mia they can be produced at a less
cost by the farmer than in any Of
the more eastern states, for when
the rainy season in California is
over aud the fields once cleaned of
weeds, the entire work is done by |
horse power and the crop absolute
ly assured. In Colorado and Utah |
the farmers are meeting with i'm
mense success in raising q very
heavy tonnage of rich beets with |
high purity. In southern Colora-
do last year many farmers produc-
ed as much as thirty tons per acre,
and their beets running a. high as
twenty per cent and over. These
beets are raised ON land under a
perfect system of irrigation, and
the countless days of beautiful
sunshiny weather gives the beet a
high saccharine content. 1t re-
quires about four months for the
sugar beet to mature after the seed
is planted-when the crop is ready
the beets are harvested and those
which are not taken into the facto-
ry at once are sliced on the fields
where they are produced, and
brought to the factory from time
to time. The factories contract
with the farmers, arranging to pay
more for December, January and
February deliveries of sliced beets
than those delivered during Sep
tember, October and November,
and also giving the farmer who
grows a large number of acres of
beets the same ratio of deliveries
as the one who shall grow a less
number of acres; in other words,
treating every farmer alike. When
these beets are ready for delivery
the farmers select chemist and
|veighmaster y rsprseent. thsaa. !.
who have the privilege Of check
ing all the weights, tares and tests
made by the employees of the re-
hnsry.
All the rsfineries that I am con-
nected with furnish to the farmer
the seed that he uses at cost price,
deducting the cost Of same from
the first delivery OF the farmers
beets. We also have an Agricul-
tural Department connected with
each Of our plants, which gives to|
the farmer, free Of charge, agricul-
tural advice; selects the seed best
suited to the land to be planted |
aids him in selecting and procur-
ing, at the lowest possible cost, the |
most suitable and improved agri.
cultural implements; and, in al
word, helps him in every way pos
sible to make q success, realizing
that he is practically partner
with the factoyr. The better the
beets produced, the better is the
sugar, and the more easily and
economically can it be extracted.
Therefore, in starting out to devel-
op this industry the capitalist
must recognize the importance Of
paying to the farmer figure for
his beets, which shall make the
crop profitable one to raise, and
he must be positively sure that
the right quality Of beet in an
abundant quantity can be counted
upon, that the factory may have
a full run. The farmer must also
recognize that the factory takes .
very large risk, for while the farm

IMPORTANCE
OF THE
SUGAR QUESTION
Address Of Mr.. J. G. Hamilton
Delivered at 4 Public Meet
ing Held In Canada.

tuR u0lV III V0U&U0s
The sugar question 10 one of
vast importance to country in
which it is known that beets of the
right quality can be produced i'll
sufficient quantities at a fair price
to the agricultural classes and to
the manufacturers. From the tests
that Prot. Shuttleworth has shown
me judge there is not the slight
est doubt that you can produce on
your soil very satisfactory beet,
and a sufficiently large tonnage
per acre to pay the farmer we'll for
his work.
Granting this to be the case, I
may state without fear of contra
diction, that there is no industry
that can come to country. which
means more to all classes than
that of Sugar Beet Sugar Rein
cry, which produces a standard
granulated sugar grown from the
beets in the neighborhood of the
Refinery. Its benefits permeate
all branches of trade, the coal
mine, the coke ovens, the lime
stone quarries. the manufactures
OF barrels and bags. the producers
Of lubricating oils, the blacksmith
shop, the manufacturers of chemi.
Gals aud chemical instruments, the
railroads, the laberers, your mer-
chants, and. in fact, everyone feels
the benefit of an industry of this
kind, and none more than the
farmers.
Safety of the Crop.
There is no crop that the farmer
can produce that will result more
lucratively to him, than that Of
raising sugar beets, providing he
does 30 on proper soil and in an
intelligent manner. 1t is the SAT-
est crop he can produce; it has
less enemies; can Withstand more
dry weather, more rain, moro frost,
and is absolutely free from specu-
lative influences. which attend
nearly every other crop produced
on the farm, Corn, wheat, oats,
tobacco, cotton, hogs, and nearly
every product of the farm is to-day
unfortunately controlled by the
speculative traders in our large
cities, 10 that when the crop is
either large or small, the specula.
tor knows it long before the farm
or can market his crop, and he,
and n OF the farmer, receives the
benefit from speculation. In
growing crop of sugar beets for
the factory, this question Of spec
ulation is absolutely eliminated;
the farmer receives from the fac
tory contract to take at a speci-
fed price all the sugar beets he
can raise upon stated number of
acres Of land, hence, the only risk
the farmer takes is a. to what kind
Of an agricultural season he will
have, and as the sugar beet grows
under the ground, il the farmer
will use intelligently the proper
methods, it is nearly impossible
for him to have Il failure Of his su.
gar beet crop, which, when it 10
ripe, he delivers to the factory,
where the beets are tested, and he
he is paid for them according to
saccharine contents.

A DOMESTIC MYSTERY.

1t has always been a mystery to me
why young married people 90 often be-
gin life in boarding house. l have
sometimes wondered whether this Gus
tom psrtakes OF the nature Of disease.
or whether it is simply fad, practice
which has grown to be considered
''swell' in this part Of the country.
Certain it is that for two-thirds OF
the newly-msrried couples, or for those
whose wedding day is approaching,
sign of s'Rooms and Board" has much
the same attraction that a magnet has
for needle, or a Wsldorf-Astoria Greet
for monogram fiend.
II the simple securing OF place to
eat and sleep be all that is desired. then
this boarding house system is admirably
fitted to supply the want: but when one
considers the many advantages to be
enjoyed in private home, it is wonder
that boarding houses are not given over
to the exclusive accommodation OF
bachelor maids and unmarried men.
In boarding house, particularly in q
large one. q person rapidly loses his in.

rowed, and soon he finds his thoughts
revolving around very limited orbit OF
eating and drinking and sleeping. The

at home.life arrangement by the most
enthusiastic bride who ever pinned up

wise schemes for resrrsnging her rooms,
when they persist in looking the same
in spite of all her efforts? Thus many
OF her housewifely instincts lie dormant,
and she is driven for entertainment to
the shops, the library and the concert
halls, and she may even develop into
matinee fiend!
Che husband may find diversion dur
ing the day at his place Of business; but
when he comes home at night he misses
that freedom from restraint which can
be secured only in home Of his own.

AS TO MUSICIANS AND HIRSUTE
ADORNMENTS.

Through the columns of Pittsburg
paper the world is informed that young
lady, q member of the Castle Square
Opera Company, now playing there. is
blessed by nature with 200 miles Of
golden hair. With mathematical ex-
actnees the number OF hairs to the
square iIch of head has been counted,
and the hair is five feet in length, 80 it
is estimated that il the silken strands
were laid end to end two hundred miles
would be measured"
The value of this Information is lees
ened by the feilure OF the writer to state
whether there is scientific reason for
connecting the abundance of the young
lsdy's hair with her musical proclivities.
On this, point statistics are sadly needed.
Everyone knows that pianists usually
have long, fine. silky nance, inclined to
curliness, and that the violinist. with an
equal abundance of head covering, is
commonly adorned with q chevelure of
thick, coarse, straight locks. The in
furious effect on the hair of the playing
of brass instruments is established, and
the badness Of the trumpster is joke
in every orchestra. But these scattered
observations have never been subjected
to proper scientific scrutiny, and the
singer and his Tor her) hair have been left
almost entirely out Of the question 1t
may be suggested that the comic opera
singer is chronically BALD, ,aud that sss
interpreter OF tragic roles in opera has
abundant hair. usually coarse and grow
ing low over the brow. But in the first
case the badness may be due to the
funny mans humorous tendencies rath-
er than his singing, and in the latter
some inquiry must be instituted into the
habits of life of grand opera singers, so
as to eliminate other factors from the
problem.
Tten there is the question whether
there is some scientific reason back Of
the convention which ordains that the
bass shall wear flowing beard, the
baritone closely trimmed Van Dyke at
most. while the tenor is permitted moth
ing more than the lightest Of NOUS
taches. But this is getting in too deep;
the questions raised call for a new
Teufelsdrockh, and a Philosophy Of Hair.
