WoLsEY, S. D., Nov. 4.-For the past
two years some of our farmers have
been looking about them to see if they
could not find something that was bet
ter adapted TO our dry climate than
small grain, and therefore more remun-
e~rative. The subject of sugar beets has
been carefully watched by our farmers,
and the report Of success which comes
from Nebraska inspires them with hope.
This new industry bids fair to take a
deep hold upon our farmers and al
ready many are asking why a large SUI
gar plant would not be a success here.
Many farmers in this vicinity have ex-
pressed themselves as favorable to the
project and are willing to plant large
fields Of beets If neces.
sary machinery for utilizing Thorn
is located here. Should a beet sugar
plant be located hero. from 1000 to
| 500 acres would be planted next sea-
son as a starter. One farmer in this
county raised four acres of sugar beets
which yielded 500 bushels per acre.
Under a thorough system of irrigation
II is reasonable to expect that from 900
TO 1000 bushels could be produced per
acre. An organized effort will be made
this winter to induce some company to
locate a sugar plant. An analysis of
Dakota grown beets, made AT the
Brookings agricultural college, shows
that our beets contain more sugar than
those grown elsewhere, the dry soil be-
ing better adapted TO the raising Of
irst-class beets. With her present rail-
road facilities, surrounded as she is by
the best of farm lands and an abund-
ance Of the best of water, Wolsey would
be a good location for an extensive beet
sugar plant.

Professor Wilckens, OF Vienna, has
recently published some interesting OBJ
%serVations upon the transmission of
color in horses. English thorough
breds, both sire and dam being of tn o
same color, transmit their color to the
offspring in $50 cases out OF 1000.
When the parents are different in color
that Of the mare generally results. Bay
is the more frequent color, black the
~scarcest, and there are only about 100
mares per 1000. Two OF the same col
ored Arab horses will give their hue to
their offspring in s37 instances out of
1000. The Arab is usually white, and
700 times out Of 1000, il the mare is
white and the stallion is not, the foal
will be.

Pattcrs,n, Of Pennsylvauia, and Palmer,
OF Illinois, Proposed Candidates.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. s.-When Murat
Halstead, in an interview at Baltimore
yesterday, predicted that Robert f.
Pattison, OF Pennsylvania, who de-
feated Delamater for governor, would
be the next democratic candidate for
president, he struck the keynote Of the
intentions Of those who have Pattison's
interests in charge. 1t is an open secret
that ever since the young democrat last
filled the gubernatorial chair he has
been carefully doomed as a presidential
possibility by such vetern moulders of
public opinion as Colonel Alexander
Mcclure, William NJ. Singcrlcy and
some OF the representative democrats of
this state. Senator Quay's course in
the recent campaign, the nj in
which he forced his candidate upon
tho party in the face of the
fact that General Hastings was
the favorite in all the strong re-
publican districts, and the personal
nLopularity of Delamater gave the
- ~ VI ~ ah UNIV HNNbto ailh
unlocked for opportunity Of again bring
ing their man to the front in state pol
itics. How we'll their judgment was
indicated is shown by tho fact that
while Pattison heads the poll, ali his
associates on the same ticket are repub-
licans. Nothing but Pattison presiden-
tial talk is now being heard in demo
cratic circles, and not only is the young
governor-elect now formally regarded
as a presidential possibility, but even
thus early it would be almost safe to
~prophesy that a solid democratic dele
