"Play with the children!" was the

heart young, your viewpoint fresh,
your wit sparkling. The child heart is
at once the purest and tho happiest
in all nature; tho child tongue Is a

Something of this lndulbtable power j

In the United States there are lift'
seven sugar beet factories working
three months each year, grinding,
boiling and squeezing (he sugar out
of nearly forty thousand tons of beets
every working day, but this does not
near All our wants. These facts ought
to be encouraging to beet-growers.
Thorough cultivation is an import
ant factor in producing good sugar
beets. It is a common saying among
Germans that "the sugar must be
hoed into tho beet."
In na time of its life should a su-
gar beet be allowed to stop growing
for if It once becomes stunted It ,is
doubtful whether it will ever make
as good a beet as it would have been
under conditions of continuous
growth.
Another way the beet has been Im-
prove.] is by Increasing its sugar con-
tent. This has been done without in
creasing the size of the beet.
If a largely increased yield of boots
is combined with a much higher su-
gar content It is entirely possible to
obtain three times as much sugar per
aire its Is i IT 1 n ' d l !i .ill : e l in; i at

The farmer when buyiug commer-

The dealer or local merchant's suc-
cess depends on the agricultural pro-
ducts of a community, and it is to his
Interests, as well as to the farmer's,
to produce as heavy a yield, of as
good a quality as possible.
The farmer should in.i! • a study of
fertilizers, famlliariz him- If with
what Constitutes the I t valu< aid
when ho demands a fertilizer of this
kind from the dealer, the litter will
be compelled to disregard mere finan-
cial gain and to study the agricultural
value of fertilizers for the benefit of
his customers and buy fertilizers only
from those concerns manufacturing
The present average yield of beets [
per acre in tills country is about 10
tons, and the percentage of sugar ac
tuaily extracted and refined does not
exceed 12, making the average yield
of sugar per acre approximately j.IOO
pounds.
Yields of more than tons of beats :
per acre are sometimes obtained, and
yields of more than 20 tons are com
mon.
From 20 to 25 per cent of the su-
gar in tho beets lias bene reported
so frequently that It Is safe to assume
that an average sugar content uf is
per cent., is within the limits of possi- ;
bllity.
If an average yield of 20 tons per
acre and an average sugar content
of IS per cent could be reached, we
would have an average yield of 7,209
pounds of sugar per acre.
Clay loams are very satisfactory for
sugar-beet production, provided oth"r
conditions are. favorable; but more
depends upon the physical 'oniiitien
oi the soil antl upon methods of cul-
tivation than upon tin particular
kind or variety of soil ti. ed. The
soil, however, should be we'l supplied
with humus and well drained.

which of the two is the most econom-

might show as good analysis on paper

dried blood, tankage, nitrate of soda,
sulphate of ammonia and high-grade
potash salts, but the agricultural value
of the latter would be far superior to
that of the former. The price of the
two fertilizers made as suggested

Clever Joke of Kind King.
King Kdwanl' i great nature was Il-
lustrated the other night by a I-ondon
correspondent at the Pres^ aiub lu
New York
"The king," said the correspondent
"was visiting Ruff ord Abbey, and ore
morning, In company with his host,
Lord Arthur Savile, he took a walk
over the preserves.
"Suddenly Lord Arthur, a big burly
man, rushed forward and seized a
shabby fellow with a dead pheasant
pro!railing from the breast of bin coat.
" 'Sir,' said Lord Arthur to the king,
"this fellow Is a bad egg. This is the
second timo I've ca ight him poaching'
"But the king's handsome face
beamed, and he laughed his gay and
tolerant laugh.
"'Oh, let him go.' he said. If he
really were a had egg. you know, lie
wouldn't poach'"
