There has always been a prejudice
against cultivated ginseng. Among the
Chinese and Japanese. with whom alone
it is considered "a celebrated medicine,
the wild specimens bring the higher
prices. At a time when thedemand be-
came almost beyond supply other roots
began TO be substituted, notably panax
quinquefolium, or Linn, which was
known as the American root. The dyn-
asty favored the 'seng obtained in Man
churia, and by them was considered of
unequaled excellence. But it became so
rare that an imperial edict was issued
against the gathering of it. Ginseng
collected in the Chinese empire is inn
perial property, and is sold only to
those to whom privileges have been
granted, and from whom it brings its
weight in gold. During the first part of
the winter the population of Siansai
turn out in body to collect it, sleeping
in the field while the season continues.

small door through which to replenish
the smoldering fire in the iron kettle on
the inside. The bottom of the box has
holes in it similar to those in the top,
the upper barrel being raised TO show
these. The front of the box is hinged
to admit the meat. The upper barrel

EEL SUGAR MAKING.
Process BY which Farmers Map Pro-
duce the Article.

Ia reply TO an appeal from the Epit~
oEl-st Publishing company Of IHdianap-
oils asking for some process by which
farmers may produce beet sugar at
home in a small way for their own use
Dr. H. y. Wiley, chief chemist Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture at Washington, expresses his views
as follows: The production of crude
beet sugar in a small way is an extreme
ly simple process. Amy farmer who is
equipped with a cider mill for rasp-
ing the beets, cider press for express
ing the juice and an evaporation suitable
for making sorghum molasses can pro-
duce a crude beet sugar. AS a rule this
sugar will not be very palatable, because
it is not refined and contains the salts
and bitter principles which make raw
beet sugar and beet molasses as a rule
unfit for table use. 1t will be, however,
an interesting object lesson TO our
farmers TO demonstrate the fact that
the sugar beet itself contains sugar, and
that the latter can be made in the crude
way have mentioned above.
In this way the making of sugar in
Il small way by farmers may prove a
stimulus 10 the industry and do great
good. Farmers. however. should not
be deceived by the expectation of being
able TO make their sugar in successful
way commercially. The successful and
profitable manufacture Of sugar can
only be accomplished in expensive fac
tories, equipped with all the appliances
necessary to make pure refined sugar.
Only the pure refined beet sugar can
ever become an article of commerce. In
this the beet differs from the sugar
cane, because the latter will give n
sugar which. even in the crude state, is
palatable and marketable; in fact,
many people prefer crude cane sugar
to the refined article on account Of It's
containing the aromatic principles of
the cane, which give it an odor and fla
vor very acceptable to most palates. I
trust that any Of your readers who may
undertake the manufacture of beet
sugar in the crude way I have men
toned above may do so only from the
point Of view Indicated. and not with
the expectation of making it CONNER
cial success.

Here is an excellent floor polish. the
recipe for which comes from Japan:
To one pint of linseed oil add a pint
of strong cold tea, two ounces of spir-
its of salts and the whites of two eggs.
Mix thoroughly and pour into large
bottle. Shake the bottle well before
applying the polish. Pour half tea
spoonful on a mop or pad of old soft
silk and rub the wood with it, following
up the grain. Polish with an old silk
handkerchief. The result will com
pensate for the tedious and careful la
Dor necessary.

Boulder's Committee Returns Stuffed With
Favorable Facts.
The committe of FIVE, comprising W..
H. Allison. ]. H. Nicholson. w. V. Casey,
Rev. w. R. hoffman and T. E. Giller,
appointed to investigate the workings
and results of the Ottawa Chautauqua.
returned to Bouldes-this morning, well
pleased with their trip and more conf
dent than ever that Boulder will reap a
harvest of good results through the loca
ton of a similar institution here.
Said COL Nicholson this morning:
eve make no mistake in securing the
Chautauqua. From the example we had
before US it is evident that manifold re
suits may be expected. Not only does
the annual visit of a large number of
educational people build up the town on
good substantial basis, but it stimulates
the citizens to greater exertions in beauti-
flying and improving the city. Ottawa IS
a beautiful little city of 5000 people. Its
streets are well kept. its sidewalks are in
perfect condition, even the class of bust
ness houses show superiority over
those of cities of the same size not so
favored. Of course. we cannot expect
to have our Chautauqua on an equal
basis at once. but our scenic advantages
are so infinitely superior, that the lack of
trees on the grounds will not be painful.
ly apparent, at least Until start can be
made. The Ottawa institution is four.
teen years old"
The scope of the Ottawa institution of
course is not as great as that contemplat
ed by the projectors of the Boulder
Cnautauqua and yet its results are very
appreclable.
The committee will appear before
mass meeting of citizens tonight in the
district court room.
