Unless parents know from experience
the value of Tips ia protecting their chill
dren's shoes from wear at the toe, they
will be greatly helped in deciding what
kinds to purchase by examining their chill

the shoe may be but little worn. The Sill

We clip the following from the Bangor
Wig: We were shown yesterday by
4 W. u. Lewis. Esq. some very handsome
+! specimens of silver ore from the Sullivan
Silver Mines which Mr.. l.. has Just been
visiting. We learn from him that the vein
has been entered TO depth of seventy-two
feet, and that the richness of the deposit
increases as the depth increases. The
mine has been examined by a large num-
H. r -,
gineers. all of whom unite in pronouncing
1t OF remarkable richness. Mr.. Lewis
showed US some specimens OF pure silver
as assayed from lot OF GA pounds sent to
New York, and from which four pounds of
pure silver and little over four dollars in
gold was returned, or at the rate of Sl60
to the ton. Eight men are now employ ed
at the mines, and a new hosting engine is
about to be added.

SUGAR BEETs.-Our Pressure Isle cor
respondent writes as follows:
1.-The crop of beets for the sugar factory is
now being gathered. Much dissatisfaction il
manifested among the farmers with the remu-
0 neraton they bring. Three dollars per ton is
0 not third part what they ought TO return, in
, order 10 make the land pay anything. An acre
o VIII produce only about three tons, and the
cost OF raising them is much greater than hat
5 OF cultiysting potatoes or other crops. 1t
0 looks certainly like q fsilure.''
n The Beet Sugar Manufacturing Company
S estimate on an average of twenty tons to
o the acre. and the Somerset Reporter speaks
of cases where farmers in that section have
o raised twenty-eight tons to the acre. Our
farmers who have raised sugar beets this
g year. and have not already gathered their
o crop. can add to the general information il
they will report to US the result as attained
Q by themselves. 1t can be done as follows
o Measure. of the piece on which the beets
n are raised. one square rod; multiply the
o weight Of one busbel of the beets by the
q number of bushels raised on the rod meas.
70 ured; multiply this sum by l60. the n0m-
% Der of square rods in one acre. and reduce
y this to tons Also add items relative to
% kind of soil fertilizer used. &C. In thi:
s way. we can arrive at practical results in
3 this section, and farmers can better deter
> mine whether the industry is sufficiently
% remunerative to warrant its adoption.
