Report by M. lie Vicomte Debonnalre
de Git, Comnissary. (aPPo'nted Tor
the purpose.) on small manusac-
tory Of Sugar from the Beet Root.
established by Jean Joseph Iecert,
Farmer, in the Commune Of Onna-
ing, ACCOMPLISHMENT of NaIencicn-
mes, Department Of the North.
GentIemcn-The cultivation in
France Of the Beet Root is destined
40 exercise an immense influence on
agricultural and manufac turing indus
try. =.
II the Sugar extracted from this
root is valuable product, the resi-
due, for cattle, is Z resource still
more precious. These advantages
begin to be appreciated, for at the
1st Of Jannary, 1886, the sugar from
the beet root already formed a third
part Of the sugar consumed IN France
and we then numbered more than
four hundred and fifty establishments
or manufacturers of Indigenous sugar.
Bat, in order that this culture may
completely produce all the good
which we could expect from it. 1t is
not sufficient that the farmer should
find market for his roots at great
Establishments where they will be
converted into sugar. He must EN-
plOy some less expensive and easy
mode Of fabricating sugar by means
Of which he can himself, in the man
agcmcnt Of his farm, j. C. by do
nestle mode, make his own sugar,
and thus possess the means of rem
dcring profitable all the residue from
his beet roots by applying i, as food
for his cattle.
You have just now established
premiums or prizes in favor OF the
friends Of agriculture who shall have
accomplished these objects; 4 special
commission is charged TO examine
them and ascertain their value.
a farmer on small scale Jean
Joseph LcccrO Of Onnaing, Arron
basement Of Valenciennes, depart
ment Of the North, has anticipated
this appeal. In the buildings of his
farm he has established his factory
which is composed of but two depart
ments; one of them seventeen fee
square. the other seven feet square
(English). His machinery for iabri
eating is placed in the first apartment
and consists-1st, of 4 rasp turned
with crank by hand-od. of han,
press doth Of wood )-3d. three small
iron kettles, each one sufficient t.
contain twenty-five to thirty gallons
(Eng'ish). ltl, three tilterers OF same
capacity as the kettles.
In the other apartment are tw'
kettles ofcopper, of about the capaci
~ Of twenty gallons each (English)-
one used for evaporation. the othe
for crystaIizing. In the same small
apartment are ranged mouIds for thu
reception Of tie sugar. The price
ofall these fixtures or apparatus is no
above one hundred and seventvtiv'
dollars.
The manufacture Of brown sugar a
this establishment is fifty killogram
mes. o. one hundred and ten pound
(English) of brown sugar per day.
NJ. Lecerf. who possesses only TIT
little property where his works ar,
located. devotes himself To j; with In,
aid of his family alone; and far from
desiring to make Il mystery of his in
strumen,s and the process. he is cage
to communicate them to all his coun
trymen. The sugar which come
from this factory has been. by one Q
the most celebrated reiiners, NJ. lie
baudy. acknowledged to be OF per
feet quality.
These facts have been attested I,
usby the local authorities. and by tn
Count De.i,,c. deputy of the dePar,
nent of the Seine and Disc. and b,
Nj. Daunan;. deputy of the depar,
mcnt of the north, who both. 4 shor
time since. visited this small factor,
