Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1914-07-10

This applies in particular to the training OF the
youthful student. All those who have gained expe-
rience as teachers will readily admit the initial diff
fculty which exists in arousing the intelligent in
terest of class in study In other words, some
thing is needed to set the machinery of the mind
in motion. For example, flower or an insect, as
SUCH may fail to evoke the desired response. But
If we can point out curious or grotesque like
ness which it bears to familiar creature or thing
we are able from this starting point to lead on by
carefully planned stages to such great questions as
structure. natural affinity, and adaptation to envi-
ronment.
When nature is in of her initiative moods,
the products OF her workshop frequently bear all the
ear-marks of a deliberate fake. Occasionally they
seem to have been conceived and executed in a
spirit of sportiveness AS an indication OF this
mood the remarkable Tara crab of Japan, which
has lately attracted the attention of science, stands
forth as conspicuous example
In Japanese tradition there is story to the eff
feet that many years ago great naval battle was
fought in the Sea of Japan between force OF pi-
rates and Japanese resulting in the total destruc-
ton of the pirate fleet The story continues that
since that day all of the crabs of certain species
found that part of the coast have borne on their
backs the face of Japanese warrior.
examination of of these crabs reveals at
a glance the somewhat startling visage The hui
manike is not only there, and typically orien-
tai in appearance at that. but actually resembles

the face OF a drowned
man, with open mouth
and greatly swollen fea-
lures.
Whether the Japanese
idea that the Tara crab
offers good evidence of
the transmigration OF
the souls of dead bodies
into the bodies of lower
animals be accepted or
not, the phenomenon
described is certainly
very interesting. An
other curious thing
about this crab is the
fact that it is equipped
on its back with four

legs, which are shown in
the accompanying pho
tograph at the corners
of the mouth of the

o TRACE in natural objects a re-
semblance, either structural or
pictorial, to other objects with
which they have no real connec-
ton is diverting pastime. More
over, though at first thought it
may seem somewhat puerile, 1t
can in fact be turned to good ac-
count as a means of stimulating
the imagination, and inducing the
mind to embark upon course OF
truly scientific investigation which
may lead to important discoveries.

THE REASON WHY

We have sold more land in the desilla val
ley, Just north Of Ell PasO, in the past six
months and in fact the past six years than
any other two firms in FL PasO or Las
Cruces. First the fact that we have
farmed over IS years here and are now one
Of the largest farmers in the valley; (Znd)
we have been selling land for the last six
years. ana our customers are all satisfied;
lSrdl we believe we are better posted on the
quality Of soil and location as well as prices
than any other firm in the city; (4th) we
are our friends afterwards; (5th) and that
we are principally interested in settling up
the valley. We viii take pleasure in fur
any time.
These are some Of the reasons; there are
others.

The Welsh Note.

Here is what the Rev. John
Evans tells US in reference to the
way in which English was taught
in Wales in the eighteenth century:
''This school had several features
unknown in the Welsh school of to-
day. The Welsh note was one in
dispensable feature. This secured
English conversation. 1t was q
smooth piece of wood, like a fiat
inch rule, with the letters wv. NJ
carved on it, When any one was
caught speaking Welsh the Welsh
note was Immediately handed to
him, but the hand which held it at
the end of the lesson was the one
made to Jingle I'M consequence, 80
it was a common occurrence for the
child who had it to move about
from pew to pew, craftily tempting
others to speak Welsh. This sign
of guilt therefore often changed
hands until at last it rested in that
which had to bear the burden of al
the transCreSsionS of that lsv."

SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.
Wages and Prices of Beets Much High
er In the United States.

The difference between the cOndi-
tiOns under which beet sugar is aroduc-
ed in the United States and Europe is
strikingly shown by a report just pub
lished as a United States senate doc
ument. Summarizing III reports from
various European countries, this docII-
ment shows that Go cents day was
the highest rate earned by men work
ing In the European beet fields. while
46 cents was the average rate In all
the European countries, However, the
greater part of the field labor is done
by women and children at wages rang
ing from 10 cents a day for children
I'm Russia TO SO cents day for women
In Denmark. To these poor iaborers
the $500 a day, which represents the
average earnings of field workers IN
the United States, must appear
princely income.
Among the factory workers engaged
in beet sugar production the difference
Is equally striking. The men working
I'm the factories of the great European
sugar making countries, France and
germany. receive an average gully
wage Of 81 cents, according TO official
figures published by their own govern
ments. The average American wage
for employees in the beet sugar facto-
ries. $3.50 day, is more than three
times as great
Likewise the farmers who grow the
beets in Europe receive only 81 TO
$50 ton for their crops, although
they pay four to five times as much
rent for their land as the American
farmer does.
While these figures serve 10 show
why it is that Europe can produce sug
ar cheaper than the United States, il
Is an interesting fact that the only
important country Of Europe where
the people are able TO buy sugar
cheaper than in the United States is
England. Even in England the price
paid for the sugar most generally used
Is rs high as the prices paid here. On
the whole. the lot OF an American sugar
beet grower or worker must be consid-
cred preferable TO that OF his Euro
pean competitor.

GOOD CROP FOR INDIANA.
Farmers Find Profit In Sugar 6s,ts
and Increased Yield of Other Crors-

Farmers Find Profit In Sugar 6sots
and Increased Yield Of Other CROPS.
How sugar beet growing i'm Indiana
has worked out thus far in actual prac-
tice may be seen by a few instances
OF Indiana farmers who have planted
the new crop and have kept record
OF cost and profit. H. Haggard Of Mon
roe put twenty acres into sugar beets.
He gathered fifteen tons per acre, a
little above the average crop. and
made a profit OF $500, or so an acre.
John Hyerly OF Bluffton got a crop OF
nineteen tons 10 the acre from a field
OF thirteen acres. His profit after de-
Quoting all expenses was SCI an acre.
This, he said, was the biggest profit he
had ever made on farming land.
Fred lsch of Button kept a careful
account of his different crops. His
corn nctted him profit of SIS an acre,
his oats SIS, and twelve and half acres
of sugar beets gave him So an acre
above expenses. This, he said. proved
TO his satisfaction that beet growing
is a money maker for the farmer. aside
from the vast amount of good his land
derives from beets and the lessons in
scientific farming thes teach hinf''
Fifteen acres in sugar beets gave n
yield of eleven tons 10 the acre on tho
farm of L. w. Bushv of Monroe. Mr..
BuShy declared that he was well pleas
ed with the outcome of his first season
with the crop
we had an unusual rainfall here
abouts," he said, which Injured all

Die my tonnage per acre As il was. I
made profit of about So per acre.
and. although have not had any per-
sonal experience Of the good the land
receives from cultivating beets. | have
seen other farmers who have almost
doubled their oat crop by rotation with
beets."
William Caesar of Preble had raised
beets in Michigan for seven years be-
fore coming TO Indiana. He said that
the rainy season Of last year did not

he found his new land better fitted for
the crop than the farm he had left In
Michigan. Even with last years rainy
weather he averaged thirteen tons OF
beets to the acre and looked for from
fifteen to twenty in the coming season.
He planted fourteen acres last year
and this spring will plant forty.
II know from actual experience" he
said, that farmer can harvest from
twenty-five TO thirty bushels more oats
per acre on the land&he has sown to
beets than he could%before growing
them"
l.. A. Thomas Of Monroe. who was
growing beets for the second time last
year, said that his beet crop had drop
ped from twenty tons TO the acre TO
eleven on account Of the unfavorable
weather, but that he felt he had made
a big profit Notwithstanding. The oats
which be planted on his former beet
land yielded double the amount he had
been accustomed to harvest because OF
the added fertility Of the soil produced
by beet cultivation.

WATER apKS.
They Are Stamped In the Paper BY
Patterns of Wire.

The discovery of The watermark
was the result of an accident, Prob
ably thousand years ago. Parch-
ment was then made of vegetable
pulp, which was poured in a liquid
state into a sieve. The water drip
ped out from below, and the thin
layer of pulp that remained was
pressed and dried. When dry it
was found to bear upon it the
marks of the fiber that composed
the bottom of the sieve.
These fbers seem to have been
twisted reeds, and the mark they
left on the parchment took the
form of wide lines running across
and across diagonally. In those
days the watermark was regarded
as a blemish since the fiber was
thick and coarse and the deep i'm
preston made on the paper proved
drawback in writing.
THE quill of the scribe found
many yawning gap to cross on
the surface ct the manuscript
"switchback scripture" it has been
termed. But when wire was sub
stituted for fiber in the sieve, says
writer in the Denver Republican,
the lines of the watermark grew
thinner and less conspicuous.
The possibilities of the useful
ness of the watermark became ap-
parent by degrees. 1t was first
found to be of service in preventing
the forgery of books and manu-
scIipts. Many a bogus copy of
rare work has been detected be-
cause the counterfeiter failed to
take into account the watermarks
of the original.
The watermark of many a pre-
cious manuscript in the worlds mu-
seums is alike its glory and its
safeguard And in the sphere of
bank notes and paper money every
where the watcrmark is most use
full in protecting the notes from
imitation.
The term "watermark" is in re-
atty a misnomer since the mark
is actually produced by wire. Wire
| is fashioned into the desired pat
tern, figure or lettering. This is
inserted beneath the sheet in the
last stages of its manufacture and
while the paper is still capable of
receiving the impression, and the
wire device stamps itself into the
sheet.
Ordinary note paper held up to
the light reveals hundreds of par
allel lines running up and down,
betraying the fact that the paper
was made on a wire foundation.
To this the paper owes its smooth
ness and its even texture.

Root Crop Every Fourth Year.

Few persons realize that large por-
ton OF Germany is but a sandy plain
and her enormous crop yields due TO
the fact that for each three acres OF
cereals grown her farmers raise one
acre of hoed crops, thus producing a
root crop on each field every fourth
year. They grow sugar beets wher-
ever possible and are the greatest pro
ducers of this vegetable In the world.
