W. 3, ELLIOTT, Principal, SUGAR BEET CULTURE, Sugar beet, for tattle feed Dan be grown probably in any part of Ontario; but owing to favorable olimatio conditions, they aan be grown for the production of agar more profitably in oertain portione or nation than in otbere. Experience in gopntiee where the anger beet ie eaten. s' tvel grown ahem that it attains its greeted we perfection were the temperature for the months of May, June and July has a mean of 700 1'. A line running from Sarnia in to Southeasterly direction to St. Thomas and then curving gradually in a Northeasterly direction through the oou❑tiee of Norfolk and Haldimand to the city of Hamilton would locate the Northern boundary of the Hotted Stakes theoretical beet.eugar belt paeein g through Ontario. The motion of Ontario to the Beath of tbie line, comprising Essex, Seat, Bothwell, Elgin, 'Welland, Lincoln and the Southern porbione ot. Lambton, Irliddleeex,Norfolk, Haldimand sod Went- worth, favorable li w rEb 909 f0.V0 eb 4 imat 0 0 o I and ,P for he most art Boil conditions t i for the P hi hest development of the sugar beet Ilia not to be understood however, that there are no eeotiono in Ontario where sugar beets oan be gown for anger pro duotion. Temperature and length of season both North and Eget are more or less influenced by the lakes ; 000segnantly, in section° where land can be cultivated for planting by the let of May and ;where favorable beet harvesting weather oan be depended npon through October and the early part of November, beets may be produced as eneoeeefully ae within the above named 000010n. To grow sugar beets with a high content of sugar and a high degree of tonnage, whioh are regal. sites of the beetsugar industry, requires a high degree of agricultural skill. It is indeed a great mistake to suppose that because a farmer may be able to grow sugar beete for feed, he oan also grow them for ;agar prodnotioo. The former means bulk, while the latter means quality and bulk. To produce quality, 1. e., a high content of sugar,requiree knowledge, experience and skill. By a very little differeooe in the Boil, in the cultivation, in the kinds and the quantity of manure, in thinning, &o., a vary great difference in the sugar content of the boats may remit. The nonal methods of cultivation and manuring praotieed to produce a big Drop of turnips, potatoes, &o., applied to the aultivation of sugar beets would pro- duce an unprofitable crop for factory purposes. In every oonntry where beet sugar indaatriee are eetablished, it has reqaired from two to three year's praotioe baler the farmer. have been able to grow beets containing eatiefaotory percentages of sugar. Past analyses ot sugar beets grown in Ontario have shown that fully one-third of eaoh year's crop 08ntain9 lees than 12 per cent. ot sugar, a -percentage too low for factory use, It would indeed be a serions matter to both the farmer and the factory should ooe•third of the total crop grown for a factory contain only 12 per cent. of anger. To avoid euoh a misfortune emelt plots of sugar beets ehonld be grown according to deft• nite instructions where a factory is likely to be eetabliebed. Such an experiment would be an object lesson not alone to those grooving the beets bat more or lees to all farmers in the neighborhood, and by the analyeee of the beets valuable data regarding the fertility and the require. meats of the soil of different farms and eeotiono would be collected. In this way the farmers would learn quickly and in. expensively to produce crops of beets of high tonnage and rich in sugar. Reeti- tution to the Boil of the oo0etituente re. moved has to be considered in good farm. fag more or lees for all Drops, and espec- ially for any root Drop. The impreeeion prevails that sugar beets are partianlarly hard upon Boil and will in time impover- leb land. This is not necessarily true with Begat beets any more then with other root crops. Twelve tone of sugar beets, not including tops, removed from the Boil 79.2 Ibe. potash, 19,2 Ibe phos- phoric acid, and 38.4 Ibe. nitrogen, while an equal weight of turnips remove° 48, 14.4 and 52.8 the. reepeotively of potash, phoephorio acid and nitrogen. The corn. parioon does not, except in the oonstitaent potash, show that beets are more exhaus- tive than turnips. The tope of the twelve tons of beets contain 150 lbs. potash, 21.2 Ibe. phosphoric Rohl, and 96.0 Ibe. nitrogen. This fact, however, viz., that the tope contain large gaaotitiee of aeb constituents. A strictly eoientifio method of cultivation ooneiderothe available fer, tility already in the soil and supplies, lege than in the soil, all that the orop regnireo. In the aultivation of sugar for factory purpose', shote a high oontent of sugar 0e well as a high tonnage is required, par - Monier attention moat be given to the form in whioh the manure le applied and to the relative quantities of the several ash conetitfente. An unproportiooal amount of nitrogen, for example, will prevent the formation of sugar, yielding, it may be, a high tonnage, but an an. . InGrofltab1 earop for engarproduction. rr d otion ermany, where the sugar ie a saple atop, it oo0npie0 a poeition in the crop rotations between Fall rye or Winter wheat and a Spring cereal atop, usually wheat or barley. By many farmers the sugar beet ie the money prodnoing orop, while the other orope and the live amuck are regarded as auxiliaries to it. A epgar beet farmer is also a dairy farmer who keeps from 50 to 100 milch ,owe per 600' to 800 urea of land. Tbo sugar beet pulp, eepaoially when fed alongwith eager beet tope, is an exoellont food for dairy stook, and the large quantities of straw grown on sugar beet fat 1110 need ae fodder and ea bedding, furnish manure whioh 10 applied to the land for the Winter rye 08 wbeat whioh preceded Bogor beets. ;n a word, live steak and grain, growing are naually aombinad with lied auxiliary to eugar,boet 0tlltiritt!On, dMIH.

The beet does best in a warm moist aoii baying an open subsoil whioh ie oleo naturally warm and moist. Olay anile, whioh have a high retentive power for moletur°, usually require uaderdraiu- ing.

The beet results, then, Dau be rooting ti only when there are available to the plant in the right form and quantity in the preeen00 of other regutred conditions, the four moat important oonstitnente in the nourish. went of beets, viz., nitrogen, phosphoric aoid, potash and lime. Phoephorlo and in the form of water eoloble, as in super. phoophatee, quiokeua germination and effects a rapid growth of the young plant, thereby lessening the probability of in. jury by ineeote and disease. Phoephorlo acidaleo increases the yield and- hastens early maturity, making the anger eo n • to a high and consequently the orop 0t inareaeed value to a factory. Nitrogen both organic), as in decaying animal and vegetable matter, and inorganic, as in nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia, olearly inoreasee the yield ; but by the improper on of nitrogen the quality of the beet is distinctly injured, especially so, when a corresponding amount of phos. phorio acid is not need with the nitrogen. Although there are no defioite oonolueione from experiments conducted ea to the exact effects of potash and 0e to the most suitable form of potash Balt to apply, it ie known to he an eaeential and impor• taut constituent in the nourishment of sugar been. It ie only when all the other required elements of fertility are present that any manurial constituent or combination of cooetitaente has any value ; therefore, their can be no normal manure for sugar beets. An actual ex periment alone will determine for a par- ticular location or Boil the conetitnent or combination of constituents that may be aged to the beat advantage in the °oltiva• tion of anger beets. A manure oalonlat ed to give the beet reeolta upon one Boil, may depreeiete the quality of the beets on other soil. What a soil already eon - tains and the form in wbiob ite elements essential to the normal growth of the beet exist, are important questions which require answering before the kind and quantity of Malign regltired by a per. allow.

SUS P09ITION OF 0170AR BEETS rN A ROTATION. They should follow a crop to which farmyard manure has been applied, and shoulbe followed by wheat, barley or nate.

Fig 1, in the bulletin, shows the proper position of the beet at maturity in the soil, indioetes the great depth to whioh the taproot penetrates. This penetration of the soil he of the greatest importanoe in mooring a steady growth of plant and a high percentage of sugar. Meeting impervione eabooil dedeate the taproot, develops lateral roots, and lift, the beet more or lase out of the ground, all of whioh tend to lessen theP eroentage of agar. It the beets follow Fall wheat, the land may be plowed shallow, just covering the gobbles, as early after the wheat is harvested as possible and bar. rowed, oaueiog the vegetable matter to decay and seeds to germinate. Late in Autumn, oroee-plow to a depth of nine thither', ?glowing in each furrow with a subsoil plow, looeening (not turning up). the soil several inahee deeper. Leave the land thee plowed and loosened, to the Winter frost, whish through alternate expansion and contraction, becomes die- integrated and mellowed. But in case potatoes or fodder corn precede the beets, early Autumn cultivation of the potato ground should not be necessary, while that of the aorn land may be modified for the porpoise of disposing of the corn roots. Late deep plowing ie an essential part, however, of Fall aultivation for sugar beets on any soil ; but enbeoiling, se above described, may be omitted in ex• septiooal instances where the subsoil is naturally free and open. In oaee it has notbeen practicable to apply farmyard manure to the orop preceding sugar beets, then the manure Auld be drawn out upon the stubble land and just covered by the early autumn shallow ploughing whioh is mentioned above: 580100 00LsrverrON Ann PLANTING, Plant ae' early Ie soil and olimate will THE CREAT CASH STORE NEW SUMMER MILLINERY The Latest and most Up-to-date Novelties have arrived for Summer.

Under no consider• ation should an inferior quality of seed be sown. Owing to the many good varieties of sugar beets, arising Welly from eole0- tion and culture it ie not easy to name all. The Vilmorin Improved and the Klein- wanzlebeuer have been most widely grown in America. When the soil of the seed• bed has been reduoed to a finely divided condition, it ehonld be compressed by rolling, and upon the same day the seeds may be planted to a depth of one iooh. Planting therefore, is upon the flat, done either by hand or by drill at the rate of 16 pounds of Beed per more. Theisen re. milts in root and sugar content are obtain- ed by a distance of 21 inches between the drilla and seven inches between the planta fn the drill. At these distances, the ground becomes completely oovered with the foliage, a condition whioh ie very essential ton paying percentage of anger. After planting the land should be har- rowed once lengthwise with tba planting with light and harrowe, for the purpose, obirfly, of preserving the Boil moisture. In from ten to fourteen days, with favor- able weather, the planta will have germ- inated. CCL110071ON 01• B0ET4 BEFORE THINNING. As soon as the plants oan be traded in a row, enrfaoe onitivation of the nil be- tweeo the drills ehonld be commepoed, to Olean the land and preserve the moisture, to admit air more freely into the soil, and in every way to hasten the moat rapid growth of the young plants. This oultivation may be accomplished by band, but more quickly by a horse shoe. It ehonld beremembered that the young plants are easily injured, either by a cov- ering of earth or by being loosened ;there. fore, a strip of 5 inches on each side of the planta in the drill should not be die• tuned by this early aultivation. TIIINNINO. After the first cultivation, the young planta grow rapidly when upon the dove'. opment of the 8rd or 4th leaf, thinning moat be oommeoaed, and should be 11n- ietied ea soon after ae possible. Thin- ning is dote chiefly with a narrow hoe, but the hands must be also freely used in singling out for the reason that the young aeleoted planta, unlike turnips must not be roughly handled. CBlarvAT0ON AFTER THINNING. Daring thinning, the best will have grown coneiderably, and the Gime having arrived for a second cultivation, the hand or horse hoe may be run deeper than in the first oultivation, in order - to open thoroughly and loosen the soil for the tree admission of air. A mond hand hoeing soon after finishing the first thin. fling is advisable, for thereason that two or more plants growing together injure one another both in size and quality. It has also the advantage of (Seating and loosening the ground in the drills between the plants. Even a third and a fourth horee hoeing may be done, depending, of course, upon oiroumetances.. Every enl- tivation promotes growth, improving the ohanimafor a profitable crop, but meat never be done when the ground is wet. HARVESTING. The right time for harvesting varies with oironmotancee. The later it is de - 'eyed the better, provided sufficient fine weather remains to accomplish the work, and provided the beets are not in danger of a Boned growth. Both wet weather and freezing temperatures are undesirable; 000eeguently,if the baste have ripened, harvesting may begin any time in Ooto- ber. Yellowish green Dolor of leaf, droop. ing and dying leaves are indiontions of ripened beets. Harvesting beete is not diffoult. The beets are loosened from the ground either with a epade•like in• etrument or by a maolline galled a beet harvester. Topping is done with a large knife held in the hand. The operation coneiebe in removing the whole of that portion of the beet to whioh the stem of the leaves have been attached.
