plete. The wire is then stapied onto
the posts; and by taking pains to have
all the trees the same distance apart,
the fence, with the two by four-inch
POSTS, can be removed by taking out
the keys that hold them on, to any por-
ton of the farm where trees are pre-
pared for them.
This makes a very substantial and
durable fence, lasting from rs to 80
years. The trees need not cost anything
more than little time and attention,
as they can be obtained by planting
the seed from the incest apples; and
the fruit will more than repay for the
cost of the fence in few years.
Such a fence should be along every
public highway, as it would give the
road and fields an attractive and home
like appearance.-Farma and Fireside.

diversified Production Pays

Diversified production on tire farm
not only increases the opportunity for
profit, but lessons the risk OF failure.
With the average farmer the farm
should be made to produce nearly or
quite all that the family consumes, and
a surplus for market will often prove
a decided advantage. Dairying on the
farm can, with little good manage

SUGAR BEET CULTURE.
Farmers Are Making the Crop
Paw Fairly Well.

Nebraska Farmers Are Making the Crop
Pay Fairly Well.
The live question among farmers now
is what can be done to make farming
pay? If sugar beet growing pays in
Nebraska may il not be made profitable
in other grain-growing states? Ii is
On interesting question. What, then,
are they doing in that state that is
taking the lead in this industry? The
season is so far advanced that pretty
close estimate of the beet-sugar prod
uct may be made, and the output of
the great 0xnard factories is expect
ed TO reach a total of l5,000,0 900 pounds
from 5000 tons of beets. This is about
twice as large a field as that of 1895,
ard nearly three times as great as that
of 1894. At the same time the number
of farmers who have cultivated beets
has increased with like rapidity. In
1894 only about 500, and in 1895, 1900
engaged in the business, but the pres
ent year the number reached about
2,0C0. The average yield has been about
IL tons of beets to the acre, and the
price per ton has ranged from four to
seven uOlldfS. ne latter CURE was
paid for beets that contained the re-
markably high per cent. of 20; the lower
price was given for those that graded
only 12 per cent. of sugar. The amounts
received by the growers ranged from
S44 to SIT per acre. The average amount
of beets grown by each farmer was
only about 81 tons, showing that less
than four acres were planted, on the
average. But the profit from this small
urea was from $3.50 to S2OO-more, prob
ably, than that derived from all the re-
mander of the farm.
1t is an interesting fact that in all
the foreign sugar-beet growing coun-
tries, including France, Germany and
Russia, this industry is steadily increas-
ing. In the last-named country the in
crease last year was nearly 20 per cent.
over the amount grown in previous
years. The subject is certainly well
worthy of consideration by our farm
