Mr.. w. j. Bryan has recently de-

armed force III the Philippines until a
stable government is established there.
Inasmuch as this declaration was maze

as a compromise with the enthusiastic
war sentiment OF that section for GER
tainly it does not harmonic with Mr..
Bryan's eastern speeches on that subject.
If he is in favor of compelling the
forces to lay down their arms who in
augurated an attack upon the American
flag, and then in favor further of keep
ing an armed force in the Philippines
until a stable government is estab-
hshed,' Mr.. Bryan is very good re-
publican on that question. But in that

free from frost and be covered up the
same day they are harvested.
We would advise making five to seven
pits to the acre, placing not less than
two tons in each pit.
When ready to pit, lift the beets from
forty to forty-hve rows with a horse
harvester. These loosened beets must
then be pulled out of the ground by
hand and thrown in piles. It is advis-
able. in case the strip you have lifted
contains forty.five rows, TO make pile
every six rods the length of the strip,
and as this section of forty-five rows is
about four rods wide and six rods long,
each pit would thus contain the beets
from twenty-four square rods (about
one-seventh of an acre.. To prevent
unnecessary handling it is advisable to
first pull out the beets from the middle
of the marked twenty four square rods,
placing them in such shape as TO make
a vacant place i'll the center, of about
one rod and two rods long, then to pull
the balance of the beets, throwing them
into > winrow close to and surrounding
this vacant spot When this is finished,
top the beets cat the base of the bottom
leaves with one stroke of the knife and
throw them in the vacant place, with
the roots lying toward the center of the
pitt, making Il slanting pile four feet
wide and not over three feet high, the
length of the pile depending entirely
upon the yield. After all the beets are
TOPPED and piled up in proper shape,
cover the pile with six inches of dirt,
being careful not to have any leaves or
straw on the beets or mixed with them.
1t is generally advisable not to put
much more than six inches of dirt over
the beets in October, but to keep them
free from frost, you should cover the
pit before the weather gets cold, say
about ten days or two weeks after har.
vesting, in any case before hard frost
sets in, evenly with five to six inches Of
loose straw, and place about two inches
of dirt on top of the straw to prevent it
from blowing away and for the purpose
of packing it, as when we'll packed it
will best keep the cold air out of the pit,
Thus the covering in the end will be
composed of six inches Of dirt, two inches
of packed straw and then two inches
more of dirt.
In an ordinary season such covering
should keep your beets from freezing,
but should there be exception ally cold

Rear Admiral Dewey arrived in New
York harbor on Wednesday morning,
two days ahead of schedule time, but
then Dewey has habit of doing the
unexpected and surprising the entire
world thereby. The flag ship, Olympia,
steamed in the harbor of New York at
the early dawn similar to the manner in
which she entered the harbor of Cavite
May /, little over one year ago, but
on far more peaceable mission. This
time she bore the greatest naval hero
OF modern history to his native country
and TO a people who were waiting to do
homage 10 the nobleness and greatness
of a man who could enter the harbor of
a hostile nation and after giving battle
TO the enemy for a few hours, withdraw
his ships while his men rested and were
refreshed at breakfast, then resuming
the battle and destroying the enemy S
entire fleet. Every loyal American will
today feel his bosom swell with pride
that such q man is a native of this
country. Business houses will be decor
ated in honor of the event, bells will be

HOW TO PIT TIE BETS.
AS to the best method of doing this,
we would suggest the following plan
In the first place do not harvest your
beets until they are ripe, as green beets
do not keep as we'll in the pits as ripe
ones, and besides, should you harvest
when too green, they might contain less
than the necessary IL per cent. of sugar
with purity of 73 per cent
In an average season no beets should
be pitted before October 10, and if the
weather is warm, it would be better to
wait until the Goth, but in no case should
the beets be allowed to remain unhar-
vested-and not pitted until the ground

Pupils who live outside the city linn.
