Culture Of the smear l,cet.

Numerous attempts to establish beet
sugar factories in America have fail
cd, and the principal cause OF failure
mas been stated to be the inability to
secure sufficient supply of beets. The
culture Of the sugar beet involves diff
ferent methods from those pursued
with ordinary farm crops. and in or
der that factory may be successfully
started in any neighborhood the farm
ers of that vicinity should have had
some previous experience in the cul-
ture of this crop. Since the sugar beet
is very valuable stock food and is
cultivated by many farmers for this
purpose alone, the experience neces-
sary to its successful culture may be
obtained without loss, though no sugar
factory should ever be located In the
neighborhood; and in view OF the
probable development of the beet
sugar industry in northern Ohio the
experiment station recommends to the
farmers of that region that they begin
Immediately to get the practical ex-
perlence necessary to the successful
management of this crop. Sugar
beets and mangolds have been grown
for number of years by the Ohio Ex-
pertinent station for stock food and the
experience thus gained is summarized
below. This crop may be successfully
grown on any soil we'll adapted to po-
tatoes or corn, the ideal soil being
rich loan, somewhat sandy and we'll
drained. The two extremes OF heavy
clays and light muck lands should be
avoided, and drainage, natural or ar
t1hcial, is essential. The ideal site
Tor beet crop is a clean clover sod.
1t should be plowed not less than eight
inches deep, as early in the spring as
possible and most thoroughly pulver-
lied. If garden seed drill is at hand
the seed may be sown with that, set
ting the drill so as to drop the seeds
two or three inches apart. II no
| drill is to be had, mark out the ground
with sled marker, making the fur
rows one inch to an inch and a half
deep, and two feet to thirty inches
apart and drop the seeds by hand, COW
| ering about one inch and packing the
| earth over the seeds. The planting
| may be done at any time from the mid
die of April to the first of June, prefer
ably not later than the middle of May
| When the plants reach a height OF
about four inches they should be
thinned so as to stand about six inches
apart. Large beets are not desirable
for sugar making, as they contain
smaller percentage of sugar than the
medium-sized ones, and for the same
reason medium beets are more valu-
able for stock food. After thinning,
the weeds must be kept down and the
| surface kept loose. To accomplish
this at least cost, some harrow OF
weeder should be used at least once
week from the date of planting I'M
| til the tops shade the ground, going
| over the crop at least once before the
plants appear above the surface. If
this is neglected the hoeing required
may easily double the cost OF the
| crop.

pie Melons" rs stock Food.

A number of Oklahoma farmers
have fed and been pleased with what
are known as pie melons" as a part
OF the food for cattle, hogs and sheep,
says Bulletin 90 Of that station. This
melon resembles a watermelon, often
grows to large size, is "solid meat"
and gives an enormous crop, apparent
~ suffering less from drouth than 90
most crops. 1t thrives so well that an
objection is made to it from the fact
that the undigested seeds Of melons
led to cattle often cause the growth OF
crop where it is not wanted. A spec1-
men of the green seeded" variety was
recently analysed by the chemists OF
the Oklahoma experiment station. Ine
dry substance was only per cent OF
the total weight, while turnips have
about IL per cent Of dry substance.
Turnips have one-half more protein or
heterogeneous matter, but less fat, also
less fiber and slightly more OF otner
carbohydrates. The melon is the surer
crop and probably would give larger
yield, even under favorable conditions.
1t is not readily injured by frost. Some
farmers prefer to have the shell some
what softened by freezing before iced
ing. While apparently much unlike
the composition of the dry substance
OF these melons is nearly the same as
that of the dry substance Of corn en-
silage. The latter, however, has much
more dry substance-in many cases
three times as much. The adaptation
of these melons to this climate, pro-
ducing large crops even in unfavoraole
years, and the fact that they are pala-
table to stock and have fair feeding
value, suggests the propriety OF CIV
ing them more extended trial. They
may be fed in connection with bran,
midd!ings or cotton seed cake.

Idaho Indians Want to Trade Land

iuuho ihuiuns want to Trade Land

A group of three Bannock and four Sho-
shone Indians, in feather regalia, at
tracted large amount of attention at the
union depot yesterday afternoon. They ar
rived in Omaha from their reservation at
Fort Hall, Idaho, Friday night, leaving for
the east on the Northwestern last night.
Washington, d. c., is their destination. ].
@. Hoyt, land commissioner of Idaho, who
was In charge of the noble red men, stated
that they were on their way to the national
capitol for a consultation with the "Big
Chief" in connection with the sale of a por-
tion OF their reservation to the government.
The reservation includes nearly 1000, 900
acres of land, much of 1t being fertile.
The Indians could only converse through
the medium of an interpreter, and did not
appear to be very communicative at that.
Mr.. Hoyt stated that they had not even
made him acquainted with the exact nature
of their intended proposition to the govern
ment. He understood, however, that the
deal contemplated an exchange OF certain
lands in the present reservation for others
owned by the government, where better
hunting existed. In event of the transaction
being made a large tract OF land will be
opened for settlement by white people.

PARISH LINES SETTLED

BISHOP SCANNELpS NEW BOUNDARIES
Friction which Has Existed Between
Two Catholic Organizations in
This City for Several Years,
Peacefully Removed.

rearrangement of the parish boundaries
of the Catholic churches of Omaha has been
decided upon by Bishop Scannell and will
probably be announced in the churches con-
cerned during the services today.
For some years past considerable friction
has existed between st. Peters parish and
ST. Johns Collegiate church. When the lat
ter church was undertaken about ten years
ago the intention was to limit its functions
to the purposes of the college, as its name
implies. This was soon found to be i'm
practicable for scores of families regularly
attended services there. The greater num-
ber were drawn from ST. Peters church, and
their absence made serious inroads into the
revenue necessary to maintain it. St.
many years and the college church another,
inasmuch as 1t enjoyed none OF the rights
and privileges of a parish church, and yet
had regular attendants. Both grievances
have been disposed OF by making St Johns
a parish church.
The boundaries of the new parish are
Twentieth street on the east, Dodge on tn
south, Thirtieth on the west and Parker on
the north. This square takes In portions
of the Holy Family and st. Peters parishes,
while a small addition is made to the parish
of the Sacred Heart The cathedral parish
lines are undisturbed.
In consideration OF creating ST. Johns
parish church the Jesuit fathers now IN
charge of the Holy Family church VIII re-
fnauish that parish to the secular priest
hood. The change, lit is said will occur
within a few weeks. 1
