where BEDS ARE UNKNOWN
Residents of Merida, Yucatan, Enjoy
Repose in Hammocks Which May
Be SIung Anywhere.

In Merida, Yucatan, the majority Of
the people do not use beds, in fact
very few of them have even seen one.
They sleep in hammocks, which are
swung across the rooms at night and
with no fuss of bedmaking; the per-
son just goes to bed and is gently
rocked to sleep by any passing breeze.
The climate is so hot that 1t is only
during the months of January and
February that light sheet may be
required as covering.
These hammocks are usually made
by the mother of the family, writes
Lilly dec. Osborn, in st. Nicholas, and
consist of thread, more or less fine,
woven together on great frames with
a kind of shuttle or needle. Some of
the designs are wonderfully intricate
and the colors beautifully blended. I
saw one very large one, made in the
colors of the United States flag, which
was to be sent up to the United States
for gift. It was certainly work Of
art, made of the very finest mercerized
thread; and yet the hammock could
easily support a weight of 300 pounds.
A servant always brings his or her
own hammock, which is very conven-
lent.

EARLY ADOPTION OF AREA TESTING PLAN
IS URGED ON THE OWNERS OF HERDS

sary to make area testing successful.
After the authority has been given,
all parties concerned must see that
the measures of the officers are en-

would not follow.
Gives Communities Regulations.
The proposition should interest the
owners of Neutrality-suspicious., as well as
of tuberculous herds. Moreover, if the
plan is adopted by q community, 1t
will be means of establishing mar
ket for cattle that is certain to bring
better prices for surplus stock than
would otherwise exist. For the owner
of herd in which tuberculosis is con-
fined to but one or two animals, this
is means Of transforming his herd
at single stroke from the tuber-
culous to the Neutrality-suspicious. list. As
means of protecting the herd which
is now free from this disease this plan
furnishes form of insurance that is
impossible to procure in any other
manner.
AS the state of Wisconsin allows the
owner of condemned cattle One-half
the appraised value, provided that
one-half of the appraised value does
not exceed $40 for grade or 800 for
a pure bred and provided the other
provisions of the law are complied
with, it would seem that no farmer
can afford to miss this opportunity to
place his herd in the clean list. He
can do this by favOring the area
testing proposition.

Quoits Really Ancient Game.

The QUOT is a fiattish ring of iron,
used in playing. It is generally from
eight and half to nine and half
inches in external diameter, and be-
tween one and two inches in breadth,
convex on the upper side and slightly
concave on the under side, SO that the
outer edge curves downward, and is
sharp enough to cut into soft ground.
The game played with such rin9s re-
quires two pins, called hobs, driven
part of their length into the ground
some distance apart; and the players,
who are divided into two sides, stand
beside one hob, and in regular sue
cession throw their quoits, of which
each player has two, as near the other
hob as they can. The side which has
the QUOT nearest the hob counts a
point toward the game, or, If the QUOT
is thrown so as to surround the hob,
it counts two. The game slightly re-
sembles the ancient exercise Of throw.

First Wheat Grown In Canada.

The first wheat that ripened in Ca
madam sunshine was grown in 1907
at Port Royal, now Annapolis Basin,
Nova Scotia. Here Champlain and de
Monts founded a post and built fort.
They were joined by Marc Lescarbot,
a lawyer Of Paris, a poet, and the
earliest writer of Canadian history.
Love of adventure drew him to Port
Royal. Outside the palisades Of the
fort he cultivated a plot Of land In
part Of which he sowed wheat,
brought, of course, from France. His
sowing was fall or winter wheat. 1t
grew well, ripened perfectly, and with
sickles Lescarbot and his associates
cut the crop. That was the first wheat
crop harvested on land now within the
Dominion of Canada.

ton, increased price for beetS following
any increase in the price for sugar
selling over SO a hundredweight. The
farmer always knows what he will
get for his crop when harvested, since
the contracts are signed before the
beet is planted in the spring.
Opportunities in Beet Growing.
The growing Of sugar beets is not
limited to any particular area In the
state, but usually the crop Is best
grown on we'll drained, clayey and fer
tile sandy loan soils with a consid-
cradle amount Of humus in them. How
ever, fairly good crops are grown on
other soils when properly managed.
Any soil that will grow a good crop
Of potatoes, corn, grain and clover
will grow sugar beets. Fertility and
physical character of the soil and at
tention given the crop while it is grow
ing will in a large measure determine
the yield of this important crop.
The crop, too, is less susceptible
to diseases than are many other farm
crops. Sugar beets can stand consid-
cradle drought before being seriously
affected. The crop can tide over adj
verse conditions of weather early In
the spring and in the fall without much
injury.
In view of the fact that sugar beets
can be proftably grown in many COM
munities of the II counties in the
state, and when it is rem embered that
a factory with daily slicing capacity
of 600 tons would take 900 acres OF
lotion to the acre beets to operate 80
days, one can easily comprehend the
great possibility for developing the
sugar beet growing industry in Wis
cOnsin.

Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
With a crop covering but 22,8O0
acres, or about one township, Wis
cOnsin farmers are producing 10000
tons of sugar this year. This beet crop
will keep four beet sugar factories
busy for an average of about 90 days,
and will supply about 85 per cent Of
the annual sugar consumption of the
state.
The crop is 1000 acres larger than
last year and is largely grown by farm
ers located in counties in the eastern,
central and southeastern portion Of
the state.
Four Factories in State.
Sugar beet factories in the state
are located at GAINESVILLE, MenomOnee
Falls, Madison and Chippewa Falls,
each with slicing capacity ranging
from 400 to 600 tons Of beets daily.
About 16 counties in the northeastern
lart Of the state grow beets for large
factory located at Menominee, Mich.
It is estimated that the yield OF
sugar beets this year will not aver
age more than ten tons an acre. Long
continued drought in July and August,
especially in the eastern counties OF
the state, the shortage OF labor and
tack of proper attention during the
period of growth have unquestionably
brought down the yield considerably,
although some yields ranging from
six to twenty-four tons to the acre
are anticipated by farmers this year.
Sugar factories are paying SO per
ton f. O. b. loading station. Some
are writing contracts on the sliding
,cale order which guarantee SO per
