Su4or lSoet Experiments In Nebraska.
The sugar beet experiments were
continued in 1899 on land in the Platte
river valley at Ames, Dodge county.
Nebraska. The Standard Cattle Co.,
located at that point. in addition to
furnishing land for the experiment
plots also placed two thousand acres
Of sugar beets at the disposal Of the
station. for experimental purposes. This
area comprised a considerable number
Of varieties Of beets, also soils of diff
ferent character. treatment, cropping.
etc. 1t was thus possible to carry on
q part Of the experimental work on a
very large scale. In spacing beets the
most satisfactory results were obtained
by having the space between the rows
Of beets eighteen inches, with beets
eight inches apart in the row. This ad-
mits OF horse cultivation and yet
brings the plants sufficiently close to-
gether to prevent their growing too
large.
Experiments in 1899 and previous
years have shown that shallow culti-
walton throughout the growing season
is desirable. Deep cultivation dries out
the soil to a greater depth and de-
creases the yield Of beets. This is
true on both heavy and light soil in Ne
brask4. Three to four inches is deep
enough to cultivate and hoe the beets.
The use Of commercial fertilizers and
of barnyard manure increased mate
rally the yield per acre. but not the
sugar content or purity Of the beets.
The advantage to be derived from the
use Of commercial fertilizers Is not suf-
hcient to pay for their cost. With barn
yard manure. however. the Ease is en-
tirely different. and its use either for
Q previous crop or directly for the beet
crop was profitable.

a NOTE OF WARNING.
LorG Salisbury Tells HritOns to Pre-.
pare for Possible Invasion by
Armed Enemies,

pare for al Possible Invasion by
Armed Enemies.
London, May 10.-The annual grand
habitation of the Primrose league
was held in Albert hall yesterday.
The Marquis of Salisbury, grand mas
ter, IN his address said:
MIR. Gladstone, in an evil moment
for the country, attached himself to
the idea OF the separation of England
and Ireland. No one can say the
home rule cause presents any ele-
ments of sanguine anticipation for
the future. | am assured that there
is no hope of the predominant part
ner ever consenting to give Ireland
practical independence. We have
learned something from the South
African war. We now know better
than we did ten years ago what a
risk ii would he if we gave 4 disloyal
government in Ireland the power of
accumulating forces against this
country
Ills references to the possibility of
q coalition of the powers against
England were sensational. He warn
ed his hearers that in this eventual
ity the empire could trust no profess
sions of friendship abroad. but must
own might and he urged the forma
ton of rifle clubs among all classes
and the training of every youth for
the possible defense of the country
against foreign invasion.

Des Moincs, Ia, May 1.-THE Iowa

of political harmony, confidence and

Ciry instructed for Mckinley, filed
with approval of the administration
in all it's acts and in favor of protect

The New York Times tells an incident
chat shows how large ocean steam
ships have become: "Once a little i'm
migrant boy, about seven years old,
was lost for four days on the voyage
over. He left his mother and started
in quest of adventure about the big
ship, but upon growing tired was un-
able to find his way back to her. In
stead of asking some one to show him
where to go, or telling that he was lost,
the young truant decided to continue
his explorations indefinitely. When
found, he was sleeping in an empty coal
box down among the engines. One Of
the crew took him to the captain, who
detailed six stewards to search for his
mother. They found her with some
difficulty, and discovered that She, too.
had been lost, having started out to
look for her son, and not being able
to get to her own part of the ship
again"

ELI PERKINS AGAIN.
Gets Strange Admissions from a.
DyeG-in-the-wo Southern
Democrat.

4 iit Stit't Nhs lh' SfillC
Commercial, Eli Perkins was intro
duced to Judge Scott, an old dyed-in-
the-wool kentucky democrat The
Judge is well known in the Blue Grass
region. and the grand old Kentuckian
has always been looked up to as a
high priest of "befo' the wah democ-
racy."
Perkins was introduced by an old
democrat and Judge Scott supposed
Eli was a democrat, too, and he be-
came confidential with him at once.
How are we democrats getting
along. judge?" asked Eli, in a conf
Dental tone.
The Judge looked at Eli a moment.
TO see if he really wanted information
about the party, and slowly re-
marked:
well, sir, we are getting on very
well, financially, but politically VIC
are running behind. Yes, I'm afraid
we are running behind
What causes this?" asked Eli.
"Well. sir" said the judge, sadly,
81 am afraid our party has not been
altogether right. We have erred in
some things"
Where have we erred, judge?"
well, sir. l hate to admit it, but
our Grover Cleveland policy hurt US
kentuckians. ! wouldn't say it to a
black republican, but we democrats
all admit it among ourselves. You
see said the Judge. eve used to get
35 cents for wool, and a Dig price for
hemp and tobacco, before Grover
came in. but that Wilson bill hurt us.
It knocked wool down to ~ cents.
Free jute. put in to help the cotton
fellows, ruined our hemp and it rotted
in the ground. Then we lowered the
tariff on tobacco and our tobacco
went down on us. We didn't complain.
but we democrats did good deal of
thinking. Cattle and hogs got lower
and lower and when Grover went out
we were pretty poor-yes, dog-on hard
up, sir!''
Are they still bad-the times?"
asked Eli.
NO, honestly, the times are good
Wool and hemp and tobacco have cou.
bled in price and are still going up
Cattle and hogs are high and our blue
grass farmers are getting rich"
"WelI, what is the matter, then?"
"Why. these good times have knocked
out our dear old democratic party.
Our democratic farmers say they will
never vote for free trade or low tariff
again
We'll. what can we democrats do?S
asked Eli.
Il hate to admit it, said the judge,
sadly, but if we democrats want to
win in Kentucky again we've got to
keep the tariff right where it is. That
old Wilson bill and Bryan's free silver
will be a scarecrow to every farmer in
Kentucky and Tennessee. We've tried
low tariff, and we know-I'm ashamed
to say So but we know it hurt us! No,
sir, the people are prosperous, but our
democratic party is doing poorly. |
wouldn't say it to a black republican,
but that is the way we democrats talk
among ourselves
AS the judge got off the train at Lex,
ington ne remarked: Yes. and there
was another mistake we democrats
made. Grover Cleveland wanted to
sink the republic of Hawaii and put a
nigger on the throne. We democrats
didn't complain. but. it made us sick,

A timely contribution to the discus
sion of American rights abroad was
.,.,m made at the meet
ing of the Ecu
menical conference
in New York city recently. The
speaker was Hon. James b. Angel,
president of the University of Mich
igan and former minister of the Unit
ed States to Turkey, and his theme
was "New Problems in the Relation of
Missions to Government" President
Angel spoke with the temperate Ian
guage that comes with complete
knowledge and that carries conviction,
reports the Troy Times. The speaker
enumerated two fundamental propo-
sitions: First, the Christian mission
airy in pursuing his vocation abroad is
entitled to the same protection-no
more and no less-than is deserved by
otLer American citizens engaged in
business in the same country. That
protection is determined by treaties
and by general international usage.
Second, the government is bound to
give the missionary the same protec-
ticn that is given to any other of its
citizens abroad. This dlsavowal at a
missionary conference of desire for
any preferential relations of mission
aries, but insistence that they shall
be treated as well as others, is so SEN
sible that it will meet instant approx
al throughout the country. President
Angel remarked that foreign govern
ments, even in the Chinese and Otto
man empires, were disposed to treat
missionaries more fairly than were
the critics at home of missionary en-
terprises. Prosecutions and annoy
ances in those empires of missionaries
usually spring from animosity toward
foreigners and not from special an
tipathy to missionaries. This fact
pointed President Angell's hint that
to secure protection for all Americans
abroad, in oil sorts of trade and bust
ness, it was necessary to protect those
IlOutCIS, lIe NuIISLIuu missionaries.
1t is almost superfuous to say that
the distinguished speaker warmly
commended the vigor with which the
United States is now pressing it's
claim upon Turkey for reparation for
damages to missionary property. He
also considered that a naval demon
stration would be justifabIe, as not,
by large margin, meaning war, but
as conveying an object lesson that the
oriental would understand and re-
spect. And a United States warship
in the orient means more now than it
did two years ago. President Angel
distinctly declared against any gov
ernment interference to advance
Christianity or to revenge religious
persecution as such. But he held with
clearness and force that whenever a
missionary was deprived of his rights
as an American citizen the protecting
duty of the government to it's citizens
abroad began. This was logical con-
clusion sensibly developed
