Aeour BEET GROWING.

Many sections In the state Of Michi-
gan are taking on a new life as re-
suit OF the beet growing industry, In
which they have engaged. A friend
who has taken pains to look into the
details Of the sugar beet industry In
several localities In the state mention
ed makes uniformly favorable report
OF the prosperity which has come In
these beet growing neighborhoods.
One instance is reported of farmer
who paid $500 down on a forty acre
farm eight years ago. Last summer,
when seen, he had paid for the land in
full, had bought and paid for thirty
acres besides, had erected substantial
buildings, had all the machinery he
needed. was out Of debt and worth
$500 more than he was six years
ago, as the first two years he did not
know how to grow beets at profit
When patches Of beets Of five acres OF
less are grown the owner or renter
usually cares for them himself. II
more than this area, foreign families
are usually hired to look after the
crop. the price paid for doing the hard
work being usually about $50 per acre

spring. A bulletin recently issued by
the station covering the experiments
Of the period mentioned states IN con-
clusion that 80 far as has been OBJ
served this aim has not been realized,
egg laying capacity seeming to be al
most entirely an individual rather than
an Inherited matter. The experiments
showed that, instead Of increasing, the
egg capacity Of one flock selected with
especial care from prolific mothers In
fact deteriorated somewhat during the
nine year period. While those in
charge Of the experiments assign no
specific reason for this deterioration
and possibly could not, Is there not a
possibility that chicks batched from
hens which were producing rs high as
20 eggs annually may have lacked
vitality az a result and that this more
than descent from prolific ancestors
may be a determining factor In large
egg capacityf Whatever the cause,
the above findings are more than like

This season more than usual New

be aroused to the necessity Of protect

birds which frequent the state and are
taking such action as they can to &C

create better appreciation Of the eco
nomic Importance Of bird life and are
trying to see that the birds are pro-
tected and given some encouragement
in the providing Of nesting places.

In the grass and leaves, the freezing

It is time now to guard against that
season Of short pasture which is so
likely to come next August. One Of
the best ways to do this is to sow a
good sized patch to some large variety

not wallow the stalks into the dirt. In

II Is a good time now for him who
contemplates building a silo TO look
up the merits and dement's Of the sew
eral types which are In common use
over the country. Perhaps the best
course 10 pursue Is to visit several
nearby farm owners who are having
success with their silos, see just what
kind Of silos they have, how much
they cost TO build, find out what they
cost TO Gil. as well as many other
points which will come up In the
course Of an inquiry. Capacity suited
to size Of herd. initial cost OF construc-
ton, durability and condition of en-
silage when taken out are points that
should be considered. Whether the
type decided on be this or that. the
fact remains that there Is no adjunct

put up prizes aggregating 100000 for
live stock exhibits, while one-half Of
the total ground space at the exposi-
ton will be devoted to agriculture,
horticulture and allied industries ana

Along the lines mentioned and many
others this western exposition gives
promise Of being one of the most val
liable and instructive which have ever
been held.
Now and then one runs across some
discussion OF the question whether
there Is any connection between the
feeding OF silage and tuberculosis.
There Is no necessary connection be-
tween the two things, though IT IL
quite likely that the stable conditions
under which silage II often fed-warm
air and little or no ventilation-are
quite conducive to the spread Of tu-
berculosis once 1t gets q foothold.
Healthy stock In properly ventilated
quarters win not contract tuberculosis
from eating silage any sooner than
they win from eating corn fodder or
clover hay. It's what they take into
their lungs and not what goes into
their stomachs that does the mischief.
The most persistent and ever pres
emit problem with which the tiller Of
the soil has to deal is that OF weeds.
Whether they are the fruit OF Adams
disobedience or ..just grew" 1t makes
little difference so far as the vital as
poets OF the matter go. While the
prime object Of good farming is TO
raise useful crops, It will also be
directed to reducing the weed pest to
a minimum, the number of which
within certain limits on the farm be-
ing fairly indicative OF the type OF ag-
i riculture which Is being carried on.
There are several ways In which this
good work OF weed determination may
be aided. One lies In the more thor
ough preparation Of the soil; another,
the use Of plump and clean seed Of
good vitality which win give a full
stand Of the kind Of crop that II Is In
tended to raise; third, more thorough
cultivation Of the titled crops. Other
aids to the same end, covering period
Of more than one year, are the raising
Of sheep and the adoption Of sensi.
bic system Of crop rotation. In all OF
this II Is well TO keep in mind that II
takes just as much ginger out Of the
soil TO raise rank crop Of weeds as
good crop OF corn, potatoes or oats
and a good deal more than It does &c
grow crops OF clover or alfalfa. When

It's a good thing that Policeman
Theodore Steve, of South Orange. is
away on his vacation, for there is no
telling what would happen to him if
the other cops in South Orange got
hold of him. Steve is a German. The
other eleven cops on the force are
Irishmen. There's the story. Steve
is lin bad with thc Irish after a little
incident hat occurred yesterday.
From time immemorial the desk
blotters in the police. station hare been
green in color. The one in use up
until yesterday became rather diIapi-
dated. and Marshal Thomas +. Ma
guire sent Steve out to purchase two
new blotters. Steve was on his way
out when the marshal called him back
n told him not to forget to get green
ones. Much to Maguire's surprise
Steve returned with blotters of a bril-
liant purple.
Didn't I tell you to get green ones?''
asked Maguirs.

I'd get the purple

too, and l think we ought to have

Mcguire undertook to explain that
the green blotters were used. not as a
display of any national color, but for
the reason that green is the color of
every police department, just the same
