largest proportion comes from the West

about one-third of the words crop; then
Austria, with about as much, and then
France. Russia and Belgium and Holland
together with substantially the same guam

In respect of the production of beet sugar
in the United States there has been a vast
increase since the establishment of the Nc
Kinley tariff in 1890. says the New York
Sun: The year previous the American
product was $500 tons. Two years later
1t was 12.O00 tons. Four years later IL was
10000 tons. Last year it was 1900 tons,

are very strong, especially in the jaw and
feet.
They are great fighters. like their kins-
men. the coons. but much stronger and
they have some sort of an attachment to
their jaw bone at the joint which holds the
jaw fast till they choose 20 slip back the
toggle and let 1t loose So when they get
hold once they stay there, not by muscular
effort. but by keying the jaw as a mechanic
fastens the grip of his nippers by sliding
link on the handles. Very few dogs have
any use at all for a badger. except to
stand on and bark at him. Like coons, they
are fond of green corn. Their work can be
distinguished from that of coons from the
fact that they break down stalks and tear
the nuSkS to ribbons.
Gears do the same, but they carry off the
Iorn, or some Of 1t. and do not disdain
pumpkins. They occasionally ravage the
ieiuS OF corn IN the central northern re-
efons of the state They are nocturnal in
their habits. and secure a clear conscience
and a happy life by sleeping through the
winter, like most of their congeners. They
burrow in the ground and are noted for
the way they can dig. They are built espe-
cially for that purpose, with toes very
short, furnished with strong nails claws,
but those on the forefeet longer the feet
turned outward enough so that the dirt is
easily swept around them from the head.
In this way in any ordinary sand or gravel
they will dig away from any pursuer with
case, filing the hole behind them so nicely
that it Is difficult to track them in the soil.
When pursued they dig crooked, and have
to be followed by sound. They prepare
their burrows very nicely. and are reputed
clean1y TO an excess. They ara the cleanest
and most fastidious of animals about their
home. Their burrow is quite large, and
has but one opening. They depend on their
ability to dig to escape IL that Is blocked.
4 In the oak opening regions in Waukesha
and vicinity mounds of loose soil like those
OF moias were not at all infrequent in early
days. and cattle often broke through into
the burrow, sometimes to their cost IN

a sandy or graveily soil. but he is not
averse to woods and swamp borders where
he can get plenty Of food. He IL of a beau
