On this subject I will limit myself to saying a 

 few words on the construction^ the machinery. 



The first factory must no doubt be put up by 

 foreign builders who have made a specialty of the 

 work, but very soon the builders of the country will 

 kave acquired the necessary experience and all that 

 concern the building and repairing of machinery 

 for sugar factories, will form a new branch of our 

 national industry. 



To conclude, I will add a few notes on the direct 

 advantages presented by the establishment of a beet 

 root sugar factory in Canada. And first I will repro- 

 duce the tables of the expenditure, receipts and 

 profits from a sugary using I C 2,()0() tons of -beets in
