The Sugar Beet and its Products.

1t Is not generally known that very
vigorous efforts are In progress TO introduce
sugar-making from the beet. The State OF
Delaware has a commission organized to
award premiums to farmers for raising
crops of the sugar-beet, seven premiums
aggregating $400 being awarded for crops
of 16 tons Of roots per acre and over. and
seven smaller premiums for crops of TO
IS tons per acre, The Delaware Beet
Sugar Company has large factory 58 by
142 feet, intended to work up the crop of
the present yea-, and has contracted for the
produce of 400 acres, In addition to ia
acres grown by the company. During last
year eleven farms attempted the cultivation,
and the official report OF the quantities
grown shows that the product ranged from
n tons to 28 tons to the acre, five Of them
exceeding 16 tons, and that the, calculated
product Of sugar per acre ranged from l,407
pounds. the lowest, 10 4,488, pounds, the
highest. Seven of the farms exeeeked 2, 400
pounds of sugar per acre. The percentage
Of augar was also high, ln al but three
cases exceeding 10 per cent. The percent
age of sugar increases If tho gathering Of
the roots is delayed; those pulled In Au-

Cured by Basty Pudding.

Doctor Radcliffe cared but little for books
and yet he left 100000 to found the
library at Oxford University, winch bears
his name. A friend, visiting him, asked
where his study was. Pointing to few
vials and skeleton, he replied, "This is
Radcliffe's library"
Though one Of the most successful ply
slcians Of lis day, he seemed to ignore
physic. He once remarked, that when he
began practice he had twenty remedies for
every disease, but before many years he
found twenty diseases for which hc had
but one remedy.
His reputation was due to the same
qualities which command success in all.de-
partments Of life-namely, quick penetra-
tion, good sense, decision and fertility of
expcdients.
He was called to gentleman i'll of the
quincy. Seeing that neither an internal
nor an external application would be of
any service, he ordered a hasty pudding
to be made. When it was doue, his own
servants having been instructed as to their
behavior, brought it to the patients room.
''Come Jack and Dick" said the Doctor
as the pudding was placed on the table,
"eat as quickly as possible. You've had
no breakfast this morning."
Both began, but on Dicks dip.
