New Dining Cars.

The Chicago Il North-Western Railway
has greatly improved it's service on the
Chicago Ishpeming line by the addition
OF dining cars, which serve breakfast,
luncheon and supper in the various
trains. All meals are served "a In

undoubtedly be greatly appreciated by
the travelling public between Chicago

Timing wild Ducks.

In watching a flock of wild ducks
flying over our heads we seldom stop
to consider at what remarkable speed
they are travelling. Saturday morning,
while returning from a business trip
to Chicago, Elmer Shank called the
writer's attention to flock Of these
migratory birds flying not fur overhead
and in a direction parallel with that
of our train. They tapped steadily
along, apparently not losing or gaining
a foot of space for considerable
length of time, and when last noted
were still keeping up to the exact
speed of the train. An examination Of
our watches showed the speed Of the
train to be forty-four miles per hour,
which speaks very well for the
strength Of the ducks wings.-Mount

RAISING SUGAR BEETS.
sugGestions A. to Methods That Will
Prove Successful.

sugGestions As to Methods That Will
Prove Successful.
The following suggestions are from
n leaflet issued by the management of
the sugar factory Mt st. Louis Park,
Minnesota:
Perseverance is the foundation of
success.
II thing has to be done. 1t should
be done right or not ut all. The above
two rules apply to all work on the
farm, and especially to the culture of
sugar beets.
Franklin said: IF n farmer plows
deep, he will have to sell and keep"
Sugar beets can he raised on all kinds
of ground from which wheat and bar
ley will give good returns. Sugar
beets should not be raised on muck
ground.
No good results can be expected from
the sugar beet culture II the ground
is not worked carefully and judici-
ously.
On wet soil. or OH soil which contains
stagnant moisture, sugar beets will be
n failure.
The sitter the ground Is. the more
thoroughly the same has to be worked.
Plow for bcets deep, but do not plow
deeper than two inches, compared with
the previous blowing.
If possible. stir the subsoil two
inches for the crop preceding the beet
crop.
With each crop. deepen your furrow
from one to two inches, according TO
soil.
Get your winter plowed sol! In shape
as soon rs tillnblc In the spring.
Soil should be dry enough so 1t
won't stick.
Have seed bed in as good condition
rs possible.
Weeds should all be exterminated.
First. in the spring. harrow the land.
then cultivate from four to five inches
deep. The use Of the pulvcriZer should
be followed by the drag crosswise.
After this roll the soil SO that II will
be packed from two to three inches
deep. Just previous TO seeding. use n
light harrow, which should scratch the
soil from onc-hnlf to one inch deep.
Plant your beet seed the same time
you are used to plant your corn.
Use from eighteen 10 twenty pounds
per acre.
Beet seed should not be put down
more than thrcc-quartcrs of an inch,
and the earth should be well packed
on top of seed.
The heavier the soil, the more sbol.
low the seed should be planted.
Rows should be from eighteen 10
twenty inches apart. and the bcets
from seven TO nine inches.
