women and Marriage Privileges.

Few people are aware that in two coun-
tries at least laws have been passed giving
women the right TO propose marriage.
In case of refusal to accept the hand OF
the suitor heavy fine was imposed upon
the unfortunate man. Among the an
cient records of Scotland searcher has
recently discovered an act of Scottish
parliament, passed in the year 1888,
which reads as follows: 1T is statut
and ordant that during the rein of his
msst blissit Begeste, Tx for the yeare
knowne as lepe yeare, ilk mayden Iayde
of both highe and lowe estat shalt haze

ane dundis or less, as his estat may be ;
except and avis gif he can make it APP
peare that he is betrothit ane ither woman

a similar law was passed in France and
received the approval OF the king. 1t is
also said that before Columbus sailed on
his famous voyage similar privilege
was granted to the maidens of Genoa and
Florence. There is no record of any fines
imposed under the Scotch law or trace of
statistics of the number OF spnsters who
took advantage of it or the French

OUR FARMERS.
4 BEET SUGAR FACTORY IN
NEW YORK.

It is located in Rome, n. Y. Nearly
thousand farmers are concerned in
it, each raising beets and agreeing to
tske his first years pay ga tom IN
stock. The company is capitalized at
S3OO,OO The machinery was bought
in Canada from factory which could
not be made to pay because the soil
where it was located would not pro-
duce beets containing over or per
cent of sugar. Beets grown IN New
York have been analysed and found
to contain from Is to Is per cent of
saccharine matter The company ex-
pect to handle about 10000 tons this
year. This process is simple and
quick. White graduated sugar, re-
sembling cane sugar in every respect,
can be turned out in "a hours. About
half tne product is made into white
sugar; the other half comes out in the
form of brown sugar. The refuse,
mixed with molasses and pressed into
bricks, makes good cattle feed.
About 100 hands are employed in the
factory. Two Frenchmen manage the
mechanical and process work. There
are also eight chemists and five French
experts employed. 1t has been found
that where u per cent of sugar is OBJ
tanned, the business is profitable to
both the grower and the manufac-
turer; when Is per cent is obtained,
the profits become enormous. There
is no danger Of Quitting the market.
This country imports nearly $90,00O,-
900 worth of sugar every year. The
New York farmers expect to make
great success of this industry. Be-
sides the 81 per ton which they re-
ceive for their beets, the state pays
them bounty Of 81 per ton.

THE COUNTRY PAPER.

The least understood. and perhaps
the least appreciated publication is
the newspaper published in the small
er towns. Their field is necessarily cir
cumscribed, but whilst this is true,
their influence is concentrated.
They are to use the street phrase,
''the whole thing" to their respective
communities. In their columns only
| appears the three notices, of birth,
marriage and death, which form the
record of most lives. In these papers
are found the business, church and
social announcements of the town.
It's politics are gospel and It's personal
column the delight of the household.
In short, the home printed paper of
the village is the one publication
which isread discussed and sometimes
cussed by all classes. If you should
wish TO create riot just say some
thing about the town or community
of dlsparaging nature, and if you
wish to reach the rural population,
do not rush off thousand miles in
an opposite direction to find some
medium which, by reason of it's
being named the farmers paper is
supposed to reach the farmers, in
order to reach the people Of the
rural districts. These people can be
much more effectively reached and
Influenced through the medium of the
local paper Of each community.
Everybody takes and reads the
local paper whilst only an occasional
farmer reads a farm journal.-Er-

A MISLEADING SIGN.

Whenever the elder Sothern arrived
at town, one of his first means of di-
version was to stroll about the streets
and have fun with the natives.
He was in Chicago during his early
days, and one day he saw a sign over
an undertaker's establishment which
read, "Eyerything furnished for first
class funerals
Going inside, he inquired:
"Do you furnish everything for flu
nerals?"

''Then I want a casket."
He described the kind, and the or

"Do you want carriages?"

Eyes, sir. Anything else?"
HThree dozen chairs"
Anything else?"
"You might have hearse ready"
els that alp"
"Why, no; you couldn't have flu
neral with only carriages, hearse and
casket. Now I would like to look at
the corpse?"
"Like to look at the corpse? I don't
understand"
''I want to see what kind of corpse
you can furnish and know what the
price will be.''
The clerk was amazed.
"You advertise to furnish every
thing for a funeral, don't your" said
Sothern. "Well, you can't have flu
neral without a corpse"
The sign had been altered when
Sothern passed the following day.

AMOUNT OF SEED PER ACRE.

The old rule for wheat seeding was
was when the grain was soWn by hand.
After farmers began to drill wheat
the amount of seed was generally de-
creased. One bushel and a half of
wheat drilled in gave more even
and better stand than the larger
amount sown by hand. But as the
drill deposited the grain in hollows,
between ridges made by the tubes,
many farmers thought that the seed
was too crowded in these narrow
rows, and diminished the amount still
more. This was often done when
phosphate was drilled in with the
seed. Five pecks of wheat per acre
of large grains, thoroughly dried, was
thought by many to be equal if drilled
phosphate to two bushels soWn by
hand Much depends on the charac-
ter of seed. AS grain is often left in
bins while damp, it heats so that its
vitality is impaired. Much Of this
heated seed wheat fails to terminate.
What does grow does not make SO
strong and vigorous a plant as it
should. This wasted seed is by far
the most expensive kind of fertilizer
If even q bushel Of sound, we'll
dried wheat is sown per acre and
properly fortified, it may be made to
produce as large crop as greater
amount Of seed could do.-EcchGnge.

A certain DR.. Keate, who was head

characteristic instance occurred when
a very popular boy, named Munro, was
dismissed from school for refusing to
be logged. AT the next absence"
when bis name was omitted from the
roll call, his friends set up a shout of
"Munrol Munroi Booi bool'' In
punishment for this they were told to
come daily to an extra absence. This
they decided not to do, and also de
termined not to be fiogged for it. Keate
very craftily waited until after 'lock-
up" when the boys We're scattered in
the various boarding houses, and then
sent the assistant masters to fetch
them for punishment in relays. Some
of the boys tried to organize resistance
by shouting from the windows: Don't
be fioggedi We haven't been f1oggedl"
but the relays kept coming in to Keate
until after midnight, and all but two of
the boys were fiogged-over eighty in
