Bro wn proposed nmay be pngmred; and this coats alarge sum, oy from 20,000 to ©100,000, inulu(fiug tho capital for tho business, 2 f £ the same time, contracts are made for the boots, It 1is found tho better plan to purchase the beets than to attempt to. grow them on a largo soalo. - The emall farmer, who growsa -varlety of product, .can do this work of root- E‘r:wlng much cheaper, for he makos it a part of systom of farming, and is thus enabled to have “work the-wholo yoar. Thon, again, tho trimmings are fod out at homo, to cows, igs, ‘and othor stock, and thatadds considorable to the profit, Having fixed the rolative valuo of sugar and boet-roote, wo are enabled to gottle the im- portant question OF PROFIT, Mr. Rosenstel assures the publie that, for such boots 48 are grown, county, the profit' of — making the sugar Is a good ono; and, further, that the molasses can ‘bs made into good syrups for the table, 8o much boing settled, tho question to tho farmer is one of comparison with other crops, as tho farmer will usually grow the cm{: tuat pays bost, or at loast promises that rosult. In Germany and Franca, the businoss of grow- ing beets for sugar is on the incroase, and found to bo ono of the bost-psying crops that is grown ; and the question may well be asked, why it will not payin the same proportion hore, But we must bear inmind that, with cheap lands, we are not #o desirous to make them produce the greatest posaible quantity to tho acre, but to roduce the most for ‘the least labor. and near largo citios must bo kept in high con- dition and forced to do its beat ; but this is the cxception, not the rulo. Then, again, all hard crops require a large amount of labor, and, in the caso of boot-roots at 85 a ton of 2,000 ‘pouads, Ehiat labor must bo foagonablo, and 'the absence of it mlihb prove fatal to tho profit. Then we may have au ourly frost, which is fatal to the orop, when Its only value would be for feeding to stook. All of these things the farmor must consider bofore ho ontors on the growing of this crop, Not that othorjorops sro not uulfiuut to like cagnaltios, but somo of these conditions must bo taken into consideration. ‘The manufacturer must also look well to a sup- f\y of pan-water and choap fusl, for both of liose are essential to auccosa, Thero is no need of growing s large crop to prove TIE FITNESS OF THE BEETH for sugar-making, asa fow boots will just as woll domonstrato the valuo of the soil Tor this orop ; and, a8 thinis the first inquiry, and the one that overrides all others, it cannot bo ig- nored. Any person deslring to tost this point should obtain a small quantity of sced of Mr. R., grow the boots, and sond him a samplo for an~ alysis, If this makes a good showing, tho next atop ia gkillod labor to grow tho beots. Isny skilled labor, for this class of farm labor canuot Do succossfully prosocuted with the common farm hends, for that olass of laborers kave molther 1t{lm Tho akill nor the Ynhlauca to sooure this crop. woeding and thinning require care, skill, and pa- tlont industry. In the next placo, wo shall need skillod workmen to manage the fustory. Mr. R, thinks that, among tho vast number of German emigrants, we shall bo able to Becure u suffiolent number of good workmon to place tho businees on a firm basly, where spprentices ma; bo taught tho trade, aud thus tho hueinoss wil in time bocomo perinanent, at loast in all tho lo- calitios adaptod to tho growth of the Loot. QOMTETITION WITH OANE-HUGALL, ‘What will be the rosult of competition with the sugar-lands of the Bouthern Biates, isu question portinent in this conncotion, Tho rapld Incremso in the consumption of sugar throughout the country will have much to do in tho premiscs, and for somo timo thoro i little dangor of overstooking the market.
