Preparing for Sugar Beets.

Preparing for Sugar Beets.
Indiana Experiment Station:-The
increased interest in the sugar beet
question has brought to the expert
ment station an unusually large num-
Der of samples of sugar beets from all
sections of the state. Some of the
beets were raised from seed furnished
by the station and some from seed OBJ
tanned from other sources. In the case
OF the seed sent out from the station,
full working directions were furnished.
IN most cases these directions were not
followed, although those who requested
free seed agreed to fully follow work.
ing directions. The most essential
preliminary to raising good sugar beets
is the proper preparation OF the seed
bed. The ground should be stirred to
depth of at least 16 inches. The best
way to accomplish this is to turn a fur
row about eight inches deep with a
soil plow in the bottom Of the furrow.
Very few farmers who tried raising
beets, report that they used a subso1l
ploW or any other implement for STIR
ring the soil to a greater depth than
eight inches. The result of this is seen
in many of the samples received. In
stead OF a single tap root there are
number Of small roots, and instead OF
the beet growing well under ground,
it extends so far above ground that
nearly one-half of it's weight is useless
for sugar making purposes. Both these
defects can be corrected by deep plow-
ing and subsoiling It is much better
to do this blowing and subsoillng IN
the fall. We therefore advise all those
who intend to experiment with sugar
beets the next year or who intend TO
raise them for any purpose, to pillow
the land now, and be ready to plant as
early as the season will permit in the
spring. This early planting is a great
advantage on the moderately nght
lands that are best adapted for sugar
beets since it advances the crop to a
stage where it can better Withstand the
usual dry summer season.
In the distribution of seed in the
spring, the station will give preference
to those who have land properly pre-
pared. If farmers intend to try the
raising of sugar beets it is of the ut
most Importance that the work be
properly done in every respect. For
every test not properly conducted and
giving beets of poor quality is not
simply useless; it is directly injurious
since it seems to indicate that the To-
cality is not adapted for beet culture.
Badly conducted tests may be the
means of keeping beet factories away
from localities that are really we'll suit
ed for the business. They will GER
tainly never be the means of inducing
capitalists to invest money in factories
in any locality.
The first step in the right direction
is proper blowing and this can and
ought to be done at once

it is important that we should know
how best to keep them in the bright
condition in which they reach us from

Frightening brass is to cover it with a
solution Of oxalic acid in soft water,
made in proportions of one ounce of
acid to a pint Of water. When the
metal is well covered with the fluid,
polish it briskly with chamois skin.
It must be noted that this oxalic acid
preparation is a poison and very strong
in it's effect upon the brass, so it
should not be used too often.

A Breeding Mule.

Hare mules, as rule, not possessing
the power to reproduce their kind,
though coming in heat, periodically, as
other mares do, says Indiana Farmer.
1here are, however, isolated cases on
record of mule conceiving to the SER
vice OF a stallion and producing foal,
though it is not shown that the foal
ever lived beyond a period of a few
months. One case Of the kind is related

slckened and died. The following year,
the same mule produced another foal
having been served by young stallion
running in the pasture with her; this
foal, as with the other. partook more
OF the characteristics of the horse than
OF those of the dam, and was a strong,
healthy fellow until he had reached
ABOUT year old, then he died, despite
the care and skill that were used to
save his life. The mother of these
colts was a mule in every sense of the
word and without the shadow of
doubt and the experience is a very re-
markable one. There are probably
other such cases. but in them all they
seem to have come into the world as
monstrous and unwelcome exceptions
to Natures decree, soon to perish and
pass out of existence It is well that
1t is so; the mule is serviceable, use

when it comes to further perpetuation
OF the species, no improvement, gain
or good can result therefrom and any
attempt in that direction can result in
nothing but infinite disorder and con-
fusion.

BLOCH A FREE MAN.
MEMBER OF ARSON GANG RELEASED
FROM WAUPUN.
sERRY CASES ARE DISMISSED.
Judge Fish Grants an order Dismissing
the Famous SANDER Cases on
Ground That Advance Fees
Were Not Paid.

Another chapter in the famous arson
case has been finished and another set
of papers has been closed by the
Clerk of the Circuit Court for on
Thursday Clerk Maloney received from
Warden Roberts, of Waupun, an Off
cial paper. stating that Barney Bloch
had walked out of the state prison On
the afternoon of Dec. Sd, free man.
Bloch at once left for Chicago, and
so far as can be learned nothing has
been heard in this city in regard to his
future plans.
Barney Bloch was one of the Perrin
gang, who were convicted of arson in
this city in the fall of 1894. Along
with George S. Perrin he was sentenced
to serve a term of eight years in the
state prison. From the moment Bloch
went into prison his friends have been
active in seeking pardon for him
from the Governor and on the 18th of
July last the Governor acted and COM
muted the sentence to four years.
The conditions of the pardon were
made known for the first time today,
but they furnish no information more
than the fact that after careful con-
sideration the Governor was of the
opinion that the case was worthy OF
executive clemency." Bloch has many
friends in this city who will be glad to
know that he is released, as they be-
lieve that he was only technically
guilty of the crime of which he was
charged.
Bloch is the second of the crowd to
be released and many people think it
is only question Of short time until
Perrin, always regarded as the arch
conspirator, will be released.
seery SANDER Cases Dismissed
A sensation was sprung in court cir
cles on Thursday afternoon when an
order was received by Judge Fish dis
missing the famous Seery Islander cases.
The cases have created great attention
all over the country and when the
cases were on trial at the last term of
the Circuit Court the court room was
thronged with interested spectators.
The suits were an outgrowth OF the old
StOnebraker divorce case and were
brought by Miss Lillian Seery against
Lafayette Cook and wife, Ward Balm,
George F. Leet, William Burgess and
Elliott Cook. But one of them ever
came to trial and this was the case
against Lafayette Cook, and after being
in the courts for several days the jury
failed to agree on verdict.
All the cases were dismissed by the
Judge on the motion of Attorney
James Cavanagh appearing for the de-
PENDANTS. The order for the dismissal
was granted by Judge Fish on the
grounds that the advance fees in the
action had not been paid.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you can
not get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the bet
ter, so that while our profits may be
smaller on single sale, they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can yousget the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public, both are Ger
tain to be tried, and the public will
very quickly..pass judgment on them
and use only the better one.

TO FOIL TAX SHARKS.
Movement on Foot to Drive Them Out of
Business.

Mr. Bollow, the city treasurer of
Milwaukee, is engaged in drafting a
proposed law which will have consid
cradle interest for Racine and other
cities in the state, inasmuch as it will
be presented to the legislature with a
view of driving the tax sharks out of
business. Mr.. Bollow says he thinks
the city should hold the property OF
those that fail to pay the taxes and
give them an opportuny within reas-
enable period to recover it upon the
payment of 10 per cent upon the tax
receipts. He says that from 5000, 600
to 100000 worth of city tax receipts
are bought up by tax sharks each year
and the owners of the property upon
which they are issued are not able to
recover their property without paying
at least 25 per cent upon the tax re-
ceipts.
Another matter that is receiving his
attention is the bad taxes" as they
are known. He believes that the city
has lost since 1841 at least $208, 900 by
reason of the law which prevents the
collection of taxes after the lapse OF
fifteen years. The bad tax" property
upon which the taxes cannot be col
lected, lies mostly in the Seventh and
Fourth wards. He cites piece of
property in the Seventh ward that has
So, 60O.84 assessed against it and which
is worth $48,61O. He attributes the
failure to collect the taxes to the
changes of city administration, one set
of officers being uniformed upon mat
ters that have annoyed previous ad-
ministrations. Racine Times.

Miss Carriers Funeral.

The funeral services OF Miss Laura
Carter were held at the family resi-
denee on the afternoon of the Esd at ?
O'Clock. If there can be any alienation
of the sadness of such an event, the
surroundings welo well calculated to
give it. On the outer door instead of
funeral crepe broad white ribbon held
in its knot three large pink roses.
Within and around the easket mass
of roses and lilies spread their beauty
and fragrance in memory of the young
life gone out. The usual gloom was
absent to great degree and all felt
that the keynote was Christian hope
rather than dark despair.
