matter appeared; hut there is still a
suspicion that the pastor paid for it
| himself, for awhile at least. At first
in* began with flyers and printed cards,
which were left at the homes and scat
to red about the streets, Then he
would vary it with a quarter-sheet

These subjects were never sensational,

that at the next annual parish meet

allow the ltev. Mr. Van Horn to take
it for Ids own use ln advertising and
for securing special musical talent for

nearly two years ago, lie abandoned

give him a special position across the

* THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY. 1
* i
* With Proper
Promises Much For States Favored
Climatic Conditions. 7*\ aft*
I NEW CASH CROP FOR FARMERS.
At Binghamton, Broome County, Nu
Y., is located a factory which manu
factures each day during the working
season from twelve to sixteen tons of
pure granulated sugar. The popular
notion usually associates sugar with
sugar cane and with tropical climates.
But this popular notion must change,
for the sugar supply of the world will
soon be manufactured from the beet.
Two factories are now in operation in
New York State, one at Binghamton
and one at Borne. A large sugar fae
tory is also located at Bay City, Mich.
Other factories are being planued in
New York and Michigan, and it will
be but a short time before this indus
try of the manufacture of sugar from>
beets will come into wide prominence.
Ho important is the industry likely to
become that a description of the Bing
hamton factory and the methods of
extracting the sugar from the beets
will prove of interest.
The factory is located some three
miles from the city of Binghamton on
the Delaware, Lackawanna – Western
Railroad. The main building is a
substantial brick structure, and the
storage room for the beets is partially
provided for by four mammoth sheds,
each 460 feet long, sixteen feet wide,
and twelve feet high. It was thought
that these sheds would furnish auf
ficient storage room for the beets, but,
from the photograph, it will be seen
that many carloads have been dumped
upon the ground; indeed, thers are
apparently more upon the ground thau
iu the sheds, and they are being re
ceived from the farmers at the rate of
100 carloads each day. In the spring
of 1898 some 2000 acres of beets were
contracted for; the fanners agreeing
to raise the beets and the company
agreeing to pay $5 per tou for the
same.
Upon the arrival at the factory the
beets are unloaded from the car3 into

the sliefis or upon the ground in the
yard. Underneath each shed, and
running its entire length, is a sluice
way through which runs water which
has been heated to the boiling point
in the factory. The beets are rolled
into this sluiceway and the current is
sufficient to carry them to the factory.
The warm water so soaks and loosens
the dirt that it is easily removed when
the beets get to the washing machine.
When the beets are unloaded into the
sheds the hand work upon them is
completed, ^nd from that time they
are carried forward by water or by
machinery. As they near the end of
.he sluiceway they are seized by a
screw elevator and raised to the fac
tory, where the first operation is the
washing. They are dumped into large
lanks where revolving arms attached
to a horizontal axis thoroughly churn
them around and constantly work
them forward toward the clean water.
They pass from the first washing tank
into a second oue, and here the pro
cess is repeated and the beets are
thoroughly cleaned. From the wash
ing tanks they go to the bucket
elevators and are carried to the top of
:he building. The next operation
[pulping the beets) is done by a sys
tem of knives or scoops fastened to a
aorizontal wheel. The knives have
scalloped edges and are situated at
the bottom of a large hopper. As the
beets come down upon these rapidly
'•evolving knives they are literally cut
into shreds or pulp. This pulp is put
into what is called the “diffusion bat-

tery.” This battery is really a sys
tern of great tanks so connected that
the water cau pass from one to the
other. The water is put in upon the
beet pulp and the sugar is soaked
out, the water being passed from one
tang to another until it has become
saturated, Y hen it is drawn off. The

The waste pulp is carted out
of the building and is almost
entirely a waste product. It i3 relished
by stock, and no doubt will soon be
prized as stock food. The juice is
drawn from the battery and a meas
ured quantity is passed on to the lime
tanks. Here it comes in contact with
the milk of lime, which removes cer
tain impurities. Carbon dioxide,
which has been stored from the burn
ing limestone, is forced into the mix
ture of milk of lime and the juices
from the diffusion battery, and the

effect vacuum pans.” These pans are
simply large upright boilers which
violently in them at a temperature of
seventy degrees Fahrenheit, and the
“boiling down” is greatly hastened,
From the first boiling the juice goes
to the sulphuration tanks, where it is
again bleached. After passing again
through the filter presses, all traces of
sulphur and other impurities are re
moved. The “boiling down” is then
completed in vacuum pans. The next
operation is performed by the centri
fugals. Iu these rapidly revolving
cylinders the molasses is thrown off
from the particles of sugar. The prin
ciple is the same as iu the common
milk separator, where the cream is
thrown out from the milk. The sugar
is very damp after being separated
from the molasses, and is dried by be
ing passed through a long, slowly re
volving cylinder. This cylinder is
raised at one end and the sugar is
slowly moved along, passing over
heated steam pipes until finally it
comes out of the other end of the
cylinder as crystalized sugar.
The most troublesome product to
handle is the molasses, which is sepa
rated from the sugar by the centri
fugals. It is stored in large tanks in a
room heated to a temperature of about
115 degrees Fahrenheit. After remain
ing there for three weeks, it becomes
partially crystallized and is then taken
out and run through the mill again,
and a portion of the sugar is extracted.
It is believed that American inventive
genius will devise machinery by which
this molasses can all be treated at
once without the necessity of storing,
and the sugar all removed. Indeed,
it is said that the factory at Bay City,
Mich., is so equipped that all the
sugar is extracted within twenty-four
hours.
Not all the sugar contained in the
beets can be extracted. From a ton
of beets analyzing fifteen per cent.
sugar, about 25Q pounds of sugar of higlfc cam
be secured. The importance

Of sugar. If the beets coutaiu on|ly

will be only some 5,400,000 pounds.
This difference of 2,100,000 pounds a,nd of
sugar is an important consideration
accounts for the desire of factories to
secure high giade beets.
The new industry promises much
for those States which are favored
with proper climatic conditions. It
makes a new cash crop for the farmers,
who are able to net from $25 to $50
per acre. It opens a new channel for
capital and the investment
proper management is a safe one.
important problem now is to secure
men trained in the business who are
capable of managing American labor.
