The cost of production being fre cents per
pound for refined sugar.
Judging from our long experience in the
manufacture of beet-root sugar in Califor-
mia, we are confident that results fully
equally to those set forth in this statement
would be realized in very few years. pro-
viding Congress should extend to this in
dustry the same aid and encouragement
that it has to other enterprises promising
no better results. If Congress would but
give 1.-THE of the aid and encouragement
to this industry that European Govern
ments gave to il in those countries where it
has attained its greatest success, in very
few years all doubts would be at an end as
to the ability of the United States to pro
duce sufficient sugar for domestic use.

THE NATURAL ADVANTAGES
California has over other beet-sugar pro-
ducing countries, and what is true of Cali
fornia will doubtless apply to other States
of the Union.
Beets raised in California are as rich in
saccharine, and the yield per acre is fully
as large, as in Europe.
We have longer season in which to
plant and harvest our crop.
The crop, after it is harvested, needs no
protection from frost
The climate permits us TO work beets
fresh from the fields for period of four
months, thus saving the expense of storing
and rehandling.
In Europe their crops must all be har-

Great E,ta.es Kent For shootIns.

Scotch hunting is gentleman's occupation.
The poor dare not shoot the game which
runs all about them, and the rabbits are as
tame as kittens. Great estates are kept here
for nothing else but shooting. They are not
farmed and are often Of thousands OF acres.
Sometimes these estates are let by the year or
season TO gentlemen who wish to shoot, AMI
1t has been estimated that the average cost of
hunting deer in this way was 500 per stag

region of Trossachs are full Of them. They
are found upon the moors and hunted with
dogs.
These Scottish moors had always supposed
TO b. something like the American swamp or
marsh. i was surprised TO find that they are
mountainous lands covered with grass and
the low bushes known as heather These
bushes look like little sprigs Of pine set into
the ground and they have little blue blossoms
ON them. They make the landscape OF the

olive brown There Is a velvety tint 10 the
grass here, which we don't get in America,
and the great moisture OF the air keeps the
grass green here the year round.--Frank q.

the oath of March, 1856, and found the

Wheat at present looks well and the
farmers are expecting a good crop. Corn
that was planted early is coming up and
looks as though there would be good
stand Most of the farmers are half done
planting and some few who have but
little to plant are done. Heavy rains
that fell recently are keeping the farmers
from work at present. Grass is growing
rank. making good pasture, and it looks
as if there would be a good crop of hay.
The greatest drawback to this country IS
mud, which, at times, makes the roads
almost impossible and keeps the people
from work in fields. But tiling is being
largely resorted to, which is improving
the country for agricultural pursuits to a
great extent
