SUGAR BEET GROWING.

COuuty III mubourb
COLUMBIA, NO.. Nov. 1.-Prof. II. ].
Waters, director Of the Missouri agri.
cultural experiment station, and DR..
Paul Schwartzer, chemist, have been
for several weeks analyzlng specimens
OF beets from every county in the state,
and Saturday night they gave out
the result. Prof. Waters said while
the per cent Of sugar was larger than
expected he was not prepared TO state
whether the manufacture Of sugar
from the Missouri beet would be sue
cess. Fifty-three samples out Of 1874
have shown per cent that would be
profitable for manufacturing purposes,
but some Of the most fertile counties
have sent samples showing very low
per cent. Of sugar. This may be due
TO the fact that the beets grew too
large under the cultivation followed
by the experimenters.

What 1t Costs to Maintain the Famous
Sport.
A year or two ago, says the editor Of
London Truth, took up the matter Of
the royal buckhounds, for have always
thought that anything with less Of the
redeeming feature of sport than to cart
tame deer to some spot, turn it out,
hunt it with dogs, and, having hunted
it down, put it back in its cart for am
other days ''sport" cannot well be con-
ceived When l was engaged ia this
crusade, I received many letters assur-
ing me that the deer like being pursued
by dogs, although how the animals con-
veyed their singular idea Of pleasure 10
the writers of the letters was not ex-
planned to me. Now that the bishops
have joined the crusade, we may hope
that the cruel tomfoolery of this royal
hunt will soon cease.
The country pays the costs. The sal
ary Of the master of the buckhounds
(e1, 200 per alanum) is always enjoyed
by a nobleman, tho occupant Of the post
changing with change of ministers.
Besides this there are salaries to hunts
men, whips aud others, the purchase
and keep Of horses and hounds, etc. /
should suppose that the total outlay
must be about e3. 900 per annum. This
is betrayed, it is true, from the civil
list. But when the amount needed to
maintain the sovereign was investigated
in order to arrive at the total necessary.
this expenditure was included in the
estimate.
1t is suggested by the bishops that the
quarry should cease to he deer and
should henceforward be n red herring.
But the idea, as an attribute of majesty,
of the sovereign keeping alotof dogs to
run after red herring is childish.
