cultivation is practiced. This opera
ton Is usually performed by the aid
OF a horse and the beet cultivator We
should exercise care in order that the
cultivator may not run too deep The
young plants should not be hilled up
for they require all of the air and sun
light that it is possible to receive
After the first cultivation it is Gus
to1nary to remove the remaining
weeds with the hoe, also the excess
OF beets may be removed at this time
In all parts of the West sugar beets
seem to do the best upon irrigated
land. When It becomes necessary to
irrigate. the water is usually applied
shortly after the first cultivation and
hoeing. The water is passed down
between the rows so as to not flood
the beets. If the soil is open and
porous the first application OF moisture
will saturatc the first six or eight
inches of soil. The second watering
Is usually put on in the same way as
the first, but not as large quantities
as the former application. 1t is never
good plan to irrigate sugar beets un.
til the condition Of the plants indicate
that water is necessary If the first
water is applied too early in the sea

spriggy. Each beet grower should make

self and learn when and how to apply
the necessary water.
The digger is used almost exclusive
" In harvesting the sugar beets. This
machine operates upon the same prin-
ciple as the common potato digger,
Long prongs run along in the ground,
gently lifting the beets and dropping
them in furrow behind the machine.
The tops are usually removed by
hand in the field and allowed to re.
main there where they serve as a
fertilizer for the next crop.
Aside from the value of beets to the
manufacturer, they are priced very
highly by the stockmen. Experiments
conducted at the different experiment
stations seem to indicate that sugar
beets have feeding value equal to
that OF corn, that is, five acres of SUI
gar beets is considered as valuable
for feeding purposes as twenty acres
OF corn. The feeding value of one
ton of beets with the beef and NUT
ton at the present price is worth
about SIS. To some this might ap.
pear unusually large. but even If this
figure were divided by two profit
could be secured by the growing Of
this crop for feeding purposes.

HELPED LAY CORNERSTONE OF CHURCH AS CHILD Y YEARS
 AGO AND NOW DOES II AGAIN

it's founding. Her maiden name was Sarah A. Bassett and her ancestral home stood until @ few years ago, just west of the Quinnipiac river, on the main road. She began attending Sunday school just a few years be- fore the brick church was built. She was married by the pastor of the 1S41, to Elmer Hopkins. Nine years later she and her family removed to Fair Haven and there they have. since resided. In all that long period, how ever, she has occasionally attended service at the old North Haven church
 ''The only Sunday school teacher remember was a Miss Charlotte Ray. She taught me in both the old wooden church and the brick church, I think. I we'll remember how proud we chill dren were, when the paper with our names written on it was placed under
 the cornerstone"
 Mrs Hopkins now lives with her son, Sereno Hopkins. During the Civil war, she sent this son to the front. Her husband had been a member of the old North Haven Blues quarter of a century before She has one dauEn- ter, Mrs. c. O. Howard, Of Exchange street.
 Mrs. Hopkins talks interestingly of the old days in North Haven. 'The town has changed but little in my rec ollection,'' she said. 'I thought the trolleys would make a new place of it but it hasn't done so yet. The farms are still there, most of the old houses stand and there are not a lies descendants are still there, and though the customs have changed any body could recognize the town as the North Haven of 75 years ago"

New Haven, Nov 23.-In the audi ence which witnessed the laying of the corner stone for a new edifice for North Haven Congregationalists last week, was a woman who as a member of the Sunday school took part in the exercises and had her name placed be- meath the slab when the cornerstone was laid in 1884 for the brick church which was destroyed by fire last spring. Of all the members of that Sunday school of 7 years ago, this old lady, Mrs. Harriet A. Hopkins of 103 Grand avenue is, so far as is known the only survivor.
 When Mrs. Hopkins joined in the ex- erclses of the laying of the corner stone for the old brick church, she was just ten years old. Though she is 87 now, she was just as much interested in the ceremony last week as she was in the first one she witnessed. Her wish now is to be able to attend the ceremonies which will mark the com pletion of the new church
 Mrs Hopkins loves to recall remin- iscences of that old Sunday school. In the wooden church with the high tow CT, which preceded the brick church, there was gallery which was boarded high on sides with spindles just above, between which the pupils looked out at the preacher and congregation. She relates with enthusiasm how the boys "carried >on' and raised rim'' when the teachers backs were turned.
 The old church is one of the dearest history is woven with her life and 'that of her ancestors. She comes of. an old North Haven family and they were identified with the church since

THE INTIMATE PERSONAL CHARM
 OF .sT,HE SEVEN SISTERS"
 "The Seven Sisters, which comes to the Park, Monday night, with Char les Cherry, is said to have been called in the original, '.The Gyurkovics Girls, and Hungarians in this city say that there is such a family in Hungary which is the proud possessor of the lucky seven. At any rete there is every evidence in the play that the author, Ferencz Herczeg, had an inti- mate knowledge of the family life he was writing about and that the. per sonal element entered into it largely. In the first place he has given the hero, Lieutenant Horkoy, his own first name, though he is, more familiarly known in the play as s'Ferf'; but when Mici rises in her indignation in the third act, she calls him ''Ferencz Hor- kOy.v M
 E It is curious how opinions differ in regard to which is the better act of of the first act appeared to make the strongest impression. It has a rapid ity of action and movement of comic situations that made a high standard to maintain through the other acts. The distinguished Hungarian has not only accomplished this, but he has provided last act that is to many the most attractive of the play. It has the real atmosphere of the Hun garian life at q wedding feast There is the charm of music and blending lights, several funny episodes and the strongest love scene in the play. The jewellers at the six day wedding feast show, by fine suggestion only, how weary they really are, for the Colonel has forgotten that he has been play ing cards with his wife and has all ready paid thousand guildens which he lost to her, without remembering it. The family breakfast is played with a naturalness and earnestness by the. company which makes it appear almost real, when seen near at hand from the wings. The conclusion of the play sends people home in a happy mood. There was one young man at the theatre last Saturday night who grasped the situation thoroughly when he said to a young lady as he was walking out of the theatre, Its "a great finish"

William TempletOn Resigned Position as Consul General Rather Than
 Change Allegiance.

 Teheran, Nov. 23-Though the Per eian government has decided to yield 10 Russia, to the, extent of surrender ing the confiscated property of Shea Es Sultaneh, which a Russian bank claims under a mortgage. and apollo gizing for it's seizure, the Czar's de- mand for the expulsion of Treasurer General Shuster, American, is still be- ang resisted today. Diplomats doubt if Russia will be satisfied with any thing short of compliance with his de- mand. since the speed with which Shuster is getting Persia's financial affairs upon a proper basis promises soon to deprive the Czar of good cause for grab of northern prov inces. High government officials say their country will certainly lose its liberty if Shuster does go and they mean to hang to him, hoping some other power may come to their aid.
 England, which wants to seize south ern Persia, has declined to interfere.

How Teddy Would Stop LynchIng For
 Criminal Assault
Especial rom United Press. ];


 New York, Nov. 23-Declaring that legal delays often result in exhibitions of lynch. law and demanding that criminal assault upon women be made a capital crime for which there must be an immediate remedy, Theodore Roosevelt in the current number of the Outlook today attacked lynching in outspoken terms
 Repeated race riots and lynchings that have occurred in the Southern States during the last decade or so must have convinced the least obSer- want that neither race feeling nor the tendency to lynching is in a sense pc cIliar to the South. It is a horrible thing for which the whole country must bear responsibility
 But were denunciation of the crime of a mob amounts to little or noth- ing. We must recognize what the facts are that excite the mob to act. Dreadful though it is for the moo, spirit to be reused in community by such a crime, it would be an even worse calimity if the community did not feel the fury of indignation which produces the mob spirit and such a fury of indignation should be able to seek satisfaction under the law and not against the laW.'

CHAPLAIN FAIRFAX DROPPED BY KING
 ALLOWED TO GO.
Special from limited Prass


 London, Nov. 23-Though a pretense is being made at Scotland Yard today of vigorous hunt for the Rev. Fred erick Percival Farrar, who disappear ed following his dismissal from the post of domestic chaplain to King George and for whom a warrant is said to be out, none believed that the authorities wish or intend to catch him.
 General opinion is that a hint was deliberately given to the now missing man, at least two weeks before his disappearance, that it would be we'll for him to vanish and that sufficient time was given him to settle his af- fairs and provide himself with funds to bury himself under an assumed name and in some place where he will never be heard from by the outside world again.
 Disappearance of this kind. pre-ar- ranged by the authorities, to avoid a prosecution, are by no means unpre- cedented in England. The Rev. Far rar'S case is an unusual one The character of the accusations against him are such that their ventilation ill open court would be painful to the King and Queen.
