CRATE WAS BADLY HURT

Winona, November 5.-John Gratz,
aged thirty-four, a conductor on the
Northwestern line, was seriously and
perhaps fatally injured last Sunday
night near ST. Charles when he STEP
ped from the side of freight car
as the train was moving slowly, evil
IDENTIFY intending to alight, on the
ground. His foot rested upon the
edge of bridge instead and he fell
twenty feet to the concrete culvert
below, missing his footing in the
darkness. He was hurried to the
Rochester hospital by the members
of the train crew where it was said
that his injuries were serious.
Gratz was in charge of the second
section Of regular freight train No.
4S4 which was heavily loaded. AS
the train labored up the st. Charles
hill the young conductor believed
that his train would be install ed and
left the caboose and started along
the top of the train. Sudde My he
stepped from the side of the car
and climbing down the short ladder
alighted, not on the ground as he
supposed, but in space. The acct
dent occurred at 1870 Sunday night
When reached by his friends he
seemed to be in great pain and his
left arm and left leg were. appar-
emily paralyZed. He was buried to
the hospital where he remains in a
serious condition.

PRICE OF POULTRY
FLYING SOME HIGH

chickens now are selling wholesale
at Is cents dressed, ducks at Is and
geese at IL, an average of about 2
cents higher than year ago. Tur-
keys now are selling at from IS to
20 cents, while last year they sold
at 16 around Thanksgiving. Less
than six years ago turkeys at this
time were selling at 12k, chickens
at 6, ducks at and geese at 6.
Even at these high prices enor-
nous quantities of poultry produce
are being placed in cold storage at
present. Eggs are the only product
that are not being stored. They are
selling at 33 cents a dozen now, 4
cents higher than year ago.
Commission men look for a drop in
prices of dressed poultry next year,
because the farmers have more feed,
and therefore probably will raise
more fowls.
Blackhead. the disease mainly re-
sponsible for the shortage of tur-
keys, is being investigated by the
specialists in diseases of poultry of
the United States Department of
Agriculture and at many state exper-
mental stations. Dean A. F. Woods
of the college of agriculture. Uni
versity of Minnesota, said yesterday
it would be investigated by the state
as soon as possible and efforts made
to find cure for it.

st. Paul, November 5.-All poultry
produce is higher now than it has
been at this season for years, declare
the commission men. Very few
chickens, geese, ducks or turkeys
are coming in, though prices range
from 2 to cents pound more than
year ago., Dealers expect turkeys
to do some spectacular soaring be-
tween now and Thanksgiving.
Only one of the commission men
interviewed held out any hope of a
sufficiently increased supply between
now and Thanksgiving to cause poul-
try to remain even as cheap as at
present. He declared farmers are
too busy now to ship poultry and
that after they have completed the
fall blowing shipments will increase.
The commission men expressed
the belief that it does not pay farm
ers to raise turkeys any more, even
at the high prices they are getting
for them, because of the inroads
being made by the blackhead, con-
tagious disease that seems incurable.
The supply has been decreasing
yearly, they say.
"The time is coming fast when It
will be impos isble for any but the
very wealthiest families to have tur-
key on Thank Igiving day." said the
dealer. But there is little consola-
ton for the man who has made his
resolve to eva de the turkey famine

matter came pouring out of this ma
chine but not sliced as sDne would
imagine, like an orange for the
breakfast table. They r7emerge in
shoestring strips and so cunningly
cut that each strip has hollow
side, giving it more surface for the
next process.
This is the extraction of sugar
by a hot water diffusion process.
The beetS are not boiled. They
must not be boiled or the boilers
will get sort of kale which could
not be handled at all. BY the ut
most care and by the use of ma
chimes which record the slightest
fraction of degree of change, the
temperature is kept where the sugar
comes out and the de-sweetened beet
goes on to the dump pile as great
in bulk as when it was sliced, for
sugar is only sunshine, water and
carbon dioxide.
The juice which has been obtain
ed is now purified by an applica-
ton of lime. The burnt lime unites
with the chemical particles in the
juice and lets the sugar alone. The
two contents of the vat are sepa-
rated, the sugar is drawn off by
filtration and goes through several
processes of greater and lesser heat
to thicken the sugar juice and bring
it to a point where crystalization
begins The thick juice now is let
into a drum, whose revolutions are

| this drum are not solid, but very

purities have gone through the re-
volving drum. The other two pro-
cesses are drying and granulation
and then a belt carries it to the
| packing room.
The making of beet sugar ought
to be seen to be appreciated. Like
wise the array of beets delivered
daily at the factory ought to be seen
| in order to appreciate what beet
sugar making is doing for the farm
err of Minnesota. The Scientific
American recently had an interesting
article on beet sugar making in
which it declared that sugar beet
raising had contributed more to that
type of intensive farming which is
making Germany than any other
thing.
One curious but scientific fact
about sugar beets is that they take
nothing whatever from the soil. Ger
many, which has gone in strongly
for sugar making, can afford, says
the Scientific American, to export
sugar and import cereals, for she
will be keeping her soil in its vir-
gin condition while the countries
which send her wheat and corn will
be wearing theirs out.
But the United States is catching
up with Germany in this manufac-
ture Already this country produces
a quarter as much as Germany, but
does not yet produce enough of beet
and cane sugar to supply the Ameri-
can sugar market, which is the larg-
est in the world This country an
nually imports 100000 tons OF
sugar Here is a tremendous mar
ket to be supplied.
! The Minnesota sugar plant has a
capacity of 800 tons of sugar beets
