SCIENCE UYILIZES 4LLIHE OY

In an article on the "Wonders of
thc Worlt's waste" William George
Jordan. in the October Ladies' Home
journal, details how science at tie
present day u~tilizes the OK. Not
many years ago." he says, 'swhen an
OK was slaughtered 40 per cent of the
animal was wasted. At the present
time nothing is lost but his diving
br9atii. As hut one-third of the
weight of the animal consists of prod
ucts that can be eaten, the question
OF utilizing the waste is a serious one.

"a few Gays ago a LAWYER in a court

The whole policy Of the administra-

sowing the seed of distrnst, antipathy

Canadians from the commercial sphere

drive them into the arms Of England.
BY onr naval militia and our Yantic

So Per Year
SUGAR YIELDS ~ FRANCE.

The French government has just
reported the final sugar results for
the season of 1868 Expressed IN
refined sugar the yield in sugar in
percentage OF the weight of the heets
was 9.36, against 10 - the previous
year, aud the Yield ot molasses in
percentage OF the weights of the beets
was 3.72. against 3.95 of the previous
year. We thus notice tIint for the
season just ended that on the weight
of the beats there was a d%inlinution
IN the weight of sugar of 2 06 per
cent, and in the molasses of %.
Taking our American plan Of calcu-
lating this, we $! onld find that the
WELD would be 1877 pounds If c. p.
sugar per short ton Of oeets and Il
pounds of molasses per ton of heets.
This would Indicate an yield of six
gallons OF molassea per ton of beets,
" ahout 81 gallons "f molasses per
thousand pounds of sugar.
There are doubtless many factories
doing far better than these data.
which are the average of the whole
industry. The Industry being under
the government control the statistics
are given with great exactness. as was
the case with us while nnr industry
was under the bounty regime.
With good practice III Louisiana
bur a very small quantity Of mnlusses
is produced. and we hardly under
stand why SO much should he pro-
duced IN France. especially WHEN we
remember that the beet juice contains
little, if any, glucose. Some Of our
factories are now reducing the yield
OF molasses to something like twelve
gallons per 1000 pounds of sugar.-La.
