'RllIboards as Nuisances.

California reports an inspiring adj
vance in the campaign against often
sive posters, billboards and advertis-
ing boardings in the judicial decision
that such objects are nuisances, sub
ject to abatement by the police au-
thorities under the common law, says
the New York Tribune. 1t was ar
gued that anything needlessly offensive
to the senses was a nuisance. A soap
factory or a pigsty would not be toll
Grated in close proximity to residences
because of the vile odors which would
outrage the sense Of smell. A stone
crusher or a boiler factory would be
similarly forbidden because Of the out
rage upon the sense of hearing. But
the eyes are as precious as the nose
or ears, and the sense of sight, the
most useful and valuable of all the
senses, is as much entitled to pro-
lection against outrage as any other.
So it was contended, and it was de-
cided by the judge that posters or
billboards which grossly offended the
eye were for that reason nuisances
and might be suppressed as such.

ROOT SYSTEM OF SUGAR BEET.

depth. The effect of ,subsoiling on the
root growth and development of sugar
beets as studied by this station result
ed in a considerably better develop
ment of feeding roots and a more SYM
metrical development of the main root
on the subsoiled plats. The Kansas
station also found that the root sys-
tenn Of the sugar beet lies comparative
~ deep and that the crop therefore
admits Of deep cultivation.
AS to improvement Of the sugar beet,
G.. q. Saylor states the following:
From a plant yielding from 6 to z
per cent of its weight in sugar the
sugar beet has been improved so that
1t will yield from 10 to 20 per cent,
some Individual beets going as high
as % per cent There is a marked
tendency throughout the beet growing
districts of the United States year by
year to increase the general average of
sugar content.
Of the work of the bureau of plant
industry 3. T. Galloway, chief, says:
Except in a general way in no part
of the sugar beet area is it definitely
known what cultural methods will
give the best results under different
conditions of soil and climate. During
the season of 1905 experiments were
commenced along this line, but it will
be necessary to continue this work for
several seasons before definite cOnclu-
sions can be reached.
The breeding of pedigree strains of
seed from individually analysed and
recorded roots has been put on firm
basis in each of the five localities-New
York, Utah, Washington and two
points in Michigan.
Twenty acres Of seed beets, all OF
which analysed % per cent or more of
sugar, were grown on the farm Of 3.
II. Morrison at Fairfield, Wash. The
seed secured from these beets amount
ed to about $1,000 pounds.

Lincoln replied that that seemed

delaying the execution. Early the next
morning he sent another message by a
different line to another individual in
Elmira, and before the hour set for the
execution had arrived the president
had sent four kilograms to as many
persons by as many different lines in
his anxiety that the reprieve should
reach Elmira on time.
One day a visitor who had influence
with the president entered the White
House vestibule and saw poorly clad
young woman who told him that she
had been trying for two days to see
Mr.. Lincoln. but had been ordered
away by the attendants. Her only
brother, she said, had deserted through
bad influences and was sentenced to be
shot. The girl was weeping. Mr.. Lin
coin had just stepped out of his Office
to eat luncheon. The visitor told the
girl to follow hIm in, await the presi-
dents return and then go after him.
Lincoln was little surprised to find
the girl in his Office, but he heard her
fearful story, looked at her poor cloth
ing and said:
"Poor girl! You have come here with
no governor, senator or member of con-
gress to plead your cause. You seem
honest and truthful, and" with en-
phasis, ''you don't wear hoops, and I'll

Root Crops For Stock.

Root crops are a valuable feed for
stock, especially during the winter,
when they supplement the rations Of
grain and other dry feed stuffs. They
thrive best in regions having moist
and cool weather, but nevertheless
enough heat and sunshine to promote
rapid growth during the growing sea-
son. In many sections of the northern
states root crops may be grown with
profit, but the fact that their culture is
not so generally understood as it should
be is probably the reason that they
are not grown so extensively in the
United States as in Canada and parts
of Europe
