Sugar Beet Notes.
ALMA, MICH, oct. ,, 1892.

=
Mr.. EDITOR,
AS the time is drawing near for the
harvesting Of beets, "a few suggestions
along that line may be Of benefit to your
many readers. Farmers having under
five acres can harvest them with pillow,
or several farmers OF locality can club
together and buy a litter. Arrange
your plow to run about seven or eight
inches deep and turn fulrow from your
first row OF beets cutting rs close TO beets
as possible, ard not cutting or bruising
them, pull this row and put them over
the furrow, into piles at intervals of
about 20 feet or more. PlOw "a furrOW
from second row III the same manner,
pulling them ana putting onto same
piles of first row, continue this for eight
rows, and then make new piles close 10
unpulled beets, repeating the same uu-
Ill piles enough are made to form a row
of pits through he field. Smooth off a
piece Of ground for pit, and pick all
stones out of the way, so that when you
come TO haul the beets from pit. you can
fork them right up with beet
fork. In topping, cut all of the wrinkly
part off, as that is the stem of beet, and
side propgs. Place in pits containing 10
bushel or more Have pits about four
feet through at the base, bringing them
to peak, and making them as long as
necessary Tor convenience. Make out
side of pit "a smooth and tight as posi-.
BILE by stopping up AL cracks between
beets with other beets, or better still lay
a tier of beets over outside with the tops
of hapt ont So nc IN form "A FIGHT Surfacp
so that the dirt Will not fall in between
beets too much. Do not use any straw
or litter over beets before the dirt, but
put the clean earth right next to the
beets, as the factory cannot handle beets
with any straw or litter amongst them.
Leave place for ventilation about every
six feet III the top of pits. Six inches of
dirt is enough, and if necessary for
them TO stay into pits until ii gets a
little colder, little straw or manure on
outside will do no harm. II there should
be a spell of very warm weather after
beets are pitted, they should be watched
to see if there is any danger from heat
ing. In harvesting beets with a beet
litter, loosen IL rows at time, then pull
It'll, 18th and 18th rows, counting from
each side of strip loosened, letting beets
fall right down where pulled, them pull
all of the rest of the strip loosened,
throwing them onto these rows that
were first pulled, forming two winrows
through the field about % feet apart.
Make places for pits between these win
rows, topping and casting in all that you
can, and if pits are too small few can
be topped into baskets and put into pits.

RESCUE
Plunge Made Into Icy Waters
 to Save a Life.
FIGHT AGAINST GALES
Captain Hogan SwIms 75 Yards and Brings Harry Worse Hack Half m Hour RevIving Him.

Capt. Jack Hogan, master of the big barge Bjax, in the service of the White Pass X Yukon road, performed one Cf the most heroic acts Of rescue on the bay late night before last that has ever been ehron- ieled in Alaska.
 Harry Morse, engaged in a crew taking coal ashore from the deep sea barge Shir- lev with the aid of the Bj,v, fell over hoard in the chilled, wind-swept waters while attempting to scale ladder on the side of the dock, Hogan plunged from the Bj K and swan $ wards to overtake Morse as he drifted away. Getting Morse across lis breast, Hogan. swimming on his back, reached the scow, The experi- enee of both men and the fact that thev got out alive is the more wonderful for the fact that the thermometer was no less than 20 degrees a owe zero and the wind W blowing a gale.
 Morse was almost dead and lt required half an hour tO resuScitate him. He W S tIken into C,pt. Hogan's cabin, aboard the Bj K, and there given every attention. Mr. Whiting WAS summ ned, and, after diligent and persistent rolling and rubbing, drained the water from the lungs ,f the n, an and r-gf,ta him to tifa
 The docoor avs Morse was blue from the chilling effects of the water, md th.t he was very fortunate indeed to Ni,e.
 Cant. Hogan says he does not know how Morse managed to keep above the water until he reached him It appeared like a miracle.
 The bath seemed to have no bld effects on Capt. Hogan. An hour or two after ward he was about the craft as usual. and helped the doctor in getting ashore. He is a large, robust and fearless man, and has performed other heroic deeds in saving life in Skagway bay. lt was he who went with Mrs. Capt. Tompkins to the rescue of the crew and passengers of ths steamer Mabel not many days ago. He also oi- fered to go out the night before the search for the Mibel while th. wind blew gale and the night was as black as ink.
 Morse was out az in yesterday.
