In 1894, during Democratic admins
tration, the cotton mills of the United
States consumed only Is per cent of the
entire average cotton crop. Last year
they used over y per cent, and this
year they will use about oue-third Of the
whole crop; more than twice as much as
in 1891. Workers in the cotton mills
should not forget that Republican adj
ministration means double the quantity
of work and higher wages besides.

subsoiling and Sugar Beets.

Bulletin 43, of the North Dakota Ex-
pertinent Station, tells US something
OF the effects of subsoiling on sugar
beets. A sample of sugar beet roots,
taken Lightweight days after planting,
when the beets had nearly reached
their full growth, showed a depth of
roots Of over three and one-half feet.
The vegetable is by nature a deep feed
ar. The main root development is
deep in the ground, and not until late
in the season do roots develop near
enough to the surface to be injured
by the ~cultivator. The root system of
the sugar beet differs from that of n
OF the other plants studied. The veg
etable itself is really the enlarged up
per part of the taproot which ex-
tends almost perpendicularly down
ward into the ground, becoming rapid
ly smaller in diameter in the upper
part Of it's course, the lower part be-
ing quite small and ~thread-like. and
reaching. in several samples, a depth
Of over three and one-half feet. From
this central root branches spread out
ward and downward into the soil on
all sides. The upper main branches
are the largest and extend outward
almost horizontally for more than two.
feet. Those deeper down incline more

Well TILED Soil for Roots.

When root crops are to be planted
the soil should be well prepared be-
forehand. The ground must be placed
q a condition where the root can de-
velop. When only the top of the soil
is loosened the roots tend to send out
innumerable feeders, and these feeders
re of no value to the crop after it is
harvested. In other words, the con
ditions should be favorable to the de-
velopment of the main root and not
of supplementary roots. On sandy
soil deep blowing is not of great con-
sequence, as the root will go
down through such soil any
way. But on heavy soils or
where there is hard pan near the
surface the blowing will need to be
deep if roots are to be grown. 1t pays
better to subsoil for root crops than
for almost any other crops, and where
large quantities of roots are to be
grown it will pay to get the imple-
ments needed to give the land proper
preparation.

Beets.

The beet is a very ~serviceable plant,
as it can be grown at almost any part
of the growing season. They can be
put in early in the spring or late in the
spring Or in early summer and still
give a good account of the work put on
them. The beet, however, requires a
good seed bed, which in this case
means ground properly fined. The soil,
too, should be fairly compact, or the
beet seed will not easily get the
amount of moisture it needs for ger
mination. Thus if the land be left
very loose the air, rather than soil
water, will surround the beet seed, and
it's supply of moisture will be cut off.
The seed, too, should be planted near
the surface or much of it will fail to
terminate. All the chances possible
should be given beet seed, that the
plants may get above the ground at
least as soon as the weeds. If the lat
ter get the start, their eradication be-
comes somewhat of a problem.

ground, compared with the others,
are found to extend deeper into
the soil and to make a more extensive
and greater fibrous growth in that
portion of the soil loosened by sub
soiling. The irregular form of the
beets on the ground not SUBSIDIZED
causes an irregular root development;
divided taproots often occur, resulting
in a less depth of root. This study
shows that the sugar beet needs deep,
well loosened soil, not only that it may
have room to grow and expand, but al
so that the roots may properly develop
and secure the necessary plant food.
BY actual count II per cent Of the
beets from the ground not SUBSIDIZED
were classed as i'll formed, while only
40 per CEN were SO classed from the
subsoiled plot. The total yield was
about the same from each plot.

diagram merely represents the skele-

The main apparent difference be-
tween beets on subsoiled and un-sub-
soiled lands is in the shape of beets.
The beets on the ground not subsoiled
are short and i'll formed and grow
above the ground. The chemist tells
us that for the best production OF SUI
gar the beets must grow well beneath
the surface of the soil and be long and
tapering. This form and condition
are shown in the sample from the SUBJ

ence in the form Of the beets them
selves, there is considerable differ
ence in the roofing systems. The

Dishonest packing is today largely re-

what they might be.
1t is predicted that pineapples will
be very carce this year. The annual
crop is said to be about SO, 900 900 ap-
pies, and to come largely from Cuba

Reports of success and non-success
with spraying are common. The re-
ports of success, however, far outnum-
Der the reports of n~on-success. But
they do not by any means convince
the ines that claim to have tried

The -non-success of spraying is de-
pendent on a good many things. 1t is
like failure with some medicines or
all medicines in diseases. A medicine
may be excellent for use in the treat
ment of a certain kind Of disease, and
yet it will fail in numerous cases. Does
it therefore follow that the medicine
must be abandoned? The same is true
with spraying. Everything depends on
the conditions. The man that has q

in short distance of numerous other
trees that are not sprayed will have
hard work to score a success. The cod.

CONDENSED from Farmers Review Stem
ographic Report Of Wisconsin
Institute.)
Prof. Golf spoke on plum culture for
Wisconsin. In part he said that
peach, pear and ounce culture in the
state had been demonstrated to be
impracticable. The apple, cherry and
European plum have also not been
very successfully grown in Wisconsin.
The Japanese plums have proved not
sufficiently hardy for the climate.
With the native plum it is different, as
it can be grown successfully in all
parts of the state. Prominent varie-
ties are Wyant, Forest Garden Quaker,
Ocheeda, Aitken, Cheney, Surprise,
North Star, Hammer, Pollingstone, De
Soto, Piper, Barnshack. Even these
plums can't be grown without taking
care of the trees throughout their life.
A man should not set out plum trees
unless he expects to give them as
much care as he does his potato crop.
All of these plums are attacked by the
c%urculio. You can't prevent the cur
culio coming and you can't master it.
but you can keep it down as much as
you do potato bugs. 1t has to be look
ed after every day for three weeks.
and should be Jared into a cloth-cov-
cred frame.
Q.-How far apart should the trees
in a plum orchard be planted?
Prof. Goff-Several years ago we
planted II feet apart, but we have
found that too close. 1 would not plant
them closer than 20 feet apart. They
should be set so far apart that the
branches will never touch each other.

JUDGE FREED GIRL
WHO Threw VITR!0l.
Said He Had No Pity for Man
Whom She Blinded After He Be
trayed and Deserted Her.

Boston, Mass. Dec 21-The most remark
able criminal case tried in a Massachusetts
Superior Court in many years. and which
aroused intense interest in the fashionable
Back Bay district, was ended yesterday
when Judge Bond probationed Marion
sRogan. who had blinded fo- life Doctor
3Sank L. Tay Tor. dentist. by throwing
yttriol in his face out OF revenge for be-
trayaL
The young girl had earlier appeared be-
fore the Judge and told her pitiable story
and showed the white-haired Justice her
little babe, Of which she claimed Taylor was
the father. She said that Taylor. after he
had wrecked her life. had told her that he
was Irresistible among women by reason Of
bis good looks.
In announcing HIS decision. Judge Bond
taid that from the evidence it appeared
that Doctor Taylor had sought out Miss
Rogan, knowing she was a virtuous wom-
IN, who had in no way wronged him, for
the sole purpose OF causing her ruin: and
after he had accomplished II by frauS and
deception, and the use OF Intoxicating
liquors. II not by drugs he unfeelingly cast
her of without assistance and advised her
to resort TO a life of prostitution; he even
boasted OF his disgraceful conduct with this
young woman and with others, whom he
had ruined. Such man. the Judge
added. 'is SO vile that have no sympathy
or pity for him in his unfortunate condi-
tion.''
Judge Bond said he regretted that Miss
Rcgan did not leave the punishment Of her
betrayer to a higher power than herself.
AS to the possibility that similar acts of
personal vengeance would follow the pro-
sbatoning Of this prisoner. the Judge said
fthat such acts were SO rare-none other
having come before him in the forty years
Of his service on the bench-that he would
take the risk and order the release of the
prisoner on probation.
