then boiled dow.i aa rapidly aa possible, taking olTlhe

 synip, it is necessary to eUckentbe lire tn avoid burn, 

 iiig. Tbe boiling is generally completed whea six

lie contrasts tlie manufaclure of sugar from corn 

 etalke and beet routs, as follows : 



" Ist. Tbe corn is clean and agreeable to work 

 with, while the beet is not. 



i.M. Tbe machinery for sxtrncling the juice from 

 beets is not only more costly, but is more liable to get 

 out of rcpoir. 



yd. The beet juice coniaine a much grcnier propor- 

 tion of foreign and injurious matter ; dcLOmposition 

 commences almost immediately after it is pressed out; 

 and if al|.)\vud to go on to any extent, will entirely 

 defeat tbe making of sugar. 



4ih. The proportion of sicchnrine matter contained 

 in eiiual quantities of corn and beet juice is as llirce to 

 one in favor of the former ; therefore the same differ- 

 ence will be found in the amount of fuel necessary in 

 evaporation. 



5ih, Ceet sugar wlien obtained is inferior in qual- 

 ity, nni loses a larger per centage in refining." t 



Geology of Korth Sherbrookc, V. C 



We received, in August last, a cominunication of 

 a very interesting character from E. Wilson of North 

 Sberbrooke, U. C, on the Geology of the District, 

 where he resides. We have only to re!;ret that it is 

 of a character more purely geological than comports 

 with the object of our poper. We had designed to 

 give some portion of it, but hove thought it would 

 prove more silislactory to our friend, the author, to 

 forword the whole article to Professor Silliman, for 

 publication in his Journah We quote, however, the 

 following in relation to the effects of the violent earth- 

 quake, which, according to the words of the Jesuits, in 

 Quebec, deranged a large trocl of country, in U. C. 

 Mr. W.snys," With the exception of n fewrcicruitsi find 

 no trees in my broken neighborhoTd older than about 

 213 years. 1 have ciun'.ed tbe annual circles of the 

 White Pine, the stump of which was G feet 3 inches 

 Dy 4 feet i) inches across, und found it (about ten 

 years ago) '221 years old, so that it began its career 

 2i?l years ago. Now, as it happens ever in tempests 

 thit sweep the forests, that only suioll trees ore left 

 standing, a young tree struggling to get up in the for- 

 est is neither lorgo nor easily thrown down ot the age 

 ofG4; for such must have been the oge of one now 

 240 yeors old, in the yeor 16G.5, that is I7G yeors ago. 

 I counted the annual rings of a sugar maple less than 

 six inches in diameter, and found it 80 years old." It 

 eecir.s very probable then that '.he earthquake of 1GG5 

 prostrated the older trees of the forest. The fact 

 would account for the age of the trees now existing. 

 It should however be enquired whi'lher over this wide 

 country tlic trees of the forest have a much greater 

 ago than those mentioned by Mr. W. D. 



that you invite such of your friends as would be like 

 !y to attend. Perhaps there never wos a time like tbe 

 present, when the effi>rt3 of all inlluential good men 

 were so necessary to arrest that growini; deterioration 

 in the public murals, incidental to lute speculation and 

 extravagance, and the consequencis ihcy have entoil- 

 ed on comiuunity. 



We feel that tho=o efforts cannot be better directed 

 than in encouraging u thorough ."yslcm of Rural Econ- 

 omy, whereby man miiy be madf lnuiorably useftil and

MOTT'S P.VTENT AGRUUI-TURISTS 

 FURNACE Manula.tnred by M. C.Wedd, 



No. -<i main St., Uocliester. N. Y.— Tliis arlicle was con. 

 stucted in consequence of a silg^restion froui the Aiiieri. 

 can Institute— that a simple. portable, and lowpriced Fur. 

 iiace was much wanteil hy fanners, for boiling or steam- 

 ing food, preparing in.nple or beet-rool sugar, and for ma- 

 ny mechanical purposes. 



It is so formed tliat a space from one to two inches is left 

 lietween tlie b.iilec and the casing that surrounds it, cans- 

 ing the heat in its passage to the pipe, to encircle all 

 parts of the boiler even lo its upper edge. 



The American Institute awarded a silver medal at 

 their late fair. 



The follnwing is an extract from tbe Cultivator extra 

 lor December: — " Aguhiii.tuuist's I'l'hs ace." [Fiu'. 

 ;i(i,]_-A good, cheap, anddurable boiler has long bei n 

 sought forby ihe laniier. Potash kcllles, caulrlrons and 

 lio\es, witli shcel-iroil bottoms set in brick, have been 

 used, as well as steam boilers, of various descriptions: 

 '.ul lliey all take up considerable room. are clumsy and 

 liurdens.nne. Fertile la.st seven years, I have tried all 

 the above nauieil articles, and have laid thein by, and 

 substituted one of " Mott's patent Agriculturist's Kurn-ice 

 and Caiildinn." 



"It will be readily perceived that it has many a.ivnn- 

 lages over those set'in brick. It takes up but little rouin. 

 is light, ond may be placed on the ilcor, and requires 

 no foundation to support it. Besides being portable, it may 

 be removed I'roiu place to place, as occasion or conveni- 

 ence require : two liieii are suiriciem to remove it. It 

 can be made to boil full of vegetables in ;)o minntes. and 

 tlie second filling in '.'0 minutes. In tins I was happily 

 disappointed, for I li.id always suiqioscd ili:ilhrick rctniii- 

 e.l the heat belter tli.iii iron, and aller i-.e:iig once hp:uc.l, 

 would require less fuel lo keep it boiling. Another very 



important consideration, and will go far lo recommend it 

 is, llialil requires much less wood than one of the same 

 size and form set in brick, or even the box, with a sheet 

 iron bottom, so highly recommended in some of the for- 

 mer volumes of the Cultivator. Although wood may be 

 plenty, it takes time and labor to procure it. 



".Steam boilers may answer in very large establish- 

 ments, but I have found thein very inconvenient, as every 

 farmer is noi engineer enough to manage it, and the con- 

 sequence was an occasional explosion or collajise, and 

 in either case an expense and considerable trouble was 

 incurred. 



"Some five or six years ago, I tried acopper boiler — a 

 cylinder within a cylinder.tlie furnace in the cenire, sur- 

 rounded by water, very siniilar and on the same principle 

 as the one figurW in the 13th number of tbe current vol- 

 ume of the New England Farmer, as Doctor Warren'a 

 Patent Cylinder Vegetable Steamer,' but I found it very 

 expensive to keep it iii order, and abaiidcuied it.
