Rect and Corn Sugar.

The citizens of the West have turned thef
attention to the production of domestic sugar.
IN most localities they are not favored with the
sugar maple, and consequently other sources
were sought out from which to derive supply
of this necessary article. In 1887, company
was formed at White Pigeon, Michigan, for
the manufacture of Beet Sugar. The deep,
light soil of the beautiful prairie upon which
this village is located, and of the surrounding
country, were peculiarly adapted to the culti-
yatOn OF the beet. In aid of this enterprise,
the Legislature granted loan Of 5000 in the
winter of 1889. The necessary buildings were
erected, and the apparatus procured, and 2O0,-
coo lbs, were produced in the year succeeding.
Since that time, other manufactures, on less
extensive scale have been established, in various
parts of the Western country. But a ncw
discovery has been madc-that of producing
sugar from corn. 1t is considered a more pro-
iitaolc business than that of producing 1t from
beets, in consequence otthc more simple ma
chinery whchis required to extract the slccha-
rinc matter, and convert i. into sugar. Ex-
porments to test its practicability are in pre-
paraton throughout the West. The Kalama-
zoo Gazette has an advertisement OF a mill
which is constructed for the purpose of extract
ing the Juice from the stalk.-The Nashville
Banner has notice of the process Of manutlc-
turing in that region. The cost of a mill is
stated to be six dollars. The juice can be
made into sugar as readily as the sap from the
maple. Corn standing in the field may be cut,
ground mp, and converted into an elegant syrup
in 3 or 1 hours. The writer thinks he car
make sixty gallons of molasscs per acre, which
at the retailing prices in that neighborhood, wi.
afford profit of2S or 30 dollars.
