Profit in Growing Beets.

The experiment of making beet sugar
in England is being tried with every
promise of success. During the past
year an area of about GAO acres in the
vicinity of the sugar factory was planted,
this acreage being distributed among
some sixty farmers. Notwithstanding
an exceedingly i'm propitious season, by
which it was calculated that the crop
was only about half of what it should
have been the product averaged over
ten tons to the acre, in some cases run
ming as high as twenty tons, and in
others to five tons or less. The per
centage of sugar was about thirteen, or
product Of q ton and half of sugar
to the acre. The price paid the farm er
was twenty shillings (ifty doIlars) per
ton for the beets, delivered at the fac
tory. This, at the rate of ten to twenty
tons to the acre, would seem to be a
very fair return. To secure the best re
suits the most careful cultivation and
care are required at all stages of growth,
but with favorable season and a full
harvest it would seem hard to find a
better paying crop. When such results
are reached in such climate as that of
England, there seems no good reason
why California should not lead the
world in the production of sugar from
beets. San francisco Chronicle.

THE BUFFALO GNAT.

Suggestions Which Ought to be Needed
in Sections Afflicted With These In
sects.
The Buffalo gnat, which causes such
distress and destruction to cattle,
horses and mules after an overflow, and
which infested the overhowed portions
of Louisiana and Mississippi to worse
degree last spring than ever before
known, has been the subject of observa-
ton and study by Professor Riley, who
suggests the following remedies in his
report to the Commissioner of Agri-
culture:
The good effects of a smudge or thick
smoke in keeping off the gnats has long
been known. This method is used in
the South at the present time and also
in Hungary. In Hungary the inhabit-
ants collect large and longsh heaps of
straw, hay, foliage, etc, both near their
houses and also in the pastures. A
brand is put in the middle and the heap
begins to burn slowly and causes a
;hck smoke which prevents the APP
proach of the gnats. The cattle there
hllNtL oliuI LllC CutCb VI Jllt SlllOhC anu
make their way eagerly to the smoke
heap as soon as they perceive a cloud
of gnats, or when the gnats annoy
them greatly. lay themselves down by
the heap and always on that side of it
to which the smoke will be driven by
the wind or current of air.
The use of oil of tar by the employees
of the Hudson Bay Company against
the ''black fly of the northern woods,
and the fact that long experience has
shown it to be preferable to pennyroyal
or any of the common prophylactcs
suggests a simple and easily applied
wash. which has been several years
recommended by Prof. Riley. A guam
tity of coal tar is placed in the bottom
of a large shallow receptacle of some
sort, and a small quantity of oil of tar
or oil of turpcntine, or any similar ma
terial. is stirred in. The receptacle is
then filled with water, which is left
standing for several days until well i'm
prcgnated with the tar, etc. The ami
mails are then washed with this water
as often as seems to be necessary.
These smudges and washes are simply
preventive in their character; as yet
there appears no process by which the
number of insects can be lessened.
Prof. Riley thinks it not unlikely that
the Southern Buffalo gnat breeds in the
smaller tributary streams of the Missis-
sippi River in the shallowest and swift
est water Such breeding places. once
ascertained, it ought not to be difficult
to kill the insect in its earlier stages, or
on a large scale. by the introduction of
some poisonous substance If, on further
investigation, it should be found, how
ever, that the Larvae live attached to the
stems of the water plants in the Missis-
sippi itself, attempts to prevent the
multiplication of the species will have
to be abandoned as impracticable.-N.

Mrs. A. NJ. Dauphin, of 1899 Ridge Ave,
Philadelphia, is well known to the ladies
of that city from the great good she has
done by means of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. She writes Mrs.
Pinkham of a recent interesting case. "A
young married lady came to me suffering
with severe case of Prolapsus and Ulcer
alton. She commenced taking the Com
pound and in two months was fully restored.
In proof of this she soon found herself in
an interesting condition. Influenced by
foolish friends she attempted to evade the
responsibilities of maternity. After ten or
twelve days she came to me again and she
was indeed in a most alarming state aud
suffered terribly. gave her tablespoon
full of the compound every hour for eight
hours.until she fell asleep, she awoke much
relieved and evidently better. She con-
tinued taking the Compound, and in due
season she became the mother of fine
healthy boy. But for the timely use of the
medicine she believes her life would have
been lost"

In almost all litters of pigs there
will be one or more that are under
sized. If the larger and stronger pigs
are taken from the sow first and well
fed they will not suffer. while the weak
lings, if left with the mother somewhat
longer, will grow rapidly, catch up to
the others, and make the whole lot
more even in size than if all be taken

A correspondent asks: Can apple
trees be moved of five or six years
standing from clay to a sandy soil
without loss of trees, if so, at what time
of year. and how to move them? In re-
ply we would say that apple trees will
do well enough on sandy soil if it has
a clay sub-soiI; and if the trees are not
too large you can remove them in the
spring. Western RUral

TO take up a young forest tree, first
wind a wet sack around the stem close
to the ground, so tightly that it can not
slip; then take a timber stitch with a
small chain cable, cut off few roots on
the side opposite the steady team, and
you will get nearly every root whole
and plenty of soil. l took up 100 rock
naples in this way last spring, after l
had learned to wind the sack properly,
without damage to the trees. In this
way two men with a team will take up
more trees in an hour than they could
without team in half a day. h.
