Healtby-Peultry Notes.

Before the late war more sugar was pro-
duced in Louisiana than in Germany. As
late as 1871 Germany produced 1S6. 442 tons.
Since the war the sugar industry has been
depressed in a very small area of Louisiana
eligible to the growth of sugar cane. while
the enormous increase of the beet sugar in.
dustry in Europe was from 1,051 $50 tons
in 1871, 10 1862 1876 tons in 1889, growth
of yearly output of $40, 1856 tons, and from
the third of the sugar producing countries
in Europe 10 the winter of 1S7l72 Ger
many in 1888 81, had risen not only to the
frat place. but actually produced more than
one-third of all the sugar of Europe.
Germany holds the first rank in sugar
production. In 1s71-72 it was but 1856, 442
tons; from 1880 81 it took an ascending
turn, and attained 1, LAG 100 tons In 1884 IS,
1,023, $50 tons 10 1856 81, and 959, 1l6 tons
last year. The next crop is estimated at
$4,000 tons. If the actual crop is COM
pared with the ones of 1S71.72, it is seen
that it gives on this last an excess OF 788 55S
tons, thus an increase Of 400 per cent; be-
sides, Gsrmany's production forms o-day
36 43 per cent. of the total production of
Europe, whilst eighteen years ago it only
represented II 70 per cent. of this produc-
ton. The production in &c. many devel.
oped itself rapidly, and faster than in any
other country.
Austria. Hungary in 187I-72 produced
240, 420 tons of sugar; in 1883 SO will have
produced 525 600 tons. The increase is 2s4 :.
$50 tons, or LIS PEI cent. The Austria.
Hungary production represented in 1871 72
% IS per cent. of the European production;
in 1883 80 it represented 10 y per cent. 1t
was in 1884 So that Austria. Hungary at.
tanned its maximum, 677 900 tons.
France produced 1S7l-72, 1856 352 tons, and
in 1SS5-S9. 900 tons. Thus an increase
of l3S 648 tons, or Al per cent. The French
production forms but II 80 per cent. of the
European production. instead of 81 80 per
cent in 1S7l.72 The French production
attained its maximum in 1886 81, SOC, 1884
tons.
Russia in 1S71-72, only produced III 2S3
tons of sugar; in 1850 it produced 500.
600 tons-an increase of 1928 III tons, or 19l
per cent. The Russian production repre-
SCENTS to-day Is IS per cent. of the European
production, instead of 16 80 per cent
eighteen years ago. 1t was in 1856 that
Russia attained its maximum of produc.
ton, 52S. $50 tons.
Belgium, in 1S71-72, produced "a BIC
tons. The crop of 1SSS-S9 is estimated al
lbs, 400 tons. thus an increase of 80 Del
cent. The Belgium production forms 81
per cent. of the European production
against 90 per cent. in 1S71-72
Holland produced, in 187l-72, 1852;
tons, and in 1Sss-S9, 3S 800 tons, an in
crease of 1877 tons, or 10S per cent. The
production of Holland represents 43 pei
cent. of the European production, agalns
175 per cent. in lS7I-72
Denmark and Sweden, which appear
among the producing beet sugar countrie.
only since 1874, enter in the actual pro
duction for 25,0o0 tons, thus 094 per cent
Italy and the sundry countries have only
production of SAY tons. thus "a PEI
cent. of the total production.
Here is the comparison for 1S7I-72 ant
1859.
