BEET SUGAR MAKING.
Process by Which Farmers May Pro-
duce the Article.


In reply to an appeal from the Epit-
omist Publishing company of Indianap-
oils asking for some process by which
farmers may produce beet sugar at
home in q small way for their own use
Dr.. H. y. Wiley, chief chemist of the
United States department of agricul-
ture at Washington, expresses his views
as follows: The production of crude
beet sugar in a small way is an extreme
" simple process. Any farmer who is
equipped with a cider mill for rasp-
ing the beets, a cider press for express
ing the juice and an evaporation suitable
for making sorghum molasses can pro-
duce a crude beet sugar. As rule this
sugar viii not be very palatable, because
IL is not refined and contains the salts
and bitter principles which make raw
beet sugar and beet molasSes as a rule
unfit for table use. 1t will be. however,
an interesting object lesson to our
farmers to demonstrate the fact that
the sugar beet itself contains sugar, and
that the latter can be made in the crude
way I have mentioned above.
In this way the making of sugar in
a small way by farmers may prove q
stimulus 10 the industry and do great
good Farmers. however. should not
be deceived by the expectation of being
able TO make their sugar in successful
way commercially. The successful and
profitable manufacture of sugar can
only be accomplished in expensive fac
tories, equipped with all the appliances
necessary to make pure refined sugar.
Only the pure refined beet sugar can
ever become an article of commerce. In
this the beet differs from the sugar
cane, because the latter will give a
sugar which. even in the crude state, Is
palatable and marketable; in fact,
many people prefer crude cane sugar
TO the refined article on account of its
containing the aromatic principles Of
the cane, which give ii an o6or and fla
vor very acceptable to most palates ]
trust that any Of your readers who NAV
undertake the manufacture of beet
sugar in the crude way I have men
toned above may do SO only from the
point of view indicated. and net with
the expectation of making II CONNER.

Anxiety About the Prospects Of Annexa-
tiOa Universally Felt I'm HcnoIuIu-Ths
Partition OF China and the Attitude Of
Japan and Russia Over Corea-The
Armies of Each Mutually Filled with
spies
HONOLULU, Dec II, via San Fran
cisco, Dee 24.-The Mariposa arrived
from San Francisco bringing news OF
the opening of congress- Regarding
the annexation treaty, the Hawaiian
government received advices by wire
from Washington on the day the
steamer sailed, which state that the
opposition is not as strong as indicated
in the press dispatches
L A Thurston wired that the situa-
ton had not developed sufficiently &c
enable one TO arrive at u decision as 70
the course to be followed; that there Is
no present inten ton to abandon the
treaty, and the repu blican leaders are
giving the subject earnest attention
He states further that the decision as
to the course OF action would probably
await the return of the president
a number of citizens received letters
in which different views as to the
cause OF annexation were given Some
say the treaty viii go through the SEN
ate with the required two-thirds vote
Others believe there viii be a long
fight in congress, with the passage OF
a joint resolution by rOusing big ma
jority in each branch.
Commenting on the strained rela-
tions between Japan and Russia over
Corea, the Chinese papers report that
ha / j. fr1lh of
spies, disguised as japanese, and that
the Russian army is being tempered
with by japanese emissaries, who are
doing all they can to stir up disafec-
ton among them
Commenting upon kiao-Chau affairs,
the Asahi says that the action of the
Germans in having suddenly seized
kiao-Chau on the pretext of the muir
der of missionaries IS outrageous, and
that it disturbs the peace of the far
east admits OF no discussion. Japan,
near the scene of the trouble, cannot
regard the matter lightly. Sooner or
later a line of policy to be pursued to-
ward the affair must be decided The
foreign Office has therefore given in
structions to the Japanese ministers in
various foreign countries to make re-
ports concerning the matter.
Japan is indeb ted to Germany in
many ways" says the Chuga Shogyo-
Her military organization has been
copied after Germany and her consti-
tuition and local legislation are founded
on the German system. Besides in
framing the laws and adopting medi-
cal science, etc, Japan owes a debt
of gratitude TO Germany. Lastly.
Germany has now shown Japan an
other instance of her kindness That
is the seizure of kiao-Chau bay. We
need not dwell upon the particulars of
/ her kindness here, but the seizure of
kiao-Chau may give Japan the right
of a permanent possession of Wei-Hai-

They are excellent layers, averaging
from 100 to 40 eggs each in a season.
They are nonsetters, hardy, easily
raised, and the earliest in maturing of
any ducks. Other ducks are judged for
practical qualities by the Picking.
The standardized Picking has long.
fnely-formed head, bill of medium
size, of a deep yellow color. that is per-
fectly free from any mark or color
other than yellow. The color of the bill
is very important for exhibition birds,
and it is not infrequent that one of the
best ducks in a showroom is disqualified
for having a faint tracing of black in
the bill. The eyes are of deep leaden-
blue color. The neck of a Picking
should be neatly curved; in the drake
ii should be large and rather long, while
that of the duck is of medium length.
The back is long and broad; breast is
round, full, and very prominent. The
body is long and deep, and the standard
gives for adult birds a body approach
ing the outlines of a parallelogram.
The wings are short, carried closely and
smoothly against the body. The birds
cannot sustain flight, two-foot fenc-
an inclousure. The tail is erect, more
so than in any other specimen. The
curled feathers in the tail of the drake
are hard and stiff. The thighs are
short and large; shanks short and
strong. and in color are a reddish
orange; toes straight. connected by a
web, and reddish orange in color. The
plumage is downy, and of a faint
creamy white throughout. Recently
it has been noticed that preference in
the showroom is being given to birds of
whittier plumage. The breeders are Sc
lecting as their show birds those that
have the snow-white plumage instead
of the creamy white, as given in the
standard.
The standard weight of the adult
drake is pounds; adult duck. Z pounds;
young drake, pounds, and young
duck, pounds.--Bulletin United States

Dry. Comfortable Quarters Certainly
I1 the First Requisite.
To make sheep most profitable on the
ordinary farm none should be kept but
what can be sheltered comfortably and
fed so as TO keep them in thrifty con-
dition. All above this number should
be faF7ened and marketed in good sea-
son The flock kept for prost should
consist largely of young. thrifty ewes
that can be depended upon TO bring q
good lamb, as well as to grow a good
| fleece of wool. In preparing for mar
ket It VIII pay to take considerable
| pains to fatten wen. as the increase in
| price with the heavier weight win re-
turn good profit for the feed and "a.
Dor.
The time required to fatten sheep de-
| ponds considerably upon their age and
condition al the time of commencing to
feed. Old ewes that have passed their
prime require longer period of feed
ing than young, vigorous sheep that
are In thrifty condition.
In fattening old sheep it Is nearly
always best to feed ground grain, as
usually they have poor teeth.
Clover hay that has been cut in good
season, properly cured and stored away
is the best forage. Next to this is millet,
but good cornfodder and unthreshed
oats can be used TO good advantage in
| making up a variety.
Three parts corn, or cornmeal. and
one part wheat bran. to which little
oil meal has been added, makes one Of
the best rations that can be given 10 fat
tening sheep. Corn or cornmeal should
be made the principal ration. yet some
thing OF variety should be given in
order to maintain a good appetite.
Gradually increase the ration until
they are given all that they will eat
up clean. taking care at all times not 10
overfeed.
OF all stock usually kept on the farm,
| sheep are most easily and most serious
" injured by overfeeding; often they
will require four or five days to over
come the effect of one overfeed. With
care in feeding, keeping them on full
feed, with a good fattening ration,
sheep can be fatted in six weeks.
But to fatten most rapidly they must
have dry, comfortable quarters and be
kept quiet. They should be fed regular
y. have all the water they can drink
and have access to salt Have fiat-bot-
toned, shallow troughs in which TO feed
grain; these are better than the V
! shaped, for the reason that the grain
cannot be punched so easily. and each
sheep has better opportunity of secur-
ing a share. Racks or managers should
also be provided in order to avoid waste.

is quite an item to lessen the cost as
much as possible. Market as soon as
