Free Beet Seed.

The Agricultural College has received
this spring from the United States de-
partment of agriculture 1000 pounds Of
sugar beet seed, all of which has been
distributed free of charge among the
farmers of the state. Over 800 farmers
have been supplied in this manner with
seed for experimental purposes, and yet
requests come in daily for more.
The college has also sent out numer-
Gus samples of new varieties of potatoes
and of fruit trees to be tested by the
farmers in different localities; and is
testing there in the orchard and on the
campus numerous varieties of Russian
and Siberian fruit and ornamental trees,
with view to introducing those best
suited to the northern climates.

Raising the Sugar Beets.

If he who makes two blades of grass
to grow where but one grew before, is
greater than warrior who taketh
city, what hero he must be who intro
duces a new and probably profitable crop
to the farmers of Illinois.
The Records special dispatches from
PeBin, Illinois, announced the arrival
there of nearly 800 men experienced in
the cultivation of the sugar beet They
will begin the growing of this crop on
large scale at once. II, as seems prob
able, this attempt at raising new crop
proves successful from both agricultural
and commercial points of view, it will
be an important advantage to our farm
era. Heretofore the value of most OF
the products of our farms has been de-
pendent on the price they would bring
in the foreign markets. AS we shall
easily consume more sugar than will be-
obtainable from the sugar beet for many
years to come, it is not improbable that
this root will become fully as valuable
crop as any now grown. At any rate 1t
it is a good experiment to begin its Gull
tivation. Chicago Record.

Pests of the 9eetS,

With the appearance of the beet crop
above the ground comes the report of
pests. The first to reach US is that of
the cut worm which has made its APP
pearance.
There are various cut worms which do
much damage by eating off the small
beets plants in May and June. They
have been found to very large extent
in Nebraska. All of these cut worms
have parasites that usually keep them
from breeding very rapidly, except when
some unusually favorable conditions of
soil or climate occur. The very best
remedy that has thus far been sugges-
ted, and proven by trial, is the use OF
poisoned grasses, or clover. This is done
by taking these substances and tying
them into loose punches and then sprink-
ling them with solution of Paris green
or London purple say table spoonful
TO bucket of water. Then in the even.
ing scatter these poisoned bats over the
field between the rows The worms
will be attracted to them, eat and die.
These bats should be renewed several
times'at intervals of two to four days,
according to the state Of the weather
and the abundance of the worms

The ladies of the Baptist society at
Breckenridge are not the only sugar
planters in the patch. The Methodist
ladies of Bridgeport have contracted
with the Bay City Sugar company for
ten acres.
A German chemist says that while
the spring is earlier in Germany, the
summers are not so hot nor so full OF sun
shine, and this he thinks is the reason
why Michigan easily beats Germany IN
beet raising. The bright, hot summers
put into the beets the elements that are
needed to make sugar.
Dwelling houses are so scarce at caro-
and so much in demand, that even
barns are being fitted up for living
places, and are readily rented at good
prices. While dwelling houses are as
much in demand here on account of the
increase in population occasioned by the
erection of the sugar factory, it has net
reached the point where barns are being
utilized although several who are
working here have been obliged to rent
houses in st. Louis.
1t required every pound of the wheat
and flour exported by the United States
during the fiscal year of 1898 to pay for
the sugar imported The total value Of
all live and dressed beef, beef products
and lard exported during the year bare
ly equaled the amount paid for i'm
ported sugar. Our immense export
trade in cotton represents in value only
twice as much as our imports of sugar.
Our vast exports of tobacco must be
magnified three times to cOunterbalance
our sugar imports. The barley, oats,
and rye, fruits and nuts, hops, vege-
tables, oils, oleomargarine, butter and
cheese, pork and hams that were eX-
ported last year altogether represent in
value only two thirds of the sugar i'm
ported.
J.C. Sioen, the gentleman from De
troit whom we mentioned in this column
last week as being here for the purpose
of contracting with the farmers to cult
vate their sugar beets, informed us the
first of the week that he had secured
contracts for over 600 acres. Many OF
the farmers hereabouts who have been
afraid to contract for raising beets on
account of the scarcity Of help, as soon
as they read in the RECORD that Mr.
Sioen was here for the purpose of re-
lieving them of that trouble, at once ap
piled for acreage contracts with the fac
tory. Mr.. Sioen left on Monday foi
Detroit and will return some time mex
week with his laborers, but in the
meantime if there are any who wish &c
make contracts to have their beets cult
waited they can be accommodated by
calling upon w. A. Bahlke.

Without question, the grain moss
extensively used as an article OF food
all the world over is rice. Hundreds
of million of people chiefly subsist on
it, and its consumption is constantly
increasing. 1t is the principal diet OF
at least one-third of the human race,
formingthe chief food of the native popu-
lations of India, China, Japan, NADIA
gascar; many parts of Africa, and in
fact of almost all eastern nations. The
Burmese and Siamese are the greatest
consumers of it. A Malay laborer gets
through Sc pounds monthly; Bumese
or Siamese 46 pounds in the same
period. The eastern nations also chiefly
obtain their beverages from rice, which
is the principal grain distilled in Siam,
Japan, and China. Saki, or rice beer,
is produced in Japan to the extent OF
$50, 900, 900 gallons annually. Although
rice is such a universal article of food,
it is not SO nourishing as wheat or some
other grains. More than nine-tenths OF
it's substance consists of starch OF
water; consequently it forms more fat
than muscle. The yield of rice is five
times as heavy as that of wheat, the
two crops yearly giving from eighty to
q hundred bushels per acre.

ANATURE-LoVER's WEALTH.

Desire for wealth-Roustt Luxuries
an Error of Mind.
The following extract from an inter
view with John Burroughs, recently
published in Success, contains things
that are well thinking about.
II consider the desire which most
persons have for the luxuries that
money can buy an error of mind. 1t
means nothing except lack of higher
tastes. Such wants are not necessary
wants, nor honorable wants. If you
cannot get wealth with a noble pur-
pose, it Is better to abandon it and get
something else.
peace of mind is one of the best
things to seek-and finer tastes and
feelings. The man who gets these, and
maintains himself comfortably, is
much more admirable and successful
than the man who gets money and neg
lects these. The realm of power has
no fascination for me. I would rather
have my seclusion and peace of mind
This log hut, with its bare floors, is
sufficient. I am set down among the
beauties Of nature, and in no danger
of losing the riches that are scattered
all about. No one will take my walks
or my brook away from me- Flowers,
birds and animals are plentifully pro-
yided. / have enough to eat and to
wear, and time to see how beautiful
the world is, and to enjoy it.

as the area included between consecu-

designated. A point is- thea assumed
tentatively as the center. and correc-
tons in latitude and longitude to this
tentative position are computed. In
1890 the center was assumed to be the
intersection of the thirty-ninth paral-
lei with the eightysixth meridian
west Of Greenwich. The population of
each square degree was assumed to he
located at the center of that square de-
gree, except in cases where it was
manifest that this assumption would
be untrue, as, for example, where a
part of the square degree was occu-
pied by the sea or other large body of
water. or where 1t contained city Of
considerable magnitude which was To-
Gated away from the center. In these
cases the position of the center of the

timated as nearly as possible.
