Sugar from 15,000,000 lbs. beet at 8 per cent, of sugar, the £ 



sugar being sold at 243. per cwt., 2^d. per lb., GOO tons 14,400 



2,700,000 lbs. pulp , at U. per lb 5,020 



5,000 gallons molasses, at Is. per gallon 250 



Kesidues, as fertilizers 200 



Total £20,470 



Deducting annual expenses and interest as above 13,980 



Leaves net annual profit £6,490 



or 31 '7 per cent. 

 There is every reason to believe that, with careful management, 

 the quantity of sugar obtained will range as high as 10 per cent, 

 instead of 8 per cent. , taken as the basis of the foregoing compu- 

 tations. In such a case, the net income would be £24,170, and 

 the net annual profit £10,090, or 41-2 per cent. 



" Such is a mere outline from the elaborate specifications and 

 estimates given by Mr. Crookes in his admirable work ; and 

 Bo cogent are the facts and figures detailed, as to fully justify 

 the conviction that a Beet-root Sugar Factory upon the scale 

 of magnitude set out would prove to be a grand commercial 

 success."
