Rect Growing Under Irrigation.

For the future development of the
sugar industry we can look confidently
to Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Ida
no. Utah, Arizona and Nevada. Beet
growing under irrigation is peculiarly
successful and may with it's aid be
extended south into Kansas and other
states in this latitude. In no other
area in the United States is the pros
pect for future growth Of the industry
better than in the mountain states.
Sugar production in this area means
what wheat does to Kansas and Min
nesota, what corn does to Iowa and
Illinois, what cotton does to MISSISSIPPI
nj. Alabama and other states of the
south and what fruit culture means to
California. The arid region will as
sumo agricultural prominence largely
through the influence of beet sugar
production as surely as have these
through the various products men
tened. Whatever else can be said of
the sugar beet, it is a blessing to the
arid region.-C. F. Saylor.

KEEPING CABBAGE.
Whe 1t Is Difficult and the Prevalent
Important Method.

WhS 1T Is Difficult ana the t'rcVAAShH
Important Method.
It is a difficult matter to keep cab
bages in large quantities through the
winter. Every method in practice by
large growers has it's disadvantages on
account of the easy decay Of the soft,
watery leaves by overwarmth and the
damage if not destruction OF the stock
by freezing. Thus one has to go be-
tween these two difficulties, and on ac-
count of the cost of the frequent re-
movals of the crop it is generally adj
visable to store them in the field where
they have grown, says Country Gentle
man. The prevalent method adopted
by large growers is this: The space be-
tween the rows, 3 by 6, as may be con-
venient, is furrowed out as widely as
possible, and the plants, pulled as late
as possible before risk of damage by
freezing, are placed as they are pulled
and with the roots undiSturbed head
downward in rows four feet wide and
tapering to one on the top as compact
ly as possible. Straw is then spread
over the heaps until as late as possible
with safety from frost, when earth is
thrown on the straw to insure safety
from freezing. Air vents are made at
intervals of six feet and these filled in
with punches of straight cut straw, by
which escape of any warm air collect
ing in the heaps is made easy. The
ground should be leveled to enable the
heaps to lie evenly. Sometimes these
pits are made larger, even eight feet
wide and high, but in some localities
the smaller pits will be safest.

BABY BEEF.
1t Gets Quick Returns and Best Prof.

1t Gets Quick Returns and Best Prof.
it From Corn and Alfalfa.
What does the production Of baby
beef mean? According to the Kansas
experiment station, it represents the
following: Nothing to the ranchman
who has cheap pastures; complete
change in the methods of crop produc-
ton and OF feeding to the farmer with
high priced limited pastures. The pro-
duction of baby beef gives quick re-
turns on the investment. The farmer
who raises and fattens mature steers
has to furnish pasture for his cows,
the yearlings, the two-year-olds and
often for the three-year-old steers. He
waits three years from the time the
calf is born until he realizes on the in
vestment, and only One-fOurtb OF his
herd are COWS producing calves. If the
farmer will produce baby beef, he can
fill his pasture to the full limit with
cows producing calves, and he will
realize on the calves twelve months
from the date of their birth. Capital is
turned annually instead Of once in
every three years. The farmers grain
will produce from 50 to 100 per cent
more pounds of baby beef than 1t will
of beef from mature steer. aud for
the past three years the baby beef ami
NAL has sold for as high prices per
hundred as has the average steer. In
producine baby beef the farmer can
market neifer calves at the same
prices a. g steers and will usually
get MOI or the twelve-month-old
heifer than would for the same ami
NAL if kept until maturity.
Demand For Baby Beef.
The packers report that they have
never been able to supply the demand
for baby beef and that there is no like
lihood OF the market ever becoming
oyersupplied, even though stockmen
generally should go to producing it.
The best demand and the highest
prices are in the months of April, May
and June. During these months butch
ers want light cuts. and they find less
waste in baby beef than in that from
larger cattle. After July l the price
for baby beef has tendency to be-
come lower, as light grass fed cattle
compete The best prices are obtained
for we'll fattened calves weighing from
600 to 1000 pounds Calves either
above or below these weights do not
top the market. The age should be
from twelve to fourteen months.
The Great Food Combination.
Alfalfa hay and corn gave the great
est gains in feeding experiment fol-
lowed by alfalfa hay and Kaffir corn
grain. At all times through the seven
months feeding the calves fed alfalfa
hay appeared to be in the best condi-
tion, and they finished the best. The
corn and Kaffir corn were fed whole for
the first eighty-three days. After that
both were ground. With all lots dur
ing the whole time Of the experiment
the roughage was fed whole. and the
grain was fed mixed with it.

CALLS YoUNGMAN BIeAMIST
His Wife Charges divorce Decree
Was Fraudulent and Asks IT
Set Aside.

Jennie L. Youngman petitions the dis
trict court Of Douglas county to set aside
a divorce decree secured by Joseph D..
Youngman, her erstwhile husband, October
IL last. She alleges and afirms that al
though he knew her address when he started
the suit the previous August he gave notice
only by publication in an Omaha weekly
and that she knew of no such suit until
July 20 OF this year. She further denies
the truth Of his allegation that she was
guilty of infdelity and she charges him
with bigamy because he married Hattie
uni a week after securing his improper
divorce decree and has since been living
with Hattie at 2433 Blonde street. More
important, she makes the assertion that
July 2, 1901, in Chicago she secured a de-
cree Of divorce on the ground Of inhdelity.
after he had withdrawn his answer to her
petition, and that that decree directed him
to pay her IS per week as alimony but that
he has refused to do so. She considers his
present course an effort to defraud her and
their little son Bryant of their rights.
Clara Hinton, who has been the wife of
Thayer since June IS, last, relates to the
court that he treated her cruelty while she
was sick in bed with typhoid fever and sub
sequently deserted her, and she asks to be
divorced.

No new chief was elected, and with the
exception Of Captain Tier no changes made
in the personnel of the force. The resig-
nation OF Captain Her as a member OF the

davit that the sergeant had sworn at him

chief can investigate an af1davit filed by J..
d. Vance. a Union Pacific Waterman. Vance
swore that he was taking a machinist to
the Webster street depot when the man
was attacked by a crowd OF strikers. He
motloned for Harald to come to him and
the strikers left. BY the time Harald ar
rived they we're out Of sight. When tho
officer started back on his beat the strikers
again caught the machinist, said Vance, and
beat him with a stick which they had taken
from Vance. Harald was informed where
the strikers and the machinist were, said
Vance, and answered that 1T would be a
good idea for Vance to follow them, as
they might kill the machinist." Vance said
Harald then walked away. This matter
was turned oyer to the chief to report at
the next meeting.
A resolution introduced by Thomas, or
dering the chief Of police to remove all

Park Commissioner Cornish was present
In the interest OF his board and urged the
committee to push forward the proceed
ings in this Improvement as rapidly as
possible. The city, he said. had secured
the condemnation OF $780, 900 worth Of
property with less cost and less trouble
than any such results had ever been &C
complished by any municipality in the
history of this country-or for that mat
ter the entire world. Four thousand lots
had been assessed with but thirty-ive
protests, and all of those had been set
tied without litigation.
A. L. Reed. who had been regarded as
not altogether satisfied with the plan OF
assessment. was in attendance at the meet
ing and said he; would not object except
upon the ground that the territory to be
assessed did not extend far enough. Ho
favored the idea Of including the property
just west Of Hanscom park. There was
some question among the members OF the
committee as to the fairness of including
property on the west Of Hanscom park. it
being argued by some of them that in that
locality there would be no actual benefits
from the boulevard. 1t was finally de-
cided, however, TO fx the boundary at
