most complete set of implements for the
cultivation ola crop; drill that Is perfect,
to sow three rows, or FIVE ifpreferred, with
hoes, &c.. of most simple and effective
kinds; by these he Is enabled to cultivate
several thousands of acres of land in war;
Gus parts of the country, his largest farm
being 4 miles distant from hence where |
have seen his stock of oxen, sheep and
mich COWS and farming horses, all fed on
the cake and refuse of the sugar house
and cut chaff to a wonderful proft-The
cake which they arenow using is months
old, preserved in magazines of which |
have plan, where it remains perfectly
sweet for nine months of the year 1t cuts
out quite hard and is perfectly vinous to
the smell. Mr. c., at this and his other
works prepared in 1885 two millions and
thirty thousands pounds of Sugar, and ex-
poets next year to make three millions
the whole expense offabrication, including
rent Of premises, ware and tear of machi-
merry, interest of capital, &c. has been At

THE roots grow large here upon land
of first quality, fine deep red loan; l
shall be able to introduce system of ma
nagement which is truly excellent Here
is a saying, the Beet culture is at the foun-
daton ofall good husbandry,' and so it is;
the best crops in the country are raised
after one, two, three and even four crops
Of Beet, which are not dunged for general
ly. They do not exhaust the soil, but
their autumns are terribly against them
in taking up and housing, compelling them
to leave them in the fields in pits where
they are not protected by any thing but a
covering of earth from the winters rains
Fifty pounds of the cake mixed with one
ID. OF oil cake* are sufficient for the keep
ing often sheep for day, given to thems so
that 100 lbs of Beets, value rs cts. give 6
lbs. Sugar A lbs. Molasses, and rs lbs
Cake, and sufficient food tor fatting large
sheep per-day.'
Arras, April AT Valenciennes
and the neighborhood there were, three
years ago, thirteen sugar manufactures
now there are sixty four! Land which
was worth 500 f. an arpent will now bring
1900, labor has very much risen, and
never, in any country, did l witness such
excellent farming. The residuum from
the sugar houses is extremely rich, as {
manure, and this, they are now spreading
on their young crops Of clover, which arr
prodigiously fourishing they do no
manure for the Beet, but for the preceding
crop, and one half the expence Of hoeinE
and cleaning the Beet is charged the fol
lowing crop, which is so much benefitte'
by the operations"
But the cultivation Of the beet embra
ces three grand and distinct objects; Is
the making of sugar, I'd the feeding Of cat
tie, Sd the improvement of agriculture o
rather of husbandry, either Of these is c
vast Importance; together, they form
whole, which | have no fear about, le
competition come from what quarter
may"
ArrGs, April 22.-"I have said that tn
Beet root sugar business is becoming {
the gratest importance to the whole cont
nent; as proof that it is so, there is not
coppersmth or iron founder in this depar
ment of France who has not more order
= for machinery than he can execute On
in this town, who employs 800 wcrkme
in copper, brass, and iron, has orders fc
two years to come, chiefly in the suga
machinery for foreign Countries
Id ''Mr c.. has two farms near, both
m which | visit; he will have 400 acres
n Beets on these this year; here are man
- hundred acres of wheat after Beets, clea
,e as garden, but the rotation is not goo
n spring corn is preferable"
