Bekt Sogak.-So n.r as the praaicablUty of makin? 

 Beet Sugar may be concerned, the experiment can be 

 as well tned on the tenth part of an acre as en any lar- 

 ger portion of ground ; and we will venture the asser- 

 tion, that there is no farmer's wife from the Penobscot 

 to the Mississippi, who, if she were to put her ingenui- 

 ty to test, but could with ease fabricate sugar from the 

 root. Our knowledge of the ingenuity of the sex— of 

 their unswerving perseverance in the puisuit of lauda- 

 ble ends, conspire to make us believe that there is no 

 obstacle wliich they could not overcome, and as the 

 trophy on this occasion is one to be dedicated to pat- 

 riotism, we hope each of our readers will feel an appeal 

 made to his pride, to provide his belter half with the 

 raw material fur making a small portion of domestic 

 sugar. Our head to a dernier, give an American lady 

 a bushel of beets, a curry-comb, or a rasp, a boiler and 

 fuel, and she will ii.ake out to manufacture sugar good 

 enough to grace any table in the land.— Farmer and 



Gardener.
