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 to its
peculiar Importance TO the middle
western states because OF the extent
to which stock feeding is followed as
an industry In this territory. Beet
pulp-that is. what remains of the
beet after the sugar has been extract
ed-hast been proved to be the finest
feed yet discovered for milk cows
and for fattening cattle. sheep and
other farm animals. This is true
whether the pulp Is fed il its wet
state as 1t comes from the factory or
after. being dried. A business OF about
100000 a year has grown up In the
sale OF dried beet pulp. in which form
It can be shipped to any distance.

PLANT THAT IMPROVES SOIL.
The Sugar Beet Increases Yield of
Other Croos,

How sugar beets improve the fertil-
ity Of the soil and increase the yield of
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 a deep rooter,"
says Mr.. Palmer, "a prerequisite to its
culture is that the soil be stirred to a
depth of ten to fourteen inches. The
tender beetlet having to undergo the
shock of thinning soon after it comes
up in order to leave but one beet to a
place, it demands a well prepared, mel
low seed bed. Gathering the sugar in
It's leaves from the atmosphere by the
aid of the light and storing it up in the
roots, 1t will not thrive If the light is
cut off through being shaded by weeds,
and their eradication means not only a
further stirring Of the soil by cultiva-
ton and hoeing, but they are removed
befOre~ going to seed, thus leaving
NEEDLESS fields for succeeding crops.
Being plowed out In autumn gives an
extra fall blowing, which leaves the
land in condition to absorb instead of
shed the fall and winter rains and store
up the moisture for the following sea-
sons crop. With the removal Of the
main root myriads of fbrous roots are
broken off and left in the soil to an
average of a on to the acre, and in
rotting they not only deposit humus In
the lower strata of soil, but leave mi
mute channels through which it be-
comes aerated and hence fertile. The
roots of subsequent crops follow these
interstices and draw nutriment from
two and three times the depth of soil
formerly reached, and hence the farm
ers double and treble their soil output
without increasing their acreage"
