enough to carry off in twenty-four
to forty-eight hours the surplus wa-
ter from the heapiest rants, but it is
important that they should not bo

draining is governed largely by tho
size of the tile used. It may be
mentioned that the capacity of

(to the squares of their diameters..
That is, under the saute conditions,
a two-inch pipe will carry four tunes
as much hater, and a three inch
pipe nine times as mach as e, on

PROPERTIES OF BEET SUGAR.
Erroneous Impression That It is
an Inferior Article.
The Ontario Sugar Co. fully rea-
lizing the value or direction and
practical demonstration for the pro -
'duction of a crop of sugar beets
profitable to both grower and manu-
facturer, have always endeavored to
work hand 1n hand with the farmer,
the producer of the raw material, in
learning the best methods of cultiva-
tion, manuring, handling, ate., and
in putting these methods into prac-
tice.
Dur farmers, the growers, have re-
sponded to these attempts to help
them and have themselves been stu-
dents of general Methods under par -
limiter ponditons. These united ef-
forts, this harmony of action, and
the singleness of purpose endeavoring
to establish the permanence of the
beet sugar industry in Ontario, are
now being rewarded with a bright
prospect for the future of the grow-
er and the manufacturer.
Our sugar beet circular contains
what should be regarded as signifi-
cant, viz., correspondence with beet
growers, giving what farmers who
are growing beets say about the crop
and its effect in cleaning and im-
proving soil as shown by the suc-
ceeding crops of 'grain. This infer-
matinn the newspapers, many of
whose readers are farmers, will ap-
preciate. '
There is, however, a fact made
prominent by the growth of the beet
sugar industry which every newspa-
per in Canada should be pleased to
ridicule, viz., the lurking erroneous
impression that bort sugar is an in-
ferior sugar. ltedpath's granulated
sugar is mode from the rale sugar
of sugar beats grown in Germany or
Austria, wheel is imported into and
relined in Canada. It is nlso beet
sugar. 'Flow ridiculous that a name
should change the properties of a
chemical substance. Seventy-five per
cent of the sugar consumed in Can-
ada is beet sugar, called (ane sugar,
a commercial name used because the
snbstanae Ives first produced front
the cane, and still retained by refin-
ers whose rale material is largely or
wholly derived (rem the bent., ]led-
patll's granulated is an example.

says: -

produced by the 13crlin factory is,
that 1 his product is canal in every
