little value.
What is the cost OF raising an acre
OF beets for the sugar factory? The
answer will vary according to condi-
tions, and one Of these conditions is
the price Of labor. "a great deal Of
labor is necessary, as the beets must
be thEliinned and otherwise given atten-
ton. The cost runs from $50 to S45
per acre, estimated. This will make
the cost Of growing the. beets range
anywhere from So to 81 per ton, il an
average yield Of IL or II tons per acre
be figured on. It will thus be seen that
the growing Of sugar beets requires
quite an outlay, and that If the crop
be q partial failure it will be very easy
for the cost per ton to exceed the re-
ceipts per ton, which are usually from
81 to SIS. We do not say this to dis
courage any from growing sugar beets.

these things into consideration whep

CHAPTER III. (Continued.)

CHAPTER Ill.-(C Ontlnued.)
Arfey Ransome had decided upon
Ceiling his daughter of the future that
awaited her. He was not quite sure
of her. He had studied law in all its
branches, money making in all it's
Forms, but he had not studied charac-
ter-his daughter was almost a strang-
er to him. She had been educated
abroad. Her mother died soon after
her birth, and he, devoted to business,
had not cared to have a child to dis
tract his attention. He lived then at
hfs chambers. But when Hildred was
seventeen he went over to Germany to
ace her, and was charmed with her. He
Sound her highly educated, brilliantly
accomplished and intelligent, and in his
43pinion, she gave great promise OF a
beautiful womanhood. - .sr@.s~,
He decided at once on taking house
an the outskirts of London and install
Sag his daughter as mistress there.
ut was done at once, and then Mr.. Ran
same began to put his scheme into
sction. He knew that the young earl

&c would all be plain sailing for him
gaGw. f. %...
But there was one person he had
met taken into account, and that was
his daughter. He had never dreamed
OF anything except blind submission.
Now he began to ask himself, will
ahe obiect?" She had plenty of char
>aster, plenty of spirit, life, activity,
energy. Would she submit to his bar
ter and exchanged? Would she blush
and smile after the fashion of girls
who are delighted? Would she be
pleased to be a countess, or would she
draw herself up in disdain, and tell
afm she was to be neither bought nor
sold? He was doubtful as to which 1t
would be, and he therefore approached
the subject with some little hesitation.
That same evening-for it was rule
of Arkey Ransomes to do quickly what
required doing at all--he told her. He
remembered it long years afterward-
as did she.
HiIdred had gone through the
grounds down to the banks Of the

ssThen why does he not marry one of
those lovely women?' she asked,
quietly. LIZ,
Because he has asked to marry you,

2 She thought for a few moments in
silence, and then she said:

Is There Such q Disease as Hydrophobia?
The belief seems to be growing
among scientists that there is after
all no such disease as hydrophobia.
This strikes deep at the root Of long
established and venerable opinion, aud
will no doubt be received with a great
deal of opposition, but there is so much
to be said on the subject and SO many
experiments have been made, that one
is inclined to suspend Judgment b at
least, and wait for further develop
ment:- An incident is reported where
a man was bitten upon the side Of his
face by a pet dog. He applied to The
hospital for treatment, and was found
to be extremely nervous. The dog was
carefully examined and pronounced by
the veterinary surgeon to be in per-
feet health. Some experiments by
incubation were tried on rabbits with
out any unpleasant results. Again
and again were the rabbits inoculated.
and they remained to all appearances
as we'll as ever. But the man became
more and more nervous and frightened
and finally died, of what disease the
attendants in the hospital found it very
difficult to determine, although the
death certificate was issued for hydro
phobia. Some eminent medical men
declare that one Of the most important
things is to attempt to eradicate from
the public mind the idea that there is
such thing as hydrophobia. They
claim that it never occurs in fact, but
that there is a nervous terror which
takes possession Of the patient, who
actually dies Of what is nothing more
or less than fright and nervous convuI-#
sions. OF course such statement
leaves a wide margin for discussion
and debate. AS a matter Of fact, If
there is no such thing as hydropho-
bia, there certainly is a nervous state
that becomes terrible in the extreme.
Really there must be something Of
serious nature to cause such dread
full 1 suffering and death. New York

thing else S..
"Most decidedly" he replied, with an
air of relief. -.
But" she went on, if there is a
reality in love, if love be needful for
. happiness, do not let me marry with
out it. You are my father, my only
friend-I appeal to you.
He asked Heaven to pardon him for
answering such an appeal falsely. He
looked profoundly wise.
'tMy dear Hildred," he said, "you ex-
press yourself SO oddly. I believe that
the greater part of what you read and
hear about love is the greatest non
sense----the happiest marriages are
founded on esteem
"But / do not know enough Of Lord
Caraven to esteem him. she replied,
slowly. *2 "a j. ID.
Some of the happiest marriages. =
continued the lawyer, "have been when
people have learned to love each other
after marriage
Then love does creep in before or
after?" she said
Possibly in many cases The most
sensible way of looking at marriage is
this. 1t is a civil contract between two
people who can best make their way
in the world by going through it to-
gether-for instance, a young farmer
marries girl whose doWry enables
him l1sln to improve his farm, while her
education gives her an interest in it;
the noble man with an impo verished
estate and an ancient title marries a
city heiress whose grand Father was
perhaps a soap boiler. z Is
She was listening in amazement.

Keen interest, and the sharp-witted,

wished him to say, shrank before the
dark eyes of his daughter.
She looked up at him now with some
little curiosity. What had he to saw

Notes ON sugar Beets.

i One Of the hardest things about the
growing Of sugar beets is to get uni
form stand. It is evident that if there
are spaces in the field not covered by
The beets the losses will be consider
able. This irregu1arity comes often
from poor preparation of the land and
also from putting in the seed too deep
SO that it does not terminate at all, or
If 1t does terminate, does so at a PEI
Rod SO far anterior to the other bsets
that the new plants have little encour-s
,agement to develop. Lack of moisture
at planting time is also responsible for
much Of this unevenness in stand.
When fertilizers are used it would seem
quite necessary TO be sure that their
admixture with the soil Is perfect, to
make an even feeding ground for the
plants and thus ensure a uniform de-.
velopment.
The most common cause of failure
among beginners, according to William
Headden, Is a lack Of thorough prepa-i
ration Of soil He advocates ploWing
in the fall and subsoiling to a depth OF
is inches. In the spring narrowing is
all that is necessary. That, however,
is for Colorado. subsoiIing may not
be so necessary for some other states,
and In fact there are places whore it
would certainly be a detriInent. The
ground, however, should be well pal
verized or be By nature porous enough
to permit the beet to make IA down
ward and uniform lateral growth. We
have seen sugar beets planted on soils
Of eIayey nature and where the
ground had been poorly prepared. The
result was beets Of irregular growth,

shoeing Not always to Blame.

z
While standing in a horseshoer's
shop a few days ago. writes ssRay-
tmond'' in the Horse World, t''the sheer
pointed to horse, from which he had
just removed the shoes, and said:
There is horse that have shod for
several months with no trouble what
ever. A few days ago I shod him just
as I always have, and his owner has
sent him back with a message saying
that he interferes so that he cannot
+ drive him. The sheer then went on
to say that he could see nothing faulty
with the shoeing and said, I believe
ne is: sick or weak from some cause
or another and that the interfering is
caused by that do not know what
action the sheer took regarding the
case, for did not give the matter any
more thought until this morning, when
picked up a copy of the Horseshoers'
journal, in which there was an article
on interfering by an Arkansas horse
sheer, in which appeared the follow
ing: Last year an old customer of
mine called me outside the shop; says
he, Whatever have you done to NV
horse? Ever since you put those last
shoes Oh he's cutting has ankles to beat
the band, and this last day or SO can
hardly get him along" I looked at the
feet and couldn't see anything wrong
with the shoeing. I said, Haven
you given him more driving than
usual? He looks mighty dull" "But,"
says he, this interfering makes him a
lot duller than he looks" advised
him to show the horse to a veterinary.
Two days after, I saw my complainant
driving another horse, and on inquiry
I learned that the veterinary told him
to take the horse home, that he was
sick, and that on seeing the horse the
next morning the veterinary pro-
nounced it pneumonia, which, of
course, in the inc1pient stage caused the
interfering Probably there are many
cases similar to this. At any rate,
when horse that has never interfered
begins doing SO, while shod just as he
always has been, it is good betting that
it is something beside the shoeing that
is causing it. ISL IT,
