to which is conveyed all the refuse
much in the same manner that our
Lancaster county distillers feed their
hogs, and with equal advantage aud
as the works are carried on daily, from
early in month Of November until A.
priI, or indeed later, if the stock OF
beets holds out. The cattle and sheep
thus stall fed, are sold to great advan-
tage.
In our state most Of our farmers
make considerable quantities OF cider,
and have their own cider press and
mill. This apparatus, without any
change, will answer, for making sugar,
on a small scale, and the apple.butter
and wash kettles will answer as well
for boilers Of the beet juice, as they do
in the Western and Northern parts Of
Pennsylvania TO boil the maple juice,
where the iron boiler is generally used,
and not found to discolor the sugar, as
many people suppose. The iron boz
Ter is sot used because it is preferred
to the copper !; but as matter OF e
coaomy the latter being expensive |;
and ss the pure, fresh sacharine mat
ter, believe contains no active acid,
it cannot be colored by the iron /; and
If i, did contain an acid, the using cop
per boilers would be more objectiona>
BILE, the oxide OF copper being an ac-
tive poison, the oxide of iron, on the
contrary, being harmless.
The present improved cider press.
with the cast iron screw, ! have no
doubt will answer very well the bark
mill, wnhthe. teeth cut Rne, may be
fouad valuable substitute for the ap.
ple-mill., We shall ia. this particular,
OBTAIN valuable Information from the
Philadelphia Company, and however
perfect the French machinery may be
considered at present. no part Of. 1t
will stand the test OF Yankee ingenuity
1.-The whole apparatus and machinery
will be altered, amended, improved
and simpllfed, under a hundred pa
tent rights for, mills, presses, boilers,
steam evaporaters, CHARTERS, percola-
,srs, &c. &c. 10 fact, We shall repay
our debt Of gratitude to France for the
information obtained from her,in Yam
kee improvements, which French in
genuily would rarely If ever reach.
Perhaps no country possesses equal
advantages with our own for prosecu.
ting this wanufacture 10 advantage.
The French peasantry are renters, that
is slaves to the great land holders, and
have no capital.-The American far
mer, is, as yet, Notwithstanding the
host OF monopoisers with which he is
bes. on all sides, ahe proprietor and
lord of the soil. He has capitalip his
farm, and in his industry, which is al
SO his own. There are none so poor,
that .canno, avail himself of soms Of the
advantages to be realized from The cul.
liyation Of the beet, or the produce of
the silk worm, or both. The manufac-
turing Of sugar and feeding stock will
give employment to his people during
the winter, when otherwise they would
be idle. j BY the time the labor Of the
Spring ought to commence, the stock
of Bee,s is resdy-for the market in the
form .cf sugar, AMI the ofil 10 fac beel
and uutton. We shall, in this as in
every thing else, have the fingers Of the
monopolisers lhrust,into the dish OF
Industry. Under pretence OF: encour-
aging the cultivation of the Beet, and
the manufacture Of sugar, we shall
have, as in, the, case of the silk Gull
ture, joint stock companies, With large
capitals, monopplizing the business
and forcing the Farmer, as in France,
to sell his beets tothem by the 100 lbs.
or by the ton. We shall have apph-
cation TO. our Legislature for acts Of
incorporation for Beet Banks aud Sa-
gar Banks as well as FOR Leather Binks
and Lumber Banks, that the dealers in
paper money and spectators may
come 10 for SHARE of the farmers
