F. F. Bramwell. field superintend-
ent of the La Grande sugar factory,
writes the Echo News an interesting
letter on beet culture, urging the land
owners of Echo to continue growing
beets.
He declares that the first crop
raised on Echo land was far over the
average on new land, and expressed
the belief that next years crop would
increase at least so per cent, and per-
haps 100 per cent over last year.
Among other statistics Mr. Bram-
well tells of the result of 4O-acre
tract which he farmed last year, and
which yielded as follows:
1 have made personal experiments
each year so that 1 can intelligently
reply to the question so many times
asked of me, and that is "How much
does it cost to produce an acre of su-
gar beets?" ..r
1 will now give the data of this
year, as the same appears on our Of
flee books, and which can be seen by
nay one interested.
l had five acres of land of my own
and rented 35 acres more for which 1
paid as rent the sum of $2S2.50; beet
seed cost me $3.50; labor, such as
thinning, pulling and topping and
loading, cost me $561.20; besides this
labor / had a man hired for four
months at $1.25 per day, and furnish
ed my own team, excepting the plow-
ing, which is represented in the above.
1 sold the entire crop of beets for
$2240.79. Allowing the man four
months wages would amount to about
$3.50, which yet leaves me the snug
sum of S1154.79.
The matter of rent alone is high
and represents as much per acre as
generally had from an acre of land
and even more than can be had year
after year.
You will note that 1 received for
absolutely nothing the sum of ST.
1919. These are not inflated fig
ures, but are on the book here repre-
senting the several charges for labor
as the same has been performed.
In addition to the foregoing my
team hauled beets during the harvest
time for something like $500, which
really represents a gain.

GUST THE DEMON.
A Tussle with Coffee.

There is something fairly demoni-
acal in the way coffee sometimes
wreaks it's fendish malice on those
who use it.
A lady writing from California says:
my husband and I, both lovers Of
coffee, suffered for some time from
very annoying form Of nervousness, ac-
companied by most frightful head
aches In my own case there was
eventually developed some sort of af-
lection Of the nerves leading from the
spine to the head.
II was unable to hold my head up
straight, the tension of the nerves
drew it to one side, causing me the
most intense pain. We got no reller
from medicine, and were puzzled as TO
what caused the trouble, till friend
suggested that possibly the coffee we
drank had something to do with 1t,
and advised that we quit 1t and try
Postum Coffee.
1--WE followed lis advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve. and In
very short time both of US we're entire
~ relieved The nerves became steady
once more, the headaches ceased, the
muscles in the back of my neck relax
ed, my head Strengthened up and the
dreadful pain that had so punished me
while / used the old kind of coffee
vanished.
I'VE have never resumed the use OF
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
every day as well as we did the former
beverage And we are delighted to
find that we can give it freely to our
children also, something we never
dared to do with the old kind of cot
fee" Name given by Postum Co, Bat
tie Creek, Mich.
Postum Coffee contains absolutely
no drugs of any kind, but relieves the
coffee drinker from the old drug pol
son.
There's q reason.

Since vague rumblings of discomfort
on the part of the anthracite miners have
been heard the Reading and Pennsylva-
MIA, especially the former, have been lay
ing up unusual quantities of coal. 1t is
significant that an official, high in the
Reading Coal and Iron Company, recent
ly declared that by next April the COM
pany would have ON hand supply Of
anthracite sufficient for one year. Should
President Mitchell remain firm in his
announced intention of presenting the
miners ultimatum to Baer at the con-
clusion of the agreement now in force
strike surely will follow
Should Baer and the operators agree
to meet Mitchell the latter's demands
are certain to be refused, and the an
thracite regions again will be the scene
of a monster strike. Since the last
strike, however, conditions have changed
considerably and, for a variety of causes,
the miners would find themselves face
to face with a greater uphill fight. Stor-
ing up of coal by operators shows they
will be more prepared for the crisis in
1906 than they were in 1902, and the
miners chances of producing a fuel fam
inc will be diminished accordingly.
The miners Offset this, however by
declaring that, as the soft coal agree
ments, where such have been made, will
expire simultaneously with the life of the
anthracite strike commissions decision,
the United Mine Workers, which have
jurisdiction in both hard and soft coal
fields, will inaugurate a universe. strike.
