J _ _ H delayed in construction by various

_ _ _ | turning out the finished product.
_ _ H It was found that the beets which !
_ _ | were stored in pits all winter
_ _ _ | against the completion of the fac-
_ _ H tory came out in the spring in al-
_ _ H most perfect condition. Next fall
_ _ H the factory will begin a campaign
_ _ _ _ as soon as the beets are ready.
_ _ H Then by storing all the crop that
_ _ H cannot be handled at once it will
_ _ H be possible to continue in opera-

Now that the assessor has been
around again one is reminded of
the fact that the farmer bears more
than his share of taxation , all his
property being in sight. In the
majority of cases he has no desire
to hide any of ic , but a squint at the
assessor's book reveals a state of
ubsent mindedness that's more than
amusing.
As a great deal of corn , last
year , was planted late and failed
to ripen , there is a tendency every
where to plant very early , this
spring. This may not prove to
be the best , for last year's condi
tions may not be repeated. But
few people have any faith in the
moon but prefer to wait until the
soil has attained a certain degree
of temperature before any planting
is done.
No one has a patent on farming
either good or bad. All that he
does is out in plain view , for eery
passerby to see and talk abont.The
farmer cannot take his fields into
the house or conceal them back of
the barn , and odd as it may seem
the writer derives much pleasure
from the comments of the many
who go back and forth and in loud
voices exchange ideas as to how
this or that should be done. A
certain patch of rye which looks
well for so early in the seuson has ]
been a thorn in the side as it were :

not long ago as a train of hog .

Not only acute lung troubles , ivhich may'
