BEET SUGAR.

A company has been formed in Phil.
adelphia for the purpose Of introdu,
cling the manufacture of sugar from the
Beet, and has seat a gentleman TO
France, to acquire practical knowi-
edge of the whole process We may
therefore expect to have,in few weeks,
such body Conformation to lay be-
fore our readers, that every farmer,who
chooses, may manufacture his own su-
gar and molasses,at very tritling cost.
The Beet preferred in France, is
called the Silesian Beet, which is mere
ly variety of our common garden
beet, and possesses no great advantage
over the others even the coarse Mon
gold Wurzsl has been, used with profit.
The process is as simple as that Of ma
king the sugar from the maple, end
any one acquainted with boiling the Ii
quor down to syrup and granting the
maple sugar, will be at no loss in con-
Quoting Beet Sugar mandatory.
Every farmer is acquainted with the
method of caltiyating the beet. The
improved plan of the French farmers
differs very little from our own. They
SOW in drills, about II to 80 inches
apart, thinning the plants to about 5
inches in the drills, taking care TO keep
them clean.
The time Of harvesting is before the
setting in Of frost, when the roots are
taken up and carefully packed away,
where aeither frost nor Wet can reach
them. Then commences the manu-
facture. A quantity Of beets are weigh.
ed or measured out, sufficient to sup-
ply juice to fill the kettles, for one
boiling. These having the offal Of
leaves, &c., removed, are washed
clean, aud ground TO fine pomace, in
mill driven by steam, water or ami
NAL power, and as fast. as delivered
from the mill, conveyed to the press,
from which the expressed liquid flows
into a reservoir, from which il 10 pun
ped into small .roaghs, aud discharg
ed into The boilers, which are built 10
orick work, convenient TO the mill and
press. The AIT of boiling requires ex
perience and care but as nave said
before, any one acquainted with ma
King sugar from the maple, will be full
.ly competent, with a littIe instruction
IN the economy ofthe process, TO man
ufacture The Beet Sugar.
The next matter TO be considered is
the use TO which the ofal islo be ap-
plied-lhat is, the pressed pomace, and

The Quebec papers still continue to
complain of tic drought. On Sunday,
the Gath ult. fight rain fell, but too
late to revive the hay crop on light
soils, where it has persisted. One Of
the most unps,lal effects Of the drought,
says The Quebec Gazette of Monday
week, has been the witberiag OF seve-
raj forest trees; in the woods the
ground is strewed with fallen leaves, as
at the commencement Of autumn. All
kinds Of wild fruit are dried up. The
young epples have dried and fallen of.
the trees, several of which have with
cred. Berries and other garden fruits
are diminutive and Of little value, and
the bushes injured by caterpillars. All
kinds OF cultivated vegetables have run
up to seed without the usual quantity
Of leaves and.roots. A drought pro-
dacing such effects is not recolected
by the odes. inha bilants of this part
Of Canada.
