fore and we knew tina with a ready
line and careful watchfulness there
was no great danger. A cold bath,
however, in that temperature. forty
degrees below, could have had some
serious consequences. In two crossings
all our supplies were safely landed on
h north shores, and from there the
lead had a more picturesque effect.
For a time this huge separation in

first sight there seemed to be no good
reason for its existence. Peary had
found a similar break north Of Robe

h we saw was an extension of the
same lead following at a distance the
general trend Of the n"orthernmost land
extension.
This is precisely what one finds on
a smaller scale wherever two ice packs
come together. Here we nave the pack
of the central polar sea meeting the
land ice. The movement of the land
pack is intermittent and usually along
the coast. The shadows. grounded ice
and projecting points interfere with a
steady drift. The movement of the
central pack is quite constant and al
most in every direction.
The tides. the currents and the
winds each give momentum to the
floating mass. This lead is the break

The Worlds Wheat Crop

For every $4,000 pounds of wheat
that goes to the city there will go
back to the farmer one pound OF
gold, says Herbert N. Carson in
Harper's Weekly. For every loaf OF
bread upon a Londoner's table there
will go a cent and a half to the mar be-
hind the reaper. And so the sale OF
every wheat crop means that the
gold will come throbbing out into
the arteries of business, like the blood
from the heart, and on it's way
back and forth nourish the whole
body Of the nation.
More wheat and a more efficient or
ganization of wheat agencies that is
the program of the future. Already
one unsuccessful effort has been
made to hold an international wheat
congress, and the second attempt
may end more happily. Now that the
world has become so small that a
cable dispatch flashes completely
around it in II minutes: now that
there are forty-four nations united by
The Hague CT ~nferences and ifty-eight
by the Postal Union: now that war
has grown to be so expensive that n
cannon shot may cost as much as a
college education and one battle ship
as much as a 6rst-class university, it
Is quite probable that the march OF

Is a congress-, and a central head

SUGAR BEEITS AND BEET SUGAR.

Though sugar can be extracted from
many plants, the worlds supply Of
sugar comes at present from only two
plant species, sugar cane and G
beetS, and it comes about equally from
each. The former Is grown only in
tropical Or subtrOpical climates, the
latter only in temperate climates.
The great bulk of the beet sugar
consumed is made in European coun-
tries, Germany, Russia, Austria-Hun-
gary and France being the leading
producers. Put in recent years the
young and rapidly growing beet-sugar
industry Of the United States has COM
into prominence. There are now
eixty-four active b~eet-sugar factories
in this country located in sixteen Diff
ferent States. Last ear the farmers
Of these States harvested about 365,-
900 acres OF beets and delivered to
the factories 3,415,000 tons Of beets.
From these nearly 100000 tons Of
refined sugar was naac Th :"
heets per acre was 9 Ia tons and
the yield Of sugar pr
was 2,324 pounds
One marked feature Of the progress
Of the beet suga industry
the improved quality Of the beets
grown. The factory processes have
also been improved until the refine!
s"gar produced is about four-fiths OF
hat contained in the beets.
One of the instructive features %
this report is an account Of the use Of
r~y-products. The beet pulp fro j
which tie sugar has been extracted is
q valuable stock food, and vast guam
titles of it are fed in the fresh Stat
to cattle and sheep. It finds especial
favor with dairymen. A dozen or
more actories have installed plante
eo~ ding pulp. With this is mixed
molasses, the product being put on tn,
roarket as dried molasses beet pulp"
The moIasses is also extensively used

Farm News the World Over.

Western grain men say that never
since the milling industry attained Its
present proportions has there been
such a complete cleaning UP OF wheat
as has occurred this year IN the winter
wheat states. The high prices forced
by the Patten corner reduced the gen.
eral selling.
E.. B.. Hale, a st. Louis county ne
gro, declares that after ten years OF
effort he has perfected a plan to
colonize 200, 900 negroes in southwest
ern Missouri. It is Hale's plan to
build homes for the negroes on $4,000
600 acres of land in Carter and Butlel
counties, on which he says his COM
Dany has an option. This land will be
divided into building lots and these
will be sold to negroes for SIS down
and SIS per month. One Of the first
improvements to be made on the land.
Hale says, will be the erection of "a
brick plant, where material for the
negroes homes ma be obtained. A
Chicago trust company, Hale says has
agreed to sell 100000 worth OF
bonds to finance the scheme.
Concrete is now used to make all
kinds Of garden accessories. IT Is
practically indestructible and the color

POTATOES AS STOCK FOOD.
When Properly Fed They Are Nutr;ti-
Gus and Very Fattening fer Both
Cattle and Hogs.
BY w. r. GILBERT.

Potatoes owe their foo value pr1n-
cipally to their high proportion of car
b~ohydrates, which are found IN pota-
toes in the form Of starch.
They contain nearly three times the
quantity of carbohydrates found IN an
equal weight of turnips.
Potatoes vary a good deal IN COM
position, not only as regards different
varieties, but as regards the same Va
riety grown on different SOILS.
Potatoes grown on strong SOIL con

toes.
Potatoes are more suitable for feed
ing pigs than for any other KIND OF
stock.
~hoir high proportion OF starch
makes it necessary to mix them with
food of a more a1buminoid and fbrous
character when given to cattle anu

Unless they are mixed with such
food they are liable to produce cholic;

When the potatoes are Withdrawn

When potatoes are diseased 1t is the
