and were IL not for these inteliigences,
would still be ''the most peaceable and

20 quiet, one end OF our community
scarcely knows how the other erd lives
Further, we learn that ''disgraceful
acts" are tolerated, "outrages are per-
petrated." and that this is "a common
occurrence" Now, we would moi

Sugar beets at "a to IS per ton, or
cane at corresponding prices, are fairly
profitable crops compared to cereals,
potatoes, tobacco, cotton, etc. An acre
OF corn in the west, yielding 40 bush.
els of grain worth Is cents per bushel,
will buy something more than 100 lbs.
of granulated sugar at the grocery
store. That same acre Of land devoted
to sugar beets will produce 1000 to
1000 pounds of refined sugar, like the
finest white sugar you can buy. The
corn under such conditions returns
about ST per acre for all the labor and
capital invested in that one crop.
Sugar beets yield S25 to $50 per acre,
and while they require far more labor.
they pay for it and leave net profit OF
$40 to S25 per acre, which Is handsome
compared to the meagre returns from
corn, wheat, oats, etc.-Vermililon
Republican.
The experience of the world is that
sugar beet farming pays. What the
farmer is interested in rs a business
proposition is to give his attention to
those lines OF his business that pay.
Hence there should be no weakening
of the agitation for beet sugar factory
at this point. 1t will pay and is an
industry that will directly benefit hun
dreds and add to the bone and sinew
and shekels of the county -Yankton

named countries, and in some OF them
| Austria, Germany and possibly
| France-the average crop per acre Will
run 1900 pounds. 1t, therefore, takes
over 1000 900 acres OF land to produce

consumed in 1896 $500, 600, 900 pounds
Of sugar, and produced only about
1, SOC, 900 pounds OF beet sugar. At the

To grow large ears, well filed out,
the soil must be deep, mellow and heav-
lily fertilized. The best growers spread
one Inch Of rotted manure in the fur
row, and when the corn is six inches In
height SOW 600 pounds OF phosphate to
the acre and cultivate 1t In. Liquid
manure Is an excellent stimulant. 1t Is
run between the rows at the rate OF
nifty barrels to the acre. Night soil is
another valuable manure for this crop;
twelve two-horse loads is the right
quantity to spread broadcast before
planting. The manure and soil should
be well mixed together. Sweet corn
may be planted all through July and up
to the 10th OF August. For market or
for family use, plant every fifteen days.
The ground should be deeply plowed
and nicely pulverized

In summer sheep are apt TO be trou-
bled by the fly which deposits eggs in
their noses. and afterwards matches the
maggot which burrows in their heads
and often proves fatal Sheep are much
excited when they find this fly, run
ming with their nose close to the ground
and rubbing It into any loose soil they
NAV find. Tarring the nose is the best
preventive and always effective II tax
en- in time. 1t is easily done by leaving
tar In the field and throwing handful
OF salt over ii. In their eagerness 10
get the salt. the sheep will thoroughly
coat their noses with tar. II should be
renewed so long as warm weather
lasts. for the tar will gradually wear

Vinegar from ummer Apples.

Vinegar from ummer Apples.
If there were only larger proportion
OF sweet In summer apples, they would
be much the best for making into vine
gar, as the warm weather causes vio-
lent fermentation. which soon gets into
the vinegar stage. But 1t is found that
though the fermentation Is rapid be-
cause OF the temperature, the vinegar
resulting therefrom is thin and poor.
There is a decided advantage In adding
some sugar after the cider has passed
the alcoholic stage OF fermentation. II
will Increase the sourness OF the vine
gar, while there will stu be the same
apple aroma and flavor which makes
apple cider vinegar the best that can be
produced from anything. The fall ap-
pies. even those called sour" have
more sweetness In them than have the
best sweet summer apples. The Rus
set apple makes very rich cider. but
1t does not ripen until all the warm
weather has passed, so il keeps in the
alcoholic stage all winter. and is very
apt during that time to be drank by
cider-thirsty people. The advantage OF
making cider from summer apples Is
that hot weather brings 1t so soon &c
the vinegar stage that comparatively
little of it viii be drank as cider.

Thirty years ago 20 employees of the
United States senate were on the pay

large increase is in proportion not only
to the size of the senate. but as well to
the increase in public business. due to
the enormous development of the coun-
try. 1t takes more employees TO trans
act this business. But the number OF
