industry. Onupthi, III MS ooSSiNa'iO"s v"
this manufacture, states that the greater part
of the establishments first set on foot in
France had been given up, after having &C.
casoned loss 10 the proprletors. But he
says, must remark that this new branch
of industry, like all others, requires some
knowledge and apprenticeship, II needs to
be conducted by men accustomed TO similar
operations; and it is not all surprising that
these have not been everywhere found.
1t is impossible 10 mention any kind Of
manufacture amongst those that have sue
ceeded whose perfection has been attained
at once
The conductor of the Genesee Farmer, in
treating OF this subject observes as follows:
Whether the climate Of the Middle States
is as favorable 10 the Sugar Beet, as the north
of France, may be question. We have
lately been told, though we know not on
what authority, that the Beet in the South of
France, Yields but little If any sugar But
be that as it may, the report (of Mr. Pedder)
would seem to favor such conclusion, for il
appears that a much greater proportion of
sacchrine matter is obtained in Siberia, than
in the north OF France From these premi-
SEES fair inference would be that the Gen.
esee country is better adapted to the Sugar
Beet, than the neighborhood of Philadelphia :;
and that the climate Of Vermont and Lower
Canada is more genial than our own.
Some attempts have been lately made in
this country TO extract Sugar from the Beet
without success, but after reading the Report,
we have not been surprised at,he result In
one case at least the common beet was en-
ployed. Much depends on the sort. howev.
-r, and even the yetiow Sugar Beet which
we have grown in years past, for the table,
on account Of its sweetness, is rejected in all
the large establishments in France. The
rose-coiored. and the white Sileasian. are the
kinds cultivated
The maturity Of the Beet is another i'm
porlant requisite; and there are other points
on which an inexperienced manufacturer
would be likely to err. 1t appears from the
Report that when the root is reduced 10 a
pulp. no time should be lost in submitting il
to the press, as fermentation commences al
most simultaneously. To check this, lime
is prepared SO as to be of the consisen-
cy OF cream, and then most intimately mix
ed with the juice Animal carbon is also
employed during the evaporating and clar-
flying processes, &c.
But we have no doubt OF the eventual sue
cess Of this manufacture; we would merely
caution those who are disposed to embark in
1t, not TO be too sangulne nor precipltate.-
They cannot, however. raise too many Of the |
beets, as they are perhaps, the best root.
which can be cultivated for feeding cattle,
&c. and if we ale not prepared TO make beet
sugar, we may make beef. butter, &C.. from1
the same article, which we hope will eventu-
ally give us abundant supplies Of sugar.

her to keep the beaux at a respectful dis

She was highly delighted with one gallant

proof that such was bis opinion, by slipping
the delightful nectar from her pouting lips. |

Neio Herb for Catae.--We find in
French paper an account Of a new plant, the
name of which is not given, lately introdu-
ced into England, as forage for cattle 1t
was discovered growing on the shores of
Hudson's Bay. This northern plant posses
ses the popularity Of sending out a new
sprout as soon as it is cut, thus keeping up
supply for the whole season. 1t bears the
most rigorous winters. it affords a most nu-
trcious food for cattle. and flonrishes best in
cold and damp ground The English farm
ers look upon it as an important acquisition
