Beet Sugar.-A report lias been drawn up in France, 

 by desire of the minister of finance, for tlie purpose of 

 showing the prosperous position of tlie Sugar Manufac- 

 tory of that country. By this document it appears that 

 Sugar made from tlie Beet Root is made in 751 commu- 

 nes ; tliat there are 542 inanulactories now at work, and 

 39 building, being a total of 581. The quantity of beet 

 manufactured into sugar in 1835, was 608,980,762 kil- 

 logrammes, and in 1836, it was 1,012,770,589 killogram- 

 mes. The value of the sugar produced from this arti- 

 cle in 1835, was 30,349,3411 francs, and in 183G, it was 

 48,968,865 francs, being a difference in favor of the pro- 

 duce of 1836, as compared with the preceding year of 

 18,619,405 franca. 



dj'Cattle at this season of year should be kept from 

 grass lands, particularly side liilla and wet portions.
