instructions to Beet Growers !.


The sugar company along with its
contracts has issued instructions to
farmers regarding planting, cultivation
etc. among which is noted the following
1t agrees perfectly with the advice OF all
the expert beet growers who have visit
ed this section ant. should be carefully
followed by all farmers: 1.-The past
years experiences has shown how i'm
portant it is to plough deeply. irrjgate
your land thoroughly. As soon as
horses can go OH the land put three good
horses on fourteen or sixteen inch
pillow, with two horses, tuning land
over eight inches deep and follow with
a subsoiler or beet-harvest:ng pillow
(such as used the past season. running
six inches deeper. The increased tom
mage gained by either OF these methods
will pay you well for the extra expense
BY turning up the ground thoroughly
in this manner the beets will grow long
roots, and very little of the beet will be
above the ground. There 10 very little
sugar in that portion which is exposed
and beets grown largely above the
ground are liable to be rejected by the
fact DRY. p Argus.

A considerable acreage ofChino ranch

of the martyred Maine. The two YES

one at Bilbao, the other at Brooklyn.

tons. In her batteries the Spaniard has
TWO l. inch and ten 5.5-nch riff =; the
Maine had four 10.inch aud six 6-nch.
Both ships wore twelve inches of armor
OF their water line belts, and eight or
nine inches on their turrets. Both carry
two tunnels and two military masts with
fighting tops. OF the two vessels the
Maria Teresa was somewhat the more
modern IN her armament, her speed and
her general equipment. she will slip
