observed here and
there patches in which the leaves began to
turn yellow and then brown, and on exami-
nation found them covered with this most
annoying pest. I Immediately begun trying
plaster, then ashes, then gas lime, but to no
purpose. They were too numerous and the
vines too luxuriant to attempt their destruc-
ton by hand. was about giving up the bat
tie when it occurred to me that would try
what virtue there was in kerosene, took a
pan of ashes (holding perhaps quarts) and
Selling the lamp-filler, poured on enough of
that fluid to moisten the ashes and fill them
with strong perfume, but not to convert in
10 a paste. 1 threw several handfuls into
each spot where the enemy was at work. OF
course 1 watched the result curiously and
anxiously. After day or two 1 observed
that there was no increase of the leprous
blotches in the squash bed. made careful
inspection and found that the miscreants had
retreated. After that 1 kept up the treat
ment whenever I saw indications of new at
tack. But had no occasion for severe exer-
else on this account"

News and Notes.


The season is one of the most wonderful
on record in Aroostook. Four weeks ago
were first seen dandelion blossoms. Straw
berry blossoms were first seen three
weeks ago last Sunday, when grass had just
started, except in favored places, where it
was large enough to cover the ground with
green, and the trees had hardly full leaf
Now, grass in many places is more than two
feet high, some lodged already. Grain COM
pletely covers the ground. Beans and pota-
toes are up six inches or more high, and the
whole country is vast ocean OF yerdure
and heritage. Corn is large this Goth day of
June, than we have seen it IN Frankli in
County the 4th of July, and come to
maturity. We look for wonderful harvest.

Parsnips are now proposed as an article of

The Union States occupies the third place
in the list of hop-growing countries, Ger
many taking the lead and England ranking
second.
Mr.. Albion K. P. Burgess of Wayne has a
field ofrye that has an extraordinary growth,
averaging six feet in height; the tallest stalks
measuring seven feet and one inch in length.

Der 18th to Goth, in connection with the
Maine Dairyman's Association.
The wheat crop of Northern Texas, it is

The money realized will probably be one hun
dred per cent larger.
The experience of English farmers devel-
opes the fact that mangold and Swedes tur-
nips cultivated in the same field yield better
crops than when sown in separate plots.
The Maine Farmer figures out that the
farmers of our State have planted 1896 acres
more than usual, that the extra corn crop
thus secured, may be valued at $166,366, and
the extra potatoes at $671 200.
Probably the most extensive farming opera
tions of any one person in Oxford county are
by Mr.. Ward of New York, who has sum-
mer residence in Canton, and pursues farm
ing as pleasure. He has over one thousand
acres of land, much of which is beautiful in
tervale along the valley of tie Androscoggin.
One of his fields contain seventy-fve acres of
tall waving grass all ready for the mower
Mr.. Ward is great fancier of fine blooded
stock, of which he has large supply of great
value.
Reports from fiftyseve towns in Western
Massachusetts indicate a bountiful harvest of
excellent quality. The grass crop will be
fully an average one. In many towns corn
will be the great crop of the year, more hay
ing been planted than before for years. The
prospect for the potato crop is good. The
farmers have made an onslaught on the Colo.
RADIO beetles by means of hand picking and
Paris green, and have thus far saved their
potatoes from depredations. The tug of war,
however, with the insect. is yet to come, for
the eggs are Matching in immense numbers.
The apple crop will not be large, but other
fruits will be abundant.

Thoroughbred VS.. Common Sheen.

A farmer in this country, who is supposed
to own as good common sheep as anybody
in this locality, sheared his flock on the 23d,
and after weighing the feeces, found that
each sheep averaged two and a half pounds.
Take the whole number of sheep in this
state, and they probably will not average
more than the above. Say that wool is
worth twenty cents per pound. the profits
from each sheep will be fifty. Take now an
estimate of fleeces of the thoroughbred
Merino and Cotswold, which will not
average less than eight pounds per head-the
net profits on each sheep, SLIGO or $1.1O in
favor Of the thoroughbred over the common
stock. 1t is not, however, altogether fair to
estimate the fleeces of the two breeds at the
same price. as it is well known fact that the
wool of the thoroughbred will command a
higher marketable value. Now it costs the
same to raise the thoroughbred as the COM
mon sheep; the mutton of one is as good as
ther other; the profits of the wool of the
thoroughbred is three times greater than
from the common. Every farmer owning a
flock of sheep should make it convenient 10
purchase thoroughbred ram to improve the
quality and yield of his wool; such an in
yestment will pay.-Liue Stock Journal.
