HE is JUST ADVERTISING.
Method of Interesting the Pubic Adopted
by n Railroad.

Those who for the last few days have
seen n man dressed as farmer circulat-
ing through the business districts of
Chicago, with a gripsaclS and every ap-
pearance of the regulation ''yap, must
not think they are gazing on the relics
of blasted political hope. They must
not think that the man is, fguratively
speaking, 'eating crow" or paying an
election bet. Middle-of-the road popu-
lists need not shed sympathetic tears
for the fellow in the belief that he is
one of their unfortunate brethren who
went against it" too hard.
AS matter of fact, the farmer is not
a farmer, but shrewd man of business
who has advanced ideas of advertising.
The farmer" wears n faded stiff hat
which at one time was brown. He is
dressed in pantaloons which strike him
at about the shin bone and expose his
high boot legs. A sun-bleached blue
coat hangs over his shoulders like a
dress suit on a scarecrow, and in his
hand the man carries yellow valise
which would dissolve in rainstorm.
On the valsc is an advertisement for
one of the big railway lines.

SUGAR BEET CULTURE.
Nebraska Farmers Are Making the Crop
Pay Fairly Wen.

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 it not be made profitable
in other grain-growing states? 1t is
an 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 ONnard factories is expect
ed to reach total of 100000 pounds
from $4,000 tons of beets. This is about
twice as large a field as that of 1925,
and 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
1864 only about 500. and in 1895, 1900
engaged in the business, but the pres
ent year the number reached about
2,OG0. The average yield has been about
IL tons of beets to the acre, and the
price per ton has ranged from four to
seven dollars. The latter i.gurc 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
$44 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
area was from $3.50 to $200-more, prob
ably, than that derived from all the re-
mainder 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 iast-named country the in
crease last year was nearly 20 per cent.
over the amount grown in prev GUS
years. The subject is certainly we'll
worthy of consideration by our farm
ers.-lndiana Farmer.

ABOUT CORN eoppER.
Some Valuable Hints About shredding,
Storing and Flooding.

Storing and Feeding.
Combined corn huskers and fodder
cutters or shredders were used to q linn
tied extent in this section of country
some years since, but / think none are
used now. Imperfections in material,
workmanship, and in principle of con-
Btruction, as then made, and the ex-
pense of operating, will account for
their failure to obtain foothold
nmong the labor-saving machines of
ouI country. All except the last of
these objections have been overcome in
the latter machines, which are now be-
fore the public.
For several years past all the shred
ding that has been done in this section
has been with the common small-grain
thresher-mostly with old machines
While they do not do the work quite as
well as the special corn machinery
now in use, the expense of purchasing
the Inter is avoided by the use of the
thresher.
AS shredder, the thresher, used
with all of the cylinder spikes and two
half-rows of concave spikes, is de-
cided success, doing the work rapidly
and well-in fact, much more of sue
cess than as shelter and cleaner OF
the grain, which usually is left some
what broken and not clean enough for
market, though in good condition for
feeding purposes. If, however, the
ground has been wet and is frozen when
the threshing is done, causing the earth

Lands In Wiacnnain

The lands, particularly in the northern part
of Wisconsin, are being rapidly taken up
by actual settlers.
The most salable are the timber and
meadow lands now ranging in price from
$500 to Sl2.C0 per acre. A few months
hence their value will be greatly increased.
For a home or for investment no luclSicr
chance in the West has ever before been
offered. Now is the time to invest. No
better farming land exists anywhere. No
greater results can be obtained anywhere.
Schools and churches abound everywhere.

How to Dig a Farm Well.

Before digging well it is we'll to
look and see what kind of trees are
growing near it. Locust trees will send
their roots distance of Is to 20 feet Tor
water, and if well is within that dis
tance they will surely get into it If the
well is walled with stones. In driven
we'll, of course, the water can only get in
at the bottom, and this is a much better
and cheaper way of putting down wells
than the old-fashioned one OF digging
out the earth by hand.

GRANT AND WASHINGTON.
Two Wonderful Serials Which "The Gen.
tury MaEazinep Has Secnred for 1897


tury Magazine" Has Secured for 1897.
One of the best friends that Gen.
Grant ever had was Horace Porter.
There tirstmeeting was at Chattanooga
in the autumn of 1868, and soon after
Gen. then Captain) Porter became a
member of Grants staff and served with
him constantly until Lees surrender.
When Grant became president Horace
Porter was made his private secretary,
and until Gen. Grant breathed his last
at Mount McGregor the two men were
close friends. Nor did Gen. Porter's
love for his chief cease with his death,
forto him sduc the success of the move
11icnt to raise the half million of dollars
which the Grant monument in River
side park will cost. The Inauguration
of the tomb will take place next spring
on Grants birthday, and Gen. Porter
will be the orator of the OCCASION.
During these years of intimacy with
Grant Gen. Porter kept diary, and in
his moments of leisure he has arranged
his unique stories of anecdotes and
memoranda into a series of twelve ar
ticles, entitled campaigning with
Grant," and The Century Magazine
has secured all rights in the series and
will print it during the coming year.
Since the famous Century War
Series," for which Gen. Grant himself
wrote -four articles (the beginning of
his "Memoirs'), no magazine has had
such treat to lay before its readers.
Another great serial in The Cen
tury is q novel of the, American Revo-
luton, written by the well-known Phil
adelphia physician, DR.. S. Wier Mitch
ell, whose literary reputation is as high
as his standing in his own profession.
The story is supposed to be the auto
biography of The hero, ''Hugh Wynne,
Free Quaker" who becomes an officer
on Gen. Washing toms staff. Social life
in the capital, Philadelphia, is most in
terestingly depicted, and the characters
in the story include Washington,
Franklin and Lafayette. The readers of
Hugh Wynne, the Free Quaker" will
obtain a clearer idea of the Revolution
airy War than can be had from any
other single source. 1t is believed that
DIR. Mitchell has written "the great

been waiting SO many years.
These are only two of the features of
The Century for the coming year-the
magazine that leads the world of pc
riodical literature. Very few of our
readers will be without it in 1897. 1t
costs $500 a year, not too high price
for what The Century gives, but
many people are arranging to club
together in groups of four, paying
one dollar each, and securing the
reading of the magazine one week
in the month. The publishers advise
the making up of clubs early. Send
S4Oo to The Century Company, Union
square, New York, with the name of
the person to whom the magazine
is to be sent. If you begin your
subscription with the December Christ
mas) number, the publishers will send
yon copy of November free, in which
the two great serials begin.
