Richness of Sugar Beets.

As a rule medium-sized beets are
richer than either small or large beets.
By medium-sized beets is meant such
as weigh from one to two pounds.
Large beets, weighing from two to
four or eight pounds, or even more,
may be as rich in sugar and have as
high coefficient of purity as beets
of one pound or less, if grown under
the same conditions. If not grown
under the same conditions they cannot
be compared. Even big beets grown
under different conditions cannot be
compared. Two beets, weighing re-
spectiyely 2.ss and 200 pounds, grown
in the same plot of ground within 200
feet of one another, but under differ
ent conditions in regard to water sup
ply, showed 10.45 per cent. sugar, go
per cent. purity and 1906 per cent.
sugar and s5.1 purity. Big beets may
be rich beets, the size alone is not de-
terminative.-W. T. Headden, in
Farmers Review.

The young foal should be left en-

have rolled by and as gray hairs have
whitened their heads, the incident has
been many times recalled to their
minds. Neither felt like being the
first to make overtures. and both re-
garded their quarrel with sacredness
that prevented either from suggesting
reconciliation, even though forgive
ness was in their hearts.
Both are first cousins of Policeman
Dobson, who for some time had had
their reconciliation in mind. He had
been planning to get the "old vets" to-
gether, and so he invited Anderson to
visit him. Anderson accepted, and ar
rived in this city on Sunday morn
ing. At dinner time a number Of
guests arrived, and among the number
was Ella. The meeting of the cousins,
after Al years of estrangement, dur
ing which both fought for five years on
opposing sides in a great war, was af-
fecting. Suffice it to say that never
were two men made happier. Over a
table laden with good things they ate
and talked and laughed as only two
men under similar circum stances could
afford to do. And Policeman Dobson
was as well pleased as either, for he
had routed the old feeling of each and
compelled both to raise flag of truce.
They visited the old sycamore tree
on Jacksboro street and called to mind
their old quarrel, which they now re-
hearse in the friendliest spirit and in
the light of reason, without pre- iudice
and with all their anger gone.

Too Much of a Good Thing.

Word comes from the west that
some farmers are running their lands
by over-irrigating them. The land
should be given the water it needs and
no more. That applies to the humid
as well as to the arid states. The con-
slant downward movement of water
teaches the fertility out of the upper
soil where it is available and carries
it into portion of the soil where it
is not available. In years of moderate
rain it works away from the surface.
if too much water is applied in irriga-
tion a great deal of the fertility is car
ried to subterrarean channels or to
surface streams. II just enough water
is used there is little surplus to drain
away and most of the fertility carried
down into the substratas is subse-
quently brought back again.

They waded In and Recap
tured Them,

Early in the civil war the battle of
Wilson's creek was fought in Missouri,
and among the organizations engaged
was Schwartz's battery, the members
of which were almost exclusively Ger
mans. These men were good, sturdy
fighters. Toward the end of the bat
tie, with victory perching on the union
banners, a sergeant of the battery ap-
peared before group of officers and
inquired the whereabouts. of Grant.
The commander was pointed out to
him and he advanced, saluted and
said:
"Schwartz's bat'ry vas took, gem
raj"
How was that?' asked Grant.
"V'y, gen'ral, it vas like dis" said
the sergeant, marking the plan on the
of the other. Here vos Won hill; dere

"You spiked the guns, of course?'
asked Grant.
''Vat? Spike dose guns-dose brant-
new pooty guns?" asked the sergeant,
seemingly dumbounded.
swell, what did you do?" asked
Grant, somewhat impatiently.
"Spike dem pooty guns?" repeated
the sergeant, "No, py damn! We
took 'em back again!"

Jasper Flint left the library building.
Three weeks later he stood ten miles

"Drill along these lines" he said,

The men obeyed. They found that

had been an opening in the rock. In
an hour the inserted Bit of masonry
was free. The men removed it and
looked at their employer. The profes.

BACK TO NATURE.

Away. away from the city,
with its turmoil and It's din,
TO the hills. the fields and forests,
Far from the paths OF sin.
Away from the sight of buildings
That men In their pride have made,
TO the everlasting mountains
Whose foundations God hath laid.
Away where the flowers are growing,
Not planted by gardeners hand.
But sowed by the Autumn zephyr,
Which dropped them at Gods command
Away away, from the shallow
And empty praises of men,
To the hush and peace of the wild woods
And God will speak to you then.

While in Brownsville engaged in
shopping on Christmas eve, Mrs. P.
Merrill Griffith of Matamoros was
so unfortunate as to lose her watch,
a valuable time piece, somewhere
in the neighborhood of Layton &
Haley's store. As soon as she
discovered her loss, she informed
Consul Griffith and he went to look
for the watch. Search at Layton &
Haley's proved unavailing. Cross
ing the street, Mr.. Griffith stopped
to ask a Mexican dulcero if he had
seen anything of the lost timepiece,
and in response the man drew the
watch from his pocket and handed
it to the consul. Another Mexican
had found the watch on the Street
nearby, and gave it to the dulcero
to keep for the owner in case the
latter should come looking for it.
Mr.. Griffith, needless to say, was
delighted to find his wife's watch
SO promptly, and he was even more
pleased at the honesty of the two
poor men who had found and restor-
ed it to him. The dulcero was
made the richer by gift of five
dollars from the consul.
The Christmas trees at the Epis-
copal and Presbyterian Churches
on Christmas eve were most sue

trees were very handsome. At each
