Cost of Raising Beets.

able it is shown that the cost of pro-
ducing an acre of sugar beets in this
county would be as follows:

This does not include hauling to the
factory at Jamestown. The item of
hauling would, of course, vary with
the distance from the factory. One
man should thin and weed from a
third to half an acre day. On a
yield of IA tons, which is not large
estimate, the cost of raising would be
$l.49 per ton. a yield of six tons OF
beets to the acre would pay the cost
and leave the farmer with the tops
for feed. A yield of from II to Is
tons is a conservative estimate.

the boat was stuck we boys used to
drive pins into the window sash and

We came down TO breakfast and paused
at the dining room window to glance

ton, and, looking from another win
COW, we could see her plOwing steadily
through the ice toward one or the other
OF her two ports But there came a
time when McCooIs idea was put to the
test.
McCooPs Idea Utilized.
All through the winter of 1883 re-
ports kept coming up from Detroit Of a
wonderful steamer which was being
built for the Mackinac Transportation
company, and was to be capable of
demOlishing all the ice In the great
lakes. There was an unverified rumOr,
indeed. that if desired the new boat
could dig a canal across the upper
peninsula. She was TO be named St.
Ignace, in honor of our town, and was
to be 100 feet longer than the Ago
nah, half as broad sgain, and very
much deeper. with railway tracks laid
upon her deck 50 that she could carry
a train of cars bodily across the straits.
The feature which most interested US
was the screw in her bow. There has
been a good deal Of discussion as to
who first suggested this feature. Some
say that it was MCCOOl. Others that II
was Captain James AIillen Of Detroit,
and still others have claimed that Cap
tain George c. Ketchum Of Mackinac
island was the real inventor.
The new boat was completed in the
early spring and Captain Boynton
went down to Detroit to take command.
She left Detroit April and Port
Huron on the Sth. A morning or two
later she hove in sight. fifteen or JWen-
~ miles away to the eastward, and
surrounded by solid fields of ice TWEEN

she drew steadily nearer, munching her
way through the ice FIELDS as a darkey

Many and many time we had watched
the steamers coming up the north
channel by the exact route that she
was taking, but never before had one

this fashion. And never before had a
steamer received such a welcome to
the straits as she got. Five miles 10
the eastward she was met by crowd
of men. women and children, some on
foot and some in sleighs, who walked
and drove beside her and in front of
her, and escorted her in triumph up
the channel. For many years il had
been the custom for Fort Mackinac to
fire a gun az a salute to the first boat
that reached the island after the ice
went out in the spring but the St. Ig-
maze received three guns. She reached
her wharf at about 10 o'clock in the
evening. and the cheering and shout
ing of the welcoming crowds were
heard a mile away.

Vesselmen and shipbuilders who are
interested in keeping the ports of the
Great Lakes and the st. Lawrence
open have been generally advised TO
study the great new Russian ice steam
er, Ermack. Without doubt she is the
most powerful craft of her class ever
launched. and she is certainly doing
great things for the winter commerce
of north European ports. But, though
built on the other side of the Atlantic
under the direction of the Russian Ad-
miral Makaroff, the Ermack is esse n
TALLY an American invention.
From 1881 to 1883 the Straits Of Mack
fnac were the scene of many desperate
battles with the ice. Early in 1900 three
railways arrived at the straits-two
from the south and one from the north
