The Beet Sugar Industry.

A couple of months ago eX-Gov. War
moth, of Louisiana, and t. L. Spencer
Esq, of the Bureau OF Agriculture, went
to Germany tor the purpose of investi-
eating the process of making beet sugar,
and to discover if the beet sugar industry
could be made profitable in this country
also, whether the diffusion method en-
| ployed for ttle extraction of sugar from
beets could be successfully applied tos
gar cane Theyreturnedt to this couWtry
on last Sunday.
Gov. Warmoth said that the German
Government, and also the French Gov
| ernment, had subsidized the Manufac-
ture. of beet sugar up to a point where it
does not pay the cost of production.
The price OF beet. sugar in London is
about 81. 80 a lhundred-weight, while the
cost OF producing it in Germany is $6 a
hundred-weight, But sugar is much
cheaper in England than in Germany,
the place of production. The cause of
this is that the subsidy which the gov
ernment gives is in the form of rebate
of the sugar tax on all the sugar that is
exported. The tendency is to cause the
greater part of the sugar to be exported.
OF coarse the beet sugar industry cannot
prosper under present conditions. Either
there must be an Improvement in the
price of sugar or there must be a reduc-
ton ia the cost Of production
Messrs. Warmoth and Spencer salts
fled themselves about one thing. 1t is
that the. system of diffusion can be APP
piled tosugar cane. The cane, however,
will hawe to be cut into slices instead OF
being ground BY the present method
of treating sugar cane a very large per
cent. of the'sugar is lost. BY the system
OF diffusion no part of the sacharine mat
ter will be lost. Experiments with the
diffusion system are to be made at once
on Coy. Warmoth's plantation by the
Agricultural Bureau.-EG.

leaving the government with handsome
balance in its hands at the end of the dis
play, instead of a deficit. The English
Government has just given notice that
the next in its series of exhibitions will be
one held in the fall OF 1855 to be devoted
to the subject of invention and to form.

Manuaang Fruit Trees.

1t is singular how long some fallacics
retaintheir hcgd even after they have
been disproped by facts, and of these.
one OF the most mischievous is the he
lief that fruit trees and bushes are liable
TO injury rather than benefit from the
application OF manure. All sorts OF dis
eases, such as canker and other ailnsents
to Which aruit trees are liable, are set
down as the result of applying manure
TO the roots; whereas, in nine cases out
OF ten, 1t arises from poverty of the soil ,
causing the roots to. run down into the

complaints from. owners OF fruit trees as
to Their unsatisfactory condition and on

Kind; nothing but large, thOrn-elke roots

nsElng or top-dressing had not been
practiced for many years, their owners
having come to the conclusion that such
practices were dangerous Lido not saw
that manure will prove to be cure for
feuit tree ailments Of all kinds, but will
'5rlefiy detail a few facts that have come
nnder my observation at various times,
TO prove that starvation of the roots is
anore prolific source of injury than abun-
with solid and liquid manures, and
growers must form their own conclusions
as to the best course to pursue. The
fruitful or unfruitful state OF the orchard
trees IN nine cases out of ten is entirely
dependent on the attention which they
receive, as regards manuring. In the
trult-growing parts of Kent, where large
orchards of standard trees planted on
grass land is the rule, it is we'll estab- |
lshed fact that if the grass is cut for hay |
and carried away the trees soon become |
unfrultful and die out; while on the con- |
trary, If the grass.is fed-off, so that the |
nutrlment is returned to the roots in the
shape OF manure, the trees keep fruitful
and healthy. | have seen some of the
most moss-grown, miserable specimens
OF starved orchard trees restored to a
