THE SUGAR BEET.
Careful Experiments Made on the
Chino Ranch.

nahChs
On July 4, 1889, Charles L. Hanson
planted sugar beet seed on his nursery
place about mile and half north of
here. No special care was taken in
pl anting and none in the cultivation.
The plants were on land that needs irri-
cation, and, of course, were irrigated oc-
casionally. On last Monday careful
analysis WAS made of some of the beets
just taken from the ground, and which
grew from the July planting, with these
results:
Total solids. s............-..18 per cent
Polarization (cane sugar.. IA $40 per cent
Coethcient of purity ...........7s 5.10 per Der cent
These results are truly remarkable,
Taken in connection with results OBJ.
tanned by analysis during every week
since the maturity of the Chino-grown
beets last year, it is reasonable to be-
lieve that factory may be supplied
here twelve months in the year, whereas
elsewhere the season is but eighty to a
hundred days. Many tests go to prove
with almost certainty that though the
quantity of sugar will somewhat diminish
by the beets remaining in the ground
long alter maturity, it does not turn to
glucose as feared by manufacturers of
beet sugar.
These beets planted in July, 1885,
out of the ground in February, 1890, give
IA 10 per cent. cane sugar, with a
purity of 70 $40 and harmless guam
tity of glucose. This is above the aver.
age OF cane sugar.
Beet seed is being planted in many
parts of the Chino ranch every fifteen
days. The paintings are several miles
apart-that is, they stretch over about
six miles of country. Every good variety
is put in the ground, the time of each
planting being noted. They will be given
good care, and their progress and time OF
maturity will be adequately recorded, as
we'll as the kind of soil. At the end of
1890 there will be mass Of ascertained
facts about sugar beet culture on the
Chino ranch that will be of the highest
value for practical sugar beet growing
and manufacturing here.-[Chino Cham

appeared to be TO make as much money

OF raising United States flags over paro-

She said that the Catholics wished to

tried to sncw that they were making
Herculean efforts TO obtain control Of
the schools in order to subvert them to
their own uses and drive non Catholic
children from them. She thought the
general government should have control
Of them, and that the men OF the country
should vote against any encroschment OF

thought parocbiAl schools were a source

WASTE OF LABOR.
The Poor Economy of Using One. Horse

The Poor Economy of Using One Horse
Implements.
There is a great waste of labor in the
practice here in the South of using
mostly one-horse implements. A man
can drive as easily and as we'll two,
three or four horses to pillow wagon, ETC.,
as he can single animal Take plow-
ing, for instance, on six-mule planta-
ton; it is the usual custom to put a
driver behind each mule, when by put
ting three abreast two men can, by u.s.
ing two twelve-inch to fourteen-inch
turning plows (of which there are so
many patterns as near perfection as
man can make things now to be had), do
far better and more thorough work than
is possible with six one-horse plows of
any pattern, much less the scooter,
which is only relic of pioneer times,
and is as much out of date as the spin
ning-wheel or the hand-loom.
The fourteen-inch pillow cuts a clean
swath through the roots of saw-briars,
cow-itch vines, etc.-those horrid pests
instead of lodging, and only cultivat-
ing them like scooter, or, indeed any
one-horse pillow. The hard spots in the
soil in like manner being left unbroken,
and as any Of the leading makes of
plows referred to will, when properly
adjusted, run without holding almost;
they will, in fact, where there are no
changes of soil or distractions to turn
them out of course 1t is really easier
work than holding a scooter, which is
the most ungainly tool that man in
vented. In having also harrow, COW
ering from five to nine feet, will do far
more perfect work than several small
ones. While tending crops during the
first stages of growth a single-horse
cultivator or double-shovel is superior
to the two-horse cultivator, but with
this exception the latter is decidedly
the better implement, to say nothing Of
the economy in labor. The use of
this two-horse cultivator revolu-
tIonized corn growing on the prairies.
1t, together with the two-horse corn
planter, enabled the farmer to take adj
vantage of fine weather to go over his
field quick when opportunity offered,
and consequently to accomplish more
with given amount Of labor. So an
Illinois farmer tends forty acres Of corn
