There Is small village in the de-
partment of the Sarthe, in France,
that has arisen from poverty to az
fuence by means of prayer furnished
on demand for consideration. The
cure Of the village. certain Able
Buguet, was as poor as his flock. But
he was not content to stay that way
and. being man Of imagination, he
looked around for some means by
which he could better the condition
nf his people and incidentally his own.
lie finally hit upon an idea. says a Lon
don exchange. He learned to set type.
bought a secondhand hand press and
set up. printed and published leailet
in which he discoursed upon the eff
cacy OF prayer. Then he made bust
ness proposition to his flock lie would
pray for them. for their children and
for their dead for an annual subscrip-
ton OF one sou. In other words, he
would take charge of all their prayers
for one sou year. The idea appealed
to his parishionerS and all of them
subscribed. With the little sums thus
acquired he printed more leaflets and
distributed them throughout the
neighboring country and every leaflet
seemed to bring in new subscriber.
To-day he has many thousands OF
subscribers who live in all parts OF the
world, and Montligeon, which was once
little more than a collection Of novels,
is a prosperous town. 1t has church
that is a cathedral. 1t has wide streets
lighted by electric lights, post Of

in the center of the town is a large
white building where Able Buguet,
with eight almoners, Is interpreters.
20 secretaries and crowd Of clerks,
proceeds with his work of supplying
prayers. More than 1900 letters come
each day. each of them containing at
least the required sou. and most OF
them having much larger sum. A
part of these letters ask for prayers
and these are divided among various
needy priests in the neighborhood.
who thus are able to add considerable
to their meager incomes. All the vol
untary offerings go into the general
treasury and are used for the benefit
of the town and the valley in which
it is situated. The mayor Of the town
is the cashier and the principal coun-
cilors are the secretaries or chief ac-
countants and Able Buguet is man
ager of all. 1t is the most profitable
prayer factory in the world.

SUGAR INDUSTRY
OF COLORADO
FOR 1909
Field and Farm


The sixteen sugar factories in Colorado
I lis year turned out more sugar by seve-
raj thousand tons than any other state in
the union so that we are still maintaining
our position it the lead. The total area
was increased by 5000 acres but there
was perceptible diminution of TONNAGE
from the average acre in almost every dis
trict where beets are grown. This is evil
IDENTIFY due to the Gradual deterio7stion of
soil fertility which Is koins on almost i'm
perceptbly but none the less surely on
those farms where beet culture is con-
tinued year by yea without rotation.
There are innumcrable instances however
where livestock was fed-in which the
TONNAGE was very materially increased
and good deal is made of this fact by
the boosters who like to crow about such
things.

rule that the early seeding succeeds the
best but il did not work out the past sea-
son and most Of the planting was not
done until May and some of it was not
finished much before the first Of June all
of which was owing to bad weather and
belated spring. The sections lying
close to the foothills in the northern part
of the state suffered the most in this re-
spect but everything recovered quickly
when the growing weather of June came
on.

regarded as entirely satisfactory. In
Boulder county the Lonsmont factory,
the third LARGEST in the United States,
and with an over.run capacity Of 500
tons day when forced, had 10000 acres
grown under contract and the run will be
completed within week. The average
yield ID reported at fifteen tons the acre
and the long dry fall aided in the work of
harvesting SO that everything was dug, as
in fact was the case in all the districts
throughout the state. The sugar factory
pays the grower the uniform price Of SS
ton for seventy-five percent Of the crop,
delivered at the fsctory or at beet dump
and $3.50 ton fer the remaining twenty
five percent put in the silo and delivered
later.
In the district tributary to the Loveland
factory as in all the other places, the far
mers were urged as far hack as last Feb

was II 900 acres under cont act. The
factors began running on October and is
