there Is dry, unclouded autumn weather.
The Juice is extracted either by rasping the
beet into shreds, and pressing out the juice,
or by the diffusion process. As the beet con-
tains much less sugar in proportion than cane,
it's transportation Ia a serious matter, and in
France and Belgium underground pipes are
in use, through which the juice is sent to
central factory. The process Of extracting
tho sugar from the juice is essentially the
same az in the treatment Of cane, except that
the process of oarbonation, which is coming
into use also with sorghum, is very generally
used. The method proposed by the depart
ment of agriculture and practiced for one sea-
son at Ottawa, Kansas, with success, is a
modification OF the process used for beet
juices, and consists in adding large excess
Of lime to the tepid juice, and afterward pre-
cipitatng the excess by csrbonic acid. After
passing through filter press the clear juice
is saturated with sulphurous acid, and again
filtered. This process gives juice perfectly
limpd and Of great purity. The production
of beet sugar, where bounties are not paid
will probably be limited by the fact that, with
improving scientific processes, the larger pro-
portion OF sugar in cane and sorghum will
give them an increasing advantage to the
planter and consumer. The census Of 1880
reported four beet-root factories, with 1865,
600 capital, employing $50 hands, to whom
it paid $62 27l wages, or $l77 each, and pro-
ducing 1882, 572 product. -Hdrpers Maya

REMEDY FOR APPLE BARK LICE.-Prof. A.
j. Cook says soft soap, or strong solution
Of the same, will surely vanquish the apple
tree bark or scale louise if it is applied in
early June and again three weeks later. To
apply this specific be knows of no better
way than to use a cloth and scrub by hand.
To be sure we can, il dainty, use a brush
like shoe brush, but he likes to go at it
with good cloth, when, with sleeves rolled
up, he makes pretty sure that no louise es-
capes.
For the past few weeks he has chan ged the
substance by adding crude carbolic acid,
which he thinks improves it, especially if
but one application is to be made and we
know that at this busy season the second ap-
pication is apt to be neglected
He heats to the boiling point one quart of
soft-sosp to two gallons Of water, and while
still hot thoroughly stirs in one pint of crude
carbolic acid, This may be applied as be-
fore. This carbolic acid mixture retains it's
virtue, he thinks, longer than does the soap
alone, and so it is especially desirable when
but one application is to be made as described
above.
Like the arsenites, so the oarbolc acid and
soap mixture is Of triple value. Not only
does it kill the dreaded lice, but it also keeps
of the dreaded borers, which are also serious
pests in the orchards. Rural Neto Yorker.

Trout fishing has been for a long time a
sufficiently popular amusement The great
number Of anglers, and the great skill IN the
art of hooking trout to which some of the m
have attained, gives this fish altogether too
small chance for its life. 1t is already ex-
terminated in many Of our streams and is
everywhere becoming scarce. There will be
fishing enough in the trout brooks if the pur-
suit is not encouraged; yet we confess to
pheasant memories" of the kind referred to
by Judge Fitch, who says in the June num-
Der of the American Agriculturst;

deIivable from angling is the store Of pleas
ant memories the angler is laying up for fu.

of his fishing bouts? l would urgently rec
ommend the young angler to begin at once
keeping an account of all his fishing bouts.

which he fshed, the names of the streams
and his companions, the number of fish saved
and the number thrown back with little

The beet-sugar industry has scarcely made
a start in this country, though in Europe it
has attained such proportions as to furnish
half the marketed sugar in the world and
about third of the total production. The
production of beet sugar is a commercial tri-
umph of the man of "mere science" A
Berlin apothecary, Marggrsf first drew at
tention to the beet root as a possible sugar
mine, and Prussian chemist, Achard first
successfully extracted the sugar. 1t was not,
however, until the Napoleonic wars and the
blockade OF Continental ports raised the prices
OF sugar that the industry was started. Ma
poleon in 1911 offered bounties for the pro.
duotion of beet sugar, and made the chemis-
try OF the process a specially in scientific
schools. Germany followed the example,
and even now the industry is fosterad by the
government through experimental stations
aud by means of bounties on sugar protec-
ton.

The rules of horticulture do not always
hold good. For instance, l read not. long
ago, an article on ferns, written by one Of
our best forists in which the writer said that
it was utterly impossible to grow ferns with
out thorough drainage of the pots still la
dy of my acquaintance succeeds admirably
in growing different species of this beautiful
plant in large sea-shells, which have not the
shadow of an aperture for drainage. Again
we are told that it is useless to try to keep
squashes through the winter except in dry,
and moderately warm place. As matter Of
fact, however, l have kept the past winter a
sample of the Hubbard squash in room con-
nected with the greenhouse, in which the at
mosphere has often been SO damp that the
condensed water has run down the walls,
which are now much widowed. This squash
remained sound until after the first of April.

WATER IN FooD. The Medical and Surg-
cal Reporter expresses the opinion that the
unlimited use of pure spring wate- at its nat
ural temperature is not only very conducive
to health, but has an actual tendency to favor
a fulness and roundness of the body. 1t says:
"Whether this is the result of a better action
on the part of the digestive assimilative and
depurative functions, owing to the internal
cleanliness or flushing of the human sewers
produced by large quantities of water, or
whether water has some specific action in
producing this fulness, we do not know nor
does it signify, since observation confirms as
a fact that the free use of water does really
have this effect"

1t has been stated often enough that heavy
applications of sifted coal ashes about the
roots of currant and gooseberry bushes, will
keep them free of the currsnt worm. We
have given this a thorough trial, and find
that the bushes so treated are Just as much
infested as the others. Somebody, probably
mulched his bushes with coal ashes. They
happened to escape the worm that season.
He wrote about it to his farm paper, and it
has been going the rounds ever since. Ri
rdl Netc YORKER.
There are hundreds of other sure remedies
for as many different ills, not one of which
has any more effect for the purpose for which
it is used than coal ashes on the currant
worm. They appear in the paper, and, like
the coal ashes remedy, go the rounds When
a remedy is used and recovery follows every
one seems TO take it for granted that there
has been a cure, when the real fact may be
that the remedy did not prevent a recovery
which would have taken place just az well
