A. b. Clark, OF Lincoln county, knoss
how to make sugar from bee,s. The
Leader saws:
''lt may be of interest 70 the farmers
OF Lincoln county TO know that a Mich
igsn farmer has demonstrated that sugar
can be manufactured from beets without
any expensive machinery. He simply
grated the beets. pressed out the juice
with cider press and boiled it as you
would boil the sap of the sugar maple.
During the process OF boiling, he say the
syrup had the flavor OF The beet, but
when sugared off it had the appearance
and much the same flavor OF maple su.
gar. From seventy pounds OF beets he
got six pounds of sugar. Il hss been sup
posed heretofore that sugar couldn't be
profits bly, made from beets without ex-
tersiye machinery, but this experiment
opens broad field for experiment and
invsntion. L. seems more than PROBABLE
that the progressive farmer of the coast,
where the sugar beet grows in perfection,
win soon manufacture not only the sugar
for his family use, but largo amount of
raw sugar to sell TO the retiners. Instead
of hauling tons and tons OF the beets to
the distanl factory, he will manufacture
the sugar at home. feeding tho waste to
his stock. enriching his land and adding
largely to his profits. This is q matter
worth investigating.
