MORE MONEY N BETS.
Experience of a Bay County Farmer
with the two Crops.

Mr.. William Ruterbush, of Ports
mouth township Bay county, was 9
pleasant caller at our office during the
week, and in talking of the bet crop,
! Mr.. Ruterbush made the statement that
il was a God-send to many farmers in
this section and that he had been able
10 make some money since the crop was
introduced into Bay county. Fer ten
years before beets came in, SAID he, Il
was hardly making a living on my
land, but now am making some mon
ey. | have already made $1,000 in the
raise OF farm values besides ms King well
from my beet crop. | have 26o acres of
land and can make more from my
beets than can from all the rest of the
land
In 1898 from two acres we, that's my
brother and /, made slSl. We didn't
know much about the crop then In
1899 We had 10 acres and we made $500,
and this was an awful bad year for bects
and good many farmers lost money,
but we did pretty well.
Last year We had i'll 10 acres and
made over 81 900 clear money, and we
think this was pretty good. We have
learned much about the crop and was
able TO handle il very much cheaper
this year than any other year, and we
expect 10 put in 80 acres for this year.
This same land into wheat would
not pay good rent for the land IL
1898 we had 40 acres Of wheat, and II
went 80 bushels 10 the acre and we re-
ceived 13 cents per bushel for the wheat;
in 1899 we had in 43 acres aud that was
failure and we only got about 800
bushels which we sold at 10 cents PER
bushel last year we had in 20 acres
from which we got about 100 bushels
which we have not sold yet Wheat at
present prices Will not pay any farmer
TO raise and | would not grow any only
for keeping up good rotation.
Il keep a large herd of cattle and
feed a great deal of beet pulp ard find it
very valuable. ] know that II increases
the milk flow for have watched II with
my cattle and 70 take the pulp away
from them would mean a falling of of
more than quart each day The beet
industry = the best thing that ever
came 70 the farmer and It increases the
vaiue Of your land each year. There Is
no danger Of the crop robbiug the land
of its fertility if farmers only try 10
keep up the land, but any crop viii
rob the land if you don't put back
what you take away. - Micn. Sugar

Danger of Colds and La Grippe.

The greatest danger from colds and la
grippe is their resulting in pneumonia. Ii
reasonable care is used, however, and Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger
will be avoided. Among the tens of thous-
ands who have used this remedy for these
diseases we have yet to learn Of single case
having resulted in pneumonia, which shows
couclusively that it is certain preventive of
that dangerous malady. 1t will cure cold
or an attack of Ia grippe in less time than any
other treatment. 1t is pleasant and safe to
