IheGerman improvement over theFrench
method Of making beet sugar, a patent af.
iaIr IN Europe, consists simply in drying the
6eets. which are then reduced 10 powder by
grinding, and changed into decoclon Ey
adding water. The experiment has been
thoroughly tried by MR ZAcHARIAHW WIZ
DER, Of this town, which resulted in CON-
Piets success. MIR. w. by this process W hich,
we understand, is as simple as that OF max.
ing cup OF tea from aromatic herbs, has
succeeded in extracting ten per cent of sugar
from the crude beet-and he is onfident that
al least t,nslUe per cent can te obtained at
another experiment. For his efforts in pros
ecuting his experiments 10 signal SUCCESS,
Mr.. Wilder deserves the unqualified thanks
OF the agricultural world. The resuI, of his

the process again. The dried powd der of The
beet was found 10 yield its saccharine imme-
diately, as The decoction was found 10 be as
sweet as boiled maple syrup, the moment the
water was added TO the powder The means
used for The Qualification OF The decoction
were very simple. Charcoal and lime
were the only agents employed. This
emInently successful experiment proves the
TACT, that the immensely important article Of
sugar can be manufactured by any intelligent
farmers household, as easily as bread, pies,
or cakes can be made & baked. A rich gar
den spot OF quarter OF an acre, can produce
beets enough TO make thousand pounds of
sugar; no heavy capital or incorporated COM
pany re- required TO carry on the business
Every individual can make pound Of sugar
