Beet sugar beats NOuntryman'
The beet sugar works, Portland, are now
running at their full capacity. and large
quantity of crude sugar is produced. About
thirty tons of melado was taken to the Bos
ton steamer freight offices Monday, and
shipped on the John Brooks Monday night to
Boston, where the refining is to be done.
The article is quite curiosity. 1t is trans
ported in large iron tanks, which remain UNI
covered 1t is solid and resembles molasses
sugar just taken from hogshead, except that
it is thicker. From its appearance one would
imagine that it would not taste so very bad,
but on the contrary one touch of the tongue is
enough for person with stomach of aver
age strength.
As the tanks sat in the freight house
many persons out of curiosity put small
pieces in their mouths, and it was really
amusing to witness the promptness with
which they made up their minds that it didn't
taste good. One man from the country
walked up to a .ank and remarked to a by
stander, who had just informed him what the
article was,
"Wall, now, / reckon that perhaps raised
some of the beets that that sugar was made
Of" No reply except a look of interest
from the crowd which had gathered.
81 wonder what the stuff tastes like any
way" said the countryman after a careful sur
vey of the big receptacle from all points of
view. Looking to see if he was observed by
the freight officers, he dug out a huge piece,
nearly as large as hens egg and closed his
mouth over it. He took good long suck of
the delicious morsel and then his stomach re-
belled Making his way with celebrity to the
side of the dock he threw the sugar into the
water and perforce his dinner with it. That
sugar beat him. Advertiser.
