sugar of the highest purity, with
beautiful crystalline appearance. This
is nearly 100 pounds per minute per
minute. The beets here reach perfect
maturity, with very high percentage
Beets seldom go below Is per cent; II
per cent is taken as the basis of buy
ing beets at the factory.
The beets are grown by the farmers
under contract with the factory and
paid for according to the saccharine
content determined by chemical tests
made of samples taken from the wa
CONS at the time of delivery. Besides
that the factory controls about 5000
acres of laid. Most Of this land will
be farmed by tenants, but only por-
tion of each leasehold is devoted to
beets each year. Beet raisers sell theil
beets based upon the sugar content.
The tests somewhat resemble the as
saying of ore from the mines. Selling
upon this basis encourages better
farming and the raising of better
beets. 1t is the only fair way, both
to the raiser and the manufacturer. At
Sugar City farm of 10000 acres has
been opened for raising sugar beets
and a sugar factory has been built
with capacity of 500 tons every "a
hours. On the farm 900 men and wo-
men have been employed during the
summer, and this seasons crop VIII
be converted into sugar which will be
sold in various big markets. The es-
tablishment of the sugar factory at
this point built the town, which few
years ago consisted of a hut or two
and thousands of prairie dogs, sum
total. Next year fully 1000 acres Of
beets will be in cultivation. The out
put viii be increased as rapidly as pos
sible, and every day the demand for
workmen is now Observation-Disclosures

The Grit-advocate., 1900-11-30

The operation of the National Beet
Sugar company in Colorado has re-
suited in the completion OF three
plants, one of which produces sugar
from last seasons crops. They are 10
Gated at Grand Junction, Rocky Ford,
and Sugar City. When all are we'll
under way thousands of hands will be
employed and the money thus put into
circulation will go into the common
Golfers of the people. The worlds pro-
duetion and consumption of sugar is
now about S,25O,0OO tons per annum,
two-thirds OF which is produced from
beets and the other fraction from su-
gar cane. 1t is estimated that the
normal consumptive demand Is in
ereasing at the rate of 100000 tons
yearly. Statistics indicate that this
country consumes more sugar than
any other nation, or about one-third
Of the worlds product. The condi
lions of soil, climate and other advan-
tages are quite as good in the United
States, and especially in Colorado,
for the development of the beet
its sugar extraction as in any of the
countries Of Europe and Asia. 1t has
been satisfactorily demonstrated that
the cultivation of sugar beets In Colo
RADIO may be perfect success. A large
plant has been built at Rocky Ford,
Otero county, which cost, it is claim
ed, 100000 to build and equip. To
supply it the farmers in the vicinity
have contracted to grow $4,000 acres of
beets year for five years. From tests
made, they claim their beets will
yield Is to 10 per cent sugar. 1t is
proposed to have it ready for the crop
the coming season. The factory, when
running at its full capacity, consumes
daily 1000 tons of beets. This 1t con-
verts into about 100 tons of refined

Horse with Taste for Dainties.

One of the Erie ferryboats leaving
Jersey City about a. M, when pas
senger traffic is heaviest, may usually
be seen a gray express horse who has
way of his own of securing dainties.
AS the ferryboat approaches her slip
and the crowd swarms in the wagon
way he begins his antics. Getting
close to a man in front of him he ad-
ministers with his nose a push be-
tween the shoulders which sends the
victim with a rush against his fellow
passengers. Then his horseship
swings from side to side till from
someone who knows his weakness a
lump of sugar or an apple is forth
coming. When that has disappeared
down his capacious throat the horse is
on his best behavior.-New York Sun.

Sunday game between Brainerd and

Of the paper and says in addition:
THE game was will attended, as
local interest in the sport runs high.
Manager LaJ ole and hackers of the
Brainerd team are considering ways
and means for securing an inclosed
field and a small grand stand.
Should a league of the teams in this
section be formed, the movement to
obtain a park would probably carry.
Should league be forn,ed, three Of
the cities represented would be St.
Cloud, Little Falls and Brainerd.

aggregation against which Brainerd
has failed to win thus far this

TALK OF ANOTHER RAILROAD.
Capt. Reed, Of Glencoe Was Here in the
Interests of the Proposed
New Railroad.

Capt A. H. Reed, of Glencoe, and
G. NJ. King, OF South Haven, arrived
in the city Wednesday evening, and
remained until Thursday noon, con-
sulting people of this place about
the route of: the Duluth, st. Cloud,
Glencoe and Mankato railroad,
which they are promoting. A sur
veying party is now in the field, and
will soon reach st. cloud. The
gentlemen who were here felt that it
would be of advantage to the line to
reach Little Falls or some other
large lumber manufacturing point.
They were not prepared to make any
proposition, and do anything def
uite at this time. They desire to
have local assistance in securing a
survey from St. Cloud to Little
Falls, and it is possible that such a
survey can be obtained by local help.
Capt. Reed is the moving spirit in
the plan to build a line OF railroad
north and south Of Glencoe, and he
is secured the active cooperation OF
the leading men in several communi-
ties.
There is no doubt but the people
of Little Falls and Morrison county
will do all that can be reasonably
asked of them whenever the matter
comes before them in form to, act
upon .55z4 Nt@ M Ut & ssrsAs tz:'zss
1t is hoped by the promoters to do

How to Say It.

The Minneapolis Lumberman, in
common with all trade journals, has
a. department. devoted to advertise
ing, and weekly wise advice is given
to dealers in regard to that subject.
The advice is generally such as is of
benefit to any retail dealer. We
quote the following from recent
issue:
Inotice. that1 a good many men
who undertake to write their own
ads get the idea that "How to say
it, is the all-important thing to con-
slider. Some strivefor the production
of euphonious terms and epigram-
matte phrases. Others work just as
hard in effort to make their ads
severely colloquial. Both lose sight
of the fact that the particular func-
ton of an advertisement is to sell
goods. They seem to imagine that
it is for the sole purpose OF display
ing their literary ability, and inject
into it all sorts of phrases-logical
jimcracks that may sound to them
smart or cute. The result is that
while the I'D may make pretty fair
reading, its power for doing good is
buried in the effulgence of rhetoric.
Naturalness is the ideal quality to
give an ad. would rather have an
ad of mine be natural, even II it
sounded stiff, than awkwardly COLO
quail or even cute.
Now mind. don't object to COLO
quialisms. use them largely my
self. But I don't stop and think
hard to make them sound 'just So"
1 believe that every ad that I write
is just as natural as 1 would say the
same thing. If talking to some one.
But after all, it is not so much a
matter of chow to say it, as it is of
"what to say"
If an ad tells something which the
people want to know, they won't
care very much how it is told. II
they get the desired information,
they will be just as well satisfied If it
comes through the medium of very
plain ad as they would be If they got
it from a fancifully worded effusion.
Be plain; be simple; be forceful; be
logical; be truthful-and the chances
are that your advertising will pay
better.

London Papers Commenting in a

Paul Quotes the
Psalmists.

London, Jan. 1G, 1 a. m.-Gen. Bull
ler's latest authentic word as to
what he and his &c, 1000 men are doing
was wired from Springfield after his
first forward step. Strivingto think
out the unknown, London is con-
fused by surmIse and rumor and dis
quieted by suspense. Spencer Wilkin-
son, the lucid military expert OF the
Morning Post, asserts that the Boer
force In northern Natal Ia larger than
Gen. Buffers and Sir Geo. Whites
forces together, so that the Beers are
able to leave a force around Lady
smith larger than that within the
town and yet to oppose Gen. Butler
with a force superior to his own.
Reports from the BOer camps affirm
that the circle OF investment has
been drawn closer by the occupation
OF some hills nearer the town, thus
%liberating re-enforcements to oppose
Gen. Butler.
