Since made slick signs each. a tiie tiie year, that come short ket we'd up style Velutble Point« About th* CultNm* tloo of the Crop. Tiie sugar beet requires a warm loca iion, because it is very sensitive to surly frost, and experience show« that the sugar capacity increases anu di minishes with the amount of heat in the locality. It needs very much wa ter, and therefore requires, in a dry jlimate, a fresh, deep, rich soil. Tho best soils are deep, humus clay (loam) sod marl. The roots of tiie beet go very often three and one-fourth to four feet in the ground, and take nourish ment out of the deep soil, where fer- same tilizing is impossible. It is, therefore, sconomicai not to raise more than one jrop of beets in three or four years on the .same ground. (However, a rich •oil will produce a good crop for sév irai successive years (we have exam ples of raising beets on the same ground ten successive years without any fer tilizer, and yet a good crop), but in the same time the vegetable and an imal enomies of the beet will be in pressed enormously. The beet follows usually wheat or rye, and is followed by barley. A di rect application of manure to the beet Increases the crop, but also at the tame time the amount of nitrogen and ashes. It is best, therefore, to raise beets the second year after ma nuring. The best fertilizers are guano, ' ashes, potassic salts, superphosphates, bone dust and compost. If beets are raised year after year, and the leaves are not needed to feet oattle with, it is very good to spread the leaves all over the ground, and then plow twelve to fifteen Inches deep. If it is the intention to rais< beets after grain, it is good to plow shallow as soon as possible and to plow deep after several weeks. Care has to bo taken that no "dead soil" comes to the surface, as it would tend to stop tiie growth of the beets, at least for the season. During the winter time tiie land remains in "rough furrow," and in spring the harrow is used and the roller for pulverizing and leveling the land. If there are many weeds on the land, it is necessary to cultivate or to plow. The principal thing is to keep the moisture in the ground, and the beet-raiser has to pay his first at tention to this point The boet has to be cultivated as soon as possible, or otherwise it is over grown with weeds. The first hoeing will lie given as soon us the rows are visible. Where human labor is cheap it is preferable; if not so, tiie cultivator has to be used. After this work is done comes tho thinning. Tiie seed of the beet presents a glomerate contain ing five or six seeds; of tlieso two or three are capable of germination and produce plants; but as a plant wants a certain space for its development, it is necessary to take out so many plants that only one remains every six to twelve Inches. By planting with the drill a great deal of work will be saved by cultivating across the rows. The distanoe of the shares is usually six inches. An old rule among the farm ers is that beets ought to bo thinned if they have three leaves, because it does not take so much time as when they are smaller.— Burnt 1'ress. <»■ tiie the is us Hi CHEVALIER BAYARD.

But, remember, it Is not an experi mental inacblue, aa the Old Foay machines are. You are well aware of tbe time lost (that yoa have to pay for) In oiperimentlue with Old Fegy machines. The New Fnnglrd Thresher lead» the way. The growling and kicking of the Old Fogy agents is only equaled by the amount of grain kicked out In the straw by tiie O d Fegy niachli.es. Of course, if you wish a cheep machine, Old Fogies will supply you et your own price; but their machines are deer at any price. You cannot afford to buy a thresher without examining the AIITAHUli. Do not be talked Into buying a machine because it ia cheap aud Old Fogy Ink.

Do not fool witli them any longer, while your groin la going to a ante. Remember the new-fkngled machine lo sold ou Ita merits entirely. Re member, your whole dependeuce la upon your crop proceeds, and if you allow Old Fogy ma chinée to waste yonr grain, you are Just that much out of pocket. To prévaut this, see I that the party that does your threshing procures a nea-tangled A D V ANt'K Tin « »her. ea they are constructed se as to aavc your grain, and have s botter record than any old-figy machine.
