The arpent giving 36,000 pounds of beete> the 

 factory will return 20 per cent of pulp, say 7200 

 pounds equal to 4800 pounds of good hay. 



The leaves and heads of the beets that have been 

 rut otf also furnish' food for cattle. They give abmit 

 10,000 pounds per arpent. The alimentary equi- 

 valent being GOO, these 10,000 pounds are equal to 

 1600 pounds of hay, so that an arpent of beets, 

 returns to the farm a quantity of food equal in value 

 in 6400 pounds of hay. 



MAM RKS. The manures furnished by the sugary 

 consist in the residuum from the press-filters and 

 .the deposits from washing the beets. 



The first is composed of carbonate of lime and 

 organic matters decomposed and precipitated by the 

 lime. 



This substance constitutes a fertilizer and a ma- 

 mire, and is very well fitted for argilaceous lands. 

 So w.t-h deposits from washing the beets, composed 

 t>f earth and organic remains. These latter may be 

 advantageously employed when mixed with lime as 

 a. compost.

The explanations I have given have reference to

 use. To conclude I will speak of the old system 

 which will, perhaps, seem more easy to be under- 

 stood, and which may be used by those who wish to 

 experiment on a small scale.
