Sugar Beet 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
a 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 adj
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 Guilt
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
braska. Three to four inches IL deeI

A Paris correspondent says that
Maisons-Lafitte has been the scene of
a terrible tragedy, which has caused
intense excitement in the neighbor-
hood. M. Muret, an old man of nearly
20, some time ago took a girl of Is,
named Georgette Brunei, into his
service. In a fit of jealousy M. Muret
took a pickaxe and, after having bat
tered out her brains, hanged himself
over the body of his victim.

Some Fertilizer Facts.

If a mineral fertilizer be needed, gen.
eral experience teaches that acid phos-
plate is by far the nor profitable. This
can be still better understood when we
have explained some principles Of acid
phosphate manufacture. The finely
ground lime phosphate rock Is treated
with about an equal weight of strong
sulphuric acid. Chemical changes take
place, so hat a part Of the phosphoric
acid becomes soluble in water. Another
part, though less soluble, is made read
lily available to growing crops; while
a small amount still retains it's insol-
uble and unavailable character. One
other important change has taken
Mace. The sulphuric acid has COM
bined with the lime, making lime sui
phate, commonly called gypsum or
land plaster, so that 1t forms nearly
one-half of the total weight Of the acid
phosphate. It is now well established
that this plaster frees large amounts of
insoluble soil potash, and so makes the
fertilizer element which is so much
the most abundant in u soils avail
able, for plant use. Hence. acid phos-
phate supplies phosphoric acid directly
and potash indirectly. The two or
three per cent of potash in the average
mixture Of acid phosphate and potash
is perfectly justifable, as a small
amount of this element may give the
crop a better start and may ven be a
necessity. Since only a part of the
available phosphoric acid is used dur
ing the first year Of its application. il
has been found best to apply consider
IDLY more than the crop will remove
Three hundred pounds for a soil il
good condition would not be excessive
for general farm crops.
Something should now be said IL
favor of the ammoniated fertilizer
For example, it is often used with prof
it on strong lands when one exhaust
ing crop follows another, as whea
after corn. A little easily available
nitrogen ia furnished, 10 that tn
wheat gets a better start. after which
it can forage more vigorously for it
self.
In conclusion, rely first of all OF
cowpeas and stable manure. Try min
eral fertilizers. acid phosphate in par
~ticular, as valuable helps. Buy aci
phosphate, muriate of potash. and cot
ton-seed meal by themselves, so tina
you can make your own experiment
and mix your W goods to suit you

saws that while the alkaline tablets

American apples have changed hands.
The apple trade with England is
bound to follow the American trade in
meats and expand greatly. This trade
must necessarily be in the winter va
~rieties, such as the Baldwin, green1ng,
russell, willow twig. There is great
room for expansion in the growing OF
these varieties and of varieties in the
same category. 1t means that some OF
our land that is of no use for anything
else can be made remunerative in the
production of apples.
Reports come to us Of the poisoning
of two boys by eating Unison weed.
One Of the boys was dead and the
other in great danger at the last re-
port. 1t would hardly seem reason
able to suppose that anyone, even a
child, would care to eat Jimson weed,
but as such cases do occur the danger
should be guarded against. Jimson
weeds flourish in the vacant lots and
places that have been ~despoiled OF

thing being put in their place. The
weed was illustrated in the Farmers
Review not long since and attention
called to its poisonous properties, but
