Beet-ROOt Sugar.

! Lee and Shepard of Boston have just pub
/ lished neat volume of 100 pages, written
/ by f. b. Grant, and devoted to a discussion
of the production of bcet-root sugar. The
book is an exhaustive treatise upon the sub
ject. 1t shows the precariousncss Of the
present supply of sugar, and the necessity
I that this country should not be largely de-
pendent upon foreign countries for Its supply
( of SO necessary an article, as, in case of war
with England or France, the price of sugars
would enormously advance, if We depended
upon importation for our consumption as
much as now. The writer then shows the
necessary cost of producing beet-root sugar,
as manufactured in France, to be less than four
cents pound. He also makes estima te
by which he shows that capital of $780,
900 judiciously employed, in such a state as
Illinois, in the manufacture of this sugar,
would Weld return of fifty per cent. annu-
allv. The sugar can be made equal in quality
to the best produced from cane Fifry-fve
per cent. of the whole traffic in sugars in
France is confined to beet-root sugars. No
other is used in Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Ores
the statistics respecting the manufacture of
the sugar, and treating the methods of pro-
ducing it. the writer closes the volume as
follows
The introduction of beet sugar manufac-
ture into the United States would be of great
benefit to farmers. 1t would insure to them
superior methods of agriculture, increased
crops, more remunerative prices, home mar
kets. and enhanced value of farms. 1t
would create industry and diversity labor,
thereby increasing the general prosperity,
intelligence and happiness of the community.
1t would eventually reduce the prices of SUI
gar, of bread, and of meat, and render the
United States more Independent of foreign
countries.
The writer says the beet can be successfully
cultivated as far north as fifty-two degrees in
this country, and in Europe it is cultivated
successfully far north sixty degrees.
There is undoubtedly nothing in the climate
or soil of Vermont uniavorable to the pro-
duction and manufacture of beet sugar, and
our farmers would do well to examine this
treatise and make the experiment of produ-
cling sugars enough for the State. With our
maple orchards. and fine farms, there seems
to be no need of bringing into this State
every year so many thousand tons OF foreign
sugars.
