SUGAR BEET CULTURE
IN ARKANSAS.

Hamburg, Ark, March 90
j. J. Dean, Of this place, is
planting a small area of his
plantation on Bayou Bartholn
NEW in sugar beets. He will
roake a careful experiment,
with a view to determining
whether or not the beets can be-
successfully and probably
grown in this latitude. The
land used is a rich ioamy soil +,
and those conversant with su-
gar beet culture say that beets
having II per Cent saccharlne
matter, the necessary percent
age to insure a profit, can be
raised upon it. The experiment
will be watched with interest,
and successful outcome will
result iii The establishing OF
scores of sugar beet farms up

Wanted to STAY in Jail.

Recently Sheriff Kinney of Carson
informed a Chinese who had been in
Jail fifty days for selling whisky to
Indians that his time was up. The
poor fellows jaw dropped nearly a
foot when this intelligence was com
~mrnicated. He was having a very
nice time in jail with a sure bed, and
three positive meals a day. The idea
of being thrown out on the street with
a hot summer coming Oh a. anything
but pleasant. He began to argue with
the iailor that there was some mistake
about the time, and that he had three
more days coming.
The sheriff wouldn't listen to him
and, taking him by the arm, led him
out into the street. The poor fellow
argued and begged and pleaded for a
few more days, but the sheriff was in
exorable and told him to get out. He
told the sheriff OF a lot OF crimes he
had committed that ought to land him
in the lookup for years and still the
sheriff refused to let him stay in jail
another hour. When last seen he was
headed for Chinatown weeping like a
child.-Carson New Appeal.

1--WE recently bought some bran to
feed in connection with corn, relates
The E%pitomist, Though we felt We
could ill-afford to do 50, for, at pres
ent prices, it takes nearly threepounds
of ORR to buy n of bran. Mean
while, Germany isimporting American
bran to feed to stock, and Britain has
purchased a shipload OF American
corn to plant in India, with a view to
raising a crop to supply food for the
furnishing. To a man outside the
query comes: "Why don't the Kaiser
buy our cheap corn instead Of our
high-priced bran, and why don't Eng

supply for the more immediate relief

The benefit done to agriculture by
parasite insects is clearly shown by
the case Of the reduction in numbers
Of the tussock caterpillar which ap-
peared in extraordinary quantities on
the trees in the streets of Washing
ton, d. c., in 1895. The next sum-
mer they were entirely harmless, 50
few appeared. This was caused by
the attacks of thirty-seven species of
ichneumons and Tachina flies. 1t is
these internal parasites which preserve
the balance of nature; for which in
certain years noxious insects may I'M
duly abound, they serve as a focus of
attack for these parasites, which either
prevent their increase or actually re-
duce their numbers to moderate
limits.

With the return of better times will

sharpers are the promoters. While
we would not place a straw in the
way Of any legitimate enterprise, we
deem it a duty to caution our readers
against attempting to enter prosperity
over the wreck-strewn boom-road
where high speed is promised, with no
film between the ties and the Gull
verts washed out. Well ballasted
roads are safer, and the trains usually

Slams Elephants.

An English newspaper in an article
on the Siamese army, says: "In one
respect the Siamese army is superior
to every other, and that is in it's ele-
plant corps. Eight hundred of these
animals, which are stronger, though
smaller, than those Of India, are or
ganized into a special corps, COM
manded by a retired Anglo-Indian Off
Ger, and their heads, trunks and other
vulnerable parts are protected against
bullets by India rubber armor." One
advantage in this armor is that it is i'm
possible to distinguish it from the
skin it covers.

The Engineering and Mining journal
says: The opening of a new coal field
In Great Britain is a matter of con-
siderable Importance to that country.
It might be supposed that the coal
measures of that country had been
pretty thoroughly explored, and that
it's were fully known, but
the discoveries now made show that at
least one field of some extent was left.
The new workings are in Kent, in the
extreme southern part Of England,
bordering on the channel, which sepa-
rates the island from France. Geo
logists have long asserted the probable
existence. of coal there, but it is only
a short time since actual exploration
work was begun. The shafts sunk
have now reached APPOINT where the
existence Of workable coal measures is
proved, and it is believed that the
9 mines will furnish a desirable adj
dition to the coal supply of the coun-
try. The nature of the coal and the
geological conditions indicate that it
is probably a continuation of the
seams which are extensively worked
in the basin of the Pas-du-Calais, in
northerneFrance. The Kent coal is
nearer London than that Of any other
district, and that fact viii give the
mines an advantage in supplying the
market of the city, since the question
Of freights is euen more important
