BEET SUGAR FACTORIES.


From Albuquerque Journal.
New Mexico is waking up to the
fact of the Importance of the sugar
beet industry. She has the soil and
all the physical conditions necessary
for growing the finest sugar beef in
the world. What she wants is the
factories, n they will soo1 be on
hand, for the New Mexico journals are
great advertisers, and will soon at
tract all the capital necessary to ex-
tract the sugar for the folks over
there, if they will produce the beets.
Tucson Star.
Making sugar from beets is now
one of Colorado's most profitable il
dustries, and there is no reason why
it should not be proven even more
profitable here. There is no place
in the world, so far known, where the
soil will produce sugar beets in great
err abundance than in New Mexico,
while almost perpetual sunshine dur
ing the growing season makes the
beets unusually rich in saccnarine
matter And this is not a random
statement, but is based upon analy-
sis made by the agricultural depart
ment at Washington. Some years
ago the Commercial club brought his
matter to the attention of the depart
ment, and forwarded a number of sam
pies to be analysed. The facts devel-
oped by these tests showed the New
Mexico beets to be entitled to rank
with the very best grown in any part
of the country, while in n particular
they are found to be superior to any
others and that is this; In nearly
all places where sugar beets are rails
ed, if they are permitted to grow to
large size the proportion of sacchar-
inc matter to the pound of gross pro-

materially impair the value of the
beets for sugar making, but it was
demonstrated by the tests referred
to that the New Mexico samples re
tanned their full proportion of sac
charine qualities to a size more h a
forty per cent greater than any other
that had e sampled by the depart
ment. Ordinarily, a beet weighing
not to exceed two pounds is found
to contain the best proportion of SUI
gar-making qualities, but the samples
tested showed that the New Mexico
beets held their maximum proportion
of saccharine up to almost three
pounds,-and that difference would be
sufficient to add a good deal to the
market value of the beet, and the
profits of the factory.
This superiority of the New Mexico
product is accounted for in two ways
first, by the presence in the soil,
nearly all over the territory, of the
element we call 'a1kali," and second,
and chiefly by the fact which is now
well known to the world, that the sun
shines, unobstructed by clouds, a
greater per cent of the time turnout
the season, in New Mexico, than any
where else on the American continent

the object of which, doubtless, was to
protect the repose of the dead in their
graves, and the contents which are
found in them consist Of unburnt hui

round stones), together with imple-

The sketch represents a chamber
which was discovered In barrow, sit

the Vale, In the island of Guernsey.
On digging into the mound, large fat
stone was soon discovered: this formed
the top, or cap-stone, Of the tomb, and
on removing II, the upper part of two
human skulls were exposed to view.
One was facing the north, the other
the south, but both disposed In a line
from esst to west. The chamber was
filed up with earth mixed with limpet-

Rapid FruitinE Cotton.

The Investigations of the Texas Sta
Sion have shown that early cottons have
short joints, with the first fruit limbs
nea- the ground. and that late cottons
have long joints, with the first fruit
limbs a considerable distance above the
ground For early fruiting In the plants
selected the first fruit limbs should
not be higher than the fifth joint above
the seed half joint, and the first pri-
mary or wood limbs not above the fifth
joint and not exceeding four in num-
Der. For rapid frulting the joints on
the main stem, fruit limbs and pri-
mary limbs must be short. preferably
not over two or three inches. The fruit
limbs should grow in succession at
each joint of the main stem and pri-
mary limbs and be continuous in
growth for continuous fruiting, and for
productiveness the hollis should be at
least one and one-half inches In diam
eter, the percentage of lint TO seed cot
ton not less than IS Is, and the growth
rapid and vigorous. The rate os growth
is considered very important, and 1t is
pointed out that the larger the plant of
the type the greater its inherent rate of

before the seeds can make growth, and
keep the cultivator and harrow moving
over It the whole year. The next spring
put it in corn, and still keep up the
cultivation. When the corn is off,
pillow it in the fall, and SOW to oats
the following year. Such treatment
will effectually kill out the weeds and
save labor afterward All the seeds
used for crops should be thoroughly
examined and cleaned, even if, in some
cases, certain kinds must be hand
picked. The manure should be rotted
In order to destroy the weeds, but this
cannot be done under all circum-
stances. by udnullng the manure once
and sprinkling every portion with
mixture of one pound of sulphuric acid
to five gallons of water, the manure
will be reduced to finer condition and
many weed seeds destroyed If the
manure is spread on the soil early in
the season and worked in with cul-
tivator near the surface, the seeds re-
naming will be induced to sprout, and
the young plants destroyed with but
little labor. The rule for the destruc-
ton, therefore, is "sprout the seed in
the ground and kill the young plants
just as they appear out of the SOIL"
By so doing they can never make suffi-
clent headway to multiply, and If pre-
vented from reproducing themselves
must necessarily disappear If the farm
er does not introduce new seeds to
cause him additional labor. Once pre-
vent weeds from seeding and the ma
nure will be free from the seeds

PEARL HUNTING IN CANADA.
Indians and Whites Engaged An
Digging MusseI Shells.

Indians and Whites Engaged An
Digging MusseI Shells.
Seated on the bank of a rive in
northern Canada an adventurous trav-
eler picked up a mussel-shell, pried 1t
open with his knife and 10, before his
eyes lay a large, beautiful pearl. 1t
brought him good price when he
reached civilization. But more import
ant still, it opened up prosperous new
industry.
Jewelry houses In large American
cities are sending representatives reg
ularly now to the Ungava region of
Canada. Indians. Eskimos and some
white people there spend day in and
day out digging mussel shells, some of
which-although not many
pearls of rare value.
The usual procedure Is to pile the
shells up on the bank, then leave them
to decompose, when the pearls may be
removed with little labor. Hudson Bay
Company traders get fair share of
the profits.
Recently two pink pearls, beautifully
matched, We're discovered In the same
shell. They weighed fourteen grains
apiece and were sold for $40 to New
York dealer As much as 81 900 has
been paid for a single pearl found
there, but as a general thing the pearls
are of little value.
Unlike the pearls of Ceylon, these are
snowy white An obstacle Is that
large percentage OF them are irregular
In shape.
Pearl fishing has become romantic
occupation in Canada-romantlc in that
any time one may happen upon pearl
that will yield a fortune.
What Is believed by the owner to be
one of the most valuable pearls In ex-
istence-It Is held by him to be worth
,OOO-was found not long ago by
William Bates while digging for clans
near Red Wing, MINI. A few years
ago pearl OF smaller size sold for
$4,000 Philadelphia North American.

value of a Ton Of Manure.

A load of fresh manure, one ton, con-
tains ten pounds of nitrogen, two
pounds of phosphorus and ten pounds
Of potassium, besides other elements
of plant food not so important in point
Of provision. Ii figured at commercial
prices, the nitrogen at 10 cents a
pound, the phosphorus at II cents and
the potassium at cents, ton of such
manure would be worth S2.34.
But bare figures are not interesting,
unless their relations to other things
which do interest us are shown Corn
fodder, for instance, has 10 pounds Of
nitrogen, two pounds of phosphorus
and II pounds of potassium. 1t Is
worth. merely as manure, when figured
as above stated, $3.65.
A ton of oat straw is on the same
basis worth 1925. Wheat stray is
worth S275; clover hay, $8.40; alfalfa
hay, $40; cowpea hay, SO; timothy
hay, $5.35. Thus a ton of manure
would be less valuable than ton Of
any of our ordinary field crops, If the
latter were used as fertilizer only, and
also supposing them to be Immediately
available as plant food.
The fact that they require longer
or shorter period for decay, while
manure is quickly available, accounts
for the more apparent value of the
manure. 1t is interesting to note that
a ton of manure contains sufficient nj
troeen for 10 bushels of corn; enough
potassium for 52.6 bushels. For wheat
there is enough nitrogen for 8 bushels;
phosphorus for 1873 bushels, and potas-
SUM for 36.3 bushels.
Manure has the effect of making the
soil loosen and more easily tillable. 1t
gives better color and enables the soil
TO drain better and retain moisture bet
ter 1t also sets free other foods from
the soil. Commercial fertilizers require
that other things, such as straw or
green manures, be added, to prevent
the land from becoming killed" as the
condition is often termed.
