The vito of John Lutz, Manor
street, has made against him
of desertion and surety of the
peace. This morning Officer Swenk
armed with a warrant called at Lutz's
house to arrest him. He found Lutz seated
at the breakfast table, surrounded by seven
children, ranging in age from in
fancy up to dozen years or
more. Mrs. Lutz was not about, she
having left the house for fear of violence
at the hands of her husband. Lutz re-
quested the officer to grant him time to
clear away the breakfast and wash up the
dishes, and the officer, deeming this under
the circumstances reasonable request,
consented to do so. Lutz went to work
industriously, but, watching an opportu-
nifty, gave the officer the slip, ran like a
quarter horse and escaped. He is said to
be "good enough man when sober, but
very violent and jealous when under the
influence of liquor.

sugar Raising In the Northern state

sugar Raising In the Northern States.
The importance of sugar raising in the
Northern States is so great that the attempts
making in various directions will continue to
be watched with much interest. The success
in Maine last year was sufficient to warrant
an increased activity in the business this sea-
son, and in Massachusetts the farmers Of Nor
folk and Plymouth counties are urged to cul-
tiyate sugar beets, to supply the experimental
factory at Franklin. A paying price is offer
ed for the beets, on condition that the far
mers will buy back portion Of the pulp for
fodder. As the latter keeps well through the
winter, aud.is excellent food for cattle, the
drain from the farms is less than caused by
any other product.
The interest manifested in Minnesota and
the northwest in the culture of amber cane
and the production Of sugar from it is begin
ming to bear good fruit, and the same expert
ment seems to be worth trying in New Eng
land The production of sugar from the cane
juice, has been perfected after "a long series
of experiments and the method Of cultivation.
and the details regarding the proper treat
meut. seem now to be well understood The
refinery at Faribault, MINI, is now turning
out as fine sugars as are produced in the
country. They are brilliant, fne-havored
and pure, and can apparently be produced at
a rate and price which will hasten the extinc-
ton Of glucose adulteration. This refinery
has not been able to supply the demand for
its productions, and the farmers are urged to
increase their acreage Of amber cane this sea-
son, and the company will take all the crude
syrup they produce. This refinery at Fari-
bault is the pioneer in the industry, and its
success cannot fail to induce increased atteu-
ton to the production of sugar in all parts of
the North, for apparently the conditions oil
climate and soil in Minnesota differ but lit
tie from those Of New England and other
northern States.

different teMperameuts and dispositions as in

fact into consideration in the management Of
their horses particularly il that part Of it re-

while much OF the food they consume will

termed a good feeder one who does not
mince or pick over his food but then We are
not at all partial to the ravenous one. Such a
horse as the latter named will dive into his
feed with mouth wide open, and invariably
take more at Il mouthful than he can either
hold il his mouth or properly masticate.
There are several ways TO fix such fellows,
one way being to mix some little fine hay
