The Sugar Industry.
Kansas City Globe.

The Nebraska farmers are going in
TO the production of the sugar beet on
a large scale. The Chicago Tribune
says: "a factory is to be located at
Grand Island with the capacity for
handling $50 tons of beets per day,
and q steamer is now unloading the
machinery at New Orleans for the
factory. The same steamer also
brings fifty tons of sugar beet seed for
distribution among the farmers In the
vicinity of the factory, which, 1t is es-
timated, will utilize the product OF
10000 acres of land. The soil has
been tested aud found to be more IA
vorable even than the beet soil in
France and Germany and the farmers
are hopeful of a return of from $25 TO
$40 an acre. The results Of the exper-
iment will be watched with q great
deal OF interest" Kansas must look

Attempted Escape.

Tertiary from Columbus, came very
near escaping from prison at Leaven.
worth. 1t seems that he worked in
the coal mine 600 feet under ground,
and when the time came for the men
to come out he was missing. They
hunted for him and it was found that
he was escaping by the air shaft. He
had secured two picks and he would
stick one in the wood with which the
shaft was curbed and when he had
the pick fast he would put his foot on
it and raise himself up; then he
would withdraw the other pick and
stick it in above, thus making steps
and climbing up solid plank wall 600
feet 10 the surface. After several
hours he came successfully out at the
top and was received by an officer de-
tailed to wait for him. This certainly
was q wonderful feat.

Whole Oats for Cows.

Breeder in Canadian Live Stock and Farm
Journal.
Let me place before my fellow
stockmen q fact that have learned
through repeated experience, and one
that may prove of equal benefit to
them. Now that the COWS are calving
through the country there will be
many cases occurring of trouble with
the cleansing or afterbirth not coming
away. Twill give you preventive Of
such trouble that have found to be
worth a great deal TO me. About ten
days before calving or when the COW
begins to let down her bag, feed her
about half Il gallon Of whole oats per
day until she calves and I will
guarantee she win clean all right.
The oats must not be chopped. You
may say this is very simple aud, per-
haps, only a notion; but I have never
known It to fail in my experience Of
sixteen years.

Charlie Goerlitz, proprietor of the
toll road and a couple Of farms be-
tween the Falls and the city, having
dropped politics and backed down to
honest toll, is rather proud of his
granger achievements, as well he may
be. Last year he sold the milk of IA
cows, rs, 100 pounds, for $SSl.44 cash.
The herd averaged 5,5S5 pounds of
milk each, and brought their owner
an average of $62.96. The only feed
used that was not produced on the
farm was 40 bushels of corn, one ton
of middlings and one ton of bran.
Over 800 bushels of grain was also
produced last year. Charlie says pol.

that the milk was all sold to a milk

1RL r. HICKS WEATHER PROPHET.

IRL X. HICKS WEATHEh PhOfdEI'
The following taken from the "storm
chart" for 1890 of Rev. Irl r. Hicks OF
st. Louis will prove interesting to
many. Here are his predictions for
MAY.
The first two or three days of May
will be cloudy and wet and will be
followed up to the reactionary moder-
alton about the 9th, by cool days and
nights with hard frosts in many parts
of the country. Be prepared. The
equinoxes of both Mercury and Vul-
can fall on the 18th, hence expect
about the 18th, 18th, 18th and 18th a
succession of hard storms. Tornadoes
at this time will be the natural result.
Be on the lookout should angry, cleo
trical clouds gather about these days.
Late frosts to the northward will come
after the storms of this period. Earth
quakes probable. Secondary disturb
ances about the 18th. The equinox Of
Mars falls Oh the 26th and will inten-
sify the storm period from the 2lst to
26th. This may be counted danger
period. Watch the Odd, Oath and 18th.

How a verdict Was Reached.

Before Judge Stewart was elevated
to the bench. says the Baltimore Sun,
he had case In the city court in
which he was fearful of being thrown
out of court, as the opposing council
was cutting down his claim. as it
seemed probable that the jury. il they
gave him verdict at ALL would find
for less amount than $780, OF which
the court could not take jurisdiction.
Lawyer Stewart resolved to put bold
face on the matter, and demanded Of
the jury for at least $125. When the
verdict was rendered. Lawyer Stewart
was much surprised to find that it was
in his favor for $287. He afterwards
asked an acquaintance of his who was
on the jury how the verdict had been
reached. ..You see, Mr.. Stewart"
said his friend, 1--WE could agree upon
no amount, and finally it was resolved
that each juryman should write sum
on piece of paper, and the total
should be divided by twelve. which
should be the verdict. Knowing that
all the others were for small verdict,
I wrote $3. 1000" On an other occasion.
Lawyer Stewart made a bold. but as
he believed. unsuccessful. claim for u
verdict of 5000, and was correspond
ingly astonished wien the jury gave
him $3.50. "You see, Stewart" said u
friend Of his upon the jury. there
were ten Of us who would have given
you any amount you asked. but there
were two who wanted to give $3.50
only. Finally it narrowed down to
$3.50 against $3.50, the smaller amount
being championed by the two men,
and It was resolved to write the two
amounts on slips of paper and place
them in hat, which was to DO held by
one Of tho two men while the other
drew one of the papers. the amount
written on 1t to be the verdict. This
was done, and the slip with $3.50 came
