Beet Culture.

The only locality in the state where
the sugar beet has been cultivated with
a view TO obtaining the sugar product is
in the vicinity Of Medicine Lodge, Barber
county. Mr.. J. H. NcCracken of that
county, gave that crop considerable at
tention last year and furnishes the Index
the following as his experience with the
sugar beet, which will be of especial in
tere5t to those who contemplate expert
menting with that crop this year and
who have had little or no practical ex-
perience with it:
First BOTTOM is the best land for
sugar beetS. 1t should be dark soil: very
sandy land is not suitable. The ground
may be plOughed at any time after the
frost IS out. If ploughing Is done early
and the weeds should get a start, the bet
ter way is TO plough again. The ground
should be ploughed from twelve to fif
teen inches deep, the soil well pulveriZed
with harrow and rolled or dragged until
the soil is perfectly smooth and the clods
well broken. Plant as soon as the ground
is warm, and in rows from fifteen to
eighteen inches apart. Using a seed drill;
put IN plenty OF seed ana tIlen Cnln them
out until they stand from three to six
inches apart in the row. Shallow Guilt
walton is the better way. Keep soil well
pulverized and free of weeds. By COM
mencing right, beets are easily raised.
Commence wrong and you viii be wrong
all through and will fail to succeed in
raising good crop.
There may be some more work about
raising sugar beet than is connected
with raising sorghum, but it should not
he forgotten that the price offered is
double the price for cane. Every farmer
should put in a few acres of beets, and if
he lives anywhere within a radius of ten
or twelve miles from town, he can afford
to raise them. Good land will produce
fifteen tons of beets. and if properly
cultivated they viii bring from 81 to 50
per ton. That would mean $50 to SO
per acre With good team could haul
two tons at a load, and at a season. too,
when no other farm work was pressing
from November to February. 1t viii be
strange if there is not a large acreage of
beets planted this season.

form Of you're not" he's not" OF ''he

From our Regular Correspondent
WAsHNeroS. Dec. 81, 1889.
Not even Christmas can stop the talk
concerning the Federal election bill upon
which Representative Lodge, Of Mass
achusetis, Is at work, at the request Of the
Republican members of the House CON-
mittee on elections. IL is now generally
conceded that this committee viii report
bill providing for The control Of Federal
elections by the United States Govern
ment. Whether such a bill will ever be-
come law is not so certain. II Il was to
be voted on at this time IL wonld undoubt-
edly fail 10 psss the House, us number
OF Republicans are opposed to II. and the
Democratic leaders have given Il ont
flat-footed that The Democrats will not al
low Il to 20 through II tillibusleriug viii
prevent it. III II should be made caucus
question after the Republicans have been
reinforced bv the aamissioA of.a snan.hsf,
Of those now coniesting seats. IL may be
pushed through the House, but it wall
only be after one OF the bitterest partisan
fights ever seen In Congress.
For the first time In nearly twenty years
there Is Christmas tree In the White
House. Last Tuesday night the Presi-
dent laid aside the cares Of state, together
with bis coat, and proceeded TO help erect
and decorate n tree for the Mckee
children, and all day Wednesday he
romped with the delighted children, and
the amount Of pure unadultented fun he
got out Of 1t can only be understood by us
grandfathers who did the same thing for
our own broods. May he live to repeat II
many times. No man is so learned, OF
great, or good that he cannot be i'm.
proved by association with children.
1t is highly pleasing TO Republicans 70
see the leading Democrats dividing be-
tween Hill and Cleveland und engaging
in blackguarding each other, as they have
been doing for some time. II they will
only keep IL up long enough the Repub-
.ican nominee in 1909 will have walk
over.
Mr.. Blaine smiles when anyone asks
him II he Is, as certain newspapers allege,
a candidate for the Republican nomina-
tion in 1909. It's enough 10 make any

Blaines brains and experience should
even be asked such question at this
