WILL BEGIN
Beet DIGGING
Several Hundred Samples
Taken From Different
Fields.

The sugar company has taken
several hundred samples Of beets
from different fields, and after
testing them finds that they are
ready to work up. Notices have
been sent to farmers who have
early beets notifying them to
commence digging AT ONCE.
Those who start then will soon
be through with their children
and can send them to school
earlier. 1t will also be easier to
get help when only a part Of the
farmers are digging than when
all are notified. Some may say
they will lose in tonnage by start
ing early; but they will have the
advantage of long days and bet
ter weather and may only dig one
or two acres out of five, ten or
twenty. By that time hundreds
wish to start; but if those who
were notified are digging, the
company does not stop them to
,et others dig. When the farmer
considers the benefit to his land
by digging early, having his
children in good weather to help
him, getting their money early n
the fall, having no mud or snow
to work in, escaping cold hands
and feet, having their fall plow-
ing done, etc., it more than makes
up for the shrinkage. Last spring
the company gave the farmers
until March 18th to make their
contracts, and up to that date
made contracts with every farmer
who applied. At that date the
company had as many acres as
could be worked, but many Of
their old customers neglected tc
take contracts at that time and
as they had raised beets for sew
eral years the company desire,
to contract with them and do the
best they could with the beets.
This gave us many hundred acres
more than the company had de-
cided to take, hence the necessity
OF starting early in order 10
avoid the great loss which the
factory has sustained in other
years through receiving frozen
beets and having them rot on
their hands.
This year the company will
start its run Sept. 14th. Sup
pose some farmer should say:
IF l am notified I will not dig"
If he refuses to comply with the
terms Of the contract could lie
compel the company to take his
beets if they were overstocsed ?
Two years ago we had wet fall,
and many sugar beets spoiled,
but the company took all the
farmers beets and paid $3.50 per
ton for them. Now if the CON-
pany lives up to its agreement,
why should not the farmer fill
hist
The following clause is in Inc
beet contract which every grow
or signed: "And the said grow
,r further agrees to dig and de-
liver the beets growing on such
and at such time and in such
quantities as the said field super
ntendent or his assistant shall |
lirect." Now let every farmer
who gets a notice dig at once ana
start the factory early. II
through sickness or other un-
ivoidable cause a farmer could |
lot dig, he should confer with |
he sugar company and make
lifferent arrangements. Some Of
he weather prophets are predict
ng an early and severe winter.
We have already had several
!eavy frosts at night, and the
covered with snow.
Il those who get notice dig at
,nce they are safe, let the wealth.
n be as it may.

Mother Borton walked the passage
cautiously and in silence, and | fol-
lowed her example until she pushed
open door and was swallowed up in
the blackness. Then | paused on the
threshold while she lighted candle;
and as | entered. she swiftly closed
and locked the door behind me.
"Sit down." she said in a harsh
voice. motioning me to a chair by the
stand that held the candle. Then this
strange creature seated herself in
front of me, and looked steadily and
sternly in my face for a full minute.
What have you done that l should
help you?" she broke forth in a harsh
voice, her eyes still fixed on my face.

litely. You have done me one or two

chuckle. "Oh, my lud. how very green

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When
Baby.

If parents realized the fact that cot.
fee contains -caffeine-which
is especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before CIV
ing the babies coffee to drink.
when l was a child in my mothers
arms and first began to nibble things
at the table, mother used to give me
sips Of coffee. AS my parents used
coffee exclusively at meals l never
knew there was anything to drink but
coffee and water.
And so l contracted the coffee habit
early. l remember when quite young,
the continual use of coffee so affected
my parents that they tried roasting
wheat and barley, then ground it in the
coffee-mill, as substitute for coffee.
But 1T did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was
long before Postum was ever heard OF.
continued to use coffee until was q,

gan to have nervous spells. Especially
after breakfast l was so nervous |

AT night, after having coffee for
supper, l could hardly sleep, and on
rising in the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
"A friend persuaded me to try Post.

II CHICKENS AND LIVESTOCK
COULD TALK.
What Farmer Thinks Would Happen
II They Were Endowed
with Speech.

"Most of the faults we find with
poultry keeping and stock raising
would disappear II our chickens,
horses, cows. hogs, sheep and other
animals could talk" remarked farm
err to his wife after reading about
wonderfully clever talking parrot.
Suppose, for instance" continued
the farmer, that when our hens
stopped laying, at a time when we
think they ought to lay, that went to
Mrs. Hen and said: What's the matter
with you, why have you stopped lay
ing? Why, she could confide in. me
and I would at once know what to do
for her. Same way with our horses,
cows, hogs and sheep. If they could
tell us what allied them, we could do
whole lot more for them than we do
now"
Does the suggestion sound funny?
Perhaps so-but it only goes to show
the necessity of knowing what really
ails our poultry and live stock when
they refuse to eat or to do their work.
The fine books published by the
Pratt Food Co. should have been
called 1.-THE Voice Of the Horse" "The
Voice of Poultry" "The Voice of the
Hog" 1.-THE Voice of Cattle" "The
Voice of Sheep"
The reason is that II Poultry and
Livestock could talk, they would say
exactly what is said in these splendid
books published by the Pratt Food
Company.
These books are really the voice OF
the creatures discussed, and heart
to heart talk with a speechlgifted fowl
or animal would not produce more VAL
liable information than is found in
the five books in question.
Send postal to the Pratt Food Co.,
Dept r, Philadelphia, Pa. and ask for
Pratts New Poultry Book, Pratts New
Horse Book, Pratts New Cattle Book
and Pratts New Sheep Book. Any one
of these 25 cent books will be sent free
to our readers.
