The agricultural editor of the Port
land (Me.) Express thus answers a
correspondent who wanted to know
how to keep his neighbor's hens out
of his gardens Dear Correspondent:
Take a lot of small, stiff cards, about
l by 2 inches; write on them: Please
keep your darned old hens at home;
Tie a short string to each card, with
a grain of corn at the other end of the
string, and scatter them where the
hens congregate. When the hungry
biddy gobbles up the grain that draws
the prize, she follows up the string,
slowing it away until she comes to the
card. Then you will see her pull out
for home, carrying in her mouth your
polite request.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
has placed in service on the part OF
the middle division between Bruins
wick and Cumberland thirty-six OF
the finest and largest freight engines
yet built. Where year ago an engine
rarely haudled west over thirty-hve
empty cars, these engines haul sixty
six, and east bound the relative gain
is greater, as these engines haul be-
tween fifty and sixty loaded cars, as
against twenty-five and thirty, with
the engines formerly in service on this
division. One engine now hauls a
thousand ton of coal between Cumber-
land and Baltimore.

At Hymen's Altar.

Al hymenS Anal.
Mrs. Mollie E. Butler, widow of
DR.. II. Lane Butler, was married to
Mr.. Robert Gibson, the well-known
young druggist, last night at 7 o'clock
in Trinity Episcopal Church, shep-
herdstown. The church was crowded
to its utmost capacity, even the aisles
being filled with persons standing. AT
the very minute set for the ceremony
the organ sounded the wedding march
from Lohengrin, Miss Agnes Beltz-
hoover playing it most skillfully. The
groom and his best man, who was his
brother, Mr.. Hopkins Gibson, of Wash
ington, appeared from the vestry-
room and at the chancel rail awaited
the coming of the bridal party, which
appeared at the opposite end of the
church. The procession was led by
Mr.. Hood Waters, of Baltimore, and
Mr.. T. B. Line, of Shepherdstown, the
ushers Hon. B. D. Gibson, of Charles
town, the third usher, followed, and
leaning upon his arm was Miss Laura
Butler, daughter of the bride and her
maid of honor last came the bride
and her daughter, Miss Nellie Butler.
The bride and groom presented them
selves before the rector, Rev. DR.. VIM.
H. Nelson, kneeling first upon white
satin cushions for brief prayer. Then,
standing upon a rug of white chrys-
anthemums and autumn leaves, the
couple were made husband and wife
in accordance with the ritual of the
Episcopal Church. The organist played
softly during the ceremony, and as
the bridal procession turned to leave
the chancel, led by the newly-married
couple, Mandelssohn's wedding march
sounded forth in full tones. In a
minute or two the procession reached
the door and the wedding was over.
The bride was handsomely attired
in a rich-looking dress Of petunia and
gold satin trimmed in point lace, and
she wore small bonnet of white and
gold. She carried in her hand a
white satin book of prayer, the gift of
the groom's aunt, Miss Julia Grove.
Miss Laura Butler, maid Of honor,
was dressed in light-blue organdie,
and carried yellow roses. Miss Mel
lie Butler, who attended her mother,
wore white organdie, and carried
pink roses. The gentlemen were all
attired in full dress.
The church was exquisitely decora-
ted, the work Of Miss Julia Grove and
her friends. White chrysanthemums
were chiefly used, and the chancel
was scene of rare beauty. Hand
some ferns added to the arrangement,
and many candles in lovely candala-
bra shed their soft glow with beauti-
full effect. Soon after the conclusion
of the ceremony the bride and groom
drove to Shenandoah Junction, where
they took the nine o'clock train for
Baltimore.
The bride received about one hun
dred and seventy-fve presents.
Friends in Baltimore, her former
home, sent some exceedingly hand
some things in cut-glass and silver,
while rare old china and family heir
looms were gifts from the groom S rel
atives. The friends Of the couple
from Shepherdstown also contributed
manv useful and ornamental articles
all together making a rich and at
tractive display. We extend our con-
gratulations to Mr.. and Mrs. Gibson,
and wish for them long continued
happiness.

The Advance in Cattle.

The creates, activity prevails now in
the cattle industry. For more than
twelve months the shortage in bovine
stock has been apparent. The abnnd-
ance OF cheap corn has caused an abnor-
nal advance in the price of feeders.
Wherever there is corn there is an unus-
ual call for such feeders. The supply is
further diminished by the reported death
of large numbers OF stock in the northern
ranch regions. One firm alone is report
ed to have lost over 5000 head OF cattle
by the storms.
Throughout the west and southwest
advancing values for grazing cattle are
reported. The gradual revival OF indus
tries throughout the east and the central
west will cause an Increased dem and for
all grades OF meat. Beef is preferred to
ali others us rule and this condition
will have the effect of maintaining good
values in beef products. People who
have cows are therefore warranted in ex-
pecting good demand for the produce Of
such stock and careful attention to breed
ing, feeding and management is in order
for this season especially.-Field, Farm

The beet sugar industry is inst now
coming into special prominence and the
action of congress on the tariff bill may
give it yet more interest to the public.
Should duty OF x or 2 cents be i'm
posed on raw sugar an immediate i'm
pulse would be given to the growing OF
sugar beets. The U. S. government is
taking active steps to test the adnptabil-
ity of various parts of the country to the
growth of sugar beets. Should the pro-
posed protective tariff be enacted the
Arkansas valley should reap large bene-
fits therefrom. The experiments made
in the Rocky Ford country prove conclu-
sively that We can grow a large tonnage
Of sugar beets to the acre and govern
ment analyses have proven that the per-
centage OF saccharine matter is rs high
us in beets grown in the most favored To-
calities where beet sugar factories are To-
Gated. In the near future it will doubt
less be the duty Of our people to perfect
one more organization-an association to
secure the location OF a beet sugar fac
tory. No other place in Colorado offers
so great advantages for such an industry
us does Rocky Ford. Here is the great-
est extent Of land adapted to beet culture
watered by the most extensive irrigation
system IN the state Eight canals water
the lands which would be tributary to
such beet sugar factory. Systematic
efforts should be made to attract the at
tention OF capitalists to the unqeualled
advantages which the Rocky Ford conn
try offers for the manufacture OF beet
sugar.

out of red heart watermelons. and some

BEET SUGAR.
Valuable Information in n Report
Issued by the Agricultural
Department.


There Is much information for those
identified with sugar interests in report
just issued by the agricultural depart
ment on the sugar beet. In reference to
factories reporting in Germany the mean
net profit for each factory was S32. 2.240 for
the past year. The price reported paid
for beets is usually fictitious, the beet
growers owning the factory and preferr-
ing to share in the general profits rather
then to charge high price for the beets.
First -class beets rarely sell for less than
So ton.
The Western Beet Sugar company OF
Watsonville, Calf, stated that III the
season OF 1SSS-S9 the cost OF manufacture
ing the sugar from the beets amounted
to SS0.S0 periton OF sugar. The depart
ment holds now that with the best ma
chinery and most economical process beet
sugar can be made in tins country mt
cost of IRON 3 to 4 cents pound when
the price OF rich bcets does not exceed S5
a ton.
From reliable data it is stated that in
Europe the cost OF erecting n factory
with the most modern machinery with n
capacity of Mt least 300 tons Of bee;s per
day is about S200.000. In this country,
owing to Increased cost OF transportation
and the higher price OF labor, the cost
probably would be s250,000. The report
discountenances cheap manufacturing
processes and holds out no reasonable
hope to farmers OF establishing n home
beet sugar factory, but predicts that the
co operative factory methods practiced
in Europe in which beet growing farm
ers hold part or majority OF the stock,
will eventually come into use here. or
1l,612.SlG metric tons OF beets sent to the
German factories in 1886. there were
2,6SJ.OOO tons grown by shareholders.
Seven beet sugar factories are now
shown to be in operation in this country
and four others are building or contem-
plated.

ton for twenty-three years has been %

Sold $40 Acres of Melons
to one Denver House.

Rocky FORD is truly great
water melon center. While
Georgia exceeds us in quantity
shipped. Rocky Ford leads in
quality. But Rocky Ford's glory
in the watermelon line is suscep-
tible of ,exaggeration.. On the BLY,
Saturday we heard story that
sounded fishy. We have never
heard Swink, or Conner, or Potter,
or Swift speak of the incident and
it must be untrue. AS usual when
the Santa Fe trains pass Rocky
Ford half of the passengers, be
they from Boston or California,
have a knowledge of Rocky Ford
as the great watermelon town.
This knowing half proceeds to in
struct the tenderfoot half on the
fame of Rocky Ford. Last Satur-
day one passenger who knew all
about the Ford and its products
was telling his seat companion of
immense fertility Of the valley.
A few years ago, he said, n Denver
grocery house made contract
with a man named Swink for all
the melons he could grow on 320
acres. When the time came for
shipment the Denver party was
forced to send down many trains
to carry away the thousands of tons
of luscious sweetness. The Den.
yer house was fairly buried under
n perfect landslide of watermelons,
and their bank account paralyzed
by the payment of freight bills.
But another year the Denver men
knew better than to agree to take
all the melons that man named
Swink could raise on 320 acres.
This story being told within the
corporate limits of Rocky Ford
there is no knowing what marvel
Gus tales may be ahoat in the
gold bug east or on the Pacific
slope.
