Teypiug Ewes,

AS the time for lambing approaches
the coarse, dirty wool about the ewes
buttocks and udder should be cut
away and saved. This should always
be done before any succulent feed is
given to the ewes to make them give
milk. Usually this tegging in the
olden time was done just before the
ewes were turned out to grass. But
ii the ewes have silage OF roots it is
important that the tegging be done
early. In many ewes the wool grows
over the udder, SO that the lamb finds
it almost impossible to reach the teat.
We have seen many lamb get hold
of piece of wool, often only a teg.
and suck away until completely dis
gusted because it did not find the nu-
tritious milk it was looking for.

THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
Promises Much For States Favored With Proper
Climatic Conditions
NEW CASH CROP FOR FARMERS.

At Binghamton, Broome County, N
T., is located factory which man u
factures each day during the working
season from twelve to sixteen tons of
pure granulated sugar. The popular
notion usually associates sugar with
sugar cane and with tropical climates.
But this popular notion must change,
for the sugar supply of the world will
soon be manufactured from the beet.
Two factories are now in operation in
New York State, one at Binghamton
tory is also located at Bay City, Mich.
Other factories are being planned in
New York and Michigan, and it will
be but a short time before this indus
try of the manufacture of sugar from
beets will come into wide prominence.
So important is the industry likely to
become that description of the Bing-
hamton factory and the methods of
extracting the sugar from the beets
will prove of interest.
The factory is located some three
miles from the city of Binghamton on
the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
Railroad. The main building is a
substantial brick structure, and the
storage room for the beets is partially
provided for by four mammoth sheds,
each AGO feet long, sixteen feet wide,
and twelve feet high. 1t was thought
that these sheds would furnish suf-
ficient storage room for the beets, but,
from the photograph, it will be seen
that many carloads have been dumped
upon the ground; indeed, there are
apparently more upon the ground than
in the sheds, and they are being re-
ceived from the farmers at the rate OF
100 carloads each day In the spring
of 1898 some 1000 acres of beets were
contracted for; the farmers agreeing
to raise the beets aad the company
agreeing to pay S. per ton for the
same.
Upon the arrival at the factory the
beets are unloa led from the cars into

sugar, about $50 pounds of sugar can
be secured. The Importance of high
grade beets is very great, and the diff
ference between beets containing
twelve per cent. sugar and beets con-
tanning fifteen per cent. sugar may
mean the difference between profit and
loss. To illustrate this point, the
Binghamton factory has capacity of
800 tons of beets per day, and the
working season consists of about 100
days. If the 1000 tons of beets used
contain fifteen per cent. sugar, the
output will be about Z, 800, 900 pounds
of sugar. If the beets contain only
twelve per cent. sugar, the product
will be only some 100000 pounds.
This difference of 2,100, 900 pounds of
sugar is an important consideration and
accounts for the desire of factories to
secure high grade beets.
The new industry promises much
for those States which are favored
with proper climatic conditions. It
makes new cash crop for the farmers,
who are able to net from $25 to $50
per acre. It opens a new channel for
capital and the investment under
proper management is a safe one. The
important problem now is to secure

Lucky Dredging For a Diamond.

Dredging has been successfully re,

Street Golf,

Within the past few weeks a mania
for playing golf on the streets has
taken full possession of the small
boys in every part of town. How the
so-called game originated can no more

ming of the child's play of 'London
Bridge is Falling Down. The only
resemblance of golf as played by the
gamins of the street and the ''real

ables on the golf links, seems to be
that in both games clubs and ball
are used. Instead of putters. brasseys,
niblicks and lofters the street urchins
arm themselves with any old kind of
clubs and drive the ball furiously
back and forth between the two OPP
posing sides. In its general features
the street game resembles hockey,
but it has been dubbed "golf," and
by that name it will probably continue
to be known to every small boy in

the imperial family as its heir to the
throne; the latter the royal family.
Prince Victor has recently declared
that the story relating how he had
"abdicated" in favor of his brother
Louis is by no means true. He is, he
says, the rightful heir to the imperial
throne, and he has not given up, nor
will give up his right for anyone. He
is the son of the late Prince Victor
Louis Napoleon, better known as
Plon-Plon, and the Princess Clotilde
of Savoy. He has been living in
various places throughout Europe ex
cept in France, and his party is by no
means weak organization. Prince
of Orleans is the eldest son of the late
Count of Paris and is thirty years old.
At twenty-one he entered Paris and
expressed his desire of doing mill
tary service, but he was conducted to
the Swiss frontier with the advice to
remain away from France in the fu
ture. This affair won for him the
title of the premier conscrit. The
young prince makes his headquarters
in Brussels and has very powerful!

the old nobility of France. If the
Republic falls these two factions
royalists and imperialists--will have
a pretty problem to settle the question
of government between themselves.

go in case the revolution comes there

lime is precipitated with the impuri-
ties which it has absorbed. After
passing through various mixing tanks,
the juice passes to the filter presses.
Here the juice is forced through cloth
and comes out almost as clear as wa
ter. After passing through two sets
of these filter presses, the juice goes
to the bleaching process. This is
done by means Of fumes of sulphur.
The juice is made to drip slowly over
a board filled with holes, and the sui
phur dloxide is brought into intimate
contact with every drop. All of these
processes are preliminary to the
.'boiling down." After bleaching, the
juice goes to what is called the cripple
effect vacuum pans" These pans are
simply large upright boilers which
have had the air partially exhausted
by means of pumps. The liquid boils
violently in them at temperature of
seventy degrees Fahrenheit, and the
"boiling down" is greatly fastened.
From the first boiling the juice goes
to the sulphuration tanks, where it is
again bleached. After passing again
through the filter presses, all traces of
sulphur and other impurities are re-
moved. The ''boiling down" is then
completed in vacuum pans The next
operation is performed by the centri-
fugals. In these rapidly revolving
cylinders the molasses is thrown off
from the particles of sugar. The prin-
ciple is the same as in the common
milk separator, where the cream is
thrown out from the milk. The sugar
is very damp after being separated
from the molasses, and is dried by be-
ing passed through long, slowly re-
volving cylinder. This cylinder is
raised at one end and the sugar is
slowly moved along, passing over
heated steam pipes until finally it
comes out of the other end of the
cylinder as crystalized sugar.
The most troublesome product to
handle is the molasses, which is sepa-
rated from the sugar by the centri-
fugals. 1t is stored in large tanks in a
room heated to atemperature of about
lis degrees Fahrenheit. After remain
ing there for three weeks, it becomes
partially crystallized and is then taken
out and run through the mill again,
and portion of the sugar is extracted.

the sheds or upon the ground in the
yard. Underneath each shed, and
running it's entire length, is sluice-
way through which runs water which
has been heated to the boiling point
in the factory. The beets are rolled
into this sluiceway and the current is
sufficient to carry them to the factory.
The warm water so soaks and loosens
the dirt that it is easily removed when
the beets get to the washing machine.
When the beets are unloaded into the
sheds the hand work upon them is
completed, and from that time they
are carried forward by water or by
machinery. AS they near the end of
the sluiceway they are seized by a
screw elevator and raised to the fac
tory, where the first operation is the
washing. They are dumped into large
tanks where revolving arms attached
to horizontal axis thoroughly churn
them around and constantly work
them forward toward the clean water.
They pass from the first washing tank
into second one, and here the pro-
cess is repeated and the beets are
thoroughly cleaned. From the wash

! FOR FARM AND GARDEN. !


The feed of sliced bone for hens is
much more than so much grit in the
gizzard to enable them to digest their
food. 1t is itself food of the very best
sort to make eggs, furnishing the gela-
tine for the eggs and lime for the
shell. Dried, cooked OF burned bones
are not nearly so good, as the gelatine
has been expelled from the bone, and
its lime is also in less soluble condi
tion than while it is in the green state.
But hens gizzard is equal to the
task of grinding up almost anything.
A diet of green bone and whole wheat
is probably the best of all for egg pro-
duction.
