ers of large crops that are subject to
the ravages of insects, may be justified
in using 1t, but even these should take
special care that the wind or some force
does not carry the poison to berries or
vegetables of which the lcafy portions
are eaten. In home gardens, where
the various vegetables and small fruits
are grown near to each other, it should
not be used at all. Small boys who
pick potato bugs at three cents per

Green, but, on the other hand, they are
cheaper than doctors or respectable

The FORCE or TREE GRowTH-The
disruptlve power Of tree roots. growing
I'm tho creVices Of rocks, Is we'll known.
Masses of stone Weighing many tons
are often dislodged in this way from
the faces Of cliffs, and no one gives
them more than a passing glance.
When, however, the sanctity Of the
tomb is Invaded, despite the craven
warning Of the occupant, the case Is
very different, and superstitious people
are apt to think there must be some-
thing In 1t more than accident and the
unconscious expression of the reststless
force of growing vegetation. There Is
a monument in the Garten churchyard,
in Hanover, Germany, the invasion of
which by birch troe has been the Oo-
casion of much wonderment by count
ry people, who come from great dis
tanCes to examine 1t.
The monument, so unfeelingly dis
rupted,, was erected in 1882, and bears
on It's base the following inscription:
"This grave, which was bought for all
eternity, must nevor be opened" A
chance bird seed, lodging in a crevice
of the monument, has displayed the
irony Of nature Ill slowly yet surely
thwartlng the desire Of the person who
designed 1t for perpetual memorial.
All the joints are separated, the strong
iron clamps are broken, and the birch
tree has embraced the upper large
block, which Weighs about one and a
quarter tons, and the tree is driving its
roots below, gradually but surely tilt

SOIL FOR THE SUGA R-BEET. - For
growing the sugar-beet the subsoil
should be deep, to permit the root to
penetrate deeply. If it be not deep,
the roots will project above the ground,
and all the projecting portion will be
deficient in sugar. There should be no
standing water. The remedy IS drain
age. If too dry, Of course growth is
stunted or impossible. New or So
called "virgin" soils are apt to contain
injurious salts, which prevent either
the formation Of sugar or Its crystal
ization. This was one of the troubles
In Illinois. Still, reports from new
soil in Russia show excellent results.
Sound land Is not desirable. The soil
must be open and deeply cultivated to
permit the beet to grow in the best
shape-slender, and with only one tap
root. Small stones cause forklng, which
Is undesirable. Alluvlal, sandy soils
are excellent, rs being open in texture
and containing the proper nOurish-
ment. Strong clay soils are not suit
able, as apt to be wet and cold, and be-
come choked with fungus growths; a
sandy loan does we'll. The moro hui
mus or mould 1t contains, the better.
Lime may have the effect OF preventing
the formation OF glucose in the root.
Soil with, say, 20 per cent. of clay, 70
of sand, and 5 of carbonate Of lime,
give good results, as being penetrabIe
to air and water; 80 per cent. Of clay,
45 or sand, and % Of carbonate of lime,
Is also we'll liked. Clay soil generally
gives a large yield Of water beets, while
limy soil gives smaller crops and better
beetS.
