boiled under temperature of l25 de
grees to produce crystalization.
This plan presents the scorching o
burning Of the huid. The vacuum pal
was introduced into the manufactor,
after an unsatisfactory trial OF pans owe
fire. The machinery of the vacuum
pan Is very intricate and costly, bu
perfect satisfaction is rendered. Th'
juice comes In reduced state from th'
vacuum pan and is placed in larg'
square copper vessels resting upoI
wheels. II iB then rolled into o room
where the temperature ia kept up Il
about l20 degrees, where 1t Is left thre'
or four daya to crystalize. The mex
operation is to put the half crystalizeC
half fluid mass through machine call
I'd the centrifugal, and oval shaped re
ceptacls. The centrifugal is placed up
on single upright spindle which re
wolves 100 times In minute.
The great velocity OF the osntrifuga
sends of the refuse fluid through I
ssiye lining, while the crystalizet
particles remain adhering to the insid'
OF the centrifugal and become raw suga
ready for the refinery. 1t is then taker
from the centrifugal and placed II
hogshsads ready for shipping to thu
sugar refneries.
1t is the intention of the company
only to manufacture raw sugar. The
company is fully convinced that the en-
terprise will pay, and they are nov
preparing to enlarge their works to the
capacity Of one hundred or two hun
dred tons of beets per day, which for a
season of rs days, which is the usual
running time for the season, would re-
quire about 10000 tons OF bsets. They
having been paying "a per ton for beets
delivered, at the same rate, $4S, 5000
would be expended next fall for beets.
This is of interest to Delaware farmers,
as it opens up to them new industry,
and one in which there Ia more money
than an uncertain peach crop, and much
mere than in sure wheat or corn crop.
Mr.. Il. C. Fsunimore Of Appoquini-
mink took the premium for raising the
most beets from the acre the past year.
His record was twenty-six tons for
which he received $l04 besides the
premium. Ten tons to the acre will
beat a corn crop and fully equal wheat
crop. The success Of the beet sugar
manufacturing enterprise will depend
upon the culture of the beet and how
many Delaware farmers will engage in
it. Without bests the manufacture Of
sugar must cease and under these cir
cumstances the manufacturers are ex-
ceedingly anxious chat farmers should
engage more in the culture of the beet
There is one thing more in connec-
tion with the enterprise which we have
not yet referred to and that is the excel
lent food the pulp of the beet makes for
milch cattle. The pulp meets with a
ready sale to farmers at one dollar a
ton and twice the quantity could have
been sold to the farmers n the imme-
diate vicinity Of the works il it had
been on hand to sell. When the works
are run to consume $50 tons day the
pulp will be no inconsiderable item.
AS farmers who raise and sell the beets
ship them to the mandatory they can
'tipulate that all the pulp of their own
beets can be returned to them for feed
'or their cattle.
Mr.. Lobdell, the President of the
used q car load of the pulp
lay for his cattle, and it is said that 1t
pays in the increase and richness OF
milk better than grain fed to cattle.
should the enterprise be carried on to
he extent, which now seems probable,
t will encourage stock raising in the |
State, and consequent enrichment of
he land. From whatever standpoint
he question is viewed, the stockholders
# the company are encouraged with
he prospect, and nothing will be left
lndoue TO place the beet culture and
he manufacture of sugar from beets
.mongst the leading industries of Del
ware.
