A Beverly' (Mass.) correspondent of NewHpnperdoui writes to that publica l,on ,i nT1 *i tlnls llla . j The pastor ' of the Dane Street Con K r< ‘K ation Church. Rev. F. J. Van Horn, before coming to Beverly, was hjcateil out in Ohio, and became em bued with some of the Western hustle, n lid he rather astonished his good New Ku * lau d deacons one Sunday, when he Informed them that he wanted $100 to spend In advertising. In making this request lie suid tliere was no reason why, instead of UK), they should not have 500 people present at the evening service at the church. On the following Saturday the advertising 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 poster hung in the store windows, each announcing his subject for the following Sunday evening,and inviting (lie public to come and hear him. These subjects were never sensational, nor were his sermons. The result of (his advertising began to show ln au Increasing'attendance at the meetings, and a count was made every Sunday and the number announced the follow ing Sunday. So well did the plan work that at the next annual parish meet ing it was voted to take a collection at the Sunday evening service, and allow the ltev. Mr. Van Horn to take it for Ids own use ln advertising and for securing special musical talent for the services. About this time, now nearly two years ago, lie abandoned tin* flyers, and took a six-inch space in the Evening Times on Saturday, and lias continued it ever since. We give him a special position across the top of the fifth page, one inch deep, and people now look as regularly for his announcement as they do for the local news in the paper. The result of fids advertising, together with the very practical sermons that lie preaches, is that instead of the five hundred that he hoped to get out at tlie services, the number more fre quently reaches 1,500 and is seldom less than l.OtX).

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 oS K ia-H I : mm TmilMIrff 1 H ______ AU P mmm Hutting the WATER TO WASH. 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- C I /i a f •» 1 III 3TT r ‘r=; A , ,-^rwl A' s SHP IV' l- i a t-s mm 1 m aV I /2 IS - "“lu t. ] u I 1 ., lit THE MACHINE THAT COMPLETES THE WASHING OF THE BEETS. 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 fresh 1 " is always put in upon the pulp, h is most nearly ex- hausted of its sugar content. 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 n\ ' v- – 'Wl ibi.'lML’ ni fc.Viv I . ^ I!

After passing through vaiious mixing tanks, the juice passes to the filter presses, Here the juice is forced through cloth and comes out almost as clea t as wa After passing through tweets of these filter presses, the juice goes ? *»; bI “ oU “ g r c “% T !* i f is ne 7 meanS , f eS 0 Sl i P • ™ T ? e ,U - i C |,! 8 f a -lt dnp 8l rl y 0V T a b0ar ? f W1 h °l , e S a “ d tbe SU l - ’ P hu , r dl0X lde 18 , bro " ght f mt - ° in - tl “ ftte f contact .

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 grade beets is very great, and the difl ference between beets containing twelve per cent, sugar and beets coni mirfh. fi S“r.L e ebS«en pwat.np loss. To illustrate this point, tlie Binghamton factory has a capacity mf 300 tons of beets per day, and tile S^WSK^fiSiip cent, tlhe contain fifteen per sugar, output will be about 7,500,000 pounps Of sugar. If the beets coutaiu on|ly twelve pel' cent, sugar, the product 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.
