scarce and sold at good prices After
they declined in price 70 or below %
cents per bushel, he said he cnnE get more
money feeding them to pigs poultry
sheep and mich cows than he could by
selling.
On good land it is easy to grow 600 to
200 bushels per acre. The leaf shows
plainly when the plants first come up. thus
making it easy to take care of them In
rows l-2 feet apart, most of the work
can be done with the cultivator.
Late in the season the beet tops meet
over the interval thus shutting out weed
growth. The broad leaves get great
deal of carbon from the air, thus making
the crop exhaustive. Beets need deep
soil but rather to have plenty of water
than fertility.

Mary Thompson. an inmate of the
Canberwell workhouse, celebrated the
one hundred and seventh anniversary Of
her birthday recently, and in view of
the event Mr.. Frank Whit, the master
Of the workhouse, has furnished portraits
Of the old la'iy to the queen and the
Prince of Wales. Polly, as Miss Thomp-
son is Familiarity called by her fellow in
mates. enjoys fairly good health in spite
of her years. and her intellect is singu-
larly clear. Her memory carries her
back to incidents which occurred so or
70 years ago, when she was in service.
Polly is rather proud of the fact that
she managed to resist all offers of mar
rage, for she says, 1.-The men worked
the women SO hard in them days" For
nearly 30years Miss Thompson has lived
within the walls of the Camberwell
workhouse, and the good health she still
enjoys is probably due to the care and
attention she receives at the hands Of
the officials. -Lloyd's Newspaper.
