Tho Soil for Sugar Beets.

A man should not attempt to grow
sugar beets unless he knows he is in
side what is called the sugar-beet belt.
That belt has been largely defined by
analyses made as to the sugar con-
tents Of beets grown. But when man
finds out that his land is suitable for
the growing of this root he must, II
he wants success, properly prepare the
ground. 1t might also be added that
a man may have place on his farm
where the muck lies deep and rich and
where beets will make big growth.
That land should not be used. He Will
get more tops than beet, and the beet
he gets will not contain enough sugar
to make it acceptable at the sugar fac
tory. The only way he could use such
beets would be to feed them to his
stock. The land used for this purpose
should not contain an excessive
amount of humus, as is the case with
muck land, nor should it contain too
much of the nitrates. It needs good
supply of potash and phosphates.
The soil should be deeply plowed.
and in cases of the hardpan lying near
the top Of the ground, subsoil plow
should be put in. The idea is to get
the soil pulverized, or at least broken
to great depth, so that the tap root
of the beet may find no obstacle in its
downward growth. This extension OF
the tap root is necessary to allow the
beet to keep right on growing through
the time of drouth. as it will thus be
able to tap the water supply far below
the surface of the soil. For this rea-
son it is not advisable to transplant
beets, as the roots become broken and
are not able to reach the water supply
below. OF course If the year happens
to be very wet, with frequent rains
through July and August, the water
supply in the surface soil might be
sufficient for the needs of the beet;
but this condition is not one that can
be depended on.

narrowing.

The harrow is one of the tools that
farmers should study with care, in the
light of the needs of their own soil
and its condition when plowed, for
narrowing is one of the most impor-
tant operations connected with the
preparation Of the soil for crops, and
is scarcely less SO in the case of such
cultivation Of the ground after the
crop is in, says Homestead. Every
body does not see the question alike.
as, indeed, how should they, since the
conditions of one farmer differ so
much from those of another that their
several necessities in regard to it will
greatly vary? There are some soils
that are in such mechanical condl-
ton, and are plcwed in so timely a
way with respect to the moisture that
=; in them, that they turn over under
the plow like bed of ashes and fall
work. Here narrowing is simply a
question of smoothing the surface, and
a tool that will do this answers every
purpose. On the other soils the ploW
leaves the ground lumpy and full ot
holes between the furrow slices, and
levels the surface does not fill the bill
at all. Narrowing in such cases must
consist in breaking up the clods and
cutting the furrow slices to sufficient
depth to settle the soil together and
make it smooth, compact seed-bed
through which the wind will not blow
and evaporate all the moisture it con-
tains, and which will present to the
roots. finely comminuted soil from
which they may extract nutrimenl
presented in an available form. Two
farmers whose soil represents these
two opposite conditions scarcely un-
derstand each other when they talk
about narrowing. An implement that
satisfies all the requirements of the
one is of little or no use to the other,
and results that are all that are neces-
sary il the one case will in the other
lie found worthless.
Outside of plowing matches, where
the best plowmen are on their best
behavior, there is not great deal of
first-rate plowing done on soils that
are a little difficult. We are in the
habit of cultivating areas so large that
q days stint is little too big to do
the work in really artistic way, and
even the best plowmen fall into care
less habits, and the result is that most
fields are full Of uneven places, cloddy
furrow slices, balks and other imper-
fections, unless the soil should happen
to be of the sort that pretty much
plows itself. The task Of making a
mellow, well-pulverized seedbed sufi-
GENTLY deep to take the seed at an
even depth and give its roots chance
to spread themselves without drying
out in the open spaces between clods.
is not only very important one, but
becomes largely a question of good
narrowing and plenty OF it, with tool
adapted to the faults to be overcome.
The narrowing that is done by way OF
cultivation, on the other hand, is quite
another matter. 1t is very necessary,
but it is the surface-stirring, weed
killing, smoothing, mOisture-conserv-
ing kind of narrowing that is needed.
and with an entirely different kind of
a tool. The two kinds of narrowing.
in fact have scarcely anything in COM
mon except the name.

Sugar Beet Pulp - Stock Food.

Sugar Beet Pulp ~ Stock Food.
At the convention Of Michigan live
stock breeders held in Detroit recent
". the use Of sugar beet pulp as ra-
tion for cattle came up for discussion.
F. D. Wells said that pulp had been
tested near the Rochester factory and
the result had been favorable. It had
been fed as much as bushel per head
per day without any i'll effects, and the
animals had done well on it. Mr.. Rob-
erts was having the pulp delivered at
his farm near Jackson from the Bay
City factory. Was feeding it to dairy
cows with excellent results. Prof.
Clinton D. Smith of the State Agricul-
tural College thought the question OF
the value Of beet pulp was not yet
settled, He explained the process
through which the beets were put in
the sugar factory, and thought there
could not be much of value left in
them. Still he was aware that in other
countries the pulp was valued quite
highly.
