SIZE OF SUGAR BETS.
The Small Kinds Are Richest in Sac
charine Matter and the Most Prof
liable for the Grower.

At discussion upon sugar beets re-
Gently among the members of Wiscon-
sin farmers institute Prof. w. A. Hen
ry, dean of the Wisconsin agricultural
college, said, concerning the size of
beets: The best sugar beets weigh
about two pounds each. Do not try to
grow great, large beets, thinking they
are the best. Years ago when / was
looking up the beet sugar question in
california ] had conversation with
some CT the officials of the Southern
Pacific Railroad company in their Office
IN San francisco. l was urging upon
them the importance of beet sugar pro-
duction in California. Col Croker, the
leader, showed much indifference, saw
ing that he had lost $4,000 in trying to
promote this very enterprise. 1 told
him that that was not necessarily a
reason why beet sugar production could
not yet be profitable. Later on in our
conversation, when talking about Cali
fornia's wonderful productions, he said
that in his experiments he had grown
beets that weighed 20 or 80 pounds each.
As soon as he told me this / replied:
There, Col. Croker, is one of the rea-
sons your factory failed. You thought
large beets were good beets, when in
truth they are poor beets, and helped
wreck your factory. You should have
tried to produce small beets, but many
to the acre; and such, if grown proper
~, would have been rich in sugar, and
these would have brought you success
instead Of failure"

The women of to-day are not as strong
as their grandmothers.
They are bearing a burden in silence
that grows heavier day by day; that is
sapping their vitality, elouding their hap
piness, weighing them down with the woe
of Ill health.
Mrs. Alexander B. Clark, of All Michi-
gan Avenue, Detroit, is a typical woman
of to-day. A wife with such ambition as
only loving wife can have. But the
joys Of her life were marred by the ex-
istence of disease.
Suffering as thousands of her sisters have
suffered, she almost despaired Of life and
yet she was cured.
To-day she is well!
She wants others 10 profit by her ex-
perience; to grow well; to enjoy health;
to be as happy as she is.

employed,the results are the same.
The best way to get rid of the pest is
to kill the maggot. This may be done
by squeezing them out Place the
thumbs near the base of the swelling
and press firmly until the grub is
forced out. To prevent the attacks of
the fly in summer, mixture of four
ounces flowers of sulphur, one gill of
spirits of tar with a quart of train oil
rubbed along the spine, loins and ribs
is useful. Train oil can be used alone.
As the fly does not move about from
place to place freely, its eradica-
ton on individual farms depends al

THE OK MARBLE FLY.
Best and Most Efficient Way to Get
Rid OF the Pest Is TO Destroy
the MaggOt.

The MARBLE or swelling on the back of
cattle is caused by the larva of a fy
which attaches its eggs to the hair on
the legs, TANKS and neck of the animal.
These hatch and the larvae establish
themselves under the skin. usually on
either side of the backbone. Here they
feed upon the animal juices until ready
to pupate, causing the swelling or war

fly or adult stage. There is difference
of opinion as to how the grub gets un-
der the skin. Some entomologists claim
that the egg is taken into the stomach
by the animals licking themselves,
hatch there, adhering to the walls, then
the grubs gradually work their way
toward the surface, where they remain
until fully grown. Others hold that the
eggs hatch where they are laid and the
young larvae bury themselves at once

who are competent is to be middle
aged. They have lost much of their old
conceit they heap new experiences
upon themselves, rushing about the
world In search at once of adventure
and distraction, and they have new
habit of what they call thinking"
which means weighing the results of
any new project, small or big. They
have lost, too, many of their old social
prejudices, acquiring, we fear, the new
one that the only solid test of anything
is it's money value, or, which is the
same thing, its value as a help to
them in getting on" They are more
deliberate, more cautious, more Access
sible to the influence of all facts than
their fathers were-that is to say, they
are In reality older AS the old are
clearer in brain than before, so the
young are more thoughtful, the total
result being that the difference be-
tween old and young is rapidly dimin-
ishing, a great fact which all who pos
sess patronage will do well to consider
In trusting only those Of their own
generation, which is of course one of
the instructive weaknesses, especially
of statesmen, they are losing aid which
might when it comes to action prove
invaluable. Nothing in this world af-
ter all can be done without decision,
and it is by their faculty of decision
that the young business men of to-day
are making successes at which their
older fore-runners, who are sometimes
also their wiser forerunners, stand
amazed.-London Spectator.

ALL ABOUT THE WORD LAUN-


Queer turns the abuse of the English
language will take, on the American
continent as we'll as in the heart of the
British capital. The other day, from a
passageway where certain domestic
assistant occasionally goes to make in
quiries of the mistress of the house,
the listener heard this question asked:
Are they any laundry?"
What the woman meant, put into the
fewest plain words, was this:
SIS there parcel to go to the laun-
dry?" The phrase was purely Ameri-
can, and was used by a native of our
great and glorious country. Among
some of the people the word laundry"
means not merely the place where
washing is done, but the articles
washed, taken collectively. Not long
ago the listener saw in the window of
a mans furnishing store-beg pardon,
gents furnishing store-a placard
which read: Don't forget to leave
your laundry"
This perversion of the ancient word
'1avendery'' takes a curiously different
turn from Sir Hugh Evans's use of the
word in 1.-THE Merry Wives Of Wind
sor::''
There dwells one Mistress Quickly,
which is in the manner Of his nurse, or
his dry-nurse, or his cook, or his laun-
dry, his washer and his wringer."
And it somehow seems less absurd
to call an animated washer and wiring
er a laundry" than the things washed
and wrung.-Boston Transcript.

YOUTH VERSUS OLD AGE.
Wealth and Experience are Gained
Ever Earlier in the Modern World
But the Old Hold on Ionser

Wealth and Experience are Gained
Ever Earlier in the Modern World
But the Old Hold on Longer.
The young have recently scored
point or two in their standing contest
with the old, and it was almost time
they did. For a generation past they
have been beaten, as it were, at every
turn. The old have become so much
healthier that they live, in the better
classes at all events, ten years longer
than was formerly usual, thus keeping
the young out not merely from their
inheritance, but from opportunities of
distinction. For the new health pre-
vents senilty, so that peoples strength
and ability no longer fail them as they
used to do, but last apparently unin-
jured to an unconscionable age. For
merly everybody retired at sixty, but
now at sixty men are just mature,
their wits are as bright as ever, they
can dance if they care to try, and they
feel as if they were good for another
twenty years. 1t is a positive fact
that they stop on after their pensions
are due, and that those who should re-
move them, and thus clear the road of
promotion, hesitate to do it, saying
they see no reason for running the risk
of new selections while the experienced
remain so thoroughly competent.
This leaves the young fellows, who are
all wanting to marry, no chance, and
they all complain that the natural lad
der is getting longer and than it takes
years upon years longer than it used
to do to reach the top. The old will
not take themselves out of the way,
and "really," say the youngsters with
a sigh, they do the work, don't you
know, very we'll" That is hard on the
new generation, but of late it has
seemed as if they had in one depart
ment of effort quite a new advantage.
The boys" to the surprise alike of
themselves and their seniors, make
fortunes quicker than the 'fogies." If
there is one path in which more than
another judgment ought to tell, it is
making money, but the great accumu-
