usually will have less weight with So
called practical men than simple, COM
mon sense reasoning.
The Importance of clear expression
and convincing argument in the work
of a mechanical engineer will appear
forcibly under the sharp and not
always considerate criticism of super
iors, and opinions put in the form
of reports of investigation must
stand criticism if they are to become
precedents for practice. A reputation
for clear and correct reasoning and
painstaking search to the bottom of
things will be very helpful. and it will
pay to prepare in every possible way to
get such name.
The late David L. Barnes once advised a
young engineer to acquire, if possible,
the reputation for being "hustler," be-
cause, when once so considered, the idea
would be permanent among his friends.
Rapidity, combined with accuracy and
thoroughness, should be sought for. It
is surprising to what an extent these
may be acquired by practicing intensity
of application.
There has been tendency for techni-
cally educated young men to seek work
which was congenial and most directly
in line with their studies, positions in
mechanical engineering being particu
larly attractive. This is illustrated by
the preponderance Of applications for
mechanical engineering positions by a
large number of young men, graduates
of technical schools, who have recently
expressed their preferences. The rail-
road mechanical engineer is very i'm
portant and useful official, and his posi-
tion is highly desirable one, with in
tensely interesting duties. The demand
however, is for small number of such
officers, while large number of execu-
tives are wanted On the Pennsylvania
Railroad proper there are sixteen master
mechanics and only one mechanical
engineer. This is probably fair pro-
portion in the opportunities. To one
who has studied the situation, it appears
that there is demand for men who
can direct departments and undertake
minor responsibilities as foremen and
general foremen.
Promotion of young men on several
railroads is very carefully managed, and
whenever possible, the higher position is
given in another shop ,and not the one in
which the advancement has been earned.
This is mentioned because it recognizes
feature of human nature which shonld
be understood because of it's bearing
upon the foundation work of young

purpose at present to write more of
the sugar plant, and beet sugar industry,
as it is one in which I have ever held an
abiding faith, as to it's adaptability to
Nebraska soil and climatic conditions
that it can and will become of immense
value to the state as an agricultural
factor.
may be pardoned for stating in this
connection tnat in the year 1872, made
direct importation of sugar beet seed,
experimental, and induced others to ex.
pertinent in the culture of beets, and
through the chemical department of the
Nebraska State University, had ana
lyzed beet products, showing a high per
cent. of saccharine yield. From that
date until the first sugar beet factory
was erected at Grand Island, I both
wrote and spoke much to encourage the
introduction of this industry in Me-
braska.
Sugar Making.
The factory at Ames was erected by
individual enterprise, without subsidy,
or aid other than provided by Legislative
enactment for the sugar product. For
these reasons confess to feeling Of
more anxiety for it's success than for the
factories at Grand Island and Norfolk.
Under these impressions, in so far as
was individually concerned, the visit
here indicated was made.
From personal observation, together
with a volume Of carefully kept record
information as to this plant, all was
most gratifying. Every process and
operation from seed planting, until the
finest grade granulated sugar is turned
into sacks for commercial use, is of the
most systematic, latest improved order,
plan and purpose. Every minutia is
considered and conducted from this
standpoint. The result is, the manager
knows at all times exactly the cost,

waste every particle is utilized; every
process is plain even to an unframed

for double the present working capacity.
The aggregate area of beets contracted
for this year, for use at the Ames beet
sugar factory, is 1900 acres OF this
the company furnished 1000 acres ten
ants 625 acres, aud outside growers 1915
acres. From this acreage 30 900 tons of
beets were consumed. The minimum
sugar content or yield this year was 200
pounds of granulated sugar per ton of
beets. The climatic conditions of 1900,
for highest per cent. saccharine yield,
were not propitious. Too much rainfall
when beets should have been maturing.
BY Water.
During the year 1900, three hundred
acres of the company's beets were en-.
tirely destroyed for sugar manufactur-
ing purposes. To guard against this in
the future, extensive ditching has been
done in the valley lands, with best re.
suits.
For the month of October, 1900, fifty.
three families were employed in the beet
fields under cultivation by the company.
Their monthly wages ranged from $40
to 1854, on average of $1O5.37 per family.
The farm pay roll for the year 1900 was
$129, 900.
People Aided.
The class of people to whom beet
culture proves most helpful and bene-
fetal are tenant farmers and farm labor
ers. It is possible for this class of
laborers to obtain from a small farm of
say 30 or 40 acres, better returns than
would be possible with other crops in
open market. From such size small
farm, there should be realized, under
average favorable conditions, $4,000 to
80 400 year.
Feeding.
The company utilizes to advantage the
offai or beet pumice from the factory.
It is fed to both cattle and sheep with
other Ingredient ration factors. Thirty
one thousand head of sheep are being
fed this winter.
The largest fatted cattle sale from this
farm in one year was $4,000.
Dollars.
The total value of the two plants con-

The beet sugar industry in the United
States is only in it's infancy. There are
but thirty-three successfully operated
factories in the United States. Three
of these are located in Nebraska. There
should be many more. In the humble
opinion of the writer, there will be.
