TUS BEKT SUGAR ISVU8TSY.
In 1707, with pecuniary assistance of
Kins Frodorlch Wilholm III of I'rusiia,
Front Curl Acliard established at Bloin
an the first auuar beet factory In the
world. At present, there are about
2500 beet tugar factorlei In Europe, and
the capital Invested In them l over
f 1)00,000,000. Nearly 3,000,000 acrea are
under beet cultivation, ntvint employ
nientto about 0)0,000 farmhand! and
boyi, and producing annually over 30,
000,000 tons of beoti from which 3,000,
000 tons of beet sugar are made, which
Is over one-half of the sugar crop of the
world. The sugar beet has made Ger
many the foremost sugar producing
country in the world, her product in
180102 being 1,280,000 tons, groat quan
tities of which are shipped to foreixn
countries.
In California there are three factories
for the manufacture of beet sugar in
profitable operation. Any soil that will
grow wheat successfully will give a
good crop of beets with a high percent
age of sugar. It is the opinion of ex
perts that the Willamette, Umpqua and
Kogue river valleys are by climatic con
ditions better suited to sugar beet culti
vation than any part of Germany, and
equal if not superior to the south of
France.
, For successful cultivation of the sugar
lieet, the soil should be plowed deeply
both In fall and spring, well drained,
and put in the mellow, pulverized state
of a garden plot. The beets should not
attain a weight of more than two
pounds, and therefore the plants should
not stand further apart in the row than
four to six inches. A Intel which grows
out of the ground Is worthless for sugar.
About 20 pounds of seed to the acre
should be planted, not later than April,
if possible. Experiments in Oregon on
a small scale have resulted in a yield ol
about 20 tons per acre with a percentage
of sugar of about 14 per cent. The cost
of sugar beet raiting can be best told by
the following statement from A. F.
Richardson, grower in California, in
1880, having 11 acres in cultivation :

In Europe ample experience has
proven that it is better for land to be in
sugar beets than to lie Idle In summer
allow. As a crop of rotation, I. e. every
third year, it baa made lands more pro
ductiye and at the same time more prof
itable, and has never been a failure
where properly cultivated.
The cost of manufacturing one ion of
beets into sugar at Oregon City, if the
- works that it is the Intention of capital-
lata to build here to be rulf by electric
power, have a capacity of 400 tons of
beets every 21 hours, would be (8 per
ton. If the average percentage of sugar
contained was 12, 300 tons of beets were
consumed in a day, and the granulated
sugar sold at the factory at 3J,' cents or
(75 per ton, the product of -a day's run
would yield (2700, and as the cost
would be (2400, the net daily profit
would be (300. Assuming that the
sugar "campaign" or season here would
be only 150 days, the profit per year
would be (45,100. It is estimated, from
the cost of factories elsewhere, that
a factory near the Tualatin at Willam
ette Falls, ready for operation, would
cost (300,000, and the profit would
therefore pay 15 per cent, on the invest
ment. Oregon consumes approximately 20,
000,000 pounds of sugar per annum, and
two factories of the capacity indicated,
in our slate, would hardly supply her
saccharine wants. Under the necessary
rotation the two factories would require
24,000 acres of land. Now that our
wheat market is down and the sugar
trust Is boss of the United States sen
ate, the Pacific states owe themselves
the duty of protecting themselves by
raising their own sweets. We can io
it and prosper as well as we ever did,
and ship sugar, too, to China and the
"ends of the earth."
TIIK WIIXA T MARKKT.
According to the American AgrieuU
lurist, the Argentine is one year with
another but an iimignlfluant rival in the
world's wheat market. It maintains
that its whole wheat area equals only
two such states as Kansas ; that Its wheat
belt has a climate as capricious as that
of Kansas, and destructive drouths are
common, and that Argentina did not
begin wheat exportation last year as
780,000 bushels were exported in 1870;
that the exports of 1887 aggregated
0,000,000 bushels,and those of 1800 aggre
gated 12,500,000 busheU, while the ex
ports of 1803 were some 33,000,000 bush
elt Instead of the staled 2),000,000. While
there is annually a material percentage
added to the acreage of Argentina, it
does not equal one-third the additions
yearly ma le to the world's wheat re
quirements. The additions made to the
wheat areas of Argentina, Uruguay and
the Halkan Status have long been offset
by reductions in Western Europe and
the United States. This is made mani
fest by the incontestible fact that the
wheat acreage of the world in 1803 was
but 100,000 acres, or barely five-hun-
dredths of one per cent., greater than in
1884, while in 1804 It Is probably one or
two million acres less than ten years
since, because ol reductions in uie
United States that exceed the additions
made elsewhere.
Wheat is low becauso the world liaa a
surplus acreage of quite 0,000,000 in
1880, permitting the accumulation of
great stores from the extraordinary
crops of 1882 and 1884 that sufficed, with
the product of an acreage that continued
in excess uu until 1887, to carry the
world safely to the end of the 1800-01
harvest vear. when consumption had
overtaken production, and remunerative
prices wo uld then have come to stay,
hut fur the phenomenal crop In the
Argentine in 1802-03, and the euorin ius
acreage yields of the fields of the United
States in 1801 and 1802-j ields that
enabled us to thro upon the world's
markets at least 370 million more buah
els than ws could had those ciops been
but average ones. The world's crops of
1801 and 1802 were 300,000,000 bushels
in excess of the two preceding ones, the
excess being nearly in the measure of
our extraordinary contributions to the
world's supplies.
But for the extraordinary acreage
yields from American fields in 1801 and
1802, the acreage deficit in the worlds
wheat area, now equalling 10,000.000
acres, would long since nave uroiigm
good prices for wheat and carried up the
prices of all other grain, as the bread-
eating people have increased 00,000,000
since the world's wheat area ceased to
expand. Moreover, the world's area
under all grains of the temperate zones
has increased but 12.200,000 acres in ten
years, while the increase of population
indicates an increase of nearly six
times that amount. In other words,
the bread eating populations hive, since
1884, increased more than five times as
lust as the food-producing areas, and
but for an excessive acreage in 1884,
scarcity and high prices would have
long since ensued.
There is a brighter future ahead.

regard to the issue by the government

truth in thi matter, copied from an ex
change :
On July 17, 1801, congress passed an
act authorizing the issue of (50,000,000
of demand treasury notes, in denomina
tions of not less than (10. This was
amended by act of August fi, 1801, so as
to allow (5 notes to be issued. These
notes bore no interest, and were redeem
able on demand. Thev were not luiral
tender for debts, but were receivable for
all public dues. They were not green
backs, and are not to be confused with
greenback issues. The full ('0,000,000
were issued, and IO,OOO,0U0 additional
authorized by act of February 12, 1802.
They soon went out of circulation, it
they were receivable for customs, and
hence were equivalent to gold, which
went to a premium in December, 1801,
The demand notes dilTered in three
particulars from greenbacks, via.:
Greenbacks have no time fixed for
redemption; these demand notes
were redeemable on demand. Green
backs are a legal tender by law ; the
demand notes were not. Greenbacks
can be refused in payment of duties:
demand notes were receivable for them.

It has finally dawned upon the ju

by which means Ezra Durand swindled
a number In this county, is in iisun
worthless and cannqt equitably be col
lected by legul process. Several yeurs
ago (armors of western New Vork were
swindled bv dealers in a new kind of
oals. Thousands of dollars were signed
away to these unscrupulous men, who
at once disposed of the paper to banks
and note-shavers under cover of the
"innocent purchaser" ruling. When
collection was attempted makers ( the
notes made a fight. Lower courts,
banking upon precedent, held flint the
notes Bhould be paid. In the Court of
Appeals, however, equity, rather than
precedent, prevailed. Decision was
rendered holding that to fraudulently
procure negotiable paper was ohly half
the crime; that the other necessary
thing was to find a purchaser who would
buy without making inquiry. To pur
chase paper In this manner wai held to
be a participation in the fraud and all
the n jtes were declared void. There is
something promising in these examples
of courts breaking away from the pre

natures of responsible makers are ap
pended to fraudulent papers.

lU Causes In llorseaand Mulea-
ud rrev.ntlves.
Bulletin No. 25 from tho ugricullurul
college of Mississippi by Dr. Tuit Butler
treats of the cause and remedies of colic
in horses and mules. Its chief Hiints are
the following:
Nineteen out of every twenty cases of
colio are chargeable to irregularity in
food or water. The rules for watering
are:
Use only pure wuter.
Water before feeding.
Wuter frequently (from three to five
times daily).
Never give a lurge quantity at one
time, especially if tho unimul is very
warm or about to undergo severe exer
tion.
The quality and quantity of food and
the regularity with which it is given are
of the greatest importance. Outs are the
best gruin for horses or mules, though
corn is more commonly used in this
stute and is a good food if used with ditt-
cretion. Oats are better because they
are more easily digested and possess the
essential constituents of a good food in
better proportions, and therefore, by
throwing less work on tho digestive or
guns, are less liuble to cause indigestion
and colic. They should be dry, clean
and free from must. If cut before they
are too ripe, their vuluo is greatly en
bunced. While corn is a fruitful cause
of colic, yet it Is a good food for working
stock, but should bo fed with caution.
Outs and com may be fed whole to a
grown horse while his teeth remain good,
but for colts and old horses they are bet
ter if ground. Bran, linseed meal, etc.,
if fed in small quantities and with other
foods, are beneficial in keeping the bow
els loose and in good condition. Almost
any of the varieties of hay in common
use muy be fed with safety if they are
cut before becoming too ripe, are well
cured and free from mold. New buy
should never be fed to working stock, as
it is very apt to cause derangement of
digestion, und so cause colic. The quan
tity of food to bo given must depend
largely upon the amount of work re
quired from the animal and his Individ
ual peculiarities. From four to eight
quarts of outs, or from 8 to 13 ears of
corn two or three times daily are about
the proper limits. The quantity of hay
required is usually from 10 to 20 pounds
daily. - '
If a horse is required to do more work
than usual ou a given day, it is a com
mon custom to give him more food. This
is a greut mistake. Owing to the fatigue
consequent to the increased exertion, the
animal is less able to digest a lurge feed
and therefore should be fed less instead
of more. Again, it is decidedly im
proper to give a horse a large feed, espe
cially of corn, immediately after under
going severe exercise. If a large feed
be given immediately before active ex
ercise, the blood which is required by the
digestive organs in order to curry on
their proper functions goes to the mus
cular system, digestion is impaired, and
colic is a possible result. If a large feed
be given immediately after active or
prolonged exercise, the animal is weak,
and the blood is drawn upon largely for
the rebuilding of the muscular waste,
and the digestive organs suffer accord
ingly. A change of food should be made with
caution. If a change must lie made, a
smaller quantity of the new food should
bo given for several days, and the
amount increased gradually. In no case
snould a change of food and work be
made at the same time. A good rule is,
never give a borse a full feed on a change
of work, nor full work on a change of
feed.
Instead of feeding a large number of
mules together, giving the grain in large
quantities nnd using foul water und
that only wneu convenient, as is the
common practice if the following meth
od be pursued the great loss of mules by
colio now experienced by Mississippi
planters would be reduced at least three-
fourths: The mule should be watered
and then fed nt least one hour before go
ing to work in the morning. In the mid
dle of a long forenoon lie should again
have water. At noon he should be first
watered and then allowed to eat hay for
a short time before receiving his gruin,
which should be giveu him at least one
hour before he is again put to work.
In the middle cf the afternoon he
should be watered again, and in the
evening his grain should not be giveu
him until he has first been watered and
allowed to eat hay for at least an hour.
Tho trouble and loss of time required to
water working animals in the middle of
the forenoon and afternoon muy in some
cases render it impracticable, but fre
quent watering will lx found advan
tageous to the stock in all cases and a
powerful factor in the prevention of
colic.
So long as tho animal will drink it no
water is considered too foul for either
horses or mules. Not only is this neglect
on the part of stock owners responsible
for many cases of colic, but uiunv other
diseases also are directly traceable to im
pure water. An unlimited supply of good
pure water is essential to the health of
all animals used for farm work. Pools
formed from surface drainage where
large quantities of organic matter are
carried into them, and wells or pools
Contiguous to barnyards or manure heaps,
are especially to be avoided.
Sudden changes of teiiiieratnre, un
duly severe exertion, parasites (worms,
etc.) in the intestines and feeding; on
green grass when the animal is not ac
customed to it are frequent ennsm of
colic.

Good Hotter In Warm Weather.
Tho question often arises how cream
should bo bundled during warm weather
to get tho best results with the butter.
It must be remembered that correct
flavor scores CO points, and here Is where
the most important work is done. Ev
ery day's cream must be made a special
study. The observant butter maker will
notice throe very marked stages in the
ripening of cream viz, a flat ncid,
sharp acid and a sour acid. The first
acid has a flat, insipid taste, with very
little odor. At tins stage the cream
should be thoroughly stirred, getting the
air through it as much as possible. With
the gradual thickening of the cream
there approaches the borderland of the
second stage, of acid.
Now the skill of the butter maker is
put to the test. He must so develop the
acid and regulate the temperature that
his ideal churning point is reached and
have the cream in the churn and under
motion within 13 minutes after he en
ters the creamery in the morning. No
exact rule can bo lnid down for every
man to work by. The danger now lies
in overripeiung, not in too little. What
is wanted is a rich, heavy, smooth cream,
but not to the third stage where it has a
disagreeable taste, forming in small
chunks and showing whey around the
sides.
The market reports say a great deal of
butter lacks body and shows hot water.
Remember that the body of butter is in
the hands of the butter maker. Cool
cream cool churns, coin water, well
cooled worker and tubs, haste in wash
ing and handling, exposing the butter to
the warm air as little as possible, then a
cold cooler. .The dairyman who has
plenty of ice and water and a good room
n which to keep the milk aud who
knows how .to use the ice properly Is
the man who is going to succeed in fur
nishing the best butter to the market.
By careful study uuy duirymun can ac
quire this knowledge, and then the ex
ercise of it does the business. Exchange.

Dairy aud Creamery.
Cows and heifers naturally and nor
mally come in heat every third week.
If a cow has the beef temperament in
Bteiul of the milk temperament, the more
you feed her the fatter she will get and
often actually shrink in milk as she lays
on beef.
Whatever else you skin on your trip
to the World's fair do not omit to visit
the beautiful barns of the Guernsey and
Jersey cows. They are finer quarters
than some cow milkers have for them
selves. During the cold weather the
brans were heated by stoves. The walls
aro built of tightly ceiled boards, and
the buildings aro lighted by electricity.
Nothing is too rich for the Jersey and
Guernsey blood.
Let the trade in bottled cream increase,
In summer when butter is down and ice
cream is in demand a profitable use for
the surplus cream can be found here,
Bottled cream is healthful and delicious.
Creamery men should find out how to
sterilize it; then it will be a grand go.
Pigs and chickens will nso np all the
Bkimmilk.
The oleomargarine monster is still
rearing his greasy head in various parts
of the Union. He slimes over newspaper
correspondents at Washington and en
tices them into publishing as news, i
great puff of the hog butter, telling all
his readers how clean it is, how whole
some ami now nmcii Hotter than average
dairy butter. This trick was playei
during tne past winter.
Here is the Borden milk condensery'l
eleventh commandment: "Thou shiilt
love thy neighbor as thyself and keep
tny Minilnys milk at home to make
sweet butter for thy family, and that the
milk factory and all who labor therein
may rest and the employees may wor
ship according to the dictates of con
science every Sunday."
lleet and Poultry,
Crowding fowls into close quarters
will breed thonsauds of lice, but precious
few chicks, remember.
Stoddard says to utilize the feathers of
the ducks, chickens aud turkeys gener
ally thrown aside as refuse, trim the
plume from the stump, inclose them in
tight bag, nib the whole as if washing
clothes, and yon will secure a perfectly
uniform and light down, excellent for
quilting coverlets and not a few other
purposes.
According to The .American Bee Jour
nal, shade cannot be relied on to prevent
swarming, but it has a tendency in that
direction, a colony in the ojien sun being
more likely to swarm than one in a dense
hade, and swarming sooner in the warm
location.
As soon as chicks leave the hen they
should have a place tu feed unmolested.

From the Boston Post.
While the walks in the Publie Garden
' were crowded yesterday afternoon about
4.30 o'clock, people near the entrance gntes
ut the corner of Beacon and Charles street
were horrified to see a man suddenly plunge
a knife repeatedly into his throat and fall tu
the ground.
W bile waiting for a conveyance an officer
questioned the would-be suicide, who was
about 60 years of age, as to his name, addresH,
and reason for wishing to end his life, but
tiie man steadfastly refused to give any infor
mation regarding himself. He was Liken to
the Massachusetts Genera Hospital and
surgical attendance given him. AJtliough
, wenk from Iobs or blood it is nrotiauie ne
! will recover. About 9 o'clock last night a
hospital attendant got a little iuforiimtion
from him. He said his name was Samuel
D , and that he came some weeks ago
from New Brunswick. The last few day
his head hai felt queer, and he has been wan
dering about the city, not knowing which wuy
to turn. What impelled him to commit Jits
rush act he was unable to say.
The above is the familiar but terrible
story oi the results of menlalderangemeiit
caused by overstrain of the tier ous system.
People who have dizdnest, Inuducheftt bnik
aehe, or who are troubled with neuncioy or
despondent feelings, are already well on the
road which leads to insanity and tuic'ulr,.
