Beet Sugar Farming.

The sugar beets I raised last year
were shipped in freight cars to the
Grand Island factory. One acre of
land was prepared by blowing eight
inches deep and subsoiling so as to
have eleven to thirteen inches of
loose SOIL. 1t was then narrowed and
smoothed with plank clod crusher.
The seed was Sown with Planet
Junior seed drill, twenty pounds to
the acre, though twenty-four pounds
are better, in rows eighteen inches
apart The field ought to be nearly
square, 50 the double wheel can be
used both ways when the thinning
out is done, which is the biggest and
most important part of the work.
The rest of the cultivation can be
cone by a one -hOrse cultivation. By
running the double-wheel hoe on both
sides Of the row, with the curved
parts inside, only strip one inch
wide In left for hand thinning and
wedding. With four.inch hoes re-
peat the operation few days later
at right angles to the rows, and only
little squares OF one square inch are
left to be thinned out and weeded,
which reduces the much-feared hand
labor to minimum. The rest Of the
cultivation was all done by the wheel
hoe, with the cultivator teeth in
serted in place Of the hoes For cul.

The Successful Farmer.

1t is very clear to one who studies
the drift Of things just now that the
most successful farmer will be the
one who changes his system to meet
the changed condition Of demands
for his products, and, as far as his
circumstances will permit, to produce
those special crops that sell most
easily and are most easily grown.
Thus the most successful farmers Of
the present time are those who rear
market lambs, poultry, or fine dairy
stock; grow potatoes, celery, small
fruits. or hay only; make fine butter
or fancy cheese; produce milk or
cream for sale, and who i'm their
special ways supply demands for
single products that meet with ready
and profitable sale. This system has
become so common and successful
that there are localities where moth
ing but one special product is Guilt
vated,, as onion districts, celery farms,
poultry villages, fruit plantations,
diaries congregated around a cheese
factory or creamery, fiocks for lambs
only near good shipping points, and
this special farming is made all the
more possible by excellent facilities
for cheap trans Jortation. Celery is
sent all over the South from Michi-
gan; hay goes the same way ], 600
miles; onions are sent from New York
and Ohio all over the country and go
to foreign lands; watermelons from
Georgia 60 all over the North; peaches
from Delaware and Maryland, and
the earliest ones from Central
Georgia find purchasers everywhere;
and so It is all through the list Of
most important products And the
time has come when this method
must be followed by every farmer
who may have the facilities for pro-
duction or transportation. There is
no risk Of OVERRIDING it, the consump-
tioA is always ahead OF production
and always will he in such cases as
require skilled management New

record is frightful one and deserves to
be called the new crime against Kansas,
which it certainly is. If Kansas farmers
can stand this raid on them they are
reckless indeed as to their genuine pros

W. Perkins, the Republican candidate
for president of City Council. says:
AT last the facts have been brought
out about tho war recorll OF Mr.. Henry
W. Perkins. the Republican candidate
for president of City Council. It Ia a
very good record, as Mr.. Perkins was
member of the Fourth Delaware
Regiment, an organization that saw
hot services all through the war;"
There is not word said about
Colonel Norton's war record, even
the Colonel himself Ia Silent In refer
ence to this matter. There are two
things the voters would like to know,
and there is no doubt but the Colo.
mel" can answer them, X he will. First
about that army record Why,t the Re-
publicans are almost as anxious to
know about 1t as the Democrats were
to learn that OF Mr.. Perkins.
That was satisfactory at least Dem
oeratic Glasses says 80. and as he is q
mouth-piece Of his party it must be
SO. The Colonel has made a pretty
big splurge In the q. A. r., and was
at one time spoken OF asa candidate for
Department Commander SO he should,
now that he Is a candidate for Mayor
expect some support from the G.
A. r.. let IL DO known when he enlisted
what regiment ana company he served
In and when he was discharged. Ar
other thing the people would like to
know Is how much he gave, or what
he promised. A. r. Horny, the colored
wouid-be politician tp publish that
card In the Dem ocratio papers urging
the colored voters to chst their ballots
for the Democratic party. II there
was anything paid 1t was bad invest
ment, as Henry has about as much In.
fiuence with the colorei voters as he
has with some tribe in Africa. In fact
he only controls one vote, and some.
times not even that.

sting injects some poison which sfFsctually
paralyzes the luckleBs spider, who a then
