Potash for Sugar Beets.s !.

In several foreign experiments with
the culture Of sugar beets noted BY the
department Of agricultu it was found
that whereas nitrogenous fertilizers in
creased the yield Of beets per acre;
they also decreased the sugar content
and purity Of the juice, but that the
application Of potash and phosphoric..
q acid fertilizers improved the quality Of
the beets. The greatest increase in.
sugar was due :to potash fertilizing.
:Beets grown from large seeds gave bet

To handle hogs, take three planks

follow up and drop over the hog and
then walk the hog under the crate, up
the plank on the wagon. In this way

When to Buy MIL Feed.

At this time Of year millers need all
their spare store room to hold grain,
and will sell bran and wheat mid dlings
much cheaper than they can afford to
do laterSin the season. There is often
q saving Of two or three dollars per ton,
even though the price Of grain does not
advance If the mill feed needed for win
ter and spring use is purchased now. If
farmers havesspare room IN their barns
that can be kept always dry they can
proitably use it for storing bran,
though it is very bulky IN proportion to
its cost, and Tor that reason room for:
it cannot be afforded where storage is
expensive. American Cultivator.

SIAM. Million Priests.

According to a lecture on Slam deliv.
cred recently In London by John Bart.
lett. that country has more than lts
share Of priests. The population Of
Siam. he said. amounted to about
6,O0O.OOO. and a curious feature was
the large pr%eponderance Of Chinese,
more especially In Bangkok. The Chi.
nese practically controlled all the trade
and commerce OF the place. There
were hardly any siamese merchants.
One million OF the people were In the
priesthood, He had travelled up river
through the main territory OF Slam for
q distance Of $50 miles, and during the
journey 1t had been absolutely lmpos'

In each temple there were from 10 to
300 priests. supported entirely by tho
people, Or the l,O0O,0OO priests only
100000 were actively engaged. The 70,

Beecher.s witty Retort.

Ward Beecher:
II met Beecher during my first visit
to America, and | heard him preach In
the temple of his ministrations, the
Plymouth church, in Brooklyn. Beech
er's style as a preacher was more like
that Of the pulpit orators who flourish
cd a century or two ago than like the
style of our own more refined or more
conventional days. He never thought
1t beneath himself or his calling to say
an amusing thing In one Of his ermon
II the thought came up appropriately
In his mind. He had a way when he
entered his church on the Sunday Of
taking up any letters which might be
addressed 70 him there, and he ON
times opensd one Of these and read It
out to the congregation and made 1t a
text IN which to hang n discourse.
zone day he opened such a letter,
and he found that 1t contained the
single word Fool He mentioned the
fact to his congregation and then
quietly added, Now l have known
many an instance Of a man writing a
letter and forgetting to sign his name,
but this Is the only instance have
ever known of a man signing his name
and forgetting to write the letter."
