Robbed The Grave.

A startling incident, is narrated by
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, as
follows: II was in an awful condi-
ton. Ny skin was almost yellow, eyes
sunken, tongue coated, pain continually
in back and sides, no appetite, growing
weaker day by day. Three physicians
had given me up. Then 1 was advised
to use Electric Bitters; to my joy, the
first bottle made a decided improve
ment. continued their use for three
weeks, and am now a well man. 1

Effect Of Sugar eeets on Soil.
From the Michigan Farmer.


1t has been repeatedly urged by those
opposed to the extension of the beet
growing industry in the United States
that the crop has very deleterious eff
feet upon the SOIL In contradiction of
this assertion the Beet Sugar Gazette
states that a German farm of 625 acres
produced, before the introduction of
beet culture, yearly 9,736 bushels of
grain in ten years average. After beet
culture was introduced, with 1876 acres
yearly to beets, the average yearly grain
crop from the remaining 500 acres was
$3.50 bushels, or 1874 bushels increase.
Another farm in the province of Saxony
also OF 625 acres, produced before beet
culture was introduced, in ten years
average, 1880 bushels of grain. When
five years afterwards 1876 acres were
planted with beets the grain crop of the
remaining 400 acres was 1896 bushels
average, and afterwards, when yearly
22O acres o. beets were planted, the
average grain crop from the remaining
4O5 acres was 1897 bushels, or 51S
bushels more than from the whole 625
acres before beets were raised.
These figures prove the truth of the
assertion recently made in The Farmer
that the cultivation of the sugar beet in
Michigan need not cut down other crops
on the farm, and that it should be re-
garded as an additional crop on the
farm. There is no doubt but that beet
growing makes careful and exact meth
DDS a necessity, and these methods are
reflected in the other crops grown on the
farm. 1t is an established fact that
beet growing, wherever followed, has
resulted in the production Of larger
crops. From treatise by Richard Won
Kaumann on the beet sugar industry in
Europe, the following extract is taken:
1T is an established fact that notwith-
standing the extensive cultivation of
sugar beets. no decrease in the yield of
cereals has taken place, but it has, on
the contrary, augmented by double and
treble the amount in the districts where
sugar beets are planted, and that at
those very places the production of
meat is steadily increasing. The growth
OF sugar beets requires that the soil be
titled to greater depth, thus adding to
the thrift also of other plants to be cul-
tivated later on the same soil. Besides,
the remnants of waste left in the manu-
facture of beet sugar furnish not only
an excellent food for cattle, but also a
fertilizing stuff, dispensing to consid-
cradle extent with the use of artificial
manure. But the profit is also consider
able which this industry affords people
who work in the sugar manufactures,
as they get employment throughout the
whole year, during the spring and sum-
mer seasons in the growing and cultiva-
tion of the beets, and during the fall and
winter in the manufactures,

FoRDNEY REFUSES TO LAY
DOWN.
The Congressman Home From the
West Says He Will Fight Re
ciprocity.

The Congressman Home From the
West Says He Will Fight Re-
ciprooity.
Congressman Fordney arrived home
from the far west Saturday afternoon.
He had been in Washington and Oregon
for several months looking after the
timber interestsin which he and num-
Der of Saginaw gentlemen are interest
ed. When asked about the business, he
said:
"Yes, we have bought some timber
and we have sold some. Business in the
west is very active. I expect to be
here now until am obliged to leave for
Washington to attend the special SEES
sion of congress which has been called.
What will they do with Sugar Beet
Joe, this timer"
"That's hard to tell. am going to
fight the thing to the end. Of course,
the shape the thing is in makes it a
hard fight, but l am not going to give
up until am beaten"
What are you going to do with Will
liam Alden Smith,
HE may lay down if he wants to,
but shall keep right on the same line,
and tell you think there is chance
that we will win. We have got two
chances. We may win in congress. If
we don't, believe the bill is unconsti-
tutional and we will try it in the
courts"
Mr.. Fordney said he had had very
pleasant summer, and was enjoying
good health.-Saginaw Courier Herald.

Where They Stand.

The beet sugar manufacturers Of
Michigan are not backward in declaring
themselves on the Cuban reciprocity
question regardless of the fact that half
of the Michigan houses are in the grasp
of the trust. The Manufacturers As
ISOLATION is composed of all the beet
sugar manufacturers Of the state re-
CARELESS of their trust affiliations, and
that the body should declare against re-
ciprocity shows where the trust stands
on the proposition. At late meeting
of the association the following resolu-
ton was adopted:
Whereas, The congress of the United
States is intended to be convened in ex-
ira session prior to the term of the next
regular session thereof; and
Whereas, The Cuban reciprocity
treaty is before the said session as a
special measure, which proposes re-
duction of the import duties upon raw
cane sugar from Cuba; therefore
Resolved, BY the Michigan Sugar
Manufacturers association, that we pro-
test against the adoption of any measure,
act or treaty that will have in effect any
reduction of the present custom duties
on importations of raw sugar from
Cuba
In behalf of which resolution we sub
NIT the following:
That any interference with the pres
ent tariff laws, especially directed as in
the proposed Cuban reciprocity treaty,
is contrary to the letter and spirit of the
protection which is guaranteed to Ameri-
can industries
That any such special legislation in
behalf OF Cuba is not necessary, as the
development of the cane sugar industry
during the past three years and at the
present time, has demonstrated the
ability of said industry to take care of
itself.
That the approval of the said Cuban
reciprocity treaty is inimical to the in
terests of the farmers and agriculturists
and menace to the beet sugar manu-
facturers; and be it further
Resolved, That copy hereof be and
the same is hereby ordered to be mailed
to the members of the senate and house
of representatives of the state of Michi-
gan in the congress of the United States,
and to the committee of said senate and
house Representatives having the mat
ter in charge, prior to the assembling of
the next congress.

MIR. Fordney's Equipment.

BrOm the Saginaw Courier Herald.
The constituent parts of the house
ways and means committee, which has
greater influence upon the material
prosperity of the country than any other
force or factor in national legislation, is
seen to be matter of considerable i'm
portance when once it is analysed. If
Tins great committee is made up entirely
of men of practically the same occupa-
fion or training it is not likely that the
necessities of other large interests, when
they are attacked, or require legislative
adjustment, can have the same intelli-
gent attention that they would natural
by have if they had representation on the
committee.
Take the ways and means committee of
the last house. 1t was made up of ID law
ysrs, Messrs. Payne, Hopkins, Dalzell,
Grosvenor, Steel Tawney, Long, Met
calf, Richardson, Robertson, Swanson,
Mcclellan, Newlands and Cooper; one
lawyer and editor, Mccall; and two
manufacturers, Russell and Babcock.
Only two members, it will be seen, were
representative of the business interests
Of the county Three of the foregoing
members will not be in the next house,
6nt' it is pretty sure that most of the
members returned will be again on the
committee, it being the practice to keep
men there as long as possible.
1t will be seen that there are sound
reasons why the frien is of the congress
man from the Eighth Michigan district
should urge his appointment to the
ways and means committee by Speaker
Cannon aside from personal
desire. Mr.. Fordney is business man,
arainSd and bred, and his experience has
hesn long and continuous with business
xGfaiBs Men of his qualifications are
needed upon this business com mittee-
men who know business and business
matters practically and not theoretical
~. He has an active sympathy with in
Sastrial life-in manufacture, general
business and agriculture. His ability
p committee work is recognized in the
1Guse, ana it could be utilized to best
advantage on the ways and means
Take numbering, for instance. The
humber interests of the country will I'M
7ambtedly be deeply interested if there
mould be any attempted revision or
changes in the tariff at this session. Mr..
Fordney is a practical and active lum-
herman, with nearly thirty years ex
pssience in the business. His knowledge
Ssf the lumber industry certainly would
make him of great value on the COM
znittee when questions relating to it
c,ozne up. He would be able to bring to
H2seir consideration as comprehensive
m equipment for careful and conserva-
live discussion and action as any man
NOW in congress. Producer and con-
SINNER alike would feel that their inter
eSts would be conscientiously looked
after, and they would also have the
knowledge that questions involved
would be as intelligently mastered and
handled as Mr.. Fordney mastered and
handled the questions that arose last

and copper deposits in Alaska, others
have been searching for diamonds, and
according to recent reports they have
been successful in finding few valuable

for something far more precious than
gold or diamonds and that is-health.
They have tried this medicine and that
