Young Men and whisperers.

At the Nj. f. church Sunday night
the pastor preached a very forceful
and helpful sermon on the above sub
ject. He gave some very good advice
TO every one about that habit of tell
ing tales about our ueighbors. AT the
close OF his talk he gave the following
rules which il observed would almost
transform this world,
Never listen TO anything against
any one who is not present TO defend
himself.
Never let anything you hear against
another person make any impression
on you until you have heard the other
side of the story-for there's always
another side.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
Rev. Frank 5. Lyon Preached Sunday
Evening on Suicide.

Rev. Frank 5. Lyon Preached Sunday
Evening on Suicide.
Rev. Frank S. Lyon preached at the
Baptist church Sunuay evening on the
theme "Suicide." Text, Proverbs H.
19-"He that is steadfaSt in righteous
ness shall attain unto life; and he that
purSLeth evil doeth it to his own
DEATH"
We have in the text statement
of the dual law Of life based on right
eouSneSS and Of death based on evil
And in its application the Lawgiver
says, "See, l have set before thee this
day life and good, and death and evil. "
Steadfastness in righteousness en-
braces the essential conditions Of the
gospel of Christ. That is to say, no
man can be steadfast in righteousness
and attain unto life eternal who will
not accept and obey the conditions of
the gospel. To those who are purSu-
ing the way Of evil, we plead God s
goodness and love as the inspiration to
repentance and faith. Look at Ro-
mans "a: "Or desplsest thou the rich
es of his goodness and forbearance and
long-Suffering, not knowing that the
goodness Of God leadeth thee to re-
pentance?" The love Of God is the
only passport to the heavenly life or
the heavenly home, and to oppose his
love is thousand more terrible than
to face his judgments.

Testing Sugar eeets.


Mr. Lester H. McDiarmid, instructor
in chemistry in the high school, writes
as follows concerning the method of
testing sugar beets for the percentage
of sugar they contain and for the
amount which has to be deducted for
dirt, etc. Mr.. McDiarmid spent two
years in this work in the University of
Michigan and last year was the chemist
at one of the new Michigan beet sugar
factories being in full charge of the
work of weighing, taking out the tare,
testing, etc.
BY request of persons interested in
securing beet sugar factory in Owosso,
l will try to give brief account of the
process by which the price of each load
of beets is determined,
In harvesting the beets the grower
should see to it that they are properly
topped, e., below the lowest leaf crown.
That portion of the beet above the leaf
crown contains many substances valu-
able for fertilizing purposes but worth.
less for the manufacture of sugar.
Each load as it comes to the factory
is weighed and sampled. The sampling
is done as follows, each load is provided
with tare basket, that will hold APP
proximately twenty-five pounds. After
the unloading is well under way, SO
that good fair sample can be obtained
from the central part of the load, the
basket is filled with the shovel and
carried into the tare laboratory. Here
the sample is weighed, usually taking
twenty. five pounds, washed and topped
if the topping has not been properly
done in the field. The sample is then
reweighed and the loss of weight is dirt
or tare. Thus if a sample of twenty
five pounds loses one pound by wash
ing the loss is one twenty-fifth or four
per cent, and the load is estimated to
contain eighty pounds of dirt to the
ton.
After the sample is tared, it is ground
to fine pulp and the juice extracted
by pressure. This juice is then tested
by chemical process to determine the
per cent of solid and saccharine matter
IN the beet. The ratio of the sacchariue
matter to the total solids determines
the coetlicient OF purity of the product.
The producer is usually paid on basis
of four dollars and fifty cents per ton
for beets of twelve per cent sugar and
purity coeilicient of seventy-fve with
an increase of thirty.three and one
third cents per ton for each one per
cent increase in sugar content, Thus
the price for beets testing thirteen and
one half per cent would be i've dollars
per ton.
The sugar content of the beet, like
the yield of wheat or potatoes, depends
very much on the soil and cultivation
The average sugar per cent, for the last
three seasons, for beets grown on
Michigan soil has been from thirteen
to fourteen per cent. The sugar per
cent has been found to vary in different
localities from twelve and one half to
sixteen or seventeen per cent. Beets
have been known to vary from three to
four per cent in sugar content in the
same field and apparently the same de-
gree of cultivation. The yield per acre
varies with the soil and cultivation. A
fair yield is from ten to fifteen tor s
per acre. A clay loan is considered
the best for sugar beet culture

Sugar Beet Notes.

st. johns has fallen into line and COM
menced an active agitation for sugar
factory.
Fully geo farmers living within a
radius of seven miles of st. Louis, met
in mass convention on Saturday to
pledge themselves to raise 5000 to
1000 acres of sugar beets for three
years for any factory that will locate in
there the coming year. 1t is said that
farmers in that locality are raising beets
testing II to 1S per cent. sugar this
year. Evidently Gratiot county farm
ers realize the worth of this industry.
A. hubert, who has been at work in the
Lansing beet sugar factory for sons time
past was home for Sunday aud Monday.
Mr.. Hubert has watched the working of the
establishment and talked with many of the
farmers. He brings back the same report
which all of the others who have looked
into the business bring, that every one
farmers and all, who have anything to do
with the business are better pleased with
the results shown than they have ever been
with any other crop or industry.
Every man in the southwest part OF the
county who can be got to work with his
team is engaged in fall p,owiDg for sugar
beets. The Lansing sugar company has
not only secured a large number OF con-
tracts from farmers who raised beets this
season and from their neighbors but The
company hes leased number of farms
entire and will put every available acre of
III sm into beets.

Tennessee.s wealth of Oak Timber.

Tennessee's Wealth of Oak Timber.
One of Tennessee's richest fields Of
natural resources is in its forests. Most
of her timbered land is as yet virgin,
and at the top of the list of the varie-
ties to be found is oak. That tree is
one of the most valuable that ever
grew, and this state is more than usu-
ally rich In II.
Oak timber is practically indestructi-
BILE when not exposed to the clements
of the atmosphere. l mean that oak
timber can be submerged in the ground
or buried in the water, where the at
mosphere does not affect it. and it will
last for so many years that the man
who had put it there is dead and for
gotten by the time it has decayed.
1t is n growing favOrite, and deserv-
eddy so, in many ways of manufacture
ing furniture and In finishing fine
houses The price "a it is always firm.
and every now and then it makes a
squirt and climbs up Il point from which
it never will fall. If the forests of this
tree to be found in Tennessee today are
here 90 years from now, this will be
one of the richest states in the UniOn.-
