SUGAR FACTORY BY.?RODUcTS.
Some Substances OF Great Value Utilized
by the French.

Two Of the by-productS of sugar
factories are utilized in France-the
pulp from the presses, and the drained
trcaclc. or the molaSSes from which
no more sugar can be obtained by tho
| ordinary processes OF cryStalliZation.
The pulp serves rs food for animals,
and is sold TO farmers ut six francs
(S1l6 for 1000 Kilograms (22O4.62
pounds. or about five cents per 100
pounds. Ii is preserved in silOS. being
mixed with beet-root leaves. The
drained treaclc is sold to diStiliers. or to
foreign ''SucreripS." which are operated
for the purpose of extracting the small
amount of sugar remaining. In France
there are two Of these "sucreries."
The French fiscal system is such
that it is more to the sugar makers
interest to sell the drained treacle to
the Gistiiler than to submit it to the
oSnoSc. lime. baryta. or strontian pro-
cess, all of which flourish i'll Germany.
This treacle can be employed in very
limited quantities in industry, such as
the ms :iaufactu of way. dyoing prep
arationS, molds for castings, ordinary
bOHbons. gingerbread. etc.
Sugar factories produce abundant
quantities of residuary water which
the Government obliges the proprietors
to purify. This publication. when done
inteligently, is effected most econom-
ically by The Gaillet and Hueu process,
which yields lime sediments for phos-
phate. The process as employed ut
the central sugar factory of Flavy-le'
Martel is rs follows: A.large cask is
filed with q solution of chloride of
lime. which By Il regulated opening or
spigot. is allowed TO run into basin
containing the water to be purified.
The mixture is allowed to run for some
distance when whitewaSh is allowed
to drop into it regularly from a mixer.
BY this method lime sediments ex
tremeiy rich il phosphate elements are
obtained.
In the manufacture Of sugar from
cane in the French colonies there is a
by-prOduct called ''bagasSc" which we
know as pulp. This fibre. analogous
to that of wood. is employed as COM
bustihc in heating the generators of the
factory. as well as for steam develop
mcnt when necessary. 1t is first dried,
Il process which in wet weather could |
become very costly. but there are spe-
cia furnaces for the drying Of the |
green pulp as soon as it comes from |

experience of this station is that when
we continue to feed plenty of protein
there is not this difference in turning
cattle on pasture.
In a test conducted with twenty-one
cows, in the spring OF 1892 we found
that in a lot of eleven that were turned
on pasture there were seven cows that
gained in the yield of milk while four
lost. the average being a weekly gain
of SO pOHndS per COW. Eight cows
out of eleven gained in the per cent.

one per cent. One COW lost both in

in yield and gained in test There
We're five cows that gained both in
yield and in test This shows that
there was very little gained in total
production by turning on pasture, but
this is accounted for by the fact that
the cows previous to being on pasture
We're fed literally on a ration contain
ing plenty Of protein. At the same
time that we carried on the pasture
experiment, lot of ten out of the
twenty-One were fed on soiling crops
These COWS did not yield as we'll as
those on pasture, as might be expected
in early spring. when the. grass is
green and succulent. Only three cows
out Of ten gained in the yield of milk.
the average result being weekly loss
of 40 pounds per cow. Seven cows
gained in the per cent. of butter fat.
the average being gain of 900 of one
per cent. AS in the pasture lot, one
COW lost both in yield and in test. and
six lost in yield but gained in test.

There were six of them. each in a
new gown. says the New York Sun re-
porter 1t may be that the gowns only
looked new to the newspaper man, but
at any rate the young women were
cutie content with themselves and each
other as they boarded Broadway car.
They had very little regard for the dull
routine and commonplace details OF
life.
The announced intention of all was to
transfer to Thirty-fourth street, and
to this end the girl in the red hat got
six transfers. But the other five
changed their minds before they got
10 the transfer point, and declared
themselves in favor OF shopping
foray Only the girl with the red hat
stuck to the original plan and boarded
the Thirty fourth street car. TO the
conductor who came to take her fare
she handed the bunch of transferS-the
original six.
The conductor looked at her. and on
each side of her. and all round her.
She was obliyious. Then he said,
Where are the others"
The girl looked up, startled and con-
fused for al instant. Then she spoke,
with cold dignity.
That's all the transfer man gave
me-" she said.

A Wonderland in Alaska.

One of the results of the recent de-

Canada and the United States is the
inclusion in tie territory of Alaska of
region lying west of the Lynn Canal,
which, exploration shows. possesses an
extraordinarily genial climate, cCnsid-
ering its high northern latitude. This
climatic mildncss is thought to be due
to the influence of warm current in
the ncighbOring ocean. Spring and
summer are so warm there. and the
soil is so good. that it is believed the

than Of costly material or accurate

signed especially for a farrowing pen,
and is ideal for that purpose. The
floor space used is ten by fourteen feet,
divided into two five by seven pens
with a twofoot alley off. 1t is six
feet high in front, four feet in the

The Butter Fat in Milk.

The contention that the butter fat Of
milk lies in the quality Of food given to
cows seems to be conclusively dis
proved. 1t depends on the COW and not
the feed, otherwise any Indifferent COW,
scrub or "any old thing" might be made
a good butter cow by enough good feed
ing. But this is not so. The New York
Experiment Station has gone pretty
we'll to the bottom Of this matter, and
here are the facts from a recent bul.
letin:
1. A COW fed during r.nety-five days
on ration from which the fat had
been all nearly extracted continued to
secrete milk similar to that produced
when fed on the same kind of hay and
grain in their normal condition.
.. The yield of milk IA: during the
ninety-five days was 62.9 pounds. The
food fat eaten during thia time was
11.6 pounds, 81 only of which was dr.
gested, consequently at least 572
pounds of the milk fat must have had
some other source than the fs'od fat.
5. The milk fat could not Ehve come
from previously stored body iat. This
assertion is supported by three con-
siderations. a. The cows b'yly couid
have contained scarcely more than
sixty pounds of fat at the beginning OF
the experiment.: (2) she gained forty
seven pounds in body weighS durlhs
this period Of time with no lTcsease ol
body nitrogen. and was judged to be
much fatter cow at the end: (") me lor-
nation of this quantity or NhK lal
would have caused marked "chdl'ioh
Of emaciation, which, because OF an
increase in the body weigh.. woulo
have required the improbable Increase
in the body of 1O4 pounds c' water
and intestinal contents.
4. During fifty-nine consecutive Gays
3SS pounds of milk fat were secreteu,
and the urine nitrogen was e4uNaleht
to 1913 pounds of protein. Acco o'hs
70 anv accepted method OF intcrrreta-
,ion NOT over seventeen pounds o. rat
could have been produced from 'his
amount of metabOlished protein.
: This quantity Of milk secrated
boro n definite relation neither to the
dicestible protein eaten nor to the ex-
tent of the protein metabolished. In
WOW of those facts it is suggested that
tho wel,.known favorable effect upon
milk secretion Of narro" hutrltlve
ratio is due in part to stilnuiatsve,
and not only to q constructive function
OF the protein.
G. The composition Of the milk bore
no definite relation to the amount and
kind of food.
:. The changes in the proportion Of
milk solids were due almost wholly to
changes in the percentage of fat.

Keep1ng Sheep.

Sheep are the most profitable stock
on the farm, and no farm is complete
without flock Of sheep. Twenty-Five
and briars on the farm than four good
men and will turn them into money,
writes a correspondent in Farmers
Guide. Let anyone drive through the
country and they will find the neatest
and cleanest farms where sheep are
kept. 1t is true that there are some
clean farms, where there are no sheep,
but they could be kept AS clean with
sheep, which would prove profitable
investment for the farm. Sheep will
rid the farm of weeds where other
stock will not, and anyone who will
take the care of sheep can make 100
per cent. on his investment. The farm
will become richer and the flock better.
There is no better meat for the table
than good mutton. A great many peo-
pie say they cannot eat mutton, but
l find that is a mistake where they get
good mutton. I have been in the
sheep business for twelve years, and
we have had lot Of fun about such
prejudice. They all eat it. and all we
need to do is to send good sheep
to market and there will plenty of de-
mand for it. The only thing is to pro
duce a good article. We need more
sheep and better ones on our farms.
There has never been time in the
twelve years We have been breeding
but what good lambs would bring five
or slx~ents per pound in May or June.
Anyone can take even common sheep
and a good ram and have lambs by
that time that will weigh from eighty
TO 100 pounds. The ewes will shear
from seven to ten pounds of good
wool, which comes in extra.
