The United States consul at Magde-
burg, Germany, says that beet farms
and beet sugar factories must stand
close together. 1t is idle to grow beets
if there is no mill at hand to extract
the sugar from them, and it is idle to
build a factory If there are no beet
farms at hand to supply the raw ma
terial. In addition to the adaptation of
soil and climate to beet growing there
fore the farmer must consider the suit
ability of the place for the establish
ment of a factory, and conversely, the
wouldbe manufacturer must consider,
apart from the intrinsic availability of
his mill site, the possibilities of beet
culture on the surrounding farms. The
requirements for beet culture are
rich, deep soil, with a porous, we'll
drained subsoil and a generous appli-
cation of suitable fertilizers. The eli
mate should be such as to assure fair
ly moist weather for the first three
months of the growing season and one
month of comparatively dry, sunny
weather following. Indeed, the latter
is the more important, for the neces-
sary moisture of the first three months
can be supplied by artificial irrigation.
When such conditions of soil and eli
mate do not exist there is little use in
trying beet culture. Where they are
found the farmer will be justified in
making some practical experiments
with sugar beets, not on large scale
necessarily, but in small lots, in var
ious parts of his farm. If it be ascer-
tanned that beets can be successfully
grown in a given place the next ques-
ton is whether factory can be profit
ably conducted there. The essential re-
quirements for a factory are water for
washing the beets, ETC., fuel for the
engines, and limestone for purifying
the saccharine juice. These must be
close at hand, or readily and cheaply
procurable from a distance If they are
not there is no use in building fac
tory and none in attempting to grow
beets. If they are a mutual agreement
should be made between the farmer and
the manufacturer, the former stipulat-
ing to provide sufficient quantities OF
beets to make the factory profitable,
the latter to take and utilize the prod
uct of the farms. All these conditions
complied with, the enterprise may be
with good promise of sue
cess. That there are many places in |
the United States where it may be thus |
undertaken is not to be doubted. But |
that fact must be ascertained by ac-
tual experiment in every case, unless
disappointment and disaster are to be
the result.

Swine Supply.-The September re-
mort of the department Of agriculture
saws: Reports as to the number of
stock hogs for fattening show a de-

last year. The reduction is greatest
in the following states, the figures in
dicating the decreased percentage:
Mississippi, p; Texas, 10; Arkansas,

increase is reported. the gain for that
state being 5 per cent. In point Of
condition the reports are fairly uni

A special tax" upon the dram-shop
has advantages which Qf not apparent
to its astute inaugurat0rs) become more
and more parent to dramshop proprie-
tors, and advantages equally patent to
landlords, to persons suffering evils
consequent upon the retail traffic in
intoxicating drinks, and to the student
of the INTERROGATION of government and
saloon-keepers. 1t does not operate as
Lcense"-so affirm the internal rev.
enue collector and state officials; and
yet, in effect, it confers all the rights
and privileges of license without ex-
posing its holder to its restraints or
subjeetiRg him to its responsibilities. 3.
To instance in the state of Ohio,
whose constitution forbids licensing the
liquor traffic. but imposes an annual
tax Of three hundred and fifty dollars
to provide against the evils resulting
from it, landlord can not obtain judg-
ment against a saloon keeper for rent;
and, in the case of ----- VS.. -----
the plaintiff. who had brought suit for
damages caused by a fall into the de-
PENDANTS cellar, it was discovered that
the defendant, as a landlord, renting
property for saloon purposes, was not
liable for damages which might be In
Cured by habitues of the saloon. 1t
was suspected that this law was enact
ed in the interest of the saloon-keepers;
it is now found. as a matter of fact
that it does so operate-Union Signal.
A great commotlou seems to have taken
place among railway circles, owing to a
contemplated through car service between
the Pacific coast and Chicago which is to
operate one day each week. This is not
new departure by any means, as the Den
yer & Rio Grande Railroad company and
its connections have been operating
through car service between the Pacific
and Atlantic coasts, via Salt Lake, Pueblo,
Denver, Kansas City and Chicago for
years, and three days each week, viz:
every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
evening. The cars for this through SER
vice are of the latest Pullman design, and
are supplied with new clean linen and bed
ding throughout. A Pullman porter is as
signed to each car. These cars are under
the personal supervision of a special excur-
sion agent, whose duty it is to see that
passengers are given every comfort and
attention.
For further information, apply to any
agent, or to B. F. Nevins, general agent,
or to H. NJ Cushing, travelling passenger

Varying Components Of Milk.-Dur-
ing the first five months of milking the
salts in the milk are in excess, and then
progressively decrease to the eighth
month, when they increase slightly; the
casein and extractives diminish up to
the second month, and then remain
nearly constant, but from the tenth to
the twenty fourth month the casein de-
clines; from the eighth to the tenth
month the sugar increases, this body
being in small proportion during the
latter part Of the first month, and in
the fifth and sixth and tenth and
eleventh months the butter fails in pro-
portion, progressively diminishing from
the first to the eighth month, and then
increasing slightly.
