Beet Culture in France.

The United States consul at Havrey
France, says: The beet crop pays the
farmer better than wheat or any other
agricultural product, and hence large
acreage is under beets In 1894 the
area was 100000 acres, and the pro-
duction nearly 1S,5O0,OOO tons, or near
ly II tons to the acre; so to 60 per cent
of all this is used for the production of
sugar. The experience of French Gull
tivators is stated to be that the cost OF
growing an acre of beets is e., omit
ting the cost of fertilizing, which 1t Is
not always necessary to employ. 1t is
said, too, that the leaves and stalks
left on the field will furnish much more
manure, after they have been fed to
cattle, than the beet requires. The
bounty paid on sugar exported from
Germany has led to less activity in beet
sugar production in France in the last
two years. Nevertheless, the total
quantity exported in 1894-95 was 1885,
2S7 tons, Of which 119, 1879 tons went to
England. The advantage of beet Guilt
walton is that there is no waste; every
part of the vegetable can be used in
one way or another. The pulp, after
the juice has been expressed for sugar,
is largely eaten by cattle and is found
to be very nourishing, The leaves and
stalks, when fresh, increase a cows
milk; when dry they afford excellent
winter food. Altogether, the beet
root or the residue after the juice has
been expressed supplies, with the leaves
and stalks, nourishment for cattle and
sheep more abundant, perhaps, than
any other forage that could have been
cultivated on the land" It is said
that the leaves are frequently used for
adulterating tobacco. The French ex-
perience is that all lands suitable for
growing wheat will also grow beets;
but it is necessary to avoid soil too
compact or containing too much clay.
The report enters into some detail in
the question of soils, position, manur-
ing (when necessarily, modes of culti-
walton, harvesting and preserving the
crop, and few words are added as to
the manufacture Of sugar. Something
is said, also, as to experiments being
made in France, under the authority
Of tho ministry Of commerce, for OBJ
tanning Illuminating alcohol from the
roots.

they were being bundled into the

In certain way he had his wish,

ferent, and his coffin a more spacious
one than was meant in his expression.
He died when was 7 years of age.
On dark night, during sudden and
raging storm, while helping to reef the
maintopgallant sail, he lost his hold,
and slipped into the grave Of the At

closed over him, plotting him out Of
the world forever and ever, perhaps a
vision came upon him of his wife and
child in their little cottage at Brlxton,

love; and perhaps, in the midst OF his

Prof. Haskins of Chicago was present
and spoke on educating the children on
sociological lines. He represents the
Columbia College Of Good Citizenship.
F. D. Voris spoke on the cultivation
Of the apple orchard for the first five
years. Lay off the ground and plant
the trees by November, setting them
80 or 40 feet apart, Give Minkler,
Northern Spy and the like wider space
than fruit like Grimes Golden. Plant
at a good depth, two or three inches
deeper than they stood in the nursery.
If the weather in the fall is not right,
then plant as early in the spring as pos
sible. Protect the trees against rab-
bits by wrapping the trees. Another
pest to be guarded against is the borer.
Dig them out with o knife or wire.
They are worse than rabbits. because
they will follow an orchard as long
as 1t lives, while the rabbits will not
trouble a tree after its first five
years Of growth. In preparing the
ground, give it good culture. Trim the
trees very little. Keep the caterpillars
and other worms we'll picked off. Corn
is g better crop to plant in an orchard
than any other, because it will protect
the trees to some extent. The corn
will also furnish food to some insects
that would feed on the leaves Of the
fruit trees, were the corn not there. 1t
is mistake to leave orchards in grass,
for it will attract insects, which, their
food failing, will take to the trees. This
has been my experience.
Mr.. Phillips-The gentleman speaks
of removing in the spring the wrap
ping that protected the trees in the
winter. Recently l read in paper an
article advocating leaving on the wrap
ping as a partial protection in the
summer. leave mine ON all summer.
Mr.. Voris-lf you leave them on they
afford great retreat for the borers.
Mr.. MOrris-I do not believe that
there is any need Of having borers in
an orchard, or any rabbits. paint my
trees with paint containing among 9th
er things white lead, the whole mixed

Mr.. Augustine-I think we should be
careful how we recommend painting

A. Tick DESTROYING Bird.

There is-no remedy for any animal or
vegetable pest better than introducing a
natural enemy to the pest, says the
Australasian. AS an enemy to the tick
that is, now causing such destruction.
among the Northern Queensland herds
the most promising appears to be the
rhinoceros bird, "Buphaga erythrorhyn-
Cha" These birds gain their living by
feeding on the ticks that infest many
of the wild animals in South Africa.
Among wild beasts their attention is,
chiefly directed to the rhinoceros, the
Cape buffalo, the sable antelope, and
the wart-hog, while among the do
nestle animals horses and oxen are
their favorites. Mr.. J. G. Millais, in his
work, "a Breath from the Veldt," says,
of these binds. 1T Is no uncommon sight
to see an OK lying stretched on the
ground on his back exposing the undeT
parts of his body to them" The rhin-
oceros birds have tails Of horny feath-
ers, and claws Of extraordinary strength
and sharpness, by which they can cling
securely. They can hop backwards
quite as well as forwards, and they Of
ten make long drops from the shoulder
to the fOTeleg, or down the side of the
animal. This bird could be easily
brought from South Africa to Queens
land, and If it took to tick-killing as
readily in Australia as it does in the
Cape, it would be of incalculable benefit
to the stockowners Of the north.
