the Railroad Commissioners.
DIES MONIES, Oct. 2T.--The supreme
court has decided that the railroad

causeways which, though announcement
because gates have.to be opened. still
serve all the purposes which come

The population of France now
amounts to 3S,22s, 1853 persons, as COM
pared with 3S.o95,150 at the last census
uss1). This very slight increase is al
most entirely due to the increase of
the urban centers. Twenty-four de-
partments show an increase and sixty
three departments a diminution Of the
population; but there are cases where
there is a falling of. taking the de-
partment as whole, while the num-
bers in certain towns or industrial cen
tiers in these departments have risen.
In five years there has only been an
increase in the population of France OF
123, Sl9 persons. and the increase. ac-
cordng to all appearances, is chiefly
attributable to immigration.

Results of Eight Years Experiments
Presented,

Presented.
Chicago dispatch: Orange Judd
Farmer, of Chicago, publishes the
results of eight years experiments in
sugar beet culture. all over Minnesota,
prepared by Prof. Snyder, of the Min
ncsota Experiment Station The
article shows that Minnesota produces
an average Of Is tons per acre Of beets
richer in sugar contents than is the
case in Europe, where the industry is
remarkably developed. The sugar is
also of a high degree of purity. 1t
also appears from these elaborate,
extensive and long continued exper-
iments that the cost of raising sugar
beets in Minnesota is from So to SO
per ton. Orange Judd Farmer points
out that If sugar factories are estab-
lished to buy these beets at 81 to SIS
per ton, farmers can make $1.5O to
81. so per ton net profit. AT less than
the average yield of fifteen tons of
dressed beets per acre, this industry
opens upa home market for a new

a fair price for all labor on the crop,

results have been obtained in Wiscon-
sin and the northwest generally.
Director Wilson, of the Iowa Exper-
iment Station, says that only capital
and skill are necessary for that state
alone to produce all of the 100000, 900
worth of sugar now imported every
year.
