The following bulletin has been
issued by the U. S. Experiment
station of South Dakota:
Sugar beets grown for the fac.
tory must possess the following
characteristics:
They must have Il high per
cent of sugar and low per
cent of albuminoids. These
qualities are secured by planting
in narrow rows with the beets
growing close in the row.
They must have Il low per cent
of ash which is secured by close
planting and by using we'll drain
ed, sandy loom soil; no manure
must be applied.
They must be smooth and reg
ular without divided tap root.
This can be secured by plowing
the ground deep and making the
seed bed fine. The best beets
for sugar making are small,
weighing from / to Is pounds
each.
In these trials do not vary
from following directions.
DIRECTIONS FOR SUGAR BEET
CULTURE.
"Selection of soil. Choose
rather high, sandy soil which
has not been manured since the
last crop was taken off. Also do
not apply any fertilizers this
year.
Preparation of the seed bed
Having selected the ground to
use, measure off a plat one rod
wide and four rods long, or you
may take plat two rods square.
This will give you one fortieth of
an acre. Now plow the ground
deep, at least twelve inches.
Then by means Of much drag
ging, or by means Of roller or
plank, make good, firm seed
bed Of finely pulverized earth.
Sowing the seed. Now lay off
on the prepared seed bed rows
exactly - inches apart There
will be nine rows il the plat is
one rod wide, or eighteen rows
if the plat is two rods wide
Sow the seed the last week in
April or the first week in May,
according the weather. Do not
fail to get the seed ii this early.
Plant the seed from one to two
and one half inches deep depend
ing on the dampness Of the
ground. The seed must be ia
damp earth. The seed may be
sown by hand or a garden drill
may be used. If the ground is
dry at the time of seeding it will
be we'll to soak the seed twelve
hours before planting, but they
must not be allowed to sour or
ferment, as this will spoil the
seed
Thinning and cultivation
When the young plants have
four to six leaves, go over the
plat with wheel hoe with weed
cutter attachments or use com
mon hoe, hoeing close to the
rows. Now go over each row by
hand, thinning out the beets SO
that the single plants may stand
from four to six inches apart
Also remove all the weeds.
From this time on the beets
may be cultivated by hoe, wheel
hoe, or horse cultivator to
keep free from weeds and
to keep the soil mellow The
beets are not exactly to be hilled
up, but it is best to work the soil
towards the beets. The ground
must not be allowed to crust ov-
er or to cake and crack. =

GRIT OF A WESTERN WOMAN.
Long Ride of Mrs. West of Seattle With
II Broken Rib and Knee.

Few men possess such grit and de-
termination as Mrs. West of Seattle.
Wash, is endowed with. Recently while
riding her wheel she met with an acct
dent in which she sustained a broken
rib, a split kneecap, painful wound
on the face and the loss of four teeth.
Thus sorely disabled she pluckily re-
mounted the bicycle and rode 20 miles
10 her home.
1t all came about from being too am
bilious to ride down hill. She was an
expert bicyclist and had coasted down
so many hills that she had long since
ceased trying to keep any account Of

CORAL BORING IN THE PACIFIC.
Result of the Expedition Sent Out From
England.


From the Sydney Herald.
The steamer Birksgate. which arrived
on Saturday from the islands, brings
further news from Fiji concerning the
coral boring expedition at Funafuti III
the Ellice group. News had been taken
to Suya by H. NJ. $. Royalist of the
progress made by the expedition after
the departure of Professor David in
the John Williams. When Professor
David left Funafuti on Sept. the bore
was down 657 feet. On Sept. l6. when
the Royalist left Funafuti the bore was
down CAB feet The Royalist took to
Suva a letter for DR.. Corney from G..
Sweet. F. G. S., who is now the leader
of the expedition, stating mat the Dor
ing for the last 80 feet was chiefly in
coral rock and that no sign of volcanic
rock or of any other than coral, had
yet been met with in the bore. When
the Royalist arrived the expedition had
consumed all their coal, but Comman
der Rason was enabled to supply suf-
ficient coal to last them till the arrival
of the steamer Archer from which it
was hoped an additional supply would
be obtained.
Professor David states that the bore
having already excee..ed the depth for
which Darwin stipulated in his CLASH
! cal work on coral reefs, and good
core having been obtained throughout,
4 it may now be looked upon as n sue
/ cess. Information likely TO be OF con-

also on account of the very cadaFerous
