Manufacturer OF Beet Sugar.

The manufacture of sugar from beets
is an intricate process requiring heavy
aud costly machinery. The juice OF the
beets contains some potash salts aad a
crude disagreeab.e flavor due to various
impurities which must Sbe got rid OF or
the sugar will not crystallze. The beets
are washed and ground to fine pulp; the
pulp is then carried to large iron tanks
ranged in a series in which hot water is
pumped to dissolve out tne sugar. The
liquid from the first tank is pumped into
the next one to take the sugar from that
and so on until the sugar is all dissolved
out, or as nearly so as may be possible.
The syrupis then cleansed or defeated,
and is boiled down in vacuum pans Of
large size by steam heat, until it is thick
enough to granulate. 1t is then cooled
and put into a centrifuge which throws
out the molasses and leaves the sugar dry.
The sugar is whitened by fiitering the
syrup through bone chorcoAl. A largo
quantity of heavy and costly pumps,
pipes, watts, ETC., is required, 50 that
500, 900 is a small capital for a sugar
factory. 1t is evident that this process
is beyond the ability of the growers of
the beets. A very poor quality of mo-
lasses only can be made from beets in
small way.-NcD York Tins.

The Messrs. Geer are fruitgrowers, and
early this season they bought an outfit
for spraying, with the prescribed for
nulas, their vines, trees, etc, to destroy
noxious insects. The sprayer is large,
and has been mounted in a barrel fast
encd in a frame, on a pair of short sled
runners, the object being to gain smooth
ness of motion, and to move 1t about
easily among the trees and vines. A
horse is the motive power. After the first
spraying of the vines a heavy shower
came on, but they were as white after
the rain as before. This set Mr.. Gecr

his spraying outfit, and in one hour

Three Curious Circumstances.

ID G. r. Robertson, OF Joplin, Mo-, once
found a cavity in large burr oak tree
in which about a pint of pin oak acorns
had been stored The excavation in
which the acorus had been found had been
made by woodpeckers and was In the
most solid part of the tree. Mr.. Robert
son says that according TO Chambers
there was 39S years growth of wood
over the end Of the cavity, yet all the
acorns were as fresh as if only put away
by the birds or squirrels the fall before
Robert Buchanan, of Monroe County,
Iowa, while digging coal shaft on his
farm, east of Abba, found a new species
of mouse imbedded IN the clay thirty feet
below the surface. 1t was found in lit
tie cavity just large enough to fit the
body, but without any clay adhering to
its fur. The sides of the cavity seemed
worn ana poilshed, as IL ths little crea-
ture had turned around thousand, AMI

it was in perfect state of preservation

TILE DRAINING IN RELATION TO DROUGHT
From observations of the effects OF
cutting off the forests in Michigan and
draining the land with surface bitches
and tile trains and from experiments
with reference to the percolation of water
Though soils, the following conclusions
were reached at the experiment station
of Michigan Agricultural College:
Surface ditching in connection
with decreasing may increase floods and
contribute to droughts.
Second-The drainage may increase
flood at the "break up" in Spring, when
the water accumulated in the surface soil
by the Joint action of frost and soil ca
pillarity during the Winter and the sur
face Accommodations in the form OF snow
are suddenly set free by rapid thaw.
Third-During the warm months the
draining tends to mitigate food by TAX
inc up the excessive rainfall and holding
it in capillary form, keeping back the
sudden flow that would pass over the
surface of the soil, if not absorbed by it,
and escape by flood, and mitigating
Summer drought by increased capacity
of the soil to hold water in capillary
form, and to draw upon the subsOil water
by reason of the increased capillary
power of such soil produced by tile drain

Costly Metals.

Some rare metals possessing special
qualities are required for certain work.
Thus; palladium is used in making some
parts of timepieces, and iridium for the
points of gold pens. Lithium is the
lightest Of metals. Rhodium is extremely
hard and brittle, aud is only fusible at
very high temperature, and iridium is
the heaviest substance hitherto dis
covered. The uninitiated have no idea
of the value Of these scarce products,
which are most of them far more precious
than gold and silver, as far as their
market value is concerned

Teaching Cadets 10 Fire Big Guns.

To quicken competition In marksman-
ship Of the members OF the United States
Naval Academy, at Annapolis, Mich, a
prize is offered this year for the cadet
making the best score with the three
FOUNDER Hotchkiss de-iring gun. The
tug Standish, upon whose forecastle the
gun is mounted, is taken out on the
Chesapeake every afternoon until each
individual of the first class has fired tho
requisite number Of shots.
The manner in which practice is car
ried out is as follows The tug first drops
and launches boat in which are two OBJ
servers: then stelming on for 1909 yards
the target is put overheard and anchored.
This target is eight feet high and eight
feet long on its lower part, is made of
black cloth supported on a wooden float.
The tug then changes her course 10 one
at right angles from her former one and
continues on for another 1890 yards,
when a second boat with observers is
stationed. The Standish is then anchored
and the gun is cast loose ard trained on
the target. This gun can carry a shell
about three miles. The charge Of powder
is one pound and eleven ounces and the
cartridge case containing shell and charge
weighs six pounds.
One thousand to 400 yards is taken
as the distance in these exercises, since
that is the approximate range at which
firing against torpedo boats would begin.
The principal reliance of vessel against
torpedo boats is a rapid firing battery
and 400 yards is about the limit at
which these dangerous craft can be dis
covered by the search light. Thirteen
shots are allowed to each man, the first
three CT which are trial shots and do not
count on bis score. The range then be-
lug estimated, the sight bar is fixed and
when the sights are on the target the gun
is fired. From the boat nearest at right
angles to the line of fire, the amount the
shot falls over or short of the target is
signalled and the sight bar is raised or
lowered as may be required. These dis
tances are arrived at by the observer in
the noting with T square the number
OF degrees subhued between the target
and the splash of the shot and this is
communicated to the Standish by wig
wag flag signals.
After three trial shots the gunner is
supposed to have learned the correct ele-
walton and the succeeding shots are the
score. The result of each shot as OBJ
served from the boat is afterwards plated
on a large diagram and the score made
up. Great efficiency is attained by the
cadets ia this exercise. To make the
maximum percentage everyone of the ten
shots must fall within a reotangle of ten
feet by thirty-fOur and these fred from
gun supported on an unsteady platform;
nevertheless one of the members of the
present first class has attained ninety five
per cent, and many others are credited
with excellent scoIes.-Nea0 Orleans

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Grow as FAR as possible all your grain
feed on your OWE farm.
On the farm the poultry ought to pay
good part Of the running expenses.
Feed poultry only soft feed in troughs !;
scatter grain of all kinds on the ground.
Always have the nests 50 that the hens
can walk into them rather THAI jump
down.
Cooked food fattcns fowls more readi-
". because it is more thoroughly di-
gested.
When duck eggs are set under hen
it is best to make the nest on the
ground
Ducks grow faster than chickens, are
free from vermin and less liable to
disease.
Hens should never be fed so well that
when they are given good range they
will not forage a good portion of the
time.
If the poultry arc confined now good
plan is to feed soft feed in the morning,
green fool at noon and whole grain at
night.
BY feeding for early maturity we may
make sure OF some profit in stock rails
ing. 1t costs less to add flesh to a
young, growing animal :haa to mature
one. Get early maturing breeds, and
then feed toward that end.
The value Of the vegetables purchased
by farmers every year is enormous.
Trains leave Philadelphia daily with
loads of vegetables 10 season for the far
mers along the lines of railroads, many
Of them giving the cultivation Of gar
den no consideration.
While some farmers spread all their
manure on ten acres in order to grow a
crop Of corn ard bestow the labor on n
large area, Others mag perform their
work on a single acre of celery, cabbage
or small fruit, aud realize larger profit
than those who cultivate ten times a.
much land.
