BEET SUGAR IN TIE WEST.

We are surprised that the present high
prices Of sugar have not already induced
our capitalists to introduce into the
United States the manufacture of sugar
from the beet especially as the success of
this manufacture is established beyond all
preadventure in France, as well as Germa-
ny and Russia. 1t Is no new thing, no
pretended discovery, but a branch OF
manufacture which has attained such
vast extension as not only to produce su-
gar enough for home consumption in
those countries, but large quantities for
export, especially in Germany. trU
The price of sugar in the United States
will probably remain high. The tariff is
not likely to be reduced, for the reason
that the duty on foreign sugar PRODUCES
a very large portion of the entire custom.
house revenue. The cultivation of the
sorghum may, in the course of timc, be-
come matter of some Importance for
home manufacture, and may be made to
supply the producers family with sugar.
But it is question whether there will
ever be surplus from this source which
will tend TO check the Importance of su,
gar from foreign countries, The average
quantity of syrup or sugar obtained frpm7
well-cultivated acre of sorghum IS but
small, when compared with the average
product of beets and we are yet to learu
to what extent the manufacture of sugar
from sorghum can be made profitable
Despite the high prices of sugars during
the last four years-long since the intro
duction of sorghum-which have offered
inducements for experimenting the manu- !,
facture from it on large scale, there is
still no proof of its being feasible on
the other hand, the manufacture of sugar
from the sugar beet has long since been a
WE'LL established branch of industry in
the countries above mentioned BY which
not only the projectors and stockholders
have amassed princely fortunes, giving at
the same time employment to thousands,
but it has also contributed to Keep the
balance of trade in favor of those coun-
tries. 1t may yet render the same service
to the United States.
To form an idea Of the extent to which
the manufacture of beet sugar has been
carried in Germany, we will state that Off
eial statistics show 1902 factories, in ZOll-
we're in and Austria, to have manufactured
in one season, from :, ,435, 900 tons of beets,
9 quantity of sugar amounting to $50, ,0OO.-
600 of pounds In Prussia proper, POI
factories consumed 1,700,G00 tons of beets.
from which 1862, 100000 pounds of sugar
were made. Most of the manufactories
of Prussia, at least three .fourths of them,
are located in circuit of country of
about the size Of two ordinary counties,
in which comparatively small territory
there is now produced, annually the inn
mense quantity of 250,000,000 pounds of
sugar, representing value Of upward of
$50, ,000,000. 'asal 0oef Is 'a-

GATHERING AND KEEPING
APPLIES.

In order to secure soundness and preserva-
tlon, 1t is iEdispensably necessary that the
fruit should be gathered by hand. For
winter fruit the gathering is delayed as long
as possible, avoiding severe frcsts, and :he
most successful practice with our extensive
orchardists is to place the good fruit direct
ly in n careful manner in new, tight flour
barrels, as soon as gathered from the tree
These barrels should be gently shaken while
filling, and the head closely pressed in they
are then placed in cool, shady exposure,
under shed open to the air, or on tie north
side OF building, protected by q covering
OF boards on the top where they remain for
fortnight, or until the cold bee mes too
severe, when they are carefully transferred
to a cool, dry cellar, in which air can be
admitted occasionally in brisk weather.
\ cellar for this purpose should be dug
In Cry, Sravclly or sandy soil, with, il posi-
bic, slope to the north, or, at any rate,
with openings on the north side for the adj
mission of air very rarely in weather not
excessively cold. Here the barrels should
be placed on their sides, and the cellar
should be kept as dark as possible. In such a
cellar one of the largest apple growers in
Duchess county is able to keep the Green
ing apple, which, in the fruit room, usually
decays in January, until the first of April,
in the freshest and finest condition. Some
persons place a layer of clean rye straw
between each layer of apples when packing
them in 3aIrCls.-DOnRihg.
