Beet pulp as Cattle Food

In summarizing the important fea-
lures of sugar beet growing In various
parts of the country the Department
OF Agriculture calls attention 10 its
peculiar Importance 10 the middle

to which stock feeding is followed as
an industry IN this territory Beet

PLANT THAT IMPROVES SOIL.
The Sugar Beet Increases Yield Of
Other Crops.

Other Crops.
How sugar bcets improve the fertfl-
ity of the soil and increase the yieldof
all crops grown in rotation with them
is explained in the National Magazine
by Truman G.. Palmer, who has spent
the past ten years in studying agricul-
tural methods in Europe and America.
'"The sugar beet being n deep rooter,"
says Mr.. Palmer. "a prerequisite to Its
culture is that the sell be stirred to q
depth of ten 10 fourteen inches. The
tender beetlct having to undergo the
shock Of thinning soon after it comes

without increasing their acreage"

methods. THE growing of these
crops until within few years could
not have been ranked as agriculture,
but should have been described as
highway robbery of the soil. AS a re-
suit the average production per acre of
these crops has fallen to q minimum.
! Farming, for one thing, must be
made more attractive. 1t should be
made more profitable. This will be
done as our farmers learn more thor
oughly the principles of intensive cult
vation and get knowledge of the
methods of feeding the soil and Of. the
rotation of crops.
'"ro this end 1 have been preaching
for the past thirty years the gospel of
the sugar beet.
1.-THE production of the sugar beet
requires the highest style of intensive
culture that science has been able to
suggest. The principles of feeding the
sugar crops, the methods of culture
and handling, the attention and skill
OF the workers, are such as to create in
every field and factory devoted to
sugar culture an agricultural expert
ment station of the highest type The
soil and climatic conditions in the great
er part of the United States are thor
oughly favorable to beet culture, and
America is the greatest sugar market
IN the world.
in the case of the sugar beet the
crops which are grown in rotation with
Ii yield very much larger returns than
when the old fashioned system of agri-
culture prevailed. The reflex action of
this infuelice> becomes a benefit to
American agriculture the value of
which It would be difficult to measure
in dollars and cents.
Wherever the sugar beet is cult
waited the farmers are all prosperous,
no matter what kind of other crops
they raise. TAe beet generally i'm
proves the productiveness of the soil in
al kinds Of agriculture. 1t causes the
employment Of more labor and indi-
recGy benefits commerce and transpor-
tatiou ana produces in every commu.
city conditions Of prosperity in. agri
culture which it would be difficult to
bring aieut in any other way.
The culture Of the beet brings into
the neiehborhcod the large sugar fac
tory using fuel and other raw mate !
rial. with its complement of laborers
and experts. thus giving a better and
more profitable market to the surround
ing farmers For all their products.
while there has been Il general tend I
ency toward the reduction of tariff du- +
ties. this tendency has not reached In |
many cases the extent OF tie abolition /
of import duties altogether. In any |
changes of this sort let as much as pos
sible be saved to the farmer. In view
of the great Importance of domestic

the American farme~. If tariff adjust

this should be the last rather than the

HOW 1T WORKED IN OHIO.

Pauldins Banker Shows Row Sugar
Beet Culture Increased Prosperity.
That the establishment OF the sugar

increase Of S20.o0oo00 in the value OF
farm lands in the state by the end of
the present year Is the statement of G.
III. Allen. banker of Paulding, o.

great producers Of sugar as Michigan
said Mr. Allen, and they will unless
hostile legislation by congress inter-
feres with the natural development OF
this Industry. In Paulding county
| alone, although the beet sugar factory
here has been in operation only two
years, the value of farm property has
increased $5.000,000 rs a result of the
introduction Of sugar beet culture. An
other result has been the investment of
100000 or more in other beet sugar
factories in this section of the state
within the past year, which in turn
will vastly increase the value of the
farm land surrounding them, adding
S2O,OO0,OO0 or more to the agricultural
wealth of this region.

was disappointed, came unex-

made application for the appoint,

to Secretary Bryan. who in turn,
named him to President Wilson
for the appointment.
This appointment comes as a

shakes hands with anyone or
performs a courteous act, It is
attributed to political diplomacy.
1t so happened that as he got off
the car a lady got off carrying a
hand satchel and two boxes of
peaches. Mr.. Hoyt is naturally
very gallant with the ladies and
of course offered to carry the
boxes up the big steps. Just as
he got to the top he paused to
rest. beirg rather corpulent, and
just then he observed some of
his republican friends grinning
like chessy cats. He read their
minds quick as a flash. and this
reminded him what he had come
for. so he carried the boxes up to
the business part of town and
was just about to solicit a vote.

marked that she had just moved

Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. w. Kelso
returned Tuesday from visit in
Kansas with their son. They
report the weather very hot and
dry in Kansas and the wheat
crop very poor. Mr.. Kelso made
a close study of. the prohibition
question while there and is con-
WINGED that the stories of open
and fragrant violations of the law
are the exception and not the
rule. One of the leading dailies
of Topeka states that there were
only 1874 federal stamps issued
in Kansas up to August 10. for
this year. or one blind pig for
every Sill persons. In COM
parison New York has a blind
pig for every 817 inhabitants,
besides having q, 472 saloons.
Illinois has according to the ar
ticle, 10, 045 blind pigs, or one
for every 561 inhabitants besides
having IL, 7O8 licensed saloons or
combined. one liquor seller for
every 248 persons. All of these
facts prove that the blind pig
industry thrives in all states but
far less in dry than in wet states

GUS and cannot flourish long, in
fact the article states many of
them in Kansas are put out of

Writers on political science differ
widely as to tho origin OF the state,
but for practical purposes their theo-
ries may be reduced to four. 1. The
theory OF social compact. II was as
sumed that a community or any num-
Der OF communities could unite under
a common form OF government and
when one or more OF these communi-
ties should tire Of this union II could
withdraw from II without hIndrance.

The preamble OF our national consti-
tuition says that governments are
formed TO establish justice. 10 insure
domestic tranquility, provide for the
common defense, promote the general
welfare and secure the blessings OF
liberty TO ourselves and our posterity."
To an American that would be suf-
ficicnt refutation Of this theory. 3.

cordInE 20 one form of this theory
