A. Back-Hanced Compliment from

'In my thirty odd years OF exist

reward Is the pride ! take In the

daughter But IL took a stranger TO
bring the truth home TO me with real
force.
1.-THE other day ! was on one OF the
ferries with my baby girl and was en-

evidently was receiving from the
other passengers One woman, after
watching the child and myself intont-

positive tone:

She certainly is replied rather

Practical jokes are not 10 be en-

really funny. For instance. the driver
of watering cart in New York had
lot OF fun wetting down some electric
company men who were laying wires
in trench. He passed them several
times, and each time they got
sprinkled. The next time he came
along the electricians had live wire
deftly rugged so that as the funny
watering cart man reached the place
he got shock that hurled him from
his seat and ELECTED shrek of pain
and terror. The electrical experts
laughed last.

Home Grown sugar Beet Seed.

Dulletln OF the united States bo'
partment OF Agriculture says:
II is believed that the average sugar
content OF beets in this country can
be increased to 3 per cent when we
shall have developed higher strain
of beets through homegrown seed.
On account OF the higher vitality OF
the germ these experiments indicate
that we shall have a race OF beets
more vigorous from the start.
In the production of beets for a fac
tory the vitality OF the seed as shown
by termination is an important factor.
II is the first evidence of the probable
yield OF the crop that the grower looks
for Everything depends upon the
stand. 1t is desired that beet shall
fiji every place in the row provided
for It, IL is evident that IL every
third beet is missing there will be only
two-thirds of stand OF plants ma
tured at the harvest II the rows are
IS inches apart and the beets stand s
inches apart in the row, there will be
3l2 beets TO the row, and 1873 2-3 rows
TO the acre. IL every beet is In It's
place there will be 43,264 beets TO The
acre. II these beets average one
the acre, equal to 21.63 tons. II the
beets average two pounds. which is
more nearly the usual size, We will
have 1926 tons per acre. This shows
the possible tonnage per acre when
all conditions are favorable and we
have perfect stand Vitality of seed
Is strong factor in reaching this
ideal.
The plants should start out strong.
| vigorous and healthful. They must
send down their taproots vigorously,
| and send out their laterals quickly;
! this enables them TO entrench them
selves early in the soil. Plants are
| like animals. Vigor in youth prom
| Uses much for healthful maturity
Strong vitality or terminating power
OF the seed indicates this early vigor,
| which will enable the plants to with
| stand diseases, pests and drought.
The number OF sprouting germs in a
given number of beet balls and the
vigor and rapidity OF termination are
| the tests of this vitality. Homegrown
| seed has shown a higher terminating
| power in shorter time than those
| selected from ordinary imported seed.
| From these facts 1t would appear that
| we are entitled to anticipate higher
| yield OF beets from the use of home.
| grown highly developed beet seed.
The extraction of refined sugar In
this country averages IL per cent
or 300 pounds OF refined sugar to q
ton OF beets. The factory pays the
farmer for this sugar S2.27 per hun
dredweight while 1t is still in the
beet. If the factory could extract i;
per cent of sugar on account OF ouI
perfecting strain of beets Will
higher sugar content and purity
through homegrown seed, ton O
beets would yield 40 pounds more 81
gar, worth at the factory $3.50. This
alone would give the factory &c PEI
cent profit upon the investment OF 81
per ton for beets. This seems quite
possible. Homegrown seed to-day CT
fers the most encouraging prospect o
insuring the future growth and pros
perity OF the beet sugar industry

 Little Rock is greatly agitated by the announcement of the birth of a four-legged chicken, the property of MT. l.. F. Wilson. The Gazette heralds this addition to freakdom as "an awful men, ace to the happiness of the hu- man race," for "even now a dish of fowl seems to contain about twelve legs to one breast" and just think of how much garden seed this type of a neighbours chicken may scratch up." These soul-stirring lamentations call forth the sympathy of the whole state and may yet land the apos- trophized chicken within the tented walls of the side-show and thus prevent a most useful and savoury biped from becom- inp a nuisance.
