The blood is the life" Science has
never gone beyond that simple state
ment of scripture. But it has illuminate
ed that statement and given it a mean
ing ever broadening with the increasing
breadth Of knowledge. When the blood
is bad . or impure it is not alone the
body which suffers through disease.
The brain is also clouded the mind and
judgment are affected, and many an
evil deed or impure thought may be di-
rectly traced to the impurity of the
blood. No one can be well balanced in
mind and body whose blood is impure.
Foul blood can be made pure by the use
of DR.. Pierce 5 Golden Medical Discovery.
When the blood is pure, body and brain
are alike healthy and life becomes a
daily happiness.

OTHER DAYS RECALLED.

Mr.. c. E. Jennison, of Bay City,
Michigan, is visiting his nephew, w. j.
Badly, Esq, in this city. Mr. Jennison
was at one time resident of Danville,
leaving here for the West in 1850. He
has never lost his interest in his old
home and during his absence Of half a
century, he has periodically visited Dan
Vile
Mr. JennisOn owns several fine farms
in the vicinity of Bay City. Hei much in
terested in the culture of the sugar beet,
which has become an enormous and con
stantly growing industry in Michigan.
During a conversation with a repre-
sentative of this paper Thursday Mr..
Jennison said that he can not under
stand why the cultivation Of beets for
sugar, which is yielding big dividends
to investors and enriching the farmers
of Michigan, has not been taken up in
this state, where the soil, he has no
doubt, would prove well adapted.
Mr.. Jennison has so much practical in
formation at command and manifests so
much interest in our farming cOmmuni-
ty that this paper gladly lends its col
umns to short discussion of the sub
ject, presenting the significant facts and
figures adduced.
In the vicinity of Bay City are four
large sugar factories, which for the com
ing year have contracted for %, 600 acres
of beets Mr.. Jennison is largely inter
ested in a cooperative sugar factory,
which, he says, pays handsome divid-
ends. He has with him a sample of the
product of their plant, the finest grade
Of granulated sugar.
In most instances, the factories, he
said, are built by outside capital, the
farmers merely guaranteeing to raise
the beets. To supply what may be re-
quired some farmers put out forty or
sixty acres; the most however, less. He
had one of these farmers in mind who
last year had nine acres under cultiva-
tion and whose net profits We're $40 per
acre. To yield profit, beets must not fall
below u per cent sugar; many go high
er, varying according to the quality of
the soil and the care taken in cultiva-
ton. One ton of beets ought to produce
210 to 235 pounds of sugar.
Mr.. Jennison would like to see the
cultivation of sugar beets tried in this
section and he says it would pay our
farmers to send a couple of wide awake
to Michigan for the pur
pose of investigating the subject. If
they mean business, he says, they will
have no difficulty in interesting capital
there assuming that local money men
have not confidence enough to invest
who will gladly come east and erect a
factory upon condition that the farmers
here will pledge themselves to raise the
beetS
Any soil which will raise wheat and
corn, Mr.. Jennison says, will produce
sugar beets.

Narrow Tires Spoil Roads.

One Of the most prolific causes Of
bad roads is the narrowness Of the
wagon tires in common use, says Gen
eral Roy Stone. They cut out great
ruts, and when these ruts are filed
with moisture they cut still deeper and
mix with the water the new dirt cut
from the bottom into mud and slush.
So in bad weather the ordinary wagon
tire Is rutmaker and q mud mixer.
