bages because OF a deleterious acid
that affected the butter, but from
sugar beets we got fine quality of
butter. The Importance Of this is In
the fact that the farmer needs to use
a root crop In his rotation to clear
the ground. The cultivation required
by such crop improves the yield OF
all succeeding crops.
Europe had learned the value OF the
beet, and the northern continental ma
tons were making their own sugar
from IL and by using 1t In rotation
with other crops had been obtaining
surprisingly big yields per acre. But
here we had been backward In realiz-
ing its Importance. The year l came
into the cabinet the United States had
produced only 10000 tons of beet
sugar.
managed to get public spirited per-
sons to contribute beet seed to begin
investigations, and we found that the
two northern tiers OF states had the
most favorable conditions for beet Gull
ture. We made elaborate inquiries,
sent seed in all directions and had the
beets sent back to US for testings.
| AT the same time we started en-
couraging beet growing in the north
we began TO stimulate the growing OF
rice I'm the south. And l anticipated
that by this time our farmers would

A bulletin issued by the State Agri-
cultural College IN the subject OF hog
| cholera says: Some farmers deliber-
ately, bat unknowingly infect their
herds. Ia districts where cholerS
has never appeared before. and there
are man such 10 this state. where farm
ers have never seen hogs with cholera,
one farmer visits a neignbor to observe
the symptoms of the disease. He eoel
about the hog yards and houses. getting
his shoes laden with germs and then
goes into his own herd looking for
symptoms of the disease. By this
method he actually carries the cause OF
cholera from his neighbours herd iuto
bis cwn. The wise farmer never visits
his nei ,hbor's herd and n yer allows
his neighbo- to visit his head for fear
that cholera may be introduced.

AMATEURS ACT FOR LIBRARY

An very clever bit of amateur
theatricals was given at the public
library Monday afternoon, when
the Ladies' Literary Club repeated
for the benefit of the library, their
program of the previous Friday.
The play given was an adapta-
ton of Shakespeare's Midsummer
Nights Dream, when the mechan-
les are represented in their attempt
to give the drama of Pyramus and
Thisbe on the occasion of the we'd
ding of the Duke of Athens. Our
library rooms, while admirable for
library purposes, are, as everyone
knows, quite without natural ad-
vantages for staging a play, so many
ingenious devices were resorted to,
and much was necessarily left to the
imagination. The inner room was
used as the stage, and a few ever
green trees and screens provided
scenery and exits. A curtain was
drawn across the doorway, in front
of which was a circle of candles in
saucers and a large lantern for foot
lights. These with the drawn win
dow shades and electric lights sug-
gested to the imagination an eve
ming at the theatre.
The main room was packed at an
early hour for the first performance
and was refilled for the second by
ladies who came later.
All the parts were well taken and
the makeups were excellent. Mrs.
| E. o. Brown, as Bottom, had the
most difficult part and her excellent
voice and decided dramatic ability
won much praise.
