MAKING PEOPLE ALL ALIKE.
what the Sewing Machine and Telegraph
are Doing.

What the Sewing Machine and Telegraph
are Doing.
Some wit remarked that the sewing
machine and telegraph are rapidly
making one people of all that dwell on
the face of the earth. They are destroy
ing the national pecularities of the dress
of men in the countries of Europe by
giving .hem the styles of everyday
clothing from London, which is the great
center of traffic for that part of the
world.
Ready-made garments from London
are sold the shops of Amsterdam, Berlin,
Vienna, Copenhagen, Christiana, Stock
holm and st. Petersburg, and in many
of the smaller cities, which obtain their
supplies from the great ones on the list,
or from London direct.
Formerly an English sailor could be
readily distinguished from Danish or
Swedish one, and each of these from
the other by his distinctive costume, but
at the present time all of them are
dressed alike, and quite possibly their
garments came from the same factory.
Fifty years ago the homespun gar
ments of New England differed from
those of the western and southern
States, and these again from those of
Canada, but nowadays, says an ex-
change, the homespun has been largely
driven out by "store Clothes" which
have found their way into the great
majority of the towns and villages all
over the land.
The business of manufacturing cloth
ing on the theory that every garment
that is made will fit somebody and find
a customer is increasing year by year,
and though the coats and trousers TINS
created are sold at price that defies
competition on the part of the weaver
of homespun, the trade seems to be a
profitable one for all concerned.
In many of the large establishments
the cutting is done with great rapidity,
the cloth being phi. i in thickness of one
or two hundred layers, which are cut
by fine saw that follows metal pat
tern, under the guiding hand of single
operator.
Thus, with the aid of machinery, one
person can do the work of fifty in the
cutting of garments, the sewing machine
follows closely and rapidly, and in this
way the whole world is clad.
With our clothing of one pattern and
the telegraph laying before us every
day all the news of the world, we are
not only dressing alike, but thinking
and talking of the same things at the
same time.--N. Y. Continent

Culture of the Sugar Beet.

In recent compilation made by the
Norfolk &c Western Railroad Company,
for the information of Virginia agri-
culturists, it is shown that there are
100000 acres devoted to sugar-beet
culture in Europe; Germany leads in
the manufacture of sugar, though
France has more acres under cultiva-
ton. Though the mode of planting and
cultivation changes somewhat as ex-
perience dictates, yet the prevailing
method is to stir the soil to the depth of
twenty inches the fall previous to
planting; then upon previously-pre.
pared ridges, two feet apart, plant the
seed, and when the plants appear thin
them to ten or twelve inches apart in
the row. Neither very light nor heavy
clay soils are suited to beet raising; a
soil suitable to wheat culture seems
the most favorable for beet culture

POTASH FOR CORN.
Results of Experiments at the KentuckS
and Ohio Stations.


The Kentucky experiment station,
located at Lexington, is in the heart OF
the blue grass region, and on a soil
which has been formed from the decom-
position of the underlying limestone
rocks. On this soil potash seems to be
the most needed element in a fertilizer
for corn, although it has not produced so
marked an effect on wheat.
Bulletin No 33 of this station reports
a series of experiments in applying fer
tilizers to corn, of which the following
is the stations summary:
''The results obtained this year are
almost identical with those of the last
two years, that is:
81. That in those plots where potash
was one of the ingredients of the fer
tilizers used there was a marked in
creased yield, both in corn and fodder.
''2 That in plot Is, where fertilizer
was used without potash, there was
scarcely any increase in yield over
those plots containing no fertilizer.
'3. That the greatest increased yield
was made by using a combination of
potash and nitrogen.
"a. The use of muriate of potash
alone resulted in marked increased
yield over the plots containing no fer
tilizers. e".t.
''5. That there was profit in the use
Of fertilizers in every instance where
potash was one of the ingredients, the
largest net profit arising from the use
of the mixture of nitrate of sodium
and muriate of potash.
''6. That there was a loss by the use
of fertilizers where potash was not one
of the ingredients.
80. That so far, potash fertilizers
have shown their effect the third season
after application"
The Ohio station has been conducting
similar experiments to those reported
above, both on its farm in Colum bus
and on several other farms in different
parts of the state; but the results diff
fer from those of Kentucky in that no
combination of fertilizers has produced
sufficient increase of crop to pay for
the cost of application. In only one
place has potash produced any marked
effect in Ohio, and that was in Butler
count, on soil that is probably large
ly derived from similar rocks to those
which have formed the blue grass soil

HICKORY DAMAGED BY sAP-sucKER.
IS the white pine, hickory, apple and

as the white pine, hickory, apple and
peach. ~
For three years past / have been
studying the bird in question. Every
spring the downy woodpeckers have
visited a small white pine within q
few feet of the window before which ]
spend several hours each day. The
birds, as is their usual way, go around
the tree and cut a ring of holes around
it. When the wood is reached they
suck the sap. which at this season flows
copiously. With the aid of field glass
i have observed their acting closely
and have seen them taking the sap and
soft bark, which of the white pine is
it. By shooting them and examining
the stomachs they are found filled
with the sap and soft, pulpy bark, or,
more correctly, the alburnum, but no
traces of insects are to be seen. The
same has been the case with apple
trees, peach trees and an aspen which
is growing within twenty feet of the
window, and the same with young
hickories in the woods.
The hickory seems to be the most
favorite food with these birds of all the
forest trees. These trees are so dam
aged as to be entirely killed in few
years. The trees are girdled by annual
openings in the bark made in the same
place. The sketch sent herewith gives
an example of the damage done to
these trees, The rings gradually form
restricted grooves around the trees,
where the bark forms thick calluses
and finally the wood dies. In time the
trees perish and break off at the rings
under any usually strong wind.
The white oaks are also damaged,
but seem to resist the injury better
than the hickories. The wood under
these rings upon some large oaks be-
comes curiously distorted in the grain,
showing how the injury in young
tree remains TO the last. Thick rings
of bark form over the wounded places
boards some beautiful veinings are
found in the grain, waves and curls
being formed at times for foot in
length, and the lumber cut from such
trees makes beautiful finishing stuff for
panels and other ornamental work. If
no other harm were done we could
easily forgive these birds, but three
dead apple trees and several badly in
jjured ones in my orchard prove that
the sap-sucker, at some season of the
year, is beyond question an injurious
