THE BEET INDUSTRY. Prof. Massey'a Report Upon His Observations in Nebraska. Prof. W. F. Mnssey, who with Con gressman S. B. Alexander, recently made a trip to the West to observe the sugar beet industry with a view to its possible cultivation for the production of sugar in this State has made the following report: To Ilis Excellenoy Elias Carr, Govern or of North Carolina: , Having been requested by you to be one of a committee to go to Nebraska for the purpose of investigating the oondition there of the culture of the sugar beet and the manufacture of sugar therefrom, and having performed to the best of my ability the duty placed upon me I beg leave to submit a state ment in regard to this trip. It may be proper here to state that the op portunity to make this investigation was afforded without any expense to the State or myself by gentlemen who are interested in the development of the sugar beet industry in the South. The gentlemen engaged in this enter prise wish to go to work intelligently and make sure of success before invest ing large capital in the enterprise. They therefore desired that some one interested in the agricultural develop ment of the State and the South should carefully investigate what has been done, and is being done elsewhere, so as to fully understand the conditions necessary for success. Hon. S. B. Alexander, of Charlotte, and the writer constituted this committee, the latter going by your request. It should be stated at the outset that the j man ufacture of the sugar beet has only of late years become possible even r with the encouragement of a bounty. Years ogo, tests made in North Caro lina showed the beets to contain a per centnge of sugar inadequate to its pro fitable manufacture under conditions prevailing in this country, and its pro duction was only possible in counties like Franco and Germany, 'with a surplus of cheap labor. But owiDg to the pereistent and intelligent labors of German and French seed growers, and ,the investigations of German scientists the saccharine quality of the beet has been steadily developed until its per centage of sngar rivals that of the sugar cane. This has been accomplished by a careful election, by means of Pol ariscope tests of beets for seed growing gradually raising the standard from year to year until the sugar beet of today stands in the same relation to that of fiften years ago, that the thoroughbred horse does to the scrub. A good ancestry is as valuable in a plant as a pedigee in a horso. Hor ticulturists understand this just as well as horsebreeders. This process of selection and breeding is still kept up by careful growers and still further improvement in the beet will doubtless be made. Not only has the general saccharine quality of the ' beet been thus improved, but several strains or breeds have been produced specially adapted to certain soils, one reaching it beet on sandy soils, another on clay, etc., etc. So that now growers can select seed bred specially for the needs of their peculiar soil. Whether this process of development can be carried further in our. climate or whether, as in the case of some other seeds, we must depend upon foreign But the indications are that an equally intelligent course of culture here will give fully as good result in the seedl product, and in time we may produce seed that for our purpose will be even better than that now inported. With the great future development of the sugar industry which seems assured iD this country, our intelligent and enter prising seed growers may be depended upon to do their part in the work of improvement. The progress of the Sugar Beet industry and the manu facture of the sugar has been more rapid than most persons imagine. A few years ago the larger part of the sugar of commerce was the product of the sugar cane. Today this is already reversed and the larger part is pro duced by the Sngar Beet. In 1880 we produced 375 tops of Beet Sugar. The crop or output for the present season is estimated to be not less than 25.000 tons. Still the increase in the demand is such that we still produce but about one-tenth of the sugar consumed in our country. The development of the Sugar Beet industry has ben largely due to the encouragement txmnty of 2 cents per pound. While the bounty is more directly beneficial to the man ufacturer, it is lighter tax on the con sumer than a tariff would be for the tariff would increase the price of every pound used, while the bounty only ia paid on that produced in this country. In this shape it encourages an agricul tural product, and if 'we must have "protection. "some from thai wuli help the farmer is desirable. With a variety of soils ispnble of producing the beetingreat perfection, it behooves onr people to be looking into this matter. There are now in operation a number of beet sugar factories, where great sums have been exf)MrIeJ in educating the farmers in the culture of the beet, and in ex perimental work of various kinds. Only of late have these great expenditures begun to reward the energetic pro prietors of these works, and, as they gain experience, the farmers supplying the factories are getting more iro,fit out of the culture. The peculiarity of the Sugar Beet industry lies in the fact that success to the manufacturer means success to the grower of the beets, for the factory is entirely de pendent upon the farmer. If the far mer cannot find profit in the culture the factory cannot get supplies, so that it is essential to the success of the factory that the culture should pay the grower, upon whom they depend for their raw material. The factory must . have supplies and must therefore con - tract to take tho crops at an agreed upon price, so that tho grower is sure of his- market before he plants the crop and knows that no gambling in futures can affect the price while ho is pro ducing it. Each year's experience puts him in a better position to con tract for the coming year. This mutual dependence of manufacturer and pro ducer will always insure a reasonably fair division of profits. The manu facturer, with half a million or more invested in a plant that can be run but for a few weeks or months annually, must be sure of his supply, and the farmer, learning by experience the price that will pay him, haa the whip handle, and no extortion can be practiced. The factory we visited is the Nor folk Beet Sugar Factory, located at Norfolk on the north fork of the Elk horn river in Nebraska, on the railroad leading from Fremont on the Platte to the Black Hills of Dakota. The same company owns also a factory at Grand Island on the Platte river, which wr did hot have time to visit. They also run two factories in California. The business, after many discouragements and a liberal expenditure, is now ii Nebraska, but we understand that the California factories are much mon profitable owing to the longer season for planting and manufacture. Thf great drawbacks to the business in Newbrafika arc the lack of labor and the short season for working up the crop. Farmers are deterred from planting large areas because of the im possibility of getting abundant help at thinning time. Both of these difficul ties would be obviated in a Southern latitude. So far as I could observe, the culture is almost identical with that of cotton, except that deeper breaking is necessary for the beets. Our Southern farm hands, accustomed to chopping out and thinning cotton, would find the chopping out and thin ning the beets almost identical, and the abundance of this class of labor in the South would admit of beet culture on a larger scale than an Nebraska. Then too we could begin to sow earlier in spring, and by a succession of crops, could keep the factory running twice as long as there. We drove i"Sto thfe country around Norfolk, Nebraska, and talked with a quite a number of the farmers. They are generally an ignorant class of German immigrants, but they all agree that the beet crop is the most profitable one they raise. The only other crops are corn and prairie hay, and though they raise large corn crops the price, 20 to 25 cents per bushel, renders it necessary . that they turn it into beef and pork to get any profit out of it. From a number of these growers I ascertained that their average gross receipts are about $50.00 per Acre for the beets. The factory pays a uniform price of $5.00 per ton and the average yield is 10 to 12 tons per acre, though there are instances of 30 or more tons being raised. One grower in California is said to have raised 37 tons per acre, the largest yield known. Too large a beet is not wanted, one the size of a email or medium pine apple being as large as desired. In California the price runs as high as SO. 50 per ton, the practice there being to pay according to the saccharine quality of the beet as ascertained by the Polariscope. But owing to the less intelligent character of the Ne braska grower it has been found neces sary to fix an average price for all. The greatest care is used in getting seeil from beets of good pedigree, the best seed growers in Europe always testing by the Polariscope every beet planted for seed, and rejecting all that falls below standard in quality. The manufacturers annually send an agent to Europe to select seed for the next crop, and buy no beets but those grown from seed thus selected for various soils. This is more essential where the average price prevails, than when each grower is responsible for the quality of hiscrop. An experienc ed buyer is already in Europe select ing seed for the crop of 1894, and con tracts are now being made with thb farmers for next year. Every one with whom we conversed has incresned his planting annually and all propose to put in a larger area next year though the factory has nearly reacted its full capacity for that climate. This is of itself a sufficient indication of tbe value of the crop to the grower, wbo all seem enthusiastic on the subject. We were liardly prepared for the ex tent of tbe manufacture, much as we had hetrd of it. The Norfolk Beet Sugar Company has a plant which we were informed cost $300,000, and from the extent of the massive brick build ings, and the array of complicated machinery we could well believe the statement. They say that they would not build another so email. Thi company expected to turn oat' this season over three million pounds of granulated white sugar. I file with this a sample of this sugar, which was made in twelve hours from the raw beets. The process used is a diffusion process. The beets are carried ' from the soils, or covered pits between the railroad tracks, through cemented sluices, through which a stream of water rushes, to an opening in the wall of the building, where an Ar chimedean screw elevates them to the washer, which is alougtrough, through the centre of which a shaft revolves on which is a special line of wooden pins, which agitate the beets in water, and at the same time carry them to the further end of the trough, where an elevator takes thexn to the top story of the building. Here they are . caught in a receiver similar to a cart body, which dump when full, and at the same time registers the weights of the beets. They are received in the pulper, where a series of grooved knives on a shaft slices them into shreds finer than ft goose quill. The pulp passes into a series of fourteen tall cylinders, which constitute the diffusion battery. Here, warm water is passed repeatedly through each cylinder in succession until the water has taken up all but a trace of the saccharine matter. This dense water is now boiled in evapo ratea mixed with milk of lime to a certain point where it is injected with carbon di-oxide, w hich precipitates the lime. The clear liquid is then drawn off and passed through a series of filters to still further clear it of im purities. It then passes to the vaccum pans, where it is boiled in vacuo at a low temperature to the point of perfect cryetalization. The mass of crystalized flugar and syrup is then . run into a series of centrifugal machines, operat ing on tho same principle as a cream separator, where the molasses is thrown off and the pure white eryctal sugar ia retained. Each charge of a centrifugal is emptied, as finished, into a trough through which a screw scraper revolves which conveys the sugar to and through the heated drying cylinder, from which it pours out the fine granulated sugar of commerce. It is now weighed, 100 pounds in a bag, and each bag is branded and numbered by the govern ment inspector for the bounty. Theun cry stalized liquid thrown off by the cen trifugals is as yet an entirely waste product, though it could doubtless be ivaporated into goqdsyruij. Tfee pulp, after being emptied frorri'the diffusion battery, is sold to cattle feeders at 25 cents per ton, but would be worth a great deal more here. We saw 1,000 steers being fattened with this pulp and corn meal. The cattle eat it greedily and their condition shows it to be a nutritive food. Another pro duct now entirely wasted in Nebraska, but which would be of great value here is the potash and lime cake, col lected in the purifying proces. This contains all the potash and mineral matter removed from the beets, and the lime used in the work. This must be a valuable fertilizer, but the Ne braska farmers cannot be induced to haul it away, though I feel sure that is just what their black sandy soil needs. The average product of sugar at this factory is stated to be 165 to 170 pounds per ton of beets, and as the careful breeding up of the beets is continued the product may be expect ed to increase. The owners of the Ne braska factories, who are experienced sugar makers from Louisiana, are en thusiastic over the beet, and believe that in time it will entirely supplant the cane for sugar making. There ia an abundant capital now ready to em bark in this industry in the South, which only awaits the determination of the question as to what points are most favorable for the industry, and where the beets can be grown in quan tity to pay the farmer and quality lo pay the manufacturer. To determine this, it ia proposed to place selected seed in the hands of careful men in va rious sectiojus, under, intelligent, sifc. pervision, so as to test accurately the production and quality of the beets. There will be no broadcast scatttering of seed to all applicants, 6ince expe rience has shown that no accurate re sults can be had in this way. But the tests will be made with care and scien tific accuracy the coming season, and the probabilities are that North Caro lina may secure one" or more of the proposed factories. We think every encouragement should be given the enterprise, and that it will open up for our people a source of agricultural profit as yet hardly conceivable. Respectfully submitted, W. F. Masset. NATIONAL AGRICULTURE. Secretary Morton Submits his Report to the' President. Washington, D. C. The Secretary of Agriculture, in his report just sub mitted to the President, reviewing with some detail our agricultural ex ports and their destination, makes an earnest plea for tho diversification of agricultural exports and the widening of foreign markets therefor. "We want free entrance to all the countries of the globe which it is in our power to supply with any product the varied soil and climate of this vaet country will enable us to grow at a profit," Reference to the immense aggregate of imports of agricultural products, suggests the inquiry: Ought not a large proportion of these to be pro duced upon our own soil in proximity to our own markets where this im mense, demand exists? And the reply is in the affirmative. "Hides, fruits, nuts and wines," says the Sec retary, could all be produced in this country," so with a considerable share of fibres, tobacco and sugar. Our farmers would be benefitted and a large number of subsidiary crops, the overproduction of certain staples avoided, the variety of our agricul tural supplies in foreign markets in creased, and the markets themselves multiplied. All persons engaged in the work of agricultural education and experiment are enjoined to hold stead ily in view the inexorable economic facts affecting the production and dis posal of agricultural products. Amer ican farmers must produce what the world wants. That the relation of supply and demand is the sole regula tor of value, that it applies equally to the products of the farm and of the factory, "ought to be engraved upon the memory and reflected in the judg ment and plans of every farmer in the Union." Concluding his report Secretary Morton says "that there are in the United Stages more than 6,000,000 farms upon which dwell more than 30, 000,000 people who furnish more than 7i per cent of the value of the exports of this country. The department is, therefore, he argues, intended to .-be charged with responsibility and duties touching interests intimately affecting the life, property and happiness of the whole "people. As no edifice, however symmetrical and perfect its- super structure, can endure except the foun dations be solidly laid, so everybody knows that the successful perpetuation of the industrial activities of the American people is based and possible only upon an intelligent and fecund agriculture. Two Kings in Chicago. There are two young African kings living in Chicago. The elder of the two has a long African name, which he has Americanized into A. B. Jcwett. His native domain is the islanVi of Sherbro, off the coast of Sierra L.eone. Prince Jowett has sacrificed his king dom for Christianity, but it is his in tention to return to Africa with his kingly neighbor and reclaim his own land, and together they will forma federation and spread the gospel by degrees. Prince Jowett has been in America for some time, and has a good education. The other is Momolu Mas saquoi, king of Jabacca, and heredita ry prince of ten tribes. King Massa quoi is quite a young man, but well educated. He is ,the eldest son of Queen Sandi Mannie, late ruler of Ja bacca and the head wife of King Lahal. An Aged Bishop Dead. Columbia, S. C. Information was received by Bishop Salter, of the A. M. E. Church, of the death of Daniel A. Payne, at Wiberforce, Ohio, senior Bishop of that church, and one of the oldest active- Bishops in the world. He was 90 years old at the time of his death.. He was origi nally from Charleston, S. C. Memori al services in his honor will be held by the A. M. E. churches probably on Sunday. Bishop Salter has gone on to the funeral. The Mahometans have a great nni ersity at Fez, which is attended by 7U0 students. I WISE WORDS. Th highest friendship must always lead us to the highest pleasure. Tou, who forget your own friends, meanly to follow after these of a high er degree, are a snob. To be of noble parentage and not to be endowed with noble qualities is rather a defamation than a glory. Gentle words, quiet words, are, after all, the most powerful words. They are more convincing, more compelling, more prevailing. Charity and good nature give a sanction to the most common actions ; and pride and ill nature make our best virtues despicable. A noble life, crowned with heroic death, rises above and outlives the pride and pomp and glory of the mightiest empire of the earth. It is astonishing how soon the whole conscience begins to unravel if a single stitch drops ; one little sin indulged makes a hole you could put your head through. What is death but a ceasing to be what we were before? We are kindled and put out, we die daily. Nature that begot ua expels us, and a better and a safer plaoe is provided for us. Woman is the highest, holiest, most precious gift to man. . Her mission and throne is the family, and if anything is withheld that would make her more efficient,' useful or happy in that sphere she is wronged and has not her rights. Power ilIiat&-Jicatethelest hearts, as wine the strongest heads. No man is wise enough, nor good enough, to be trusted with unlimited power ; for, whatever qualifications he may have evinced to entitle him to the posses sion of so dangerous a privilege, yet when possessed, others can no longei answer for him," because he caa no longer answer for himself. Hon an Electric Shock Feels. Edison's Orange laboratory, despite its pastoral surroundings and the pa cifio nature of its habitues, has been the scene of some grewsome experi ments. When the new law was passed enlisting electricity as an agent of death Mr. Edison was consulted as to the best method of applying that mys terious and deadly fluid, and in the experiments made by him to test the comparative action of different cur re'nts at various intensities, many pain ful animal executions were necessary. Mr. Edison's most valuable friend and assistant, Charles . Bachelor, barely evaded the distinction of officiating as a sacrifice on the altar of experimental science. He was mending some de fective apparatus in connection with a lamp, and, as it seemed to him at the time, had taken all imaginary pre cautions against an accident. He sup poses, however, from the presence of a burn afterward found on one of his fingers, that he must unconsciously have established a circuit by holding a wire in each hand. No sooner had he made tha contact than he staggered back to a etool. with the awful memory of soul and body wrenched violently asunder, with such pangs as the Mo hammedan death angels wreak on the awakening spirits of the damned. He describes it as resembling the sensa tion's of an immense rough file thrust through the quivering fibers of the body, a shuddering, rasping pang, grinding its way through lungs and heart. For over fifteen minutes ho sat motionless, bathed in an icy and deathlike sweat, and nervously un strung from head to foot. Yet, strange to say, the shock passed away in a day or two, leaving no visible injury el cept in th6 memory of the victim. Cassiex's Magazine. A Rawhide Cannon. A Syracuse man named La Tulip, has invented a cannon known as the La Tulip rawhide gun, of which great things are expected. One of the guns, made by its inventor, was tested at Onondaga Valley. It weighn in tha neighborhood of 400 pounds, while the cannon of the same calibre in use by the army weighs nearly 1500. Its pe culiarity lies in its lightness and the easy manner in which it can be trans ported. Across the breech it measures about fourteon inches, and tapers to about six at the muzzle. A forged steel cone forming the barrel runs to the full length, and is only three-quarters of an inch in thickness. Then comes layer after layer of the finest rawhide, compressed until it has the strength of steel. In fact, its toughness and staying powers are said to exceed steel. The rawhide is put on in strips coiled around and around, and is several inches in thickness. On top of this lie two coils of steel wire wound lo its strong est tension and then filed smooth. The cap placed at the breech can be easily removed for inspection of the rawhide filling. The tests were pronounced successful, and further trials will be had. A five-inch bore will be con structed as,aoon as possible, and when mounted upon a movable carriage jit will then demonstrate whether it can be used effectively. The five-inch camnon will be smooth bore and used to discharge dynamite cartridges, a trial of which will be made. Freder ick La Tulip, the inventor, has been a worker of rawhide for twelve years and is conversant with it in every detail. Rome (N..Y.) Sentinel. Not Prepared For a Snap Shot. A characteristic little story comes from the scenes of the recent land rush in Oklahoma. One of the heroines of the occasion was Miss Mabel Gentry, of Neosho County, Kansas. She was the seventh to seize a claim, riding on a spirited pony. She was armed with a revolver and a lunch basket, and was prepared to guard her claim as long as it was- necessary. But when an enterprising newspaper correspond ent asked leave to take her photo graph she promptly demurred on the ground that she ."was looking like a fright." Detroit Free Press.

The heroism of a servant girl saved a span of valuable horses for John Moser, of Perkiomenville. The large barn on the farm was set on fire, and the men, when they discovered the flames, feared to enter the stables to release the horses and four head of cattle. The daring girl, however, dashed into the burning building and freed tho plunging horses and was burned on the hands and face, though not seriously. She was greatly cheered by tho men who watched the brave deed. The barn was destroyed. Phila delphia Record. Tall Mall Was a blame".

Royal Baking Powder has all the Honors In Strength and Value 20 per cent, above Its Nearest Com petitor: The Royal Baking Powder has the enviable record of having received the highest award for articles of its class -greatest Btr(igth, purest ingre dients, most perfectly combined wherever exhibited in competion with others. In the exhibitions of- former years, at the Centennial, at Paris,. Vienna and at the various State and Industrial fairs, where it has been ex hibited, judges have invariably award ed the Royal Baking Powder the high est honors. At the recent World's Fair the ex amination for the baking powder awards were directed by the chief chemist of the Agricultural Depart ment at Washington. Tbe chief chem ist's official report ef tho tests of the baking powders, which was made for the specific purpose of ascertaining which was the best, shows the leaven ing strength of the Royal to be 160 cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce of powder. Of the cream of tartar baking powders exhibited, the next highest in strength tested contained but 133 cubic inches of leavening gas. The other powders gave an average of 111.- The Royal, therefore, was found of twenty per cent, greater leavening strength than its nearest competitor, and fortv-four per cent, above tho averaere of all the other tests. Its superiority in other respects, however, in the quality of the food it makes as to fineness, delicacy and wholesome- ness, could not be measured by hg ures. It is these high -qualities, known and appreciated by the women of the coun try for eo manv vears. that have caused the sales of the Royal Baking Powder, as shown by statistics, to ex ceed tho sale of all other Wwut; pow ders combined. FIrht Between Two Backs. Few people are aware of the desper ate character of a fight between two ferocious deer. At Harbin Springs recently two two-year-old bucks met in an inclosure and for about half an hour the fight was most furious. They tore up the earth and gored each other in a frightful manner. During a part of the time, and while the combat was the hottest, the air was filled with dust while they struggled for advantage. A I shortdistance away stood a doe and a Llaarntifvejing with an expression of interest add wonder a contest which was to decide which would rulo the family. .All doubts were soon set at rest, as one of the bucks made a tre mendous lunge that landed his oppon ent fifteen feet away ; this he followed up with a rush that pinned the other against the fence, from which he shortly afterward escaped, only to be caught again by his angry foe and tossed into a spring and gored until he bellowed, which was a sign of sur render. The fight was exciting while it lasted, and was witnessed by the guests of the Springs and quite a num ber from town who were visiting there. Middleton (Cal.) Independent.
