She le l a st.art,a expreseam its she looked veceetly around the waiting room. 'Finally she stepped over t ckot office and asked the weary e,g-nt " What time uoes the next traits leave for Milwaukee ?" "At 11:301" replied the agent without looking up. She seemed greatly relieved as lam trotted back to her seat, but before she had been seated many minutes. her exoitemitut broke out afresh, and eke made another move in he direction of the weary portufbed agent to whom she put the time honored question: "le that Week right ? " It ie," replied the agent, shortly, as he returned to btick the end of his cigarette in the gas jet. Once more she started back fat her seat, and aa she die, so a man shouted "All aboard" for some local train. She hurried and got all her parcels together and made a bold break for the tree. "Where are you. going ?" asked, the man in uniform. "To Milwaukee," she replied. s " Noton this train t" exclaimedthe porter. "Why not ?'" the demanded, brandishing her umbrella. •" Because it doesn't go to Milwaukee 1" "Oh ?" she exclaimed with a kind of frenzied she a : back to her relief, as fi.t crit her e ab h seat and piled her packages , but she could not remain in any bne position for aneelength of time. She kept hopping - up and looking about wildly. +'Are you waiting for anyone p asked a benevolent looking old gentleman with a kindly smile and about a three day's growth of iron=grey beard. "Only for the train for ;Milwaukee,'; she replied.``Do you think it will direr be ready ?k she asked nervously. a" In about an hour," he replied. "Be perfectly calm, it cannot get away without you. While: she composed herself he went on : " I hope you are not going on an unpleas- ant errand ? "No," she responded, "just a -going to see my sister Jane. Ain't seen her for 27 years, and I want to get there as soon as possible ; there ain't no clanger of being snowed up now, is there ?" "None whatever," the benevolent gent'e- . man assured her, " and I only trust the re. union may Le a very happy one. What an unhappy thing it le for families to be broken up dna the members scattered, so to speak, to the four wiude." "It is," she replied. "I 'never saw nay grandpa in my life, because he died before I was born. But I've often heard pe tat about him. He had a wen on the; back of his neck and wee a dead shot with his rifle. Poor grandpa !" The benevolent gentleman, thi(king her mina might be shattered, determined to get away from, her as quickly as possible, before some one should put them down fat man and wife, and crush his dignity and self-respect; Sa he said : "Excuse me, I want to get insurance ticket." Guest I'll get one, tto." So again she went to the ticket agent and after the old men had got his she said, after buying the insurance ticket : What does this pay ?" " Depends upon the extent of tha` accident —some injuries pay better than others." " How much if I get indigestidh eating train food, ?" The agent smiled. " How much if I get cholera': train fruit ?" Still the agent didn't deign to reply. " Suppose I got killed, then how =much ?" The clerk, in duty bound, replied : " Three thousand dollars." "And if there ain't no accident, I get thing " Exactly," said the agent. "And I'm out a whole quarter." Yes," echoed the agent. "Say ,' she went on in a confidential way, " do you think we'll have an act ident on this trip ?" cannot " We haven't one scheduled. tell though." If there was going to be one wouldn't it be scheduled ?" t I suppose so," murmured the etasperat- ed agent, lighting a fresh cigarette.; " Well, if I thought there was gains to he an accident on this trip I'dwait over until the next, a'though insured." Then she beat the floor with her umbrella. 1n an ecstacy of despair until she felt that her only relief lay in saying somethieg. "What, time did you say the Milwaukee train starts ?" "11:30." "Then,: I have an hour to wait ?"' tt Yea" "Are you sure the clock is right 1" "If you were as right as the clock you'd be all right," n urinum ed the clerk under his breath, while to her he said aloud " Positive."

The sugar -beet As a Variety of the ordi- nary beet that, by cat ettil, and scientific se- lection and propagation, hits been improved, so that now examples are not wanting whose juice contains 20 per cent sugar. The sugar beet has bei found to thrive throughout the greater .part of Europe and the United Statist. As the northern or southern limit of this very extended area of growth is approached tbe sugar -beet in- creases in richness. What the sugar -cane is to the tropics, the itugar-beet is to the temperate zones. There can be no doubt but what the climate of a+ large portion of Canada is suitable [for thea development of beets rich in sugar. f, The value of bee ts• f or' the manufacture of sugar depends upon their =richness in sugar and the purity of their ;juice, and these again in turn depend upon the kind of seed, the quality and condititbh of the soil, the ex- tentio and the t and nature the ciiltivati n s the '"failure in character Iter of the season h past has often reitilted froiti not recognizing the fact that the 1*ugar-beet requires a dif- ferent and more thorou h cultivation than beets grown for fodder drposes. A right '� ctirre ct 'planting, preparation of the i;oi , p g, and the keeping of the root 'well below the surface of the ground, all exert their in- fluence upon this crop, Both as to quality and quantity. an accident no - In view of the probable extension of the beet -sugar industry in the near future and the consequent growth of ` these roots in larger quantities in this country, it has been thought advisable to give some information —necessarily in a concise , form—regarding those methods of culture Which have been found advantageous by experienced sugar - beet growers. Som.—The sugar -beet will grow in almost any soil, but its profiitable culture requires a good soil, properly prepared. Heavy clay and wet soils, rocky and marshy lands, are not desirable. By judici- ous drainage the former may be vastly im- proved. Soils iii which clay predominate are often too hard and impenetrable. In a ground full of stones the roots become fork- ed and unsuited for the factory, and in a wets soil a watery root is produced. Rich, loose, sandy soils, containing •a fair proportion of lime, are the most favorable for the growth of beets rich in sugar. Too much organic matter in the soil is apt to impair the purity ef the juice, and for this reason the soil selected should be well manured the previous autumn, no application being made in the spring.- The manure used should be in a thoroughly rotted condition. The soil must not only be fertile, but its mechanical condition must be suchthat the roots may easily penetrate at. Soils in suitable condition for grain crops give excellent results, and a soil in which the in -turned sod is thoroughly rotted is also good. New soil is not considered the most desirable. In seasons when it is hot and dry the stronger and heavier soil, if well drained, will be found more favorable than a loose sandy soil, but the latter, if well Tenured, will be the better if the summer israiny or cold. The ground should receive a thorough cultivation previous to seeding. If at all heavy it should not be worked while wet. Sowneo.—The proper time for seeding will depend upon the season and the soil, out during the latter part of April or the beginning of Maythe soil will in most localities be sufficiently dry, without having dost that degree' of moisture necessary for which Milia ofen wateruced with nme times s is h ghl recommended. ma peso waa anti urea Into 2smerioa ay stook imported - am Europe about five years ago.

Early plowing holds :the moisti re. The earth settles enough before cold weather to give the wheat plants a firm bed in which to root. If plowing is delayed until later in the•fall it should be shallower. Land plowed late and shallow often gives a good crop, particularly when there is no ahortage of moisture in the fall. In this case the wheat roots gain a hold in the solid soil below where the plowshare has cut. Deeper plowing done later is tho best to use a roller on. Rolling will give firm root bed. Shallow plowing early and deep plow- ing late are to be carefullyavoided. - THE CATTLE HORN -FLY The Latest Insect. Fest that is Bothering the Canadian Fernier.
