THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.

I. l.. Miller writing to the Rural World
of Chicago makes some interesting obser-
vations regarding the cultivation of the
sugar beet. This subject received atten-
trade and Is worthy of further cOnsidera-
ton from that body and our farmers
generally, as there is hardly room to
doubt bu, that this vegetable can be most
successfully raised in Northern Montana.
Mr.. Miller says; 81 have taken consider
able Interest in the growing of sugar beets
for the past fifteen years. In the yeal
1854 l r@.sed eighteen acres of sugar
beets, and kept an account of the cost and
yield. The total cost of this crop, includ-
ing everything, was $433.50. The yield
was 80 tons, or seventeen tons per acre,
at $1.35 per ton. The field was three-quar
tiers of IA mile from the cellar and at this
cost they were put in the cellar. | have
followed the raising of roots and the
sugar beet tor fifteen years for the pur-
pose of feeding stock. | have selected
the sugar beet because | deemed it the
best feeding beet, aud farther because |
believed that at some time the making of
beet sugar would become large indus
Try IN this country, and ! wished to es-
raised and at a reasonable cost, and that
| might speak anthorItafively as to cost
of raising tnem. And ! would here state
that ! have had no crop that would give as
uniform results rs does The sugar beet.
And for feeding to stock, | consider that
| one ton of sugar beets and two tons OF
cornmeal will make as much gain as three
tons of corn meal alone
AS the manner of cultivation Mr., Mil
Ter offers the following: ''TAe ground
should be clean, well plowed, and well
! cultivated. lave found a good clover
sod was one Of the best conditions to start
with. The ground should be well ma
nured and sell rOtted manure is best.
After the ground is we'll plowed and
dragged it should he thrown IN ridges
about twenty four inches 10 thirty inches
apart and the seed put in with a drill,
IN two ows nj once. The one
horse cu!tivator should be put between
he drills MS soon as the rows of roots can
,e seen and followed with the hoe as
Don as the plants are big e.ough and
hinned to six or eight inches apart in
he rows and kept clean until the tops
the ground"
1t might be well for some of our
snchmen to try the cultivation of this
rop the present season. Beets grow
politically here, and there is no good
why the sugar teet should not be
profitable crop, even If the manufac
ire of sugar from that product is not at
ace undertaken.

HAvLEToN, Pa, Feb. 8.-Every effort
is being put forth to raise the water from
the fateful mine by IA Of pumping
machines. To two duplex pumps and
one Cameron now in position was added
another Cameron today. II Mt greater
progress is made during the next forty
eight hours, it is probable an immense
p%lunper pump with a capacity Of several
thousand gallons a minute will be placed
in position. Among some Of the miners
at the village there is hope that death
has not swallowed up all the imprisoned
men. These hopeful ones argue that
there are portions of breast, in the fatal
lift of the flooded slope where some of the
men may have sought refuge, and where
ventilation Is sufficient to sustain life for
u time. With more experienced men
this theory Is scoffed at.

case argued before that court. The
case will be appealed to the supreme
court, where the decision is likely to
be affirmed. As has been pointed out,
a contrary decision as regards the
question of the clerical mistake would
tend to exaggerate the influence ot
accident and technical error in legis-
lation.
Another law passed last year, the
constitutionality of which was ques-
toned shortly after its passage, was
the so-called worsted law. This law
authorized and directed the secretary
OF the treasury to classify as WOODEN
cloths all imports of worsted cloths,
whether known under the name OF
worsteds, or diagonals, or otherwise
The constitutionality of the law WAS
contested on the ground that the rec
ord showed that less than a quorum
OF the body had voted on the passaE"
of the bill. The board of appraisers
decided in favor of the constitution
atty of the law, holding that it could
not go behind the fact of the attesta-
ton of the law by the president Of tie
senate and the speaker Of the house
and its approval by the president, al
OF which were regular, to determine
whether or not in its passage the
house of representatives had violated
a parliamentary rule or precedent

stitutionslity o the law was presente
to the court, but was not noticed i
its decision. OF more important
were the points that there was notl
ing in the act to show that the class
tications in it were meant for custom
or for other purposes, and that til
act could not be made to apply 10

THE MASQUERADE BALL.

Night.

The masquerade ball given by the
Great Falls Social club in the Arion hall

knights and ladies of high degree, kings,
princes, courtiers, clowns, sailors, generals
and ladies dressed to represent, spring,
simmer, autumn and winter, but to our
mind unprecedented. of c~ourss) the neat

1t will be remembered that shortly
after the passage of the Mckinley
tariff law its constitutionality was
called in question because of the
omission from the enrolled bill of a
portion of section 30. relating to the
allowance of drawbacks on tax paid
on manufactured snuff and tobacco in
the hands of dealers on Jan. l, 1891.
As to this point we believe the pre-
ponderence of intelligent opinion was
to the effect that the case was simply
one of failure to enact as far rs the
portion omitted from the enrolled bill
was concerned, and that the failure
to enact that section in no wise inval-
idated the rest of the bill. The ques-
ton came before the board of general
appraisers toward the close of the
year. The board decided in favor OF
the constitutionality of the law. Ii
took the ground that the portion OF
the enactment under consideration
which was omitted from the law ap'
proved by the president was but
single section relating to a separate
and severable subject, that of rebate
On tobacco, and that the whole law
should not fail as unconstitutional
and void because of Il clerical omls'
sion Of mat one section.
The further Injections were made
