When TO harvest sugar beets is diff
cult matter TO judge accurately. Usual
ly the sugar factory will notify the
farmers when to harvest and deliver
beets. At the Colorado experiment sta
tion last year beets remained unharvest-
ed from Oct to Jan. s without loss
of sugar or weight of crop, In fact, there
was a slight gain in both particulars,
but the climate is drier there than in
most states where this crop is grown.
1t also appeared at the Colorado station
that simple freezing did not affect the
quality of the beet, thus confirming
some of the tests on this point made at
a Utah factory. 1.-The sugar is not
changed by freezing, but its distribu-
tion in the beet may be materially al
fected where only portion of the root
has been frozen, especially If subse-
quent thawing has taken place. Or

CURRENT MISCELLANY.

A case possessing peculiar features

before AIR. Hannay with begging in

Sergeant Brown (the jailer) - The

He is absolutely alive with vermin.
Mr.. Hannay-There is an act of par
lament which deals with verminous
persons.
Mr.. Lyell (the chief clerk, referring
TO the act)-Persons must apply per-
sonally under that act to be cleansed.

Mr.. Hannay--I have gone out of

The case was then tried in the yard
nc the back of the court. The prisoner
was placed under the tree in the yard
and plentiful supply of strong disin-
fectant sprinkled in circle around him.
The magistrate stood facing the pris-
oner, and the officials and witnesses
formed semioircle around the tree.

upon his knee and wrote down the evil

STACKING CORN FODDER.

little earlier than most farmers do SO
as to retain as much of the juices as
possible, making the shocks not larger
than ten hills square, as too large shocks

/ make a bottom out of rails or other
material to keep the fodder from spoil
ing. Make it eight or ten feet wide and
as long as is required. Make the stack
about two bundles wide, tapping these
about one-half, so that there will be
about two or three feet between the top
bundle and outside of stack. Now fill
the middle by laying bundles length
wise in the middle. The middle does
not need to be very full-just enough
to turn the course of the water out.
/ just build the rick straight up as
high as | wish and as long as required.
To top it out fill the middle just full
enough so there will be room to shock
a row of bundles on each side of the
filling, tying the tops together with
binding Irvine saved at thrashing time
This makes a good, solid top, which
will stay ON and turn rain, snow or
sleet.
This method of sacking enables one
TO drive close to the side of the stack,
and the distance which one is required
to pitch will not be over eight or ten
feet. A lead or part of load can be
stacked; then drive ahead, thus making
easy pitching all the time. The beauty
Of this kind of rick is that in feeding
out only few bundles are exposed to
the weather at any time.

Corn on the Cob.

The season of green corn is with us.
And there is cortland corn. Some JUS
titles all we expect of it, and some is
not fit to eat Corn that has passed out
of the milk should go to the pigs. That
which has not may be served at table.
Don't boil green corn an hour, or even
40 minutes. Don't let it stand and soak
in the water after it is done. Boil the
corn till the milk does not escape when
kernel is penetrated by the nail
Twenty minutes is usually sufficient.
Then drain off the water and leave the
corn covered if it must stand. But it
should be served as soon as done. Lay
a napkin on a platter, pile the corn ON
it, sprinkle with salt and fold the cor
ners of the napkin over it.

Ambitious Advertisers.

Not long ago the Suez canal commits
sioners were shocked by an audacious
application from the representative Of
three firms whose products were bis
cults, chocolate and soap, respectively,
for permission to advertise these on the
banks of the canal, yearly rental of
e3, 900 being offered for the privilege.
The application was promptly refused.
According to an Egyptian paper, the
Imparziale, there was recently found
painted in oil, in enormous characters,
over the entrance slab of the pyramid
of Cheops at Gizeh, the legend,
Blanks Dundee Whisky" The adj
vertisers had gone one better than the
Suez canal applicant, for they had dis
pensed with the formality Of asking any
ones permission. How the trick was
done the Imparziale cannot understand,
for the pyramids are supposed to be
watched by Bedouins day and night.

Early sown Wheat and Rust.

The experience of the past season
proves very plainly that it is best to sow
winter wheat at the proper time. That
sown late last autumn came up all right,
and the plant made good, rapid
growth, but it was too late. The growth
of straw was satisfactory, but the heads
did not fill well, and the grain is small.
Rust caught much of it, and this was
hardly worth harvesting. That sown
early on well worked land--land that
was in first class condition-yielded fair
ly well. All Of it was injured to some
extent by rust, but the early sown es-
capped the sweeping damage done to the
late sown, says Il Grundy in Farm and

REsT OF AL TOMATO.

creased experience has confirmed our
opinion. 1t sets very freely and is an
immense oropper producing heavy
punches of fruit at short intervals all
over the plant. In given space we
question whether any other variety
would produce so great weight of
fruit. A popularity of this tomato
which has attracted the attention of ex-
perts is that the first cluster is borne
very low on the stem. The color is a
deep scarlet; form admirable; good
size. and the fruit is so solid that very
little seed is produced. "

tested Best of All in comparison with

The Disappearance of the Sweater.

One of the pleasing phases of bicycle
evolution is the rapid disappearance of
the sweater. When cycling first assum.
ed the proportions of craze, the sweat
er was deemed an indispensable part Of
the wheelman s apparel. 1t was worn
by men and women alike, and the heav-
Ter, thicker and uglier it was the great
er the wearer's pride in it. 1t was a
slovenly looking, unsightly garment
1t was usually dirty, bat it was con-
sidered 1.-THE thing" to wear it, and ev-
cry body wore it. Last year, however,
the sweater began losing its vogue, and
this year it has disappeared almost en-
tirely. Here and there it is seen on a
"scorcher" who olings to ancient tradi-
ton, but the great body of cyclists have
abandoned it i'll favor of civilized gar
ments which are cooler and lighter
