Beet Sugar Output Increases.

Last years American beet sugar pro-
duction reached 1,025,000,00O pounds
The cane sugar production for the same
year was 750,000,000 pounds. The beet
sugar crop of 1898 was but 10000, O0O
The cane sugar crop of that year, which
was short in Louisiana, owing to an alb
normally wet autumn and winter, was
7OS,000,000 pounds. Normally it should
have been about 750,000,00O pounds.
Thus here, within twelve years, we see
the beet sugar production of our west
ern states increasing from 10000 900
pounds to 1,025,000,000 pounds, or very
nearly twelve-fold, while during the
same twelve years the cane sugar pro-
duction of our Gulf states has remained
practically stationary, says Louisiana
Planter.
In all that time the two respective
crops have been subject to precisely the
same political or governmental condi-
tions. Industrially the cost of cult
waiting, harvesting and manufacturing
an acre of beets is considered to be
greater than that of the same process
applied to an acre of cane The cane
yields greater number of tons to the
acre, which increase is probably about
offset by the comparatively greater SUI
gar content of the ripened beet; their
available sugar content being from 10
to IL per cent, against to per cent
in that of cane. But the beet sugar
manufacturers, from a material more
difficult and costly to work than cane,
produce sugar of quality ready to
enter into direct consumption and have
taken more active means to render their
products marketable. But probably the
chief cause of the splendid growth of
the beet sugar industry, which within
a score of years passed the centur, old
cane sugar industry, lay in the quality
and the quality of the labor devoted
to it.

COWPEAs.

The cowpea is the most generally grown
and most valuable hay and forage plant
in the south. 1t can be grown anywhere,
and covers longer season of growth
than any other. 1t furnishes larger guam
titles of nutritious feed stuff and, besides,
builds up the soil rapidly by furnishing
nitrogen and humus.
The soil should be well prepared, e.
for any other farm crop Poor preparation
is the cause of most of the apparent fail
ures with this crop.
For very early use the Whippoorwill or
the New Era variety can be sown early
in April in rows so inches apart with a
corn planter, one-half bushel of seed PEI
acre. Cultivate well, and where land is
not fertile use 200 pounds of acid phus-
phate and SO pounds of cotton-seed meal
per acre to give vigorous growth. Planted
in this way cowpeas will give a heavy
crop of grain and vines for hay in early
summer.
For later crops, and where a We;
heavy yield is desired, the Clay, Unkno--n OF
some other well-known variety may IL useC
Hay made from pea vines plan>ed in thi
way supplies ordinary woTS stock witt

LAURENCE JONES DOING FINE
WORK.
Laurence c. Jones, one of the brightes
colored men that ever left S. q. rs classic
walls, is continuing his great work fol
his people and the country, at large, il
the Piney Woods Normal and Industrial
Institute, near Braxton, Miss.
Many fine things have been accom-
plished by him, since he began his won
derful work of making the desert blossom
with roses--intellectually and industrially
speaking-and he constantly devises new
methods of helping his worthy cause.
His latest venture is the formation
of the Rural School Improvement assooia-
ton, whose object is to teach colored boys
and girls and men and women to awaken
from their dormant condition; to labor
and learn; to till the soil; make gardens
and run farms, to read the newspapers
TO whitewash, and repair old houses; and
to build new ones; in other words-to
"gst busy, not complaint" and thus be
neht the state

THE HAY CROP HERE.

The permanent meadow, where it can
be secured, is one of the most economical
sources of food for animals known. In
the extreme south, where the soil is adapted
to them, alfalfa, japan clover, and Ber-
muda grass rank high. Farther north
there are standard grasses which produce
we'll. But if farmer does not have a
permanent meadow of any kind he can
easily supply a substitute from the follow
ing assortment of forage crops. He can
select only one or two of these crops for
his needs, but where it is possible it is best
to grow patches of all of them, as it will
give variety, and the ration can be more
easily balanced

CoWPEAs AND SORGHUM.

When preferred and when it is not
specially desirable to have very early hay,
sorghum and cowpeas may be sown togeth-
er broadcast, one-half bushel of sorghum
70 enc and one-half bushels of cowpeas
per acre. Amber sorghum and some early
variety Of cowpeas will mature quickly
but Tor heavy yields Orange sorghum and
running variety of cowpeas should be
used.
The land should be we'll broken and
thoroughly prepared before sowing the
seed. This point must be observed in al
cases.

VELVET BEANS.

In the Gulf States, and on poor soils
especially, the velvet bean will be found
profitable crop. 1t makes very lux
uriant growth, requires little cultivation,
and when planted early will mature large
quantities of seed, sufficient to be pastured
off by cows and hogs. The vine is too
rank and coarse for hay, but adds more
fertility to the soil than any of the legurnes
on account of its growth and its root sys-
tenn.
The seed is cheaper than soy bears or
cowpeas, as I bushel will be sufficient
to plant four or FIVE acres. For building
up very poor soils it ranks first among
legumes both as to cost and efficiency.

PEANUTS.

The value of peanuts as hay and food
crop has never been appreciated. The pea
nut will grow on the large portion of the
uplands OF the south. AS crop for varied
uses nothing excels it. 1t can be made
profitable wheT nuts are grown for market,
and it has been found to produce more
and cheaper pork than any other crop.
When used as hay for horses or cattle
the vines ard nuts are pulled up and cured
together. In this shape they are relished
by all kinds eff stock, and as they are highly
nutritious they can be utilized in place of
more expensive grains to large extent.
Peanuts should not be planted until
warm spring weather. Plant on a we'll
prepared soil, in rows three feet apart
and twelve inches apart in drill for the
Spanish variety and greater distance
for larger varieties. The Spanish is pre-
ferred for feeding purposes.
The peanuts, like the othsr-plaHts men
oned, as soil improver, and every farmer
should look with more favor on its place
among the crop farms.
ALL CORN AND HAY SHOULD BE
GROWN ON THE FARM.
With the splendid records of corn pro-
duced per acre in the southern states, and
with our advantages in climate and so
many valuable forage crops to supplement
grains for feeding to stock, it is dscredit
for any farmer to buy corn or hay except
in rare cases of misfortune.

SOY BEANS.

In some localities the soy bean has proved
most desirable hay and forage plant.
The beans are very rich in protein and the
stalk is equal to pea hay or alfalfa when
properly cured. While not adapted to all
classes of soils, as is the cowpea, soy bans
should be given trial ON every farm.
Sow III rows feet apart, one-half bushel
of good seed per acre, cultivate we'll, and
cut when the plants first begin to ripen or
turn yellow. When intended for seed pur-
poses the crop should be allowd to ripen
little longer than for hay.
The soy bean has been found valuable
for hogs, where they are allowed to gather
the crop from the field.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Nowadays draft horses must be
matched to sell well.
1t is a mistake not TO grow the pigs
rapidly from birth to market.
II a pig has languid appetite there
is something wrong somewhere.
A variety Of feed is advisable but
radical changes are to be avoided
1t is a mistake to feed pigs sour
milk when they are learning to eat.
Choose for the breeding mare a
solid color,--dark bay, black or chest
nut.
In countries where colts run out the
year around, the mature horses have
much stronger legs.
The sheep barn must be dry and
we'll ventilated. Foul odors and too
much heat bring on pneumonia.
In selecting the brood sows avoid
those with low weak backs for they
usually Indicate weakness Of consti-
| tuition.
The fact that hog will eat almost
anything and turn 1t into meat does
not imply that anything will do for
the hog.
All straw, stalks, etc, used for lit
ter in the sheep barn should be run
through a cutter to increase the power
Of absorption.
A Juicy wether hung up in a cold,
dry place will provide choice dinners
for the family until It is used up.
Don't forget to have mashed turnips
and butter with It.
One must give some thought to the
feeding methods of the farm these
days. The stock should have excel.

Suggestion and Practical Thought.
These two Golden Texts" express
the truth and suggest the methods Of
one of the best and most interesting
Of Easter lessons.
For they teach us the most impor-
tant truths we need to know for our
life here and for our life forevermore:
That the Jesus who once lived in
Palestine and did the works we have
been studying,
Showing the love of God for man.,
Teaching the eternal truths Of
heaven,
Expire sing in visible forms the low
ing kindness of our Heavenly Father,
Setting us a perfect example,
And giving his life that we should
not perish but have eternal life,
This same Jesus is really living to-
day as he was then on earth.
He is with us now as when he dwelt
in Galilee,
Is now inspiring the same life,
Teaching the same truths,
Doing the same works.
Is our present King. Saviour, Helper,
Guide and Friend
To realize these things will make
blessed Easter dav The teacher can
take up the lessons one by one with
his scholars and show that the Risen
Saviour is our present Saviour.

The review of Lessons w. to TX. will
bring these truths to mind.
We have been studying his good
deeds to the bodies and souls of men.
Jesus the living Saviour, is continually
here and now fulfilling his promise,
"He that believeth on me, the works
that do shall he do also and greater
works than these shall he do; because

are very apt TO condemn the breed

have, or the breeding which they
have purchased for the Improvement
of their flock, when the fault is really
their own.

BEGIN THE YEAR WITH CHRIST
No Period Can Be Happy or Beautiful
Where the Lord Is Left
Out.

One reason why life Is so serious
is because we must give account of
It all Jesus hinted at the large mean.
ing Of this truth when he said that
for every idle word that men speak
they must give account. II for the
idle words-light, trivial, empty words
how much more for the words which
are filled with bitterness, or with
malice, or with the evil of falsehood
of envy, OF irreverence! We are not
done with life as we live It.; we shall
meet 1t all again.
These things being true, how should
we enter upon the new year? For
one thing, we should begin II with
Christ. Who is sufficient for the seri-
Gus problems OF living without the di-
vine grace and help? There is no 9th
er hand that can guide us safely
through the new and strange expert
ences.
Another suggestion for prosperous
new year is that we should fill It's
every hour with duty well done. Duty
Is a large word II includes all that
we owe to God-honor love, obedi-
ence, faithfulness, 1t includes all that
we owe to men. No year can be hap
py OF beautiful with God left out.
The only way to have a year at its
close stainless and beautiful, Is to
keep the days, as they pass, all pure
and lovely with the loveliness of holy
useful living, It is in little days that
our years come to us. and we have
but the one small fragment to fill and
beautify at a time, God never gives
us years, or even weeks. He gives III
only days II we live each day well
all our life WILL In the end, be radiant
and beautiful. Rev. J. r. Miller, d. d

PROVIDING SHELTER FOR HOGS
Illustration Shows Form Of Straw
Pile for Swine That ls Proving
Satisfactory for Many.

In some respects, there is no better
way of sheltering hogs In real cold
weather than to give them the run Of
the straw pile. OF course, this plan
is open to very serious objections If
suitable accommodations are not pro
vided. To merely turn a large drove
Of hogs against an average sized
straw pile without making proper pro
visions for their comfort is to make
"piling easy and death by suffoca-
ton or injury probable. Without the
expenditure of much money or labor
good shelters may be made in straw

OIeo as a Calf Food.

New hope appears for the oleo-
makers in recent tests at an expert
ment farm in Italy. 1t was found that
the best feeding material for calves
was a mixture of skim milk with oleo
margarine. The calves are not likely
to object to this substitute for the
natural food, and 1t would seem that
the oleo OIL If It could be bought at a
price low enough, would be just the
thing to even up the composition OF
skim milk. 1t is claimed that q
good quality of veal can be made on
this ration at low cost.
