CULTURE OF SUGAR-BEETs.- There is
no market for sugar-beets except for
the manufacture Of sugar. For this
purpose the sugar factories pay five dol
lars per ton. But they are very yalua-
bic for feed. and it will pay la cultivate
them for this use until a supply could
DE grown fora factory. The manufact-
ure is now established in this country.
and nothing more is needed than a GER
tain supply Of the roots. The culture
of this crop is not difficult; good soil
and clean cultivation only are required

IA good one, twenty o II per acre.

o effective remedy; but after the dis

HANDLING AND EDUCATING HORSES.
Horses can be educated to the extent
of their understanding rs well as child
rem, and can be easily ruined or dam
aged by bad management. The greater
part of the bad and vicious horses have
been made 81 from bad or injudicious
treatment. Horses of high mettle are
more easily educated than those of dull
spirits. If ali colts could be handled
until thoroughly broken by skillful
and careful managers. there would be
few vicious horses. The colt should be
kindly and carefully handled and never
allowed To get an advantage, and then
il will never know that it possesses a
power that man cannot control. Colts
should be made familiar with strange
objects and become accustomed to be-
ing hit on the heels, back and hips; in
fact made used to all that is liable to
happen; then. in ease of accident. they
will not be nervous or frightened. Not
more than one in q thousand of those
who handle and pretend to break colts
should be allowed TO do SO.
