The Sugar Beet.

The following hints regarding the sugar
beet are from the Sugar Beet: Recent ex-
perimentS upon beet seed show that the ger
minating qualities depend upon the changes
their oily substances have undergone
through the oxygen of the air. III seeds
have absorbed too much moisture, or if they
have been gathered too soon, they are not
easily preserved. a good seed in one local
ity is not necessarily good in another, hence
the importance of producing the seed in
those districts where it is to be sown. The
larger the seed, within reasonable limits, the
better the quality. Many recommend
heavy seed; the lighter ones should.
for the terminating qualities of beet seed
has been suggested. 1t consists in SUBJ
uniting the seed to heat-lf il burns without
noise or disturbance it may be considered
OF poor quality. Sugar beets in the colder
climates, go to seed only after the second
year; as the flower forms so does the sugar
diminish; in warmer climates beets fire.
quently go to seed the first year. Hence the
1mpossIbility OF probably growing these
roots in the Southern States for other pur-
poses than stock food When selecting
mother roots for seeding purposes give
preference to those having leaves of moder-
ate size. Excellent results are said to have
been obtained by combing a small quantity
OF trlbasic phosphate of lime with beet pulp
twenty-five grains per diem. In those coun-
tries where care is bestowed in raising beets
the agricultural interest is on the increase
Did you ever hear Of a farmer planting ten
acres of beets yearly upon ten different plots
OF land for ten consecutive years and declar-
ing there is no money in beets? We never
have Why not? Because those trying this
have then realized that the soil has been i'm
proved by deeper ploughing, their cattle
have been in good health when fed on the
roots, and the resulting manure has been
plentiful and rich
Rearing Young Calves by Hand
The demand for milk being great at all
seasons, the necessity often arises for wean-
ing calves when only few days old. The
practice is wrong, but we must make the
best of it and endeavor to feed the calves in
such manner as to keep them in health. A
good substitute for milk is bean soup, made
thin enough to drink, to which has been
added corn meal and a small proportion of
salt Ifit is possible TO add milk to the bean
soup it will be much better for the calf.
Occasionally tf diet should be changed by
making strong infusion or decoction of
clover or other hay, which is prepared by
running the clover through cutter and
sleeping it in water for a few hours This
decoctlOn should be sailed little, and have
added to it fine bran or shipstuff 1t is es-
sential in feeding young calves to change the
food as much as possible, and always see
that 1t is Of a nourishing quality. Beans are
the best substitute for milk, but milk is bet
ter than anything else. One thing should
not be overlooked. however, which is that
there is but little to gain from a calf when
Improperly cared for in its earlier days

Sabbath and Synod.
Hebrew lie

There is a great deal OF talk among our jew
ish exchanges about the advlsability OF having
Jewish Synod. Nobody seems to know exactly
how 1t is to be called or who are to compose Its
membership, but 1t seems TO be the general
impression that this new body Will have power
to settle eyerything-to fix, establish and de-
cree. The american isTdeiite suggests that tho
synod shall "announce authoritatively" what
Judaism expects of Its vOtaries to do or to be-
lieve in order to be a member of jewish con-
gregaiion," and another contemporary thinks
II ought to decide tho Fundamental principles
OF Judaism" But some old.fashioned people
think these things Were settled long ago by
Moses and the prophets, and that they only
mean to be enforced by the preachers and
heads OF congregations-or rather DO observed
by them who are perfectly aware OF what they
need. Besides, whom an attempt is made by q
synod to "authorltatively announce" any
thing, the question arises as TO how 1t proposes
TO carry out Its DEGREES, and tho whole question
comes down to tho practical point of how
much judaism VIII DO benefited thereby--a
question most difficult to decide.
In truth, there are many things to BIO done
that call for no Intervention of synod. First
and foremost comes the observance OF the Sab.
bath. We have before this called attention to
tho lax observance of the Sabbath by tho rich
men OF the uptown districts, in contrast with
the general observance by tho poorer corelig-
ioniets on tho cast side. Why Is there this
difference? Is not Sabbath observance one of
tho fundamental principles of the devout

shipors, and which should hear from lips and
heart the old song that was devotedly chanted
by the multitude who assembled to tho temple
nj Jerusalem, ~ was glad when they said unto

DEBTS OF ARMY OFFICERS
Must be Sued For and Recovered ~
other Debts Are.

Secretary Lincoln some timo since referred
to Judge.Advocato General Swain for an opln-
Ion the question, ''Whether or not tho charge
OF conduct unbecoming an ofIlcor and gen.
tlemnn, under tho 61st Article OF War is proper
10 BIO brought against officers OF tho Army who
neglect to pay Just debts Incurred by them,
and by their manner Of life and current ex-
pendlture fall TO exercise such proper econ.
omy as might enable them In time 10 savo
from their salaries amounts SUFFICIENT to sat
isfy their creditors, in whole or In part" has
written n lengthy reply.
General Swain says he has searched In vain
for o precedent among English works on mill
thry law showing the trial OF an onlcer upon
facts similar TO those embraced In tho question
an ofIlcer be brought to trial In a matter OF
Indebtedness unless tho samo was incurred
through cheating, false pretences, &c.,. in
which case by some statute OF tho United
States, or OF the State, Territory or district
whero the Indebtedness was contracted, or by
the common law, as 1t exists In such places,
tho same would subject the officer to criminal
liability. 1t lies with Congress to give lien
on the pay of an oillcer in such cases,
sumsd by tho 'hG War po PSi why
should tho ordinary legal remedies existing
between debtor and creditor be extended
render him crlmnally liable before q court
martial upon default OF payment when thoy
do not operate in tho same manner In favor OF
the officer II he were the creditor DO not tho
ordinary courts OF the land afford the same
remedies against an officer of tho Army as they
do against other debtors, except that tho
solary Of the officer cannot DO reached by tho
process OF the court. But tho creditor IA
aware OF this, and therefore II he extends
large credits to an ofllcer without resources OF
payment than his salary-whlch, In contem-
plation OF law Is only sufficient for his support
and maintenancc-it is his folly to do 30 (and
he ought TO abide the ofllcer's convenience TO
pay. Certainly II would DO an unnatural
straining of tho criminal jurisdiction OF n
courtmartial to require II TO Interfere In such
cases and 1t ought not to be done"
In conclusion the report say: 81 conclude,
then, that failure to satisfy an Indebtedness
fairly contracted would not be violation OF
the Sixty-ilrst Article OF War, although tho
officer may be prodigal OF his means, and TO
tho particular inquiry which you mako
fairly contractcd-l would answer In tho mega

The Lnte Electric storm.

An article published In Sunday paper yes.
terday in regard 10 the successful working of
q wire between New York and Washington
during the prevalence OF the aurora borealis
has been the subject OF comment among men
who are supposed to be up in electrical lore.
CRITIC reporter, who had started out to oh.
tain the facts, ran into Mr.. II. l.. De Akers, an
old telegraph newspaper man, and immedi-
ately proceeded to put him through course
OF interviewing. The reporter opened up by
asking MIR. De Akers II he had read the article
referred to, TO which the latter replied that
he had.
"what do you know about it," asked the re
porter.
''well," was the reply, 'the facts as set
forth nre substantially correct. The wire re-
ferred TO is the one leased by Bateman & Co.,
the bankers. 1t runs between New York and
Washington, and is used for the transaction OF

"To what do you ascribe the fact OF tho sue.

Special license Agent Ran procured a war
rant to-day against Colonel Snellbaker, the
owner of the Theatre Comique, for conducting
q variety show without license.
Colonel Snellbaker is required to have n bar
room license and n theatre license, and this
will be In addition TO those.
Messrs. Miller, Padget, and Forrest at a con-
sultation last week decided that the Comique
is liable for variety show license under the
following clause OF the license laws;
"The pr0prietors of variety theatres shall
pay Ave hundred dollars annually. Every
hall or building used for burlesque, dramatic,
or operate representations, or other funny
plays or performances shall be known as q
variety theatre and shall include also places
where liquors are sold, dispensed, or given to

His attack on the Grand Jury is likely to prove

that "the Grand Jury is composed of men who
