Sugar Beet Culture.

California papers are prophesying that
the raising of beets for sugar will in a
short time become one of the important
industries in that state. During the last
few years farmers have been planting
beets for the sugar refneries, and in most
cases have found it quite profitable. A
number are going into the business on a
large scale. One gentleman has entered
into contract with Mr.. Spreckels to this
end, and is about to plant a, 900 acres in
sugar beets on the Rancho Chino, in San
Bernardino county. Mr.. Spreckels has
contracted with the Southern Pacific
railroad people to transport the crop
north to his refinery. It is calculated
that the land will clear $500 an acre in
refined sugar, or $4,000, 600 on the crop.
This crop on the Rancho Chino, it is be-
ieyed, will be profitable one to three
parties, the producer, the railroad com.
pany and the refner.

er it is an indispensable piece of furni-
ture, and the sooner he enters into close
communication with one, wins its conf
dence and learns to diagnose its peculi-
arities, the earlier will he get upon the
turnpike to opulence and severity.
The incubator, according to the au-
thority quoted, needs and must have
house especially constructed for it. This
house need not be large nor expensive.
but it must have climate in its interior
that is very equable. To secure this de-
sirable end. the walls and roof must
be double and have the space between
packed with some non-conducting mate
rial, like finely chopped straw, hay or
chaff. 1t should also be provided with
double window, so placed that the light
can fall directly upon the front of the ma
chine, or machines. The entrance should
be through another building, or through
doubleor storm doors. \ good ventilator
is necessity, and it should be so arranged
that it can be partly or entirely closed, as
found necessary.
To aid the beginner is herewith pre-
scented sectional view of one end of a
Matching house. F are foundation
stones. xxx are exc pieces to which
the outer and inner walls are nailed. Raft
ers are same size. Dead air spaces in
walls and roof are filled with finely cut
straw, hay Or chat, which is every whit
as good for this purpose as sawdust,
while it does not gather dampness. If
the inner wall is lined with building pa
per, so much the better. is double
window in the side of the building. V,
ventilator to open and close. The ends
of the building are made same as the
sides. If not over twelve feet long, nc
ties are needed. The ends will prevent
any spreading. As may be seen, the
whole affair can be constructed in Sec
tons and put up afterward.

Dexter-Rerry Cattle.

The growing popularity in England of
the little Irish breed of cattle known as
the Kerry" warrants few words III
its behalf. At the recent Windsor show
great interest was shown in the large
and excellent display of Kerrys and
Dezter-Kerrys. Her majesty the queen
was positively pleased with them, and
in consequence a small herd has been
established at Windsor. At the show OF
the Newcastle Royal was on exhibi.
ton beautiful bull, "Moonlighter,' ;.
which SO pleased the Prince of Wales
that he purchased the animal in the
presence of the many thousand persons
who surrounded the ring. The ilustra-
ton here given affords good represen.
tation Of the prize winner Dexter-Kerry
COW Dainty"
G. NJ. Allender, an English authority
on the Kerry and Dexter-Kerry breeds,
writes: While convinced that the Dexter
is without doubt the more useful animal
Of the two, if a choice between them has
to be made, do not wish to deny that
the Kerry proper is good little beast
only 1 think the Dexter is better. While
not inferior to the Kerry in milking
properties or in constitution, the Dexter
is most perfect "beef" animal, and as
the Joints are small, and the quality of
the meat excellent, look upon it as the
''Southdown" amongst cattle. The Kerry
proper is not beef animal, little more
SO than the Jersey, but the Dexter feeds
quickly, either as steer or barren COW,
and weighs from 400 pounds to 500
pounds dead.

Slides There is hole in each side, near
the top, for the purposes of ventilation
and light. In the box is placed about
four inches of moist black dirt: upon
this is placed cut straw. All is now in
readiness for the eggs and the setting
hen. She is given the eggs and the door
is closed.
The run is made of lath-the width
and length of the box and one lath long.
A combination trough, containing corn
water and gravel, is placed in front of
the end of the run. Once day the door
is raised and the hen is allowed to come
off, which she does, and after eating,
drinking and taking dust bath, returns
to the nest. The eggs are examined by
opening a small slide door in the back of
the box.
The hen on the nest, the doors are
closed, and old biddy rests content, be-
Eeving that no one on earth knows where
she is. She is safe from rats and other
large vermin. She is not molested by
other hens. In fact, she is as sitting
hen should be. Since using this coop l
have Matched far larger per cent. Of
eggs than ever before. There is nothing
to prevent the hen from Matching every
fertile egg. When the chicks are Matched
they and the hen are removed. The box
and run are thoroughly cleaned. Then
it is placed in the yard and the hen and
chicks put into it. 1t makes q splendid
brood coop. In it the little chickens can
be fed. and larger birds cannot enter in

About ten quarts per diem is a fair
average in milk. AS to quality of their
milk, Dr.. Vieth's analyses, recently pub.
lished in The Journal of the R. a. S. E.,
clearly show that taking 100 average ami
mails of each breed, Dairy Shorthorns,
Jerseys and Kerrys, or Dexters, the Ker-
ry breeds stand exactly midway between
the two as butter producers; that the
Kerrys gives as much milk as the Jerseys,
but, in the case of the Dexter variety,
when no longer milking, they make beef
quickly and of the best quality. In COM
parison with Dairy Shorthorns, although
the quality of the milk is much better, it
is of course produced in less quantity, as
may be expected from the difference in
the size of the two breeds, big Dairy
Shorthorn weighing at least as much as
two Dexter-Kerrys.
Against this, however, we have to
look at the consumption of food, and the
fact that the hardy little Dexter will
stand any weather. Dexters are decid-
edly coming to the front as they de-
serve. The foundation of herd at San
dringham mas now been followed by the
establishment of one at Windsor, and /
am sure that we shall see these hand
some little animals making their way as
the home farm" cattle for the dairy and
for the table. Kerry beef will be the
fashion on the Christmas table, and a
very good fashion it will be.

Prevention of

The health department of the city OF
Providence has issued the following
circular:
Consumption causes more deaths
than any other disease the human race
is subject to. Nevertheless it is to a
very large extent p~reventable. 1t is,
though not generally known, q conta-
gious disease. Consumption, or pull
monary tuberculosis, is in every case
caused by disease germs which grow in
the lungs in enormous numbers. When
a person is sick with this disease, these
germs are coughed up in great quantl-
ties in the eypectoration, and when
this becomes dry and crumbles, or is
trodden to dust, the germs float about
in the air and are liable to be breathed
into the lungs of any one. If the lungs
of the person who does breathe them
are poorly developed, or if the consti-
tuition is feeble, the germs are very
sure to grow and cause the disease.
Unfortunately, we do not know how to
kill them when they are once in the air
passages. The best that can be done
is to build up the system and strengthen
the lungs by the use of cod liver oil,
good food, and fresh air.
Much, moreover, a be done to pre-
vent the spread of the disease by des-
troying the germs as completely as pos
sible in every case.
l. No person with consumption
should ever spit on the floor or in the
street. IF handkerchiefs or bits of cloth
are employed, they should at one be
disinfected or burned. A good plan is
to use a small wide-mouthed bottle
with a rubber stopper. The contents
should be thrown into the fire and the
bottle and stopper thoroughly scalded
with boiling hot water every day,
2. The dishes used by a consump-
tive should be at once scalded; and the
unwashed underwear and bed clothing
should be thoroughly boiled as soon as
possible.
3. When a person with consumption
has diarrhea, the discharges from the
bowels should at once be disinfected,
as at this time they contain the disease
germs. A good way is to add a half
teacupful of fresh chloride of lime, or
I'll mp the chamber vessel with boiling
water.
4. No one with consumption should
sleep in the same room with another
person, and the room occupied by a
consumptive should be thoroughly
cleansed as often as possible.
S. No mother with consumption
should nurse an infant, and children
ought never to be taken care of by a
consumptiye person.-Boston Medical
and Surgical Journal.
