The Art of Walking.
To be thoroughly graceful long Btepß

A stiff walk is also very ungraceful,
and that is the great fault of English

too long strides.
Spanish women have a very pretty
walk, naturally, as also have Italian
country girls and all accustomed to
carrying weights on their heads.
The French are also vdry graceful

Take dancing lessons to begin with and
then repeat your leseons before your

COLTiE OF SUGAR-BEETS
As Sugar Is Made in Fields, and Not in Factories, Good Seed Is an
Important Requirement —German Consul's Report.
0
Henry W. Diederich, United States
sonsul at Magdeburg, Germany, sends
the following repoit to the state depart
ment. The roport will prove of inter
est and value to the farmers of the
Northwest, who are just taking up the
industry. Mr. Diedrich says:
The results of the war with Spain are
bound to effect changes in various direc
tions that no one could have foreseen
at the beginning of this year. Not the
least important is the bearing they will
undoubtedly have on the sugar industry
in Gormany and in the United States.
An enoiomus increase in the production
of sugar in the islands of Cuba, Puerto
Rico, the Philippines and Hawaii is
probable in tne near future. With
soolie and Chinese labor in the Orient
and in the Pacific, with the stimulus of
American energy and capital in the
West Indies, and with the more or less
intricate bounties of Europe, the sugar
question has become a very complicated
one.
Though the outlook of the young
beet-sugar industry in the United
States is not so promising as it was a
year ago, it is much too early to be
corao discouraged. While it may bo
advisable for those planning to stait
new plants to make haste slowly, yet
the good work already begun should
continue. Especially should the work
of locating the areas in the United
States suitable for the culture of the
sugar-beet be continued, as this can be
ione without risk or loss of money, the
sugar beets being capable of utilization
as feed. In leading the reports of our
experiment stations in various states,
both as to yield of sugar-beets and also
as to their saccharine qualities, one
cannot but admire the wonderful prog
ress made in this new industry within
a few years, and to congratulate our
people engaged in it upon their success.
Sugar is made, not in the sugar fac
tories, but out in the fields. Therefore
it is impossible to pay too much atten
tion to the cultivation of beets con
taining the highest proportions of
3ugar, and, at the same time, with the
largest tonnage per acre. In order to
produce such, the selection of suitable
soil, the climate, the rainfall, and
length of season, the fertilizing, plant
ing, cultivating and harvesting—all
these are very important factors. But
the most important of all is to start
out with the best seed obtainable; for
good seed, after all, is the foundation
of successful sugar industry. If I may
express an opinion, based on my per
sonal observation, it is that some of our
beet growers should insist more than
they have upon getting none but the
best of seed, no matter what the price
may be.
I will not enter upon the history of
the origin and development of the beet
seed. Nor will I dwell upon the dif
ferent varieties and their merits. I
have had occasion to visit several of
the celebrated German stock farms,
where they produce seed that is sold to
all sugar-producing countries of the
world. With the accumulated knowl
edge and experience of a century of in
vestigation, with an investment of
enormous capital, and with a vast
amount of scienco and skill, energy,
and labor, their methods of producing
a pure and high-grade seed are as per
fect and successful as are those em
ployed in the raising of fine breeds of
horses and cattle.
The high-grade seed grown in this
country is now in the lead everywhere.
Even France is beginning to import!
German beet seed, thereby conceding
its superiority. I know that one Ger
man firm alone shipped 80,000 sacks of
seed to France. I feel safe in saying
that altogether not less than 100,000 i
sacks of German beet seed were bought
by Frenchmen last season, in spite of
the 80 francs ($5.97) customs duty
which they had to pay on every 100
kilograms (220 pounds). lam in
formed that most of these orders have
been duplicated for next season, and the
amounts in many cases doubled and

trebled; all of which shows clearly that
even France now prefers German beet
seed, and I am not at all surprised to
learn that there is a movement on loot
in that country to increase the tariff on
imported seed.
The first-class sugar factories of Eu
rope buy none but the very best seed,
grown from high-grade individual
"mother 1' beets, to distribute among
the best growers; thus not only main
taining the standard of their sugar
beets as to quality and quantity, but
also putting themselves in a position
to compete in all the markets of the
world. This first-class seed Is sold and
delivered by the growers on board cars
in the Prussian province of Saxony, at
from 8 to 10 cents per pound, which is
a moderate price, considering the fact
that it takes at least four years to get
it into the market
There is also a second-class seed
offered for sale in this country, at from
sto 6 cents per pound. This is com
monly called the "Nachzachtsamen,"
being a seed produced not fiom the
mother beets, but from the first first
class seed mentioned above. This in
ferior grade, however, is not used by
first-class sugar men in Germany,
Prance, Holland and Belgium, but
most of it goes to Austria, Russia and
the United States. And this is the
reason why I deem it my duty to call
attention to the importance of getting
only the very best of seed obtainable.
In my opinion, those American growers
of sugar-beets who buy cheap grades of
seed, make a great mistake. All kinds
of seed have a natural tendency to
degenerate. Even the first-class beet
seed mentioned above will not bring
forth beets that come up to the stand
ard of the original or mother beet, but
will show a loss of % to 1 per cent
of sugar content. Now, the second
generatiion of seed will degenerate
more than as much again, and lose
from 1 per cent to 2 per cent. This is
a small amount when considered by it
self, yet it is sufficient not only to turn
the profits of a sugar factory into a
loss, but even to drive the conoem to
the wall.
To illustrate this: Factory A slices
50,000 tons (short) of beets, which
would yield about an average of 15.5
per cent sugar in the extraction. After
deducting the sugar left in the molasses
and in other waste, this would leave
about 13 per cent —6,500 tons of pure
granulated, marketable sugar, which at
$50 a ton would net $325,000.
Faotory R slices the same amount of
beets, grown from second-class seed,
which, at a fair average, have about 1.8
per cent less of sugar in the extraction.
After this material has also gone
through the prooess of refining, there
will be 11.7 per cent —5,850 tons of
marketable sugar, which at $50 a ton
would net $292,500.
It will be seen at a glance that while
both factories use the same amount of
material, and have the same expenses
for labor, fuel, eta, there is a differ
ence in the gross receipts for manufac
tured sugar amounting to $32,500.
Factory A bought 55 tons of first
class seed, at $180 per ton, $9,900;
factory B bought 55 tons of second
class seed, at $120 per ton, $6,600. It
will be seen that factory B wanted to
buy "oheap" and to make money fast.
It did, indeed, save $3,300 at the start;
but faotory A began by planting the
very best seed obtainable, and came out
at the end of the season with $29,200
cash ahead of its competitor, and was
in the position of declaring a handsome
dividend.
Like so many other things in life,
the cheapest beet seed are the dearest.
It pays to get the very best, and only
the very best is good enough. Let the
' good work of experimenting in the field
of sugar-beet culture oontinue, in order
to learn exactly what we can do in the
face of fierce and growing competition,
but let American growers determine not
only to try different varieties of seed,
but also to plant none but seed of high
grade and pure pedigree.

London, Oct. 25.—Never since Great
Britain and France b^gan to dispute
over Egypt, nor during the most aqute
stage of the Niger differences between
those countries, has the situation
looked so ominous as today. In spite
of the hope expressed in the journal!
of both countries that the matter
would be amicably-, arranged, it is a
fact that the French naval and military
authorities are making feverish prepar
ations for war, and, though calm reigns
at the British dockyards at Portsmouth.
Chatham and Devon port, it is only the
calm of preparedness. v: ;
Significant orders have been arriving
there from the admiralty, indicating
that Great Britain and France are on
the brink of war. The admiralty has
ordered every seagoing warship to have
its crew made up to the full comple
ment, as ordered in case of mobiliza
tion. The order practically means the
complete filling prospect!vely of every
ship's company in detail. Four tor
pedo-boat destroyers which were about
to be fitted with new water-tube boilers
have had their orders countermanded,
and will be instructed to redraw their
stores. Officers on leaves of absence
and unemployed have been notified to
hold themselves In readiness to com
mission reserves if required.
The French statesmen, however, still
cling to the hope that the Marquis of
Salisbury will offer some exchange.
