Sugar Beets.

The remarkable opportunities for the
extension of profitable agricultural in
dustries in this country through the me-
dunn of the sugar beet are duly set
forth in farmers bulletin on the sub
ject by Ell. w. Wiley. Experience has
shown that the sugar beet reaches its
highest development in north temperate
latitudes. AS result of years Of care
full experimentation it may be said that
as far as temperature alone is concerned
the sugar beet attains its greatest per-
lection in a zone Of varying width,
through the center Of which passes the
isothermal line of 70 degrees F. for
the months of June, July and August.
This zone for this country is shown in
the accompanying map from the bulle-
tin here quoted.
This isothermal line, for the United
States, begins near the city Of New York
and passes up the Hudson river to Al

great variety of other drinks, and

our boys and throws some light on
the situation generally. After pre-
facing his statement with the assur-
ance that he sis still 'one of those
volunteer surgeons and therefore
may re acquitted of any white
washing proclivities" he says: ''As
to the trials and discomforts we
have had, they have been very
many, and some of them tried
mems souls, but inasmuch as we
have never been in the habit OF
sending our foraging parties to
gather up all the loose islands in
sight before, and could not reason
ably be expected to have an intui-
tive knowledge of just what would
occur, and just what would be
needed most, I fail to see any very
essential points where things could
have been bettered by the exercise
of ordinary care and discretion,
and that is all the great American
people allow themselves to demand
by law; it is more than they have
been willing to pay for in the army,

sure is all they had a right to ex-
pect when we started out.
"But many of the hysterical let
ters which have been appearing in
the Oregenians which we are now

and simply show that somebody is
playing the baby act Others
are wholly untrue, while some,
those that do the most harm, in
that they stir up our wives an i
mothers and sweethearts because
they think we are suffering out
here are simply exaggerated, but
exaggerated with genius that was
meant for better things.

headings as Sick Soldiers Cry for

official misstatement' spoken of in

term.

AT THE LEGISLATURE.
Our Correspondent at Salem
Predicts a Clean and
Economical Session.

The present legislative session
met in better condition to do busi-
ness than any legislative body
since 1898. The absence of the
excitement, confusion and partisan
spirit which accompanies senator
ial contest is very noticeable. There
is no apparent party division in
either branch of the legislature.
and fusionists and republicans vote
for or against every measure solely
on their Judgment. [ think this
is very noticeable and peculiar to
this legislature for l never saw such
harmony before among parties that
were so widely divergent at the
polls. This augurs we'll for the
enactment of wise legislation and !
predict now that the state will get
it. There are many good bills al
ready presented and many more
talked of, and the only danger to
be apprehended is over legislation;
we are apt to do too much of it.
Up to the afternoon session of
Tuesday, the time of the session
was occupied with organization and
the Inauguration of the governor,
which event took place Tuesday
forenoon. The houses met in joint
session and the platform was oc-
cupied by the incoming and retiring
officers and the judges Of the
supreme court. Governor Lords
retiring message was masterpiece,
and Governor Geer's inaugural is
very highly spoken Of At the
afternoon session 27 bills were in
troduced in the senate and the
balance of the time until adjourn
ment was occupied in the discussion
of the everlasting clerk business,
and then it was only settled tenn
porarily for it is sure to bob up
again before the end of the session.
They have gone through exactly
the same experience in the house.
Most of their time on Tuesday was
occupied debating the clerk propo-
sitlon and it is still unsettled.
Gefe are vafie guesses as 7ee
the number of bills that will be
introduced at this session and
they range from 200 to 500. /
think midway between these figures
will be about the number.
The new state officers are occupy
ing their quarters and have fallen
into line as if they were always
there. They are fine Get of men
and start out we'll, but it is the
home stretch that counts, and let
us hope it may count well for all OF
them.

Plow points are often improperly
sharpened. Some blacksmiths slope the
plowshare all the way to the edge, like
a cultivator shovel. An Orange Judd
Farmer correspondent says: ga point
SO sharpened will always give trouble,
running too deep, and if the ground is
very hard the psint will soon round up,
the plow refusing ample penetration
unless the ground is rather soft. In
working the steel, it is better to heat it
slowly. In tempering, heat to cherry
red and dip in water. When taken out,
if blue color, immerse again, and that
will tougher it. If the plow is rusty, it
is a good plan to oil the share often
with kerosene. In painting ironwork,
an excellent paint is made of graphite
mixed with inseed oil The color is
black, the paint sticks we'll and forms a
fine coating for tin roofs. Farmers
should paint the sheetiron work Oh their
binders and other machinery"

A Daring Spy.

Perhaps the most thrilling expe-
rience remembered by any of the
veterans is the following, told by
Alexander Munson, now member
of Governor Andrew post and for
merly of Maine regiment.
The hero of the incident was Cap
tain Craiger of an Iowa battery. He
had been led by the love of danger
and excitement into scout and spy
duty. The experience in question
was brief, but so charged with peril
and nerve tension that in a few
short hours he seemed to have lived
days and needed long sleep after
it, as though he had been awake for
a week. In a single afternoon he
left his own camp and rode into the
enemy's country, passing two pick
cts, killed a guard, listened to
council of war in the rebel generals
tent, fought his way back through
the pickets, who now knew his mis-
sion, set off the signal agreed upon,
and rode to safety on his unusually
feet horse.
The first picket he met on his way
out was misled by supposing him to
hs spy of their own returning
with information, and from them
he got what sounded Ike the coun-
tassi not, as he discov-
SSz sS gon. he attempted
with It 70 pass the sentry near the
tent of the general. The sentry pull
ed trigger on him, but the cap snap
ped on the musket, there was a
hand to hand scuffie not 100 yards
from the camp, and the sentry was
stabbed to the heart. Clad in the
sentry's uniform, under cover of
the night, he heard from the very
lips of the general and his council
the secret he was in search of-that
the enemy would mass on the left
wing to meet the attack of tomor-
row - sauntered carelessly about
when the council was dispersed, and
then mounted his superb gray and
was off. It was a perilous ride, for
every picket he had passed in the
afternoon fired on him as he rode
through, and it was indeed a charm
ed life that escaped the bullets.
The last picket he had to pass was
numerous and met him with a vol
ley, followed up with a sharp attack
with sabers and revolvers. Shoot
ing, stabbing, slashing and swearing
like fend, wounded and wound
ing, he fought his way through
them and then fled onward, reeling
in his saddle with excitement and
loss of blood until, arrived at the
hollow stump where his rockets
were concealed, he set them both
off, thus giving the desired inform
alton to his own commander. Then,
emptying his revolver at his near
est pursuer, he again rode away,
unharmed further by the shots
which followed him like hail What
added to the bravery of this deed
was the fact that he knowingly
went out to replace scout who had
beoaekilled the night before on the
very Sama mission -RoSton Hara III
