SUGAR BEETS.
Points of Interest For the Growers
From Michigan Experience.

From Michigan Experience.
Director G. D. Smith Of the Michigan
experiment station reports the expert
meDtS made with sugar beetS last sea-
son. His summary of results contains
q number of items of interest to beet
growers. 1t is found, among other
things, that lifting the beets seems to
prevent in one instance the change Of
composition of the beets SO treated and
leads to the probability that thus treat
ing field of beets at the conclusion of
a long, hot, dry period and preceding
rain will prevent the usual extreme de-
cline in sugar content due to the sec
0nd growth which takes place when
the taproot is left undisturbed.
The farmer has but little control
over the per cent of sugar in his beets.
If he grow them on undigested muck
or apply nitrate of soda after the LIST
of July he may increase the tonnage
at the expense of the per cent of sugar;
otherwise he can influence but little if
any the quality Of the crop. The rich
ness in sugar depends upon the season,
of continuous sunshine, next upon the
soil, the sandy loans giving richeH&
beets in one season and the clay loans
in another, and finally upon the seed.
The ability to produce beets of uni
form excellence is not yet sufficiently
fixed to warrant the expectation that
where a field is Sown to beet seed Ell
Their imported or grown in America the
beets will contain Is per cent of sugar
or more.
The not infrequent abuse of the soil
by growing three crops of beets in sue
cession on the same land is exceeding
ly injurious, the crops growing on the
soil thus abused being less than on adj
iacent plots where normal rotation is
followed.
1t pays to use commercial fertilizers
containing nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash at the usual prices. Most
soils need all three constituents. TAX
ing the experiments Of 1903 in connec-
ton with those which preceded them,
it is safe to conclude that the nitrates
are always in demand even on the rich
est soils. They should Of course be APP
piled early. Potash is needed on near
ly all Michigan soils Phosphoric acid
increases the yield in every case ex-
cept on soil giving nearly fifteen tons
to the acre without the addition of
commercial fertilizers.
AS a result Of observations for five
years it is recommended that the rows
be no nearer than twenty inches and
that on all ordinary soils not treated
with stable manures or commercial
fertilizers the distance may well be
twenty-four inches or even twenty
eight inches.

rba Tbrfving Turkey Industry.

There never has been more active
demand for market turkeys than dur
ing the past ten years, and there is no
reason why this should not increase
very materially in the next few years
as a result of the growth OF popula-
ton. The census of 1900 shows that
with a little over 100000 farms in
the United States, not much over
100000 turkeys were produced.
Among the states Texas is in the lead,
having produced almost 650,000 tur-
keys. Following Texas come Missouri,
Illinois, Iowa, Ohio and Indiana in the
order named. The state Of Rhode Is
land produced less than 5000 turkeys.
1t may be remarked, however, that if
all the turkeys were of such good quail
ity as those produced i'll Rhode Island
their value would be nearly doubled,
and they would return CORRESPONDENCE
greater profits.

MRS. MAVERICK SET FREE.
Famous American Convict Leaves the Soil OF
England.

Truro, Cornwall, England, (By
Cable).-Mrs. Florence Maybrick, the
noted American convict, is free al
last. She left here at II.43 on her
way to France.
Her imprisonment was not ter.
minated with the clang of doors, the
last sound which remains in the ears
of so many of her fellow-prisoners
who had proceeded her to liberty
from Aylesbury Prison, where she
spent almost IS years of her life. II
closed before the arched doorway OF
the white convent of the Sisterhood
of Epiphany in this little town. where
she had been sent on probation, the
black-robed Sisters softly utterine
their blessings and good wishes fol
her future.
With two companions, Mrs. May.
brick entered the carriage of Mis-:
Dalrymple, secretary of the sister
hood, and was driven rapidly to
Staustell, a small station IA miles
away, where, after exchanging good
bys with her companions, she board
ed a train and started on her journey
to France. She will not go tc
America until her presence there is
considered imperatively necessary in
the settlement of the lawsuit about
her estates.

FLEET TO CEASE OPERATIONS.
No More Merchants TO Be Seized and Auxi;.
iary Cruisers May Leave Red Sea.

St. Petersburg, CBy Cable).-Orders
have been sent to the volunteer feet
steamers St. Petersburg and Smolensk
to refrain from interference with
foreign shipping.
1t is expected these steamers will
eventually join the Baltic fleet and be
replaced by ordinary warships.
Grand Duke Alexis presided at the
council, which Count Lamsdorff, the
foreign secretary, and Vice-Admiral
Avellan, chief of the admiralty de-
partment, and other high naval Off
GERS attended.
The result OF the conference re-
moves all doubts concerning the pres
ent attitude of Russia with regards
to the volunteer feet. The validity OF
the view expressed in the British note
regarding the irregularity Of the posi-
tion of the the vessels was so far ad-
mitted that the council agreed to
waive the right of search.
After long discussion, in which
Count Lamsdorff took leading part,
it was decided that the present status
of the volunteer fleet was not suf-
ficiently well defined, according to
international law to render further
searches and seizures advisable, and
that therefore Russia, in the interests
of friendly relations with the powers,
should withdraw the authority given
the volunteer feet in this respect.
