belonged to an early and an unset

Beet Sugar Factories

An especial advantage to locality
in which the culture OF sugar beets
is established lies in the necessity OF
the factory in the vicinity. The
bulk and weight of the raw material
are so great in proportion to value
that transport alton to any consider
able distance is out OF the question.
Cotton, wool, silk, fax and other
raw material of textiles may be
transported at small cost to cities
distant from the locality of their
growth, and there converted into
the merchantable form. The local
ity in which the fiber is grown re-
ceives the raw material price, the
cost OF manufacture being distribut-
ed elsewhere. About one-third Of
our cotton crop is made into cloth
in England. The beet.sugar factory
must OF necessity be established
close by the beet fields. Each
factory gives employment to hun
dreds of people, who become con-
sumers Of other products OF neigh
boring farms. The United States
consumed in the year 1896, 1876 44
tons OF sugar. In the same year we
imported 1,S04,866 tons of sugar.
The cane sugar produced in Louisi-
ana was 355,413 tons, and 926S tons
OF cane sugar were produced in
other States. There were but about
10000 tons OF beet sugar produced
in the whole country. A noticeable
fact in the sugar trade is that very
large part Of our imports come from
Germany, country by nature less
adapted to the growth OF sugar beets
than the United States. During this
year farmers of the United States
were sending their wheat to Liver
pool and selling it at less than the
cost OF production. How much more
proftably our farmers would have
been engaged il they had produced
the sugar they imported from Ger
manyl OF course, our American
farmers could not compete with
German beet-sugar producers with
out protection in some form. The
Mckinley tariff gave a bounty of
$40 ton. This rate was fixed as the
the equivalent OF the duties which
the Mckinley tariff repealed in the
interest OF the free breakfast table.
Coffee and tea being already on the
free list, the removal of the duties
on sugar relieved the breakfast table
from any form of taxation. The
small ad valorem duty on sugar
under the Wilson-Gorman tariff
hardly covers the German bounty
on exports, leaving the German pro-
duSCi al oNOu ioSo WIFI Uu6 "A ulPr-
lean for the American market. At
$50 per ton the sugar imports of last
year would amount to S1O8, 29l, 1850.
Under a wise policy of protection
this amount might be distributed
among the farmers and beet-sugar
factories in the United States.
Every dollar would be distributed
in farming communities. California
would not send its beets to New
as it does its hides, to be
converted into merchantab form.
The factory would be located in
sight of the farm and the entire
proceeds Of the industry would go
70 the enrichment OF farming COM
nunities.-S f.. Bulletin.

A CAPTAINS HERoIsM.
A Tale of British Pluck in West
Africa.

n
Africa.
Capt. Bower, the British resident
at Ibadap, who was seriously injured
sometime ago by the explosion OF
rocket, has arrived by the r. M. S.
Benny from West Africa. The
story OF the accident shows that
Capt. Bower displayed remarkable
bravery, and probably saved the
colony from a descent by the war
like Ilorins. One OF the Housa
troops had carelessly set fire to the
mems quarters. Seeing that the
magazine was in danger, Captain
Bower climbed on to the top of the
houses and began to tear off the
roofs in order to prevent the flames
from spreading. He was, however,
unsuccessful, and in a very few
minutes there was a general STAN
pede. Capt. Bower at this critical
moment
DASHED INTO THE MAGAZINE
and brought out shells, rockets, car
tridges and powder, and succeeded
in saving the only Maxim gun which
was in the place. One other house,
which was used as prison, con-
tanned at the time one prisoner, who
had been tied to the wall OF the
building, which was quite open.
Captain Bower rushed in to try and
save him. He had, however, no
knife, aud could not cut the ropes
which bound him. Twice the officer
went in to try and save the man,
but the burning roof falling in the
man was burned to death. Only a
few miles off an army Of HORNS was
encamped, and fearing that they
might attack the British at Ogobo-
moso il they thought the fire had
destroyed the ammunition, Captain
Bower next day set about testing
the cartridges, shells, rockets, cts,
which he had recovered from the
magazine. He had almost finish I'D
the task when one of the rockets ex-
ploded. He was struck on the knee,
the bone OF which was laid bare,
while two of his fingers we're left
hanging by the skin,-The People.

HELPING Il BASRFUL LOVER.

1t was tWO-rOomed log cabin, and
after supper Mrs. Coots and l sat
down in the front room and left her
daughter Sue, girl about IS years
old, to clear away and tidy up.
She had just finished when young
man slipped into the kitchen. His
headgear was a coonskin cap, the
bottom of his trousers were tucked
into his boot legs, and he was awk-
ward and ungainly. as a cow on ice.
ssHowdy, Joe?' saluted the girl, as
he entered.
"How-howdy?" he replied, as he
sat down on the edge of a chair and
fumbled with his cap.
''That's her beau,' whispered Mrs.
Coots to me, over her knitting. "Joe's
pert huff, but powerfully shy. Bin
coting Sue for nigh year now, but
haint dun axed her to marry him.
The girl took the seat on the far
side of the room, and for ten minutes
not word was spoken between them.
Then she finally queried:
elbows bars, .Joe?"
''Hain't seen bar in three
MONTHS" he replied.
There wa1 another painful interval,
and then Sue asked:
Elbows coons, Joe?"
"Coons is plenty" he replied, as he
avoided her glance.
''That's the way it goes" whispered
the mother. "They jist sot and sot
and talk bout bars and coons and
SIGH, and I do declar' Pm gittin' all
upsot!"
Five minutes later, just as the
young man seemed on the point of
leaving, Sue kindly inquired:
"Killed any 'possums lately, Joe?"
'sNary one,'' he replied, as he star
ed at his boots.
~ can't abide that no MORE" NUT
tered the mother, as she laid aside
her work and arose.
"What are you going to do?" ask
ed.
s'Get 'em together or skeer him
off,"
She walked out into the kitchen and
stood before the young man, and
sternly demanded:
"Joe Skillman, did yo dun cum over
we're to borrow an ax?"
emo, mum, he suffered.
'Did you cum to cote Sue?"
"Y-yes, num-"
"Sue, do you want to be coted?'
"Reckon do" answered Sue.
'HThen 20 all jist listen to me. Joe,
20 git over on t'other side. Sue, y
snuggle up to him. I'se gwine to
blow out the candle and leave 20 in

gwine to sot on the fur side of t'other
room and talk loud. Pse got mighty
tired of this fussin' round, and 20 all
has either got to fix or unfix things
this very night"
An hour later, when Joe went home
Sue called her mother out and held
whispered conversation with her, and
when Mrs. COots returned to me, she
smiled grimly and explained:
ssThey all are gwine to be married
next week."

A large and rapidly increasing class
of cratic farmers are continually
changing their lines. Dissatisfied
with the reduced income derived
from the pursuit of we'll chosen and
familiar lines, they hope to better
their condition by entering upon new
and untried branches of horticulture
or agriculture; only to meet with dis
appointment and loss. Their failure
unhappily is usually coupled with the
serious injury done to the vocation of
their stable neighbor by breaking
down business hitherto profitable

the many.-Ohio Farmer.

T-.EED BYA MONSTER BOAR.

Hon. Theodore Roosevelt OF New
York is fond of talking ABOUT his ex-
periences in California, and during
one of of these variations he said:
i ''The most exciting and risky hunt
ing on the Pacific coast today is
among the wild hogs, down on the
bottom lands of the Colorado river,
nifty or sixty miles south of the old
town of Yuma. A party of US were
down there last year, AM L believe
we had adventures enough to thrill
our sportsmen friends for full gen
Grafton.
A great many hunters in California
1ndorse every word of Commissioner
Roosevelt's opinion, and no hunting
ground for big game is probably be-
coming more popular than this ia the
winter time, when the climate along
the lazy, muddy Colorado river is lAe
that of July in the eastern States.
Two years ago an experienced
sportsman from Southern Illinois was
spending the winter in Yuma. He had
pair of very fine staghounds, which
the owner claimed could run down
and kill any wild hog along the Colo
RADIO river. One day he took his dogs
and rifle and went down the river tor
nice little boar, just right for the
oven. He had not gone thirty miles
and landing, before he found a band
of hogs and little pigs, and turned his
dogs loose on them when out of the
tules near by jumped an enormous
boar, monster, who, with mouth
wide open, paying no attention to the
dogs, made for the hunter. The lat
ter drew up his rifle and fired, but on
came the boar, the dogs nipping him
at every jump.
The hunter fired a seco nd shot, but
on came the beast. The hunter turn
ed and ran for a mosquito tree a few
yards distant, the hog close to his
heels. He dropped his gun, jumped
for life, grasping a limb of the tree,
just as the hog grabbed his pants, and
tore one half Of them from him, but
he was safe, just out of reach. The
dogs all this while ran grabbing the
hog by the hind legs, to which the
beast paid no attention. The mad
boar seized the bark of the tree in his
great tusks and tore it into shreds.
Finally ne turned upon the dogs, in
stantly killing one, wounded the 9TH
er so that iG died soon alter. Then he
turned his attention to the tree where
the hunter sat. He guarded him un-
til it was dark. Twice did the man
get down and try to get his rife, but
his foe was on guard and drove him
back up the tree. During the night
the boar left. Daylight came, and 50
did help. The men had hardly reach
ed the river and got into their boat
when down came the old hog after
them in vain pursuit.
