AN S ON MAN.
Written From the Standpoint of a Stu
dent of Vassar College.

Written From the Standpoint of a Stu
dent of Vassar College.
Men are peculiar; they wear No. 10
boots and nore. This is what makes it
easy to recognize a man when you see
one. Men wear hats they are careful
of and carry umbrellas they are not
careful of; when not losing them they
are always poking them into some
body's eyes. Men don't gossip, but
they do go to their clubs and talk over
the "news". Men don't paint or
powder ~(often), but they raise whisk-
ers that makes them look like Scotch
terriers, and coax the little hair moles
to grow on their chins. Men are not
vain, but they never like the young
lady who says they are not handsome.
Men are consistent. They like to
see the dress of a lady plain and SEN
sible, "hate furbelows and fummery,"
but let a lady in a "plain, sensible
dress enter a car where these men are
seated and she may stand an hour and
not n of them offer her a seat, but
when a lady enters arrayed in the
height of fashion every one of them
will spring to his feet and glory in the
honor of standing for her sake, or
rather for the sake of her clothes. Men
find fault with themselves, not
1t they can help it. Adam showed
them how they could help it, and they
have profted by his instruction. Men
take cold and think they are going to
die, and when you carry them a bowl
OF herb tea they turn pale and ask you
it is bitter and if you don't suppose
it would do just as well to take it next
week. Men don't lead around a poodle
dog with blue ribbon, but they chew
tobacco and perfume their clothes with
a pipe. Men r always wanting a
clean shirt, and when they get one
they are always ready to swear that
there is not a button on it, when all
time the buttons will be there,
only they can't find them. Men can
never find anything. They pull off
their boots and forget where they put

SUGAR BEETS AT WATSON
VILE.

According to all accounts, the beet
sugar business at jacksonville is pro-
crossing f%avorably. The Bulletin of
August lst says:
All the farmers about jacksonville,
who planted the imported sugar-beet
seed given them by Claus Spreckels,
are watching their crops with great
solicitude. The beets are now nearly
grown, and the intention is to gather
them in the early part of September
and store them in readiness for mill
ing. Nearly 200 farmers planted the
seed in fields of from 5 to 20 acres.
Altogether about $500 acres in the
section are planted in sugar beets. A
few weeks ago some of the half-grown
beets were brought up here for exam
nation and analysis. The result was
very satisfactory, and all engaged in
the new enterprise feel encouraged
and confident that this is but the be-
ginning of a great industry.
1.-The buildings of the Watersonville
plant are nearly completed. Engineer
Waters, formerly of the California
refinery, has entire charge of the
jacksonville project, and 200 men are
now aiding him to hasten construction
and equipment. Mr.. Waters accom-
panied Mr.. Spreckels to Europe last
year, and while there he was able to
make a thorough study of beet-sugar
manufacture. DR.. Wachtel, a German
chemist who returned with the party
from the European prospecting tour,
is at Watsonville, doing all he can to
assist the beet c~ultivators. He was
engaged in the b~eet-sugar industry in
Germany, and his experience is of
much value for the farmers. All the
machinery brought by Spreckels from
Germany is at Watsonville, in readi-
ness to be set up when the buildings
are all done. In addition to other
structures, sheds that will hold from
5000 to 10000 tons of beets have
been built. These are for storage
purposes only. A side track to the
factory from the Southern Pacific
line at jacksonville has just been
built. The farmers have been prom
ised sale for all the beets they will
raise. Further than this, Mr.. Spreck-
els has offered cash prizes to those
farmers whose crops show the best
average in product, other things being
equal, and also to the farmer whose
beets show the highest percentage of
sugar. Mr.. Spreckels expects to be
here the last part of this month or the
first of next, and he hopes to start the
new enterprise in person.
The Chico Enterprise of August I'd
says: The imported sugar-beet seed
given the farmers to plant by Claus
Spreckels is doing nicely. The farm
ers are watching the crop with great
solicitude. The beets are now nearly
grown, and the intention is to gather
them in the early part of September
and hold them ready for shipment.
Nearly 80 farmers planted the seed in
fields of from one to five acres. A
few weeks ago some of the half-grown
beets were brought into town for ex-
animation and analysis. The result
was very satisfactory, and all who en-
gagged in the planting feel encouraged
and confident that this is the beginning
of a great industry for Chico and
Butte county.
