l Sometimes Watch Him Holding Baby in His Arms.

I did not know who she really was until dad told me that her father came to him in the spirit of gratitude, when he received the news of her re- covery; they buried the animosity that had existed so long, and dad, with the sense of generosity still prevailing, de- cided to make advances to offset re- conciliation with us. We were greatly shocked to receive a message a few hours before he was due to arrive, that he was on his way to visit us.
 Oh, Alma, I cant tell you how glad I was to see him,-I laid my head on his shoulder and actually wept for joy. All the disagreement of the past seems like horrid dream.

 This term is popularly applied to my of the Polyzoa, which are com pound marine animals. several of which share q common horny skele ton, or polyzoary, which is plant-like in form. According to the bureau of fisheries, several hundred thousand pounds of these skeletons have been imported annually from Europe. chief N from France and Germany, for dec orative and millinery purposes. and the supply has now been practically out off by the war. It therefore seems opportune to develop domestic in' dustry. as sea mosses. probably equal In quality to those heretofore import cd, are said to be abundant on o''f coasts. especially in New England.

I believe Mir Gordon is truly penitent, and is making every effort to atone; time perhaps will ban ish the memory of his disloyalty.

MARKET DISTANCE
LIMITS COSTS

A scientific treatise on the relation
of distance from markets to cost Of
farm production has been published by
Professor Maresch, who has studied
groups of fifty Moravian farms in a
three, six and nine mile radius from a
large city.
Distance from market, exerts a
great influence on the utilization of
land. The relative acreage of cutli'
waited land diminishes with the in
crease Of distance from market, espe.
ciallv in the case Of fruits and veget
ablcs which are not readily transported
long distances except by rail.
Affects Land Values
Land values decrease with Increasing
distance and poor roads, but the value
of impIov ements is not so affected. The
nearer to market the farm Is located
the less wo king capital is required for
successful operation of an agricultural
enterprise; close to market less machin.
cry is used because intensive takes the
rInrc Of extensive farming.
Dead stock" or implements of pro
Juction only occasionally in use in
crrascs in volume with distance from
market. There must be heavier
outlay for wagons, draft animals or
other means of transportation. The
cratic of uSn' diminishcs and idle
capital investment increases.
And Profits Too
The influence Of distance from mark.
ct on the working efficiency of labor
is different for men and animals. Close
to the markets fewer work animals are
employ ed and their efficiency is low.
Cultivation costs in days per acre were
one thir less for men, and for horses
one third more, ten miles from mark ct
than within thrce miles. The number

proportion with increasing distance

sugar, in the meantime more advan.
tageously, and he. has only to buy in
the contract on the exchange and the
deal is closed. For instance, if the ,sit.
uatiOn looks good for the fall months,
he will switch his futures, buying Ia
the 5000 tons MAY sugar and selling
an equal quantity Of September sugar,

ira carrying charges causing the latter
month to be quoted say We higher.
But on the assumption that the cost
and freight price has fallen say to 3Igc
by May, the planter is about half a
cent to the good as COMPARED with
l"jc, or practically the same as May.
Rchners or operators would not,
under the old practise, contract with
the planter so far ahead. He nav, If
he wishes, only sell part of the expected
production as hedge and wait until
the actual movement to market for tn,
remainder. Being on the spot, h. is
able to operate quicker and more ar.
curatcly than the outside trader, ior
nothing counts like. first hand informa-
tlon M to the progress of the crop.
Should there be tOrrential rains, which
will delay or reduce the yield, buying
orders could he cRbled before the Ordi-
nary Spectator grasped the situation.
la the same way--if tho developments
in Cuba were unexpectedly favorable
for large crop, selling orders could b.
rushed to the broker and early action
obtained.
THE eff acy Of operating, in futures
has been proved by the experience OF
Europe, where the planter and manu-
facturer of beet sugar has used the
exchanges in London and Hamburg for
years with the best results. Even now
that the war has closed these ex.
changes, New York is getting foreign
orders, showing the crying need for Op.
portunity to protect transactions in ac.
tual sugar
Other Opinions
MCssrS, tzarnikOw EiOnha Co'rpany
state as follows: "Quotations on tn,
Coffee Exchange have clos " followed
the actual market developments, from
which it is evident that trading there
reflects more truly, and discOur t. with
much greater accuracy, promptly as
they arise, all the influences la Favor
as well as against the situation of the
nttirle. There is certainly an inhOva.
ti"n Of great Importance and much
benefit, as compared with having to
rely solely upon the attitude of re6ners,
who, after providing for their require
ments for moderate period, have in
the past usually withdrawn from the
market.
Mrssrs A. II. I,amborn & Co. state:
"tr to the present time, it is still
impossible to trade duty.free sugars. or
refined, but at the same tune those
Interested in either of these commoii.
ties. can easily hedge (safeguard)
their positions on the exchange by sell
ing future delivery against their pro.
auctions, same to he bought in at such
tin" When those Interested are reaHv b
make delivery of their own sugars. On
III" other hand, those Interested In re.
fined sugars can easily enough hedge
their positions, when the market war,
rants, by buying raw sugars for future
delivery, same to he resOld at such time
when buying actual refined, thereby
protecting their interests" :.

forts, however, have so far been sue
cessful that they have at last been ablr
to puTsuade the government to set on
foot an inquiry which will enable the
board of agriculture to base a definite
opinion upon it.
Time Not Ripe
Thee are one or two important ques
lions involved. Is the present time as
OnpOrtune for pressing the matter as
some ASSERT 1t is trueathat England is
largely dependent upon European coun
tries for her sugar supply, but it has
yet to be proved 10 the satisfaction of
the farmer that a sugar.beet crop will
be more rGmunerative to him than
root crop.
The proposal to establish a sugar
industry on the data available is es-
sentiaIly of a speculative nature, When
the fact is clearly established that the
Industry can be proftably introduced,
money will be Forthcoming, without
government assistance, for the estab
.ishmeut of the necessary factories.
There must be some doubt among its
supporters as to the success Of the prof

vote some of their energies to it. If

protection, is desirable for sugar pro
ducing, the claims Of established colon

consideration
Profits Not Proved
IT is obvious that the laying down
Of land for beet growing must displace
either other roots or grain, or possibly
absorb ground required for pasture. At
time when there is a growing demand
for wheat, it seems wiser policy for
the farmers at the present juncture to
exert their energies in a direction of
proved value and acknowledged need
than to embark upon a departure the
value of which has yet to be demon,
