Free Stationary.

Some wholesale houses are resorting
to new fad to secure patronage from
retail dealers. With certain orders offers
are made to supply customers with
printed bill heads, letter heads, ETC., free
Of charge, all OF which is baneful to the
interests OF the home papers and con-
trary to the principle Of homo trade.
The country newspaper is deserving OF
all possible local support, and offers OF
the kind stated should be ignored by
the home merchant. The word free
simply amounts to bait. Like all other

Potato Scnb.
Field anc Farm.


Potato pcab is spread IN a number OF
ways. Scabby seed and ground on which
such potatoes have been grown will
grow scabby crop. Manure from stab
les where stock has been fed on infested
potatoes will spread the disease, for the
passage OF fungi through the animal
system never destroys the germs. Sur
face water flowing from an infested field
will carry the disease to lower land.
Pows and cultivators, unless they are
thoroughly cleaned, will disseminate the
disease. il they have been used in the
cultivation OF diseased crop. Seed
treated with corrosive sublimate can be
planted with safety. The eeed is soak
ed for one and one half hours in salu-
ton Of two and one-fourth ounces OF cor
rosive sublimate to fifteen gallons OF
water. Tho potatoes should be cleaned
before being immersed. At the expira-
ton OF this time stated take the potatoes
out Of the solution and spred out to dry.
The potatoes may be cut before or after
the soaking. A good plan OF making
the solution and soaking the potatoes is
to dissolve the sublimate in two gallons
Of hot water and pour It into an open
head barrel. Add thirteen gallons Of
water. Put the potatoes in gunny
sack and immcrse for the time stated.
Stir the solution from time to time. No
treatment Of the seed will prevent the
crop from scabbing IL tho ground is full
OF germs. The only way to rid tho
ground OF the fungi is by putting it to
growing u rotation OF crops, auch as al
falfa. corn and wheat. No root crop
should be grown on such soil

The Beet Sugar Industry.

Some idea OF the progress of the sugar
beet industry in the United States is
gained from recent bulletin Of the
census bureau. While the culture of
beets with view to the manufacture OF
sugar is yet in its infancy there can be
no question that it promises to become
in time one of the greatest industries OF
the nation.
During the census year ending May 81,
1900, over s20,OOO,OOO were invested in
manufacturing establishments and about
10000 acres OF land were devoted to
raising beets exclusively for their use.
This was decided increase over the
previous year. The capacity of the
factories established at that time was
about 100000 tons OF sugar per year.
Within the past year Colorado has
made the greatest progress in the di-
rection of developing this industry.
Factories are being built in many sec
tions of the state and movements for
the erection OF others are in progress.
Colorado farmers have taken up the
work OF cultivatiDg sugar be etc in ear
nest and they have proved that beets
with greater per centage Of sugar can
be raised in the semi-arid region than
anywhere else in the country. The car
bon in the beet, which is the sugar pro-
perty, is created by sunshine and air
and not water Thus the ability OF the
Colorado farmer to regulate, by irriga-
tion, the application Of water gives him
a decided advantage over those climates
where the precipitation is greater. 1t
is striking fact that the lack of water,
which has been heretofore regarded as
natures great handicap on Colorado is
at once transformed into an advantage
which cannot be offset or mitigated by
the states favoren with ample rain.
The manufacture of sugar from beets
has passed out of the experimental stage
in Colorado. 1t is sure to become one
of the greatest industries in the state.
and that within a comparatively short
time.

few boards for siding. Here Governor
George A. Crawford was for a long time
accustomed to take his meals. Bonifice
Tolliver was good caterer and always
had good steaks and tender chops on

The wheel in Army Life,

Perhaps no class Of people value the
modern bicycle to a greater degree than
do the officers land their wives and
daughtersl OF Uncle Sans Army. At
every army post where the roads in the
surrounding county are ridable, the bi-
cycle is an important adjunct to the
pIeaaure and utility Of both men and
women. The prairies OF Nebraska and
Dakota, and even the more mountainous
districts Of Montana and Idaho. afford
excellent opportunities for wheeling, and
the average wearer OF brass buttons, as
well as the ladies OF the post, are skilled
and accomplished riders. Long before
the bicycle was considered as probable
factor in warfare. thad become popular
vehicle as means Of relieving the mo-
notony OF army post life, and today in
our new dependencies-the PHILIPPINE
Islands, Cuba, Porto Rico. and even in
Guam, the wheel is looked upon as well
nigh Indispensable companion by officers.
Lieutenant Hobson is clever and en-
thusiustic wheelman, although in the
navy his opportunities for riding are not
as frequent as those enjoyed by the
army officer. General Wood is also a
wheelman, and resorts to his bicycle
frequently, both in the transaction OF
official business and for recreative pur-
poses. General Fred Grant is also a
rider and it will be recalled that one OF
the first objects OF interest recovered
from the wreck OF tho Maine was the
Columbia bicycle Of Captain Sigsbee.
In fact. about the only distinguished
wearer OF Uncle Sans blue and gold
who has not learned the trick OF balanc-
ing wheel is Admiral Dewey. and the
hero Of Manila Bay says the only reason
he does not ride is because he fears that
it ia bit too late in life to teach his sea
legs new stunts.
