In Need Of Farmers,

tire beet crop for 1908 averaged 15X
per cent of sugar In the beets. The
factory processes have also been Inn
proved until the refined sugar pro-
duced is about four-fifths Of that con-
tanned in the beets.
One of the instructive features of
this report is an account OF the use OF
by-products. The beet pulp from which
the sugar has been extracted is a val
liable stock food, and vast quantities
Of 1t are fed in the fresh state to cat
tie and sheep. 1t finds especial favor
with dairymen. dozen or more fac
tories have installed plants for dry
ing pulp, With this is mixed mo-
lasses. the product being put on the
market as MISUNDERSTANDING"
The molasses is also extensively used
in the manufacture OF alcohol.
The prospects for further develop
ment Of the industry are reported to be
good. Plans are on foot for the build
ing of several new factories.
Telling Age Of Poultry.
English authorities hold that there
is no certain test of age for poultry,
but they admit and indorse the ex-
perience Of the writer that in general
the spurs both Of hens and cocks will
distinguish 2-year-old bird, but there
are exceptions in which really young
birds develop old-looking spurs. while
really second-year birds preserve the
short. rounded spurs of cockerel.
The texture of the legs is a guide
to some extent. and 80 Is the delicacy
and freshness OF the skin Of the face
and comb, but still an occasional hen
will preserve her youthful appearance
to startling degree.
The skin of the body Is q better
test, becoming coarser and drier look
ing with age.
Formerly the wing feathers were
considered an absolute test as between
a pullet and hen. even after the
long practice of early breeding had
made the Noting Of early pullets
quite common.
To q certain extent the absence Of
pullet quilts Is regarded as evidence
of greater age. but for some time
these feathers also have been becom-
ing more and more uncertain as to
the actual fact. unnaturally early
Matching having upset all the old
rules.
Il is more dincult to Judge the age
OF water fowls than Of other poultry,
partly from the absence of spurs, part
ly from greater longevity, and partly
because the water keeps their legs
soft and fresh.
Ducks waddle more heavily as they
grow. older. and after two or three
years acquire depression down tho
breast.
An abdominal pouch Of great size
indicates great age In geese.
Turkeys up to a year. old are said
to have black feet, which grow pink
up to 8 years of age. when they grad.
ually turn gray and dull.
Age In pigeons is often told by the
color of the breast In squads the
flesh looks whitish as seen through the
skin. but becomes more and more pur-
plish as the bird grows older.-M. K.

Though sugar can be extracted from
many plants. the worlds supply OF
sugar comes at present from only two
plant species. sugar cane and sugar
beets. and 1t comes about equally from
each. The former is grown only In
tropical or sub-tropical climates, the
latter only in temperate climates

producers. But in recent years the
Industry of the United States has come
into prominence There are now 81
active beet sugar factories in this
country located in 16 different states.
Last year the farmers Of these states
harvested about 365.0O0 acres Of beets,
and delivered to the factories 3.415, 700
tons of beets. From these nearly 426,-
900 tons of refined sugar was made.
The yield of beets per acre was Oh

Neglect Of Drainage.

- ~~.s>sSe
It is necessary to closely study the
physical conditions OF soils, that we
may have healthy and furnishing con-
dition Of plants. Through want of
proper drainage or other neglect, land
is often allowed to get into an UNI
healthy state, which sooner or later
Is reflected in the character Of the
heritage growing upon the soil.
The chief danger is probably poor
drainage, with consequent excess of
water and lack of SUFFICIENT oxygen In
the soil. Such condition is weaken
Ing and often results in the death of
the roots Of the plants growing in
such soils. Especially is this so to
crops growing In heavy clay soils, and
where there is an impervious subsoil.
In such cases many Of the feeding
roots Of plants are killed by suffoca-
tion during protracted wet seasons.
Very often roots that may Just be
forming are killed in few days,
should the soil become saturated with
water. Not only Is there loss OF
these feeding roots. but the vitality
Of the entire plant becomes weak
ened.
Plants growing where the surface is
csked and packed often suffer from
want of oxygen for the roots. This is
especially applicable to trees. In such
cases the annual growth is not only
retarded. but the plants lose vitality
and become prey of insects and fungus
pests.
The remedy for such a condition is
deep and careful cultivation, and the
provision Of some organic fertilizer.
This will provide plant food for new
growth Of the roots and also tighten
the physical nature Of the soil. Lime
is also recommended for this latter
purpose in the case of heavy clay soils.
The roots OF all plants must have a
supply of oxygen, Deprived of this
oxygen. they die Of suffocation. The
plant will be poisoned by Its own de-
composition products. and will starve
or become the prey Of parasitic enc

 To the shoe knowledge we had then has been added general business knowledge which could not fail to make this better shoe store. We have learned as we have grown In fact we should not have grown if we had not learned.
 The shoes sold here to-day are bought just as carefully and with just much knowledge as they were B years ago And they are the sorts of shoes that we not only can but do stand back of.
 Practically every shoe in this store is built for the store We give the maker specifications and see that he lives up to them And do not hesitate to pay little more than the usual price to the manufacturer in order to be sure of getting bettehan-usual shoe We do that right along and are rewarded for it by what we count the best shoe business in this section.
