ASPHALT PROM SUGAR BETS.


They now make cattle food and alco-
hol in quantities to astonish Kentucky
distiller and several other minor by
products from the residue left after the
white sugar has been extracted from the
Michigan sugar beet, and now ii is pro-
posed TO utilize il in the manufacture OF
a new variety of asphalt pavement.
At one stage of the progress which
the dirty wrinkled beets make from one
end of the long factory buildings to the
empty xxx sugar barrels waiting at the
other. they are mixed with prepare
ton of lime. This lime permeated with
other substances is OF course later ex-
tracted and heretofore this form of
residue has chiefly been used as ferti-
lizer, when used at all. According to
the esteemed Alma Record, however, it
has now been found that when this
residue, consisting Of lime and other
things, is mixed with certain other
residue remaining from the distillation
of petroleum, an asphaltic preparation
is formed adapted TO a variety OF pur-
poses in which ID. Z. w. commissioner
May bury is interested. A company with
sll5, 900 capital and with A. w. Wright
as president has been formed in Alma to
manufacture the new substance.
Some day they'll be making dye-stuffs
and sleeping potions and axle grease
and corn cures from sugar beet residue
in short almost as many things as are
now made from coal tar and other things
remaining after the manufacture OF il
Illuminating gas. From the way some
of the stuff looks, one would imagine
that at least a portion of it would be
available in the production Of indefinite
