'Thers is not quite so much enthus-
iasm in Aroostook over the beet sug-
ar business as would he justified by
the prospect. Nobody expects that
the manufacture of beet sugar will
transform our farmers into million
aires. Nobody contends that at the
price offered for beets every farmer
can raise them with profit. What is
claimed, however, is that if the beet
sugar manufacture proves successful
it will afford to some Of the farming

BEAMS FOR COWS.

There seems to be strong pre- ju'
dice among many farmers against
feeding beans or bean straw to cows.
They claim that it dries up their
milk. have fed both, and never
noticed any change in the amount of
milk and | have never known any
thing better to regulate a cows milk
than an occasional mess Of beans.
A gentleman this fall had fine COW
that gave gargety and bloody milk
from half the bag. 1t was badly
vaked and he expected to lose the
use of her. 1t continued so fo
some time, and he finally bought All
other COW. Passing through his gar
den, he carelessly pulled some beans
from the poles and threw them into
the cows manger. In y short time
he noticed "A change for the better it
the cows bag. He gave her some
more and in few days she was en-
tirelv cured Several similar cures
have been reported, effected by feed
ing beans. think if the darymer
would practice giving their COWS al
occasional mess of beans, or, what is
better, a little bean meal with their
provender, there would be fewer
of our best cows slaughtered foI
beef, and fewer three teated cows.
Some of the farmers here have fatted
their hogs on boiled beans, or bean
meal, and claim it is cheaper and
better than corn, but it is difficult t.
get some hogs to eat them. | have
bought Gull beans, and am feeding
them to my sheep and cattle, anC

COUNTESS BLAvATsKY, who is now

ct alii, Of the Theosophica Society, has
sent n glove around the the world to Lon
don by special spirit messenger. She
took with her to the East pair of gloves,
and on February 18th Colonel Olcott saw
them in Bonn bay. She informed the Col
oncl that she had been requested by "an
English burrister, President of the Brit.
ish Theosophcal Society, and son Of a
Liberal M. p, whose name is well known
throughout India" to send him one OF
these gloves Immediately upon her arriv-
al, in order to improve his fathers eye

the same day the barrister found teIe-
gram at his chambers in the Temple from

her "spirit" had received message from
Madame Blavatsky in Bombay. Need i
less to say that this message" was the

in Bombay have begged the Countess to

ranks for time are daily coming back
to their old places" Estee had not lott
the ranks. Only those who have endors.

having wavered in his Republican faith.
As 10 those Republicans who have gone
of on a spree with tho Chronicle since
the election, they will be sorry when h y
get sober, and will want to come back;

about it, without being scoldsd.
