The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1902-03-26

There is going to be another scrap
for the state guard encampment this
summer, and Paducah is going to be
in it. II is said that paducah and
Lexington are after the honor, with
chances in favor of Paducah. II is
hoped this is true. Paducah will al
ways be at a disadvantage in such
competitions, however, because there
is no military company here. 1t is a
sad commentary ON the progressiveness
of the people that Paducah is about
the only important city in the state
that has no military company. Even
cities the size Of Msyfield and Fulton
have them. Il isn't that there is not
plenty of good material here, but
simply that the people are indiffer-
emit, apparently, to such things, and
take absolutely no pride in the city and
in being as up-to-date as other places.

REFINING BEET SUGAR.
1t Has to BE Ground. Boiled and Fill
tered to Make 1t Fit for Con-
sumption.

Before beet sugar is fit for consump-
ton it must be refined. The flavor OF
raw or brown beet sugar is SO objec-
tionable that the only buyer of it
would be sugar retiner. For this
reason a small home mill, such as is
sometimes used for cane or sorghum,
is entirely unsuitable for the produce
ton of beet sugar.
The grinding process, both for cane
and the beet root, is very intricate
Some people have an idea that the beet
sugar is made from the ordinary red
beet. 1t is the yellow beet that pro-
duces the sugar. After going through
the grinding process and in being
filtered the impurities are extracted
from the juice, which is boiled in cans
to a grain. 1t is then turned into raw
sugar. 1t is melted into hogsheads,
bags and baskets and sent to the re-
fnery. There the sugar is placed in q
melting pan and pumped to the top
of the refinery, where it is clarified
with the aid of phosphate of lime. A.
filtering process follows and the sugar
is run over bone black. The mechan-
ical impurities are extracted by an
other filtering process and all organic
impurities are removed, too.
The sugar is then again boiled to q
grain and separated in grades, after
which it is transferred to tanks, called
coolers, and thence through cen-
trifugal fumes which spills all of the
liquor and leaves as residue the re-
fined sugar, which is driven into bins
and is ready for packing.
There are about 16 grades of sugar.

The Daily News says: "Itseems likely
that Mr.. Hays note of remonstrance
on the persecution of the Roumanian
Jews will be fruitless. Great Britain
is probably the one power which will
take action in its favor"
Perhaps it will be we'll to refer to
that portion of the Berlin treaty
bearing on the subject. The gist of it
is given as follows: "The recognition
of Roumanian independence was con-
ditioned on the tession of BesSar-
abba to Russia, and the admission to
political equality of the members of
all relgions-a condition which has
special reference to the Jews" AS to
whether or not the political equality
of the members of all religions has
been observed in Roumania, we give

NEW VIEW OF WEEDS.
sOr Considers Them of Great
Value to Farmers,

One of our most distinguished agri-
cultural professors says that weeds.
are friends of the farmers. They
cover the barren land and keep it,openA
and moist. They catch the fertility
with their roots and thus save it from
teaching away. Some time ago Prof.
Bailey, of Cornell, purchased 300
acre farm that was overrun with
weeds. He got it cheap on that ac-
count. The weeds grew rank and tall
and the professor regarded himself
as having great bargain. He plowed
the weeds under and thus began to.
bring the land back to it's original
state of fertility. The weeds made
just so much green manuring. Among
the weeds are many of great value to
the land, such as the vetches. They
add nitrogen to the soil. In state
of nature the soil is kept supplied
with nitrogen largely by the many va
rieties of leguminosae that are found
in all localities. The weeds purify the
AIR by taking in carbonic acid gas
and by throwing off oxygen. This is
true till they begin to decay, when
they take in oxygen and throw off
the carbonic acid gas. in that condi-
ton they are supposed to be menace
to health, thought it may we'll be
doubted if the carbonic acid gas is
large enough in volume to affect
health. The best way to get rid OF
weeds is to sow blue grass seed
wherever the weeds are grown.

Tane.t Tree. That Grow.

The highest trees in the world are
the eucalyptus trees, which are
famous because it is believed that
they have the quality of purifying
regions that are cursed with fever.
There are nearly 100 different varie.
ties of eucalyptus, nearly all Of
which reach great heights. The big.
gest variety produces trees that
grow to such enormous heights that
no structure in the world can com,
pare with them. Trees have been
measured that were 800, 4O5 and even
$50 feet high. They are not as big
around as would be expected, the
largest being only little more than
25 feet in girth. The trees are won.
derfully swift in growth. In south.
ern France a eucalyptus tree that
was planted 20 years ago was meas
ured recently, and it was found that
it was 102 feet tall.

because of his espousal of tn. cause

made pilgrimage from London to
Bucharest for the purpose of awaken
ing King Charles to realization Of
the unhappy state of the Jewish peo-
pie within his domain. The king and
queen Carmen Sylva) gave attentive
audience to DR.. Caster, and invited
suggestions from him in regard to the
settlement of the trouble now dis
turbing the land and threatening it
with sore disaster.
Roumania hates the Jews, and yet
she does not want them to leave. DR..
Caster speaks of Them as the only
economic factor in the country, and
says the large peasant class is, and al
ways has been, on friendly terms with
them. The ruling class drives them
from pillar to post, taking from them
~one occupation after another. The
number of Jews at present in the
country is estimated at 100000.
From time to time legislation to do
away with the persecution of the Jews
is proposed, but harsh anti-Jewish
laws abound rather than reformatort
measures. 1t is said that within the
last five years at least $4,000 Jews.

left the country. Jewish societies
have cooperated with the refugees,
and many of them have found homes

them are now looking.

fat rocks for the half barrel to rest
upon. He made a similar foundation
eight or ten feet down the run

ran bit of iron pipe from the

The one over the spring had a square
opening made in the head, which was
left in to give firm support to the
slaves, and hinged cover put on
top. A hinged cover was also pro-
vided for the lower half barrel, SO
that it can be closed when desired.

of amazing. They began by making
all Jews aliens. Later the police We're
given rights of domiciliary visitation
and expulsion; in other words, the
Jews house was no longer his castle
in Roumania. Then they were pro-
hibited from street hawking, which
ruined 5000 families. They were ex-
cluded from membership in the cham
bers of commerce and trade. Law by
law they were driven out of the pro-
fessional classes and confined to the
artisan class. Then the artisan en-
pigments were slowly closed to them
until in March of this year a law was
passed prohibiting the employment of
Jewish workmen in any trade or call
ing, and forbidding their even attend
ing the meetings of trade or artisan
societies.

They were excluded altogether from
the higher schools and the technical
schools. They were not only driven
out of public service and from public
works, but fines were enacted from
Roumanians employing Jews in retail
trade. 1t is estimated that the arti-
san law of last March will soon de-
prive $4,000 Jewish workmen of all
means of livelihood, and reduce over
100000 men, women and children to
beggary. Although taxed for the sup
port of local hospitals, they may not
enter those institutions. Punishment
for offenses committed against them
are made light, or RENTED alto

beaten with impunity. Their sons are

STRAW FOR LIVE STOCK.
In Many Sections 1t VIII Relieve the
Shortage of Hay to a Consider.
able Extent.

In many parts of the country the
hay crop was very short, even in
some places being almost an entire
failure. The corn crop of course,
will be immense, and for home uses
the corn stover will largely relieve
the hay shortage. If, however, no
roughage but corn stover is fed, the
animals get pretty tired of it, and
will not consume as much of it as
if they could have change. Now,
if the wheat and oats straw be saved
bright and dry, large quantities of it
will be eaten by the cows and young
cattle if fed to them once q day with
the slower. Even if there should be
good supply of hay about the place,
if it can be sold, and straw made to
substitute for part of it, there will
often be more profit in selling it than
in feeding it.
There are always enough nutrients
i'll bright, clean straw to pay the an
imal for eating it, and in the alb
sence of sufficient more nutritious
folders, i: serves the good mechani-
cal Office in the digestive operation of
distending the stomach, or rather, of
filling it. For this quantity Of
bulky feed is essential In the ration
| for its most economical animal as
similation, and where large quantities
of concentrated feeds are given
straw will often take the place of
more expensive material.
| Even on our western farms, where
straw is usually valued highly, many
farmers maintaining that they can
only afford to grow wheat at pres
ent prices in consideration of hav-
ing the straw for bedding, we waste
large quantities by using an I'M
necessary amount for bedding, when
part of it should be used in the
hangers.
If straw for bedding is cut into
about one-inch lengths it will be
found that about one-third as much
as is used for each cow when uncut
will keep the COW clean and be many
times more valuable as an absorbent.
When we shall have so far advanced
i'll our methods of economically car
ing for, and properly using, every-
thing of value that our farms md
our labor produce, then we will feed
much more straw than now.-Farm

Wood Ashes for III. p,v.

The best pigs that we ever raised
had all the wood ashes, with little
salt mixed in it, that they would eat,
says &C. Green, the well-known bre ed
erof Winchester, Ind. We think II is
much better to keep a mixture of
wood ashes and a little salt in a. box
where the pigs can go to it at will.
They will go and get the ashes in the
morning before they will eat their
feed. We do not think it best to mix
the ashes in the slop or feed, as that
would make them eat more than thew
would want, and might be more than
they ought to have. We have found
soft I've soap, made from wood ashes,
to be good to feed pigs to make them
hearty and grow well. We think wood
ashes and a little salt, kept where the
hogs can get it, are worth more than
all the cholera remedies put together.
