BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.

The beet sugar Industry in the Unit
ed States is growing rapidly and the
states west of the Mississippi river now
produce $4,000 tons more sugar than
they can consume. In addition to this
| east of the Mississippi 25400o,O00
pounds are produced, or equal TO over
II per cent. of the consumption of this
same trans mississippi area. This is
brought out in a report just issued by
the department of agriculture on the
| domestic sugar production of the Unit
ed States.
This Increase in the industry is of
much Importance TO the people of the
of live stock, since the byproducts
of the factories can be used for stock
food to such a good advantage. Sugar
| beets are adapted to irrigated districts
as we'll as to other districts where
crops are grown by rainfall. The In
dustry in its development has had "a
great influence in promoting irrtga-
tion. immigration, land settlement, the
building of railroads and trolley lines,
the making Of other improvements and
the upbuilding of various industrial en-
| terprises.
States depended almost entirely for It's
sugar supply upon that brought in
from other countries and from that
made from sugar cane In 1905 there
was produced in the United States
| 312,920.60 tons of beet sugar, grown
upon 307,364 acres. Iowa is to have
two factories this year, as 1t has been
shown that Iowa soils will produce as
good sugar beets as any other section
| This new industry should be received
with enthusiasm by the farmers of
Iowa, as 1t should by those in other
states where the beet cav, be probably
grown. The use of the byproducts In
| stock feeding will no doubt inrrec GO

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is

Many years ago, perhaps twenty, | recall two
passengers who were constant patrons of the
smoking groom and members of the council which

a mite of a Scotchman named Peck. Neither

invariably among the first to take their seats at
the table, always managing to have corner seats
next to each other. Not a game passed that these
two did not wrange over it, and more than once
first Paterson and then Peck came to me, saying:
g am going to quit the game unless Paterson Tor
Peck is put out of it." They never spoke to each

deadly enemies.

IN the summer of 1890, on board the Sphynx
was player in daily game, in which one of
my companions was faultlessly dressed, excel
as the Major" The second day out it dawned upon
all that the Major was not playing a straight game.
None of us, nor any of those who volunteered to
watch the play, could detect anything wrong, but
there existed the feeling, l may say the absolute
knowledge, that the Major had something up his
slacve, so to speak. Two of u.s. Mr.. Harris and
myself, were appointed a committee to request
him not to take seat at the table again. We told
him it was his personality that was not liked and
that it would be much easier if he stayed out of
the game himself than for all of to get up if he
seated himself 1t would also attract less unpeas-
ant attention to himself He funed and swore
bit, but said he would do suggested and
he did

were leaving the dock, my wife called my attention
