Experiments of Last Year Recorded by the Department of Agricn!ture, MOST GRATIFYING SHOWING. Suggestions to Farmers as Regards the Manner of Preparing Ground he New Experiment Sta- tion at Schuyler. A special bulletin has been received from the department of agriculture which gives attention at length to Nebraska beet culture. From Me. Henry T. Oxnard, it says, the department purchased three tons of sugar beet seed, of which the greater purt was the variety known as Klein Waunzlebener., In addition to this, how- ever, small quantities of white improved Vilmorin were purchased together with the varieties of beets grown by Leinaue, Legrand, Florimond and Bulteau Des prez. These were put in one-pound puckages and distributed among the favmers with dirvections for preparing the soil and planting and cultivating the beets, Nearly one thousand sam- ples of beets wer od by the de- purtment, of which analyses were made and the resuit communicated to the farmers sending them. [In most cases, the planting and cultivation of the Jbeet were conducted according to methods hit upon by the farmer, the instructions given for certain reasons being unheeded. The estimated yield wiis, upon beets weighing one pound at 10,000 or twenty tons per acre. It is not meant by this that a yield of twenty tons can be obtai y Tarme) at the beginning, for this is not the case; it is only exceptionally that such a yield can be secured. When, however, the exact methods of beet culture are - thor- oughly understood and the method of fertilizing and preparing the soil studied, it will not be ditticult, with favorable climatic conditions, to secure vield of beets equal to twenty tons per re IXPERIMENTS AT FACTORIES. By the courtesy of the managers of the company the department was per- mitted to station chemist at Grand Island, who had charge of the sampling of the beets as thoy came to the factory in wagons or carloads. Nearly thres thousand analyses of samples were mad: The proprietors of the fuctory were en- couraged by the season’s work. Manufacturing oxperiments, on a small seale, with sugar beets, were also carried on during the scason just past at Medicine Lodge, Kansas., About eighty acres of beets in all were harvested for the fuctory, and a summary of the work done will be given in another pluce. FINANCIAL RETURNS TO B ROWERS In general, the foilowing remar may ba made concerning the last son’s work in the beet-sugar industry, from a commercinl point of view, in Nebraska and Kansas. The summer in both localities was ex- ceptionally dry. Ior this reason and on account of lack of knowledge among tho farmers in regard to the proper methods of ruising beets the average crop was very short. In Nebraska the exact ton nage can not be known, but probably it would not average more than two or three tons of beets per acte; in Kuansas the average seems to have been some- what higher. In many cases farmers obtained ten and even fifteen tons of beets per acre, showing that even in adverse conditions of season a reason- ably large crop may be harvested when all other conditions uecessary to the proper growth of the crop are attended to. ‘As might well be expected from the small yield, the farmers in general were dissatisfied with the season’s work. It is not reasonable to expect satisfaction from a crop of so low an average when the labor of growing it is great; but while the farmers are dissatisfied . it must be confessed that a great deal of this dissatisfaction must be attributed to their own lack of knowledge of the sub- ject or to their disinclination to put upon the beet fields the proper amount of labor and culture at the proper time. Instead of being therefore deterred from continuing the productioun of sugar beets, it would seem wiser on the part of the farmevs to study carvefully the meth- ods of ugriculturé pursued by those who made a success of beet cultare, and to imitate those methods during the coming season. The fact should not be forgotten, however, that even with the poor results obtained the beet crop was uniformly better than the average of other crops in the same locality. It would be useless to hold out to the farmer the hope of financial reward from u beet crop which would average only three tons per acre; but if from thisacr he could produce ten to fifteen tons of beets then his venture would prove financially successful. In ovder that the manufacture of beet sugar should be- come an established commercial success, the factories und the farmers must work in harmony. It perhaps, however, would be un avoidable at the beginning of thé in- dustry that a feeling of animosity should oxist between the bect-grower und the manufacturor. After a few years the prices to be paid for beets and other agreements with the farmers will doubt- less be adjusted on a seale of equity and satisfaction to all concerned, The Sugar Beet in Schuyler. The ambition and hope felt by the people of Schuyler says the Schuylor Sun, and which moved us to the utmost endeavor to have the U. S. sugar boet experimental station located at our town, huve been fully and justly realized. We have now the daily satisfuction of observing the founding of a work which, it is believed, will be the initiative and basis of a great industry for the state of Nebraska and of a peculiar honor to the city of Schuyler. In the first place, the government sugar beet experimentul station located at Schuyler is not a local enterprise, nor only identified with our state; it is rep- resentative of the work of the govern- meant department of agriculture of the United States. Further, if must be ob- sorved, the undertuking of the ugri- cultural department has an interest and use extending sven beyond the limits of the United States. It is known of and watched by the governments, and the representatives of the sugar industry of European countries, and, as a sure con ‘sequence, it must occur that whatever interest is shown by foreign lands in the beot sugar industry of the United States it must, by the attraction of the govern- ment, be deawn towards and focused on chuyler. Henceforth, from the inte tional point of view of the beet sugar industry, Schuyler will be the officia represvntative station of the new world sphoi The chief lines of experiment to be pursued by the experimentel station are intended, in the first place, to show, officially and finally, that the soil and climutic conditions of parts of the United States, and in particular of the state of Nebraska, are highly favorable | to the culture of the beet for the manu- JUTLY facture of sugar; snd, | to indi- cate, and eventually; to br und pro duce, the varieties of beets specinlly adapted to the genoral and locall) special conditions which may be met with. When it ig made clear to our farmers, and alse to capitalists, that sugar beets can be grown reaching the highest grades of wdvantage, not only wiil attention he riven to their culture, but factories will be grounded eapable of handling the products of the lands avound Schuyler acre of which, it may prac ) id, is adapted to beet growth, And again, when it has been estublished, the varieties most adapted to the nature of our situation, the breeding of those varieties and the production of seed, will become a dis- tinet and lucrative branch of the in- dustry. In conjunction with the above remarks we here publish a letter written t Messrs, Wells & Nieman to the Louis ana Plunter and Sugar Manufacturer, the only publication of its kind of any note in the United States, relative to the tublishment of the experimental sta- tion at this placo: NEBRASKA SUGAR BEET EXPERIMENT STATION, Editor Louisiann Planter: The sugar beet experimental station ablished by th United States department of agriculture and located at Schuyler, Neo., commenced opera- tions u week ago, und although no cuitivat- ing was done in the autumn, the soil is ready for putting in the seed, Mr. Walter Maxwell, M. 4 ist, and assistant to Dr. H. W department of agriculture, is charge of the station. Mr. Maxwell, it will be remembered, is the gentiemon whom Dr, Wiley appointed to find out why the sucroso could not be crystatized out of the sorghum juice in a quaniity to make 1t pay to make sugar from sorehum, and whose discoverics led to the invention of the new ‘“alcohol process,” which hus been approved by the last congress in the shape of an_appropria tion of £25,000 to try the process on a large scale.

Mr. Kilpatrick Propounds Twelve Questions Touching Silver Coin O, duty 2,—Hon. W. J. Bryan—Dear Sir: Ilooked with special interost tosce what you might have to say 1n answer to Mr. Hopkins' last letter against the unlimited coinage of silver; and I was disappointed to find tnut you did not seem to adhere closely to the poiuts mude by Mr. Hopkins, and that you appeared to avoid the more important principles laid down by him. For some rea- SOn you devote your energies to the manuer rather than the matter of his argument. Consequently though I bavo read all of your letters carefully, ana with a sincere desire to understand them, vet I am still quite at loss to know what your own exactviews are on this important question. Permit mo therefore, to submit to you the following plain and'simple questions and in_doing so I have no desire to burden you with any addi- tional weight or work in this contest. Iam indeed, sure that you will not consider it in the light of a task imposed ubon you, for you can readily answer all these questions in fif- teen minutes, without further reading or reference, Question 1. If wo had but one standard— gold—would you huye it coined atits com- mercial, or cost of production value or at a valuation greatly in exeess of this¢ Question 2. If coined at & valuation,greatly in excess of its commereial value,would we be able to buy more from foreign nations for an ounce of gold by virtue of this deception? Question 3 Would the prices of our domes- tie products advance owing to this excessive valuation put upon coined gola? Question 4. 1f you answer ‘‘yes,” then would the advance in ce be owing to an in- crease in the circulation or to the fact that the currency was debased ! Question If yowawswer ‘‘no,” then how can you explain the curious fact that the farmer, the merchant and the manufacturer is willing to exchange his product for a less amount of gold? If you answer ‘yes,” you acknowledgo that a “debased currency” ad- vances prices, and the advance in pric measure of the debasement; for instance, if tho goverument issues 5 cents’ worth of gold, and 1nsists upon calling it 100 cents, then prices in general will be double what they were before. Now, then, please answer the next question Question Does the increase of a sound currency, at its market value, increase pricos ! (I maintain that it does.) Question 7. 1s a uniform and universal in- crease of price (if it were possiole) any bene- fit to the community as a whole? Question 8. 11 we have at any time a very general—but not uniform or universal ad- vance in prico—what becomes of the widows and orphans, whose incomes were fixed in the past! Do these incomes increuse as their purchasing power is lessened? Does the farmer who sells his wheat in a foreign mar- ket, in competition with all the world, share 10 this increase? aud do wages increase as rapidly as the necessaries of lifet In war times, notwithstauding the demand for men in the field, “labor” was the last thing to ad- vance. Was that an exception, or is it an universal law ¢ Qnuestion 9. If, when we have one metal standard, the metal should be coined at its market value, why, when we have two metals, should' one be coined at its market value and one at less? Is the principle right; (Leaving aside for the time being the qu tion so much discussed by you, whether at present silver is valued too low or gold too bigh.) Question 10. Ts it true that a poor and de- based currency will tend to drive out the more valuable one? Or, to put 1t in another way: if the government or any one else at- tempts to things or persous of utequal value on the same footing, will the best one alwuys £0 to where it is most appreciated ! o2 much for general principles; now for a Question 11. In the United States our largest annual product of gold was in 15 It amounted in value to £5,000,000. Our production in silver was that same year only 0,000, In the year 1590 our product of gold fell off as comparcd with 1853 so that it amounted to only 2,500,000, or about one- half. On the other hand, our product of silver in 1800 wus at its coinage value £1 3,000, or i, 430 times as much as as iv was in 1855, ' Now is that sufficient to account for the decline in the price of silver! Or is the decline due to the “demouetization” of silver, as you claim, n 15731 Question 12, If the dechne fs due, as you have maintained, to ‘‘demonctization,” how do you account for the wonderful influence of this magic word, when the fucts are as follows! Total amount of silver coined in the United States, including dollars, balf dollars, quarters, dimes, h-cent pi pioces, from 1792 to 1872 inclusive, $14! 150.70; total amounmt of silver coined trom 1873 to 1500 inclusive; $450,28 40 not suppose that either you or myself have any direct personal interest in silver or silver coinage; and I presume your answers will be in accordunce-with the following ex- tract from ex-Secretary Charles S. Faircnild in the last number of the Forum. He says: “Appasently only pure, hard busiuess prop- stions are’ involved, which it ought to be possible to take up without feeling or preju- dice and with entire indifference to the an- swers which facts and logic may compel the investigator to give.” Tuovmas KiLPATRICK A Poser for Lawye John Doe owns a farm on the bani of the Niagura river, says the Buffulo Kx- press.

Tur BEE is a success in the newspaper line and the fact cannot be disputed. dward Rosewater has had more abuse heaped upon him than any newspaper man in tho west, but he fizhts his s well and comes out generally on top. isa staver and rides the breakers with ease. May she live to celebrate many birthdays is our hearty wish. Gothenburg Independent: Tur Oyama DaiLy Ber has entered upon its twenty-first year. As a newspaper Tur Ber is without a peer in the state and the publisher has reason to be proud of the great success attuined along that line. Neligh Advocate: Tie Ovuits Ber of tho 19th instant celebrated its 20th birthday by pubiishing a fac simle of the fivst paper pub- lished June 19, 1571 It was a little five column sheet, with both composition and press work that would discredit a backwoods sheet on the outer edge of civilization at the present time. F'rom that small beginning Tue 3EL is now u mammoth eight-page paper, of seven columns to the page, printed on a per- fecting press, in the finest and most complete newspaper building west of New York; and from printing an edition of a few hundreds its average daly circulation is now over 000. Then it was a sprightly little sheet, with little influence; now it is the most com- plete aud best newspaper prinied west of Chicago, and exercises a tremendous influ- ence in Nebrasaa and adjoining states. Tugr BEE: is a shiniog example of what pluck, per- severence and ability will do toward building upa great uewspaperout of small begin- awgs. Niobrara Pioneer: "I Owana Bee cele- brated its 20th birthday on the 19th. [t has always had a hive of busy bees with the edi- tor the king bee. Well does the Poneer re- member the early days of Tue Bre and how it crushed many a job and nipped the victor- ies of corporationsin tho bud. This journal has always had u kindly feelng for the suc- cess of both Twe Bee and it_editor, and the last rounds of the ladder are surprising to the world for their uniqueness and wonder- ful enterprise. Tue B is the only great fearless newspaper wost of Chicago and east of San Francisco. May its buzz, its honey and 1ts sting ever play their approprinte parts, and its news cells be abundantly filled from tho blossoms of tho earth. Edgar Post: Tiur Omana Bee is twenty years old. A fac simile of the first issue was reproduced on the first page. By com- purison with Tt Bt of today it 1s plain to o secu that it has kept pace with the wou- derful development of the city in which it is published.

Aurora Sun: The Ovana Bee is twenty years old, It is not quite of age yet, buv is the ablest minor in the newspaper line in the west. Its acheivements would do honor to a hundregd years of toil and enterprise in the newspaper line.

Tho papor was established by its prosent editor, Mr. Rosewater, and has boen steadily pushéd to the front until now itis the leading nows- paper of the great west. Mr. Rosowater's political methods may be a little peculiar— Dk BEE'S contomporaries say they arc—but e Bk is a groat nowspaper, and it has been crowded to the head of the newspaper procession by the indomintable plucic and business enterprise of its editor, until it stauds without u rival in the west. Sioux County Journal: Tik Ovana Bee has entered its twenty-fiest birthday, and on its birthday reproduced a portion of 'the fist issuc of Tiie Bee. It was a five-column two page sheet and tho press work s “rocky” ws any sheot issued in a western town.” Tho growth of the enterprise nas kept pace with the development of the state and the city of Omaha, and toduy T Bir is one of the leading newspapers. During the twenty vears of 1ts existence, regardless of politicat or personel differences, Tie B has over aavocated the advancement of braska and has done much to assist in the rapid development of the state, and no ode envies it the success it hus attained, Columbus Journal: Tue Oyana Bek has just_celebrated its twonticth birthday by publishing a fac similo of tho tirst page of the paper as it appeared u score of yeurs wgo We remembor when it was a gratiitous ad vertising sheet, but Rosewater found ho hud an aptitude for' the newspaper business and Omaha was likowise a good fleld for the dis play of his talent, and 50 it buppens that Tik Bek is probably the groatest newspaper between Chicago and San Fraveisco, with a ndid _office home, & verituble priutors' pulace, What triumphs aro in store for Tur Bre only the future can toll, bu cer ¢ the present is rose colored Wheu Baby wan sick, we gave her Ceatoris, for Castoria, When she became Miss, she elung to Castoria, Whien shie had Clildren, she gave tom Castoriz, When ahe was & Child, she eried From a little begrimed | v believe thut such a | PAGES ONE ENJOY | Both the method and results when Syrup of Figs is taken; it is pleasant and refreshing to the taste, and acts i tly yet promptly on the Kidneys, iver and Bowels, cleanses the sys- | tem effectually, dispels colds, head- aches and fevers and curcs habitual constipation.
