TO ORGANIZE FOR PENSIONS.
Patrick HI. OsNeIl, Urges the For
1natten OF Union Veterans Union.


NATION OF Union Veterans UnEon.
At the annual reception and ball given
by the members of Naval Division No. 1O4,
Department of New Jersey, G. A. r., at
Rusack's Hall, First and Bloomfield
streets Hoboken, on Saturday night. Pa
trick H O'Neill, of this city, made a
speech faVoring the formation of Ho-
boken branch of the Union Veterans
Union. Mr. O'Neill is Deputy Commander
of the Union in this city. lie said its prin-
cipal object was to secure pensions for
members, free OF charge, thus protecting
them from fraudulent pension agents. The
only States in which there are not full
departments of the Union are Rhode ISL
and, Connecticut and New Jersey.
a department command consists of five
organizations. Mr.. O'Neill said that this
State had only two. He stated that there
was one branch being organized in New
Brunswick and another in Newark For
the remaining branch he said he looked
to Hoboken. His plan met with favorable
consideration among tn veterans present,
and it is probable that a branch of the
Union will be formed some time this
week.
The Union Veterans Union differs
from the G.. A. R. organization in that
only veterans who have been to the front
and have participated in one or more bat
ties can become active members. MIR.
ONeill said, however, that it was not am
tagonistic to the latter society.

A Brilliant Opportunity for Far
ners.

Ii the new congress enacts q
tariff that reserves the American
market for American sugar, many
beet sugar factories will be es-
tablished in the next few wears.
The beet at 81 per ton yields $50
per acre, of which $40 to $50 are
net profit over and above every
item OF expense, including pay
at full wages for all labor done
on the crop. Contrast this with
the average Of only ST or IS per
acre from corn and wheat, which
barely pays cost Of production and
certainly leaves no profit. No
wonder farmers are tumbling over
each other to "gct a whack at"
this new crop Consequently all
will be glad to know that book
has just been prepared by the
editor of American Agriculturist
which, as expressed in its title,
tells all about Sugar \ New
and Profitable Industry in the
United States for Agriculture,
Capital and Labor, to Supply the
Home Market Yearly with 800,
100000 of its product" The
book tells just what has been
done, and how it has been done,
by growers of beets and cane and
manufacturers OF sugar there
from, during the past six years.
1t describes beet culture in full
detail, tells how to start a factory
to afford home market for
thousands of tons of beets, con
tains advertisements of numerous

The many pictures illustrate
everything about the business
and crop. Altogether the book
answers every question that can
be raised about this new depar-
ture that promises so much for "a

As 10 Cotton Ties.

News and Courier: Last wear, it
will be remembered, the Alliance
Exchange tackled the iron band
cotton tie rather late i'm the sea
son, and there was a considerable
amount of confusion on account
OF the introduction of the wire
tire. Colonel Duncan, of the AL
lance Exchange, does not intend
letting the matter lie over until
such late day this season, and
has already entered into CORES
pondence, and has offers that
would have been gladly accepted
last year. The ties will be very
much cheaper than they were
last year, and whether the trust
has had its backbone broken or
not makes no material difference
Suffice it to say that the prices
now being quoted are very much
less than they have been for some
time, and Colonel Duncan is being
pressed for contracts for the use
of the Alliance.

Railroad $500 Miles Long.

One of the most stupendous
enterprises ever undertaken is
the building of the Trans Siberian
railway by the Russian Govern
ment. When completed it will
be $500 miles long extending
from St. Petersburg to Viadivos,
tok on the Pacific coast. Our
great transcontinental lines will
be laid in the shade. Track has
been laid on 5000 miles of the
line. and the whole system is eX-
pected to be finished by the end
of the century. Billiards. are
entirely unknown in the region
through which it will run, the
atmosphere is dry, the average
winter temperature little be
low zero, and the snowfall is
usually not very deep. When
this road is completed it will very
considerably shorten the journey
around the earth, making it pos
sible to circle the planet in a
month. Heretofore it has been
considered Il wonderful feat To go
around the earth in eighty days :;
at present it is possible TO accom-
plish it in sixty six days, but by
the end of the decade man can
leave New York, 20 by way of
Bremen, st. Petersburg, Via
divostok. San Francisco and re.
turn to New York within little
more than thirty days. The
world is becoming smaller. and a
man can scamper around it on a
brief holiday trip.

IN THE CORNFIELD.
Reported From the Alaba ma Agri-
cultural Experiment Station.

The spring and early summer
Of 1896 were extremely dry.
Among IA varities of corn tested
the largest yields were made by
St. Charles, followed by Early
Mastodon and Blount Prolific.
In the unusual season of 1896
seed corn from Illinois afforded a
larger yield than did that from
Alabama and Georgia. Kernels
from the middle Of the ear of dent
varIties afforded a smaller yield
than grains from the butt and tip
ends Of the ear. This result was
confirmed by averaging the re-
lative yields obtained in II tests
at five experiment stations.
In this dry season the yields
were practically the same whether
the distance between single plants
In rows five feet apart was three
or four feet. A distance of two
feet in the row greatly reduced
the yield.
On sandy branch bottom land
the yield Of corn was 3. ! bushels
greater where 1876 pounds per
acre of crushed cotton seed was
used than where $50 pounds OF
cottonseed meal was employed,
the amount of nitrogen furnished
per acre being the same in each
fertilizer. On sandy branch bot
tom land which had borne two
crops of weeds the loss when the
weeds were burned, instead of
being plowed under. was 2.S
bushels Of corn per acre.
The yield Of grain was less
when the entire stalks were cut
and cured before pulling the ears
and also less when topping YVES
practiced than when the plants
were not disturbed before gath.
ering the ears. Financially, top
ping was Improbable, and the
profit in harvesting the entire
stalks was doubtful where no
shredder was available to prepare
the stalks for feeding and when
corn was valued at IS cents per
bushel and stalks at 25 cents per
100 pounds.
A compilation of results of
stripping the blades or pulling
fodder showed an average loss of
90 bushels Of corn per acre from
pulling fodder. Only when fod-
der is high and corn low in price
can fodder pulling be regarded as
profitable. Hay making would
generally give better returns than
fodder pulling for the labor en-
ployed.
