tainiog 40 bushels, could be easily raised. This 

 alone would be sufficiently remunerative to satisfy 

 the ordinary requirements of agriculture, even if no 

 other results of the greatest importance to its future 

 p:*ogress, should arise therefrom. But it is not 

 enough that the quantity should appear sufficient : 

 for agriculture to be productive and satisfactory the 

 quality must equal the quantity, and that it should 

 produce for the sugar manufacture a raw material 

 possessing all the requisites necessary to be truly 

 remunerative in its subsequent making up. In fine, 

 the beet should contain a sufficient quantity of pure 

 sugar to permit of its economic extraction ; and in 

 this view again, there can be no doubt as to the 

 excellence and saccharine richness of the beets 

 raised in various parts of Canada, as well in the 

 Province of Quebec, as in Ontario. I will say 

 further : That they have been generally found to be 

 most uncommonly rich. Thus, whilst the juice that 

 I had before observed rarely exceeded 7 degrees 

 Beaume and never more than 8., or 5, 1 1 to 5, 88 

 eeatissimals or again 12<>, 61 to 14, 42 Brix, it has 

 keen acknowledged that the juice of the Canadian 

 keet generally marked 9 Beauine, say 6, 67 centes- 

 simals or 16, 24 Balling, which is a maximum that 

 kas been rarely met with in any country. 



It is to be understood that I am here speaking <>t 

 sugar beets which have been cultivated according to 

 a good system and in suitable ground ; and which 

 were sown in proper time and were not taken up 

 until fully matured.
