According to the last census, 1890
persons were employed in the beet
to the amount of S2O,95S,519 was in
vested in beet sugar factories. The
value of the sugar produced for the pre-
ceding year was $7,323, S57, and there
was paid to the farmers who grew the
beets the sum Of S3,4S5, 800. The bust
ness is steadily growing, and it is pre-
dicted by the agricultural department
that in a very few years at most Amer
lea will produce all the sugar cOnsum
ed by its people.

A SECONDARY FERTILIzATI1V.


The actual facts appear to be that
the silks Of an ear of corn will remain
IN a receptive susceptible to the
act of pollination-for a much longer
period than we thought possible there
being abundant evidence all through
the corn belt where the tassels of the
corn were destroyed by the hot winds
Of July, in which fields the fertilization
was so arrested that it was most i'm
perfectly accomplished, but a few ker-
nels being fructifed, that a later de-
veIOped pollen supply brought about
by rains on undeveloped stalks has
completely and perfectly fortified
these imperfect ears. the silks 20 days
after the normal date of pOllenizing
stfIl being receptive and ready to per
form their important mission. This
will result in the curious fact Of an
ear Of corn having n few ripe and hard
kernels upon it, while the rest Of the
corn kernels Will be still soft -Thi:
/ curious condition Of the cOrnfelds W.
have never before noted and is o.
more than passing interest. as sucl
fields will. If favored with n gooC

crop Of corn than seemed possible II

OTHER MEMS WIVES.

There is a great deal of very foolish
stuff written and printed about the
peculiar burdens of the farmers wife.
Now, for the life of us, we cannot see
why the wife Of the town mechanic
and day laborer does not have just as
hard a row to hoe as the wife of the
ran on the farm. Many of this latter
class are compelled to take in washing
and do mental work for other people
in order to keep the family going, and
society is less kind to them than it is
to the farmers wife. Not a few Of
these town women have cads for hus-
bands-lOafers, drunkards and no.
'cOunts-and with no COW, no garden,
no poultry yard; no timber lot; they
stick ont the dividing line between
the pOorhOuse and starvation year in
and year out. Let somebody pity the
mother who lives In town who is
barred socially because Of poverty,
who can hardly garb her children SO
that they can go to the public school
or to the church, while her husband is
roaring against the existing order OF
things on some dry. goods box down
town.

Possibly it does not pay in the mere
matter of dollars and cents to paint the
farm home and the farm buildings, but
the doing of it will do something to
remove that tired feeling common to
many people who live on the farm. A
man may very properly wear 10 cent
hat, a 40 cent shirt and 35 cent pair
of Overalls while doing his farm work,
but his home-the place where he lives
should not be rugged out on the 80

When your horse whinnies in the
barn, you know that it's time to feed
him; when the cows moo" as you go
to the barn, and the hogs sQueal in the
feed lot or pen, you heed the call and
supply their wants. But when the
soil of the field plaintively asks for a
little rest and nourishment, so many
fail to supply the need. A hungry soil
is just as hungry as a hungry COW,
horse or hog. The soil must be fed if
you would have it feed you. This fact

MINERAL OUTPUT LAST YEAR.
Enormous Wealth the United States TOOK
Out of the Ground iu 1900.


The Engineering and Mining Journal
in estimating the mineral output for
the United States in 1900 shows that
the total value at place of production
of the output was 81, 1865, COS, $50, as
compared with 81 ,2ls, ,2l5, 637 in 1890, a
gain of S147 ,393, 945 for the year.
or these vast sums, which are with
out precedent in the history of the
mineral industry, ores and minerals
contributed s672, 2,o9o,4l6 in 1900 and
1857, 26s,79S in 1899; metals, S524, 432,.
533 in 1900 and 1896, 057 $50 in 1890;
secondary products, S72, 720, 695 in 1900
and S64 ,416, ,979 in 1899, while the value
of the metals smelted or refined from
foreign material was 800, 364, ,939 in
1900 and $40, All, $40 in 1899.
The chief item of our great mineral
production, in quantity, value and
economic Importance, was coal, with
the production in 1900 of 263, ,a15, ,43l
short tons, an increase of 6,9lO, ,O44
tons, or per cent over 1899.
Pig iron was second in order of val
ues, as well as in economic Importance
The total in 1900 was l3, ,533, 965 long
tons. with an approximate value of
S273, ,110, 392.
1t is these two products--coal and
iron-which we produce more abund-
antly and more cheaply than any other
country in the world, that ere giving
the United States the economic leader
ship in the world, and will enable the
nation to hold that place.
In point of value copper comes third
In the list. its production last year be-
ing 600, 932 sos pounds, with value of
500, 1855, 449. The increase over 1899 was
comparatively small.
Gold holds only the fifth place, with
total value of S7s, s,l50, ,647-less than
one-fourth of the value of coal, or one
third that of pig iron. 1t was nearly
approached in value by petroleum,
with a total of $74 246, $50, and was ex-
ceeded by the clay products, with a
total Of $7s, ,704, 76s. Few people woald
suppose that the varied clay products
brick. tile. pipe and the like-ex-
ceeded in their total values that of our
large output of gold, hut such is the
fact. The production of silver had a
market value of only $40, 756, 900. Build.
ing stone was rated at S31 400, 500 last
year.

BiackmaiIers Burn Woman to Death

Horribly burned and dying in intense
agony was the fate of Mrs. w. C. Car.
son, wife of a Cowley county, Kansas,
farmer, because her husband refused
to deposit S., 900 in place named by
unknown blackmailers
Mr.. Carlson, received an anonymous
note requesting him to bury $500 at the
foot of certain telephone pole under
penalty of having his house burned.
The suggestion was ignored One week
later another anonymous note was re.
ceived, stating that if S5, 900 was not
deposited within a week his house
would be burned and he would be
killed.
No attention was paid to the second
communication, and on Saturday night
while Mr.. Carlson was en- route to Med
ford for mail the home was fired. Mrs.
Carlson was found about ten feet from
the ruins by Mrs. Dunn, neighbor,
horribly burned and insensible. She
was taken home by Mr.. Dunn, where
she rallied enough before dying Sun
day to relate her knowledge of the
transaction.
She rushed outside when she discov-
cred the fire, but remembered some
valuable papers and a treasured old
violin, and tried to save them. From
that moment her mind was a blank
until she awoke in the home of Mr.,
Dunn.

EUROPE TO CoMeINE
AGAINST UNITED STATES.
Gigantic Commercial War Predicted by
United States Treasury OGiciaI.

Ghhtc1 stntes tftasury oGtCthts
Frank A. yanderlip, formerly assist
ant secretary of the treasury, who has
returned to Washington from long
trip abroad, says:
II think it is not only possible but
highly probable that Europe can and
will agree to binding terms of trade
combination against us within the next
few years, and that the result will be
the most gigantic and stubborn COM
mercial war in the history of the world.
AS most of our commercial treaties ex-
pire in 1908, look for the real begin
ming of the war then in refusal Of
most of the continental nations to re-
new those conventions.
'sAt the present moment Austria,
which never did like us, is leading in
the movement against the United
States, and found Goluchowski, head
OF the ministry of that country, our
bitterest and most outspoken foe. Oh.
viously the other ministers of the Old
World, including even that of England,
are artfully encouraging Goluchowski
In his course of opposition, with a view
of drawing our fire before they openly
declare themselves.
'For the immediate future our trade
prospects were never brighter in Eu.
rope. There has been almost a total
crop failure in Germany. The agricul.
tural outlook is only a little brighter
in France than in Germany, and even
in England the crop yield is not very
promising. But as soon as the conti-
nent RECEIVERS from it's present agricul-
tural depression l confidently believe
the tocsin of war will be sounded. In
Russia there are loud professions of
friendship for the United States, and
one hears many expressions of admi-
ration of our commercial development
and methods. The Russians are mod
cling their tariff system after ours,
and in few years will try to apply it
with vigor and severity against all
nations alike, but particularly against
the United States.

VOLUNTEER ARMY GOES
OUT OF EXISTENCE.
Last of Volunteers Mustered out at San
Francisco Monday.

Sunday afternoon the Forty-fourth,
Forty-ninth, Forty-eighth and Thirty
eighth volunteer regiments were mus
tered out at the Presidio. The muster
ing out of the four regiments required
the services of eight paymasters. Over
81 100000 was disbursed. The money
was taken from the sub-treasury to the
Presidio in eight Doherty wagons, each
under the charge of paymaster aud
his clerk. Forty.fve artillerymen,
mounted and armed, escorted the
treasure and pay corps to the reserva.
.tion.
In order to protect the soldiers on
the grounds from grafters with their
swindling devices, 100 men of troop K,
fifteenth cavalry. were stationed
around the reservation. Two of the
regiments mustered out, the Forty.
eighth and Forty-ninth, were colored
and'the men had between three and
four months pay due them.
AS soon as the volunteers had been
mustered out they rushed to the rail
road ticket offices for transportation
to their eastern homes Both the
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific general
ticket offices put on an extra force of
clerks The ticket offices were crowded
till late in the night with discharged
volunteers buying tickets. Nearly four
thousand tickets were issued.
The Forty-third, Forty-seventh and
Forty first were mustered out Monday,
which witnessed the passing into his
tory of the volunteer army.
