replied: 1--WE got no money. I've got

great dread and will not go near him. They would not think of touching one. even after he had been caught and was quite dead and harmless in big bottle of alcohol. They call him the "scuttle'' and are extremely careful to keep out of waters he frequerts To break up a native bathing party it is only neces- sary to say ''scuttle" ard they will come scampering to shore.
 The horror that the devilfsh inspires makes Mir. Verrill's way of catching him all the more interesting, for he goes out in his boat. waits until he spies | the long. wriggling arms of the octopus below him. jumps overheard. grabs the l devil of the deep in his arms and brings him in triumph to the surface.
 To dive 20 CT 90 feet after cne of these ugly creatures-the ugliest thing Of its size that eXists-and struggle with the bare hands against it in it's natural eIe- mcnt is fsat considerably out of the ordinary. One must dive straight for the body. and, endeavor o grab it from the top. More often than net the crea- ture will see you coming through the water and dodge by padding away with us IO1l8 dI HIS.

 But you must grasp him firmly with your hands at the throat near his beaK, otherwise he may slip away, as he will try to do at first, or possibly will strike a dangerous blow with his strong beak, like birds. which he will try to use q s soon as he finds that he is caught. TC do this. he tries to turn over, and grasp his opponent with his long, sucking arms to give him courage. If the divers grip is good. it is now only question of rising to the surface and getting into the boat with the poor sea devil.
 When he gets in the boat the ''scuttle'' keeps up the fight and strikes furiOusly at the woodwork with his parrot-lille beak. clutching everything within reach with powerful arms, which fasten themselves to the sides of the boat.
 Mr. Verrill declares this kind of devil fishing to be the most exhilarating sport known. for there is not only the excitement of danger, but the combat, with the horrible sensation in feeling eight cold, writhing arms of the grue- some sea spider clutching ones body and sticking to it in a death struggle under the water.

beet sugar ard beet mclasses as rule unfit for table use. It will be, however, an interesting object lesson to our farmers to demonstrate the fact that the sugar beet itself contains sugar, and that the latter can be made in the crude way I have mentioned above.
 In, this way the making of sugar in small way by farmers may prove a stimulus to the industry and do great good. Farmers, however, should not be deceived by the expectation of being way commercially. The successful and profitable manufacture of sugar can only be accomplished in expensive fac tories equipped with all the appliances necessary to make pure refined sugar Only the pure refined beet sugar can ever become an article of commerce In this the beet differs from the sugar sugar which. even in the crude state, is palatable and marketable; in fact many people prefer crude cane sugar to the refined article on account of it's containing the aromatic principles of the cane, which give it an odor and fla vor very acceptable to most palates. trust that any of your readers who may undertake the manufacture of beet sugar in the crude way l have men, toned above may do so only from the point of view indicated. and not with the expectation of making it commer- cial success.

A THRILLING SPORT.
Catching Devilfish Alive and With
 the Bare Hands. a.,1~
Yale Student Has Invented q New PiScatOrIaI Pnstime Which. How ever, Will Not Prove q POpu-
 lar Success.

Devilfishing is quite the newest, and at the, same time the most curious and exciting. sort of sport. according 10 the New York Herald. The ethics of the game are. first, that you must catch the creature alive, and, secondly, that your sole equipment be bathing suit and q at-bOttOmed boat. Indeed, one may do very well at the sport and leave out the bathing suit. This method of devil fishing is q Yankee invention, and was used for the first time last summer by Clarence Nerrill. a Yale student, on a visit to the Bermudas. the beautiful semi-tropical islands of the West h. dies. A dozen splendid specimens of the octopus, or devilfish, which MT. Nerrill has just presented to the mu- scum of Yale university are the results of his novel fishing trip. These huge sea spiders measure from four to five feet from tip to tip, and are Ofa grayish color. They were black and larger when Mir. Nerrill caught them, but they shrink and change color out of water. Every body knows what the devilfsh looks like-a great circle of wriggling arms attached to a small round body. When you see him making his way in
 dolently along the bottom of the ocean under your boat he looks like a huge spider, and seems just about as un
 pleasant an object to meet in the water as q big tarantula would be in his fa- vorite perch at the top of a cocoanut tree. The devilfish Of the West InGies are seldom larger than five fee from tip to tip, but the natives tell of some very large ones that measure eight feet across. The negroes of Bermuda, Mir. Nerrill says, regard the octopus with

APPEARANCES COUNT.
Why It Pays Always to s'Put the Best
 Foot Forward"


 Appearances are sometimes deceitful, but they are not altogether untrust- worthy. We are all compelled to de- pend upon them very largely in form ing our estimation Of things and per sons around us. We judge of grow ing crop or an animal by appearances; we are influenced in our opinion of the farm hand who applies to us for work b. his appearance; we like or do not like ''his looks" But as a class farmers have been so intent upon the real thing that we have often overlooked the i'm portance of appearances. We often for get that others judge US and our work solely by the appearance we make, and we do not give enough attention to mere appearances. It is mistake. Many a good product of the farm brings a much lower price than it deserves simply be- cause it's appearance has not been made the best possible. Many a farm is sold greatly under it's real value because the owner has not taken the care to give it d neat and attractive appearance, and many worthy farmer with the soul of a true man, brave and noble and wise, has passed for boor because he has neglected his personal appearance Farm products are not knicknacks; the farm is not pleasure park; the farmer is not a dude, but they are all worthy careful consideration. and the farm. the farmer and the farm products. if they are to create the best impression upon the world, must each put his best foot forward" Look after the appearances.

BEET SUGAR MAKING.
Process by Which Farmers May Pro-
 Gucc the Article.

In reply to an appeal from the Epit- Omist Publishing company of Indianap- oils asking for some process by which farmers may produce beet sugar at home in q small way for their own use Dr. H. N. Wiley, chief chemist of the United States department of agricul- ture at Washington, expresses his views as follows: The production of a crude beet sugar in small way is an extreme
 ly simple process. Any farmer who is equipped with q cider mill for rasp- ing the beets, cider press for express ing the juice and an evaporator suitable for making sorghum molasses can pro- duce crude beet sugar. As rule this sugar will not be very palatabl2, because it is not refined and contains the salts and bitter principles which make raw

OAK TREES FOR FOOD STORAGE
Red-Headed Woodpecker of California
 Supplies HIS Winter Provender.

Within the yard surrounding the home of David s. Jordan, president of Stanford university, at Palo Alto, Cal , is a very large live oak trae some three feet through which is an object of much interest to visitors. The trunk for about len feet is bored full of holes and into each hole an acorn is driven every fan by the red-headed woodpecker A group of the birds gather about the trunk of a tree an then bore holes into which they ham mer ncorns fitting so closely that they cannot be pulled out by the fingers. In the acorns are the grubs of some beetle. During the winter and early spring. when food is scarce, the acorns are pulled out and the grubs devoU-ed In the succeeding fall the holss are filled with acorns again and thus win ter after winter the red-held, as he is called, makes the oak trees h-s food warehouse.
 The tree in President Jordan's yard is not the only one in that part of Cal ifornia that has been punctured by the woodpeckers but it has mere acorn holes in it's trunk than any other cn record. The woodpeckers also ham mer the nuts under the shingles Of houses.-Kansas City Star.

All Anina1. neouire Lime.

Lime is necessary for animals as we'll as for the land, but lime salts exist in the food, predominating in some kinds more than in others. Corn and wheat grains contain but a small proportion of lime, and hence young animals or dams that are to produce young require other foods than grain. Clover hay contains over 20 times as much lime as corn, while bran is also rich in mineral ele- ments. Leg weakness, slow growth and lack of vigor are frequently the result of foods containing but little lime.
