HALSEY PARK Headquarters or Repairs Jeweler and Optician ebitazi tJ Boles THE ONTARIO SITUATION. (Prof. Ooldwin Smith.) It was pretty certain on which of the two courses before it the On- taria Government would decide, remarks Bystander in the Weekly Sun. The natural course, and that which was dictated by the broad interests of the country,,surely was a speedy meeting of the newly elected Legislature for the purpose of taking a decisive vote, after which, if necessary, a fresh appeal might be made to the country. But the tactical advantage of the Government, with its financial re- sources, means of influence and machinery, pretty clearly ]ay the other way. The Government, how- ever, if its course is felt to be regu- lated by mere party strategy, will be in some danger of raising a new issue between itself andthe people, It is true that Ministries in Eng- land have on recent occasions been content with the verdict of the con- stituencies without a meeting of the Legislature. But the verdict of the constituencies in those cases was clear. The majority in 1868 was 128, in 1874 it was 108, not counting home rulers. The verdict of the constituencies in the present case is as far as possible from being clear. While one side has a ma- jority of a single seat, there is a large popular majority on the other side. LEGISLATURE MUST DECIDE. Even the majority of a single seat on the side of the Government can hardly be taken absolutely for granted till the Legislature has met. Not all the elections were fought on perfectly strict party lines. The one thing made clear, in fact, by the election is that the Ministers have not support enough to carry on the affairs of the coun- try. The inference from this, if any, would be rather that they should resign. The English judges are now appointed with little refer- ence to party, and are, therefore, little exposed to political suspicion. But such a strain has never been put on their reputation for impar- tiality as will be put on our judi- ciary by calling on them to decide to which of the contending parties the Government shall belong. If the decision is to be thrown upon bye -elections consequent upon the unseating of members by elec- tion petitions, it must be borne in mind that Governments have usurped the power of putting off bye -elections to suit their own con- venience. This is a point for con- sideration. There ought to be at least an assurance that the Clerk of the House, on whom, there being no Speaker, the issue of the writs will devolve, should issue them all without delay. The Controverted Elections Act is not a very lucid piece of drafts- manship, and it may be well to ex- amine it carefully in order to make sure that when there is no Speaker or organized Legislature, the judges and Clerk of the House can, if an election is voided, do between them all that is necessary for the holding of a bye -election. SUGAR BEET ' INDUSTRY. (Farmers' Advocate.) , Although one hundred and fifty years have elapsed since Achard, a German investigator, discovered that sugar could be secured from the beet, no successful attempt at its wholesale manufacture was made until 1870. Over twenty years ago, two factories were start- ed in Quebec, but failed, through lack of capital, mismanagement and indisposition of farmers to grow the beets. Of recent years, how- ever, the industry has made great strides in Europe and the United States, and can now be said to have become firmly implanted on Cana- dian soil. Within a few weeks the production of sugar from the sugar beet will have been accomplished in our own land, and the prospects for its future development are most encouraging. The sugar beet is now a factor in Canadian farming, and,1902 a red- letter inaugural year. Here is the record in a nutshell: Four fac- tories in the Province of Ontario ; approximate investment, $2,250,- 000 2,250,- 000 ; beet area under successful cultivation, 20,000 acres; prospec- tive yield, 12 tons per acre, from which 25,000 tons of sugar shonld be produced. How will that do for a start? The Wallaceburg factory, when completed, will cost $600,000. It has been the aim of both contrac- tors and promoters to erect a plant capable of extracting from the beets the largest amount of sugar at the least possible cost. Nothing but the most improved machinery has been installed, and the quality of the workmanship as pronounced by experts is unequalled. A very commendable feature of this plant, and one which exemplifies the keen foresight of the management, is the arrangement of the plant in sueh a manner that either cut -loaf, yellow or granulated sugar may be manu- factured. The latter, being in greatest demand at present, will be produced this year. TIMI: !MOMS or MANT'PACTURE. The various stages in the manu- facture are interesting, and anyone who visite a factory for the first time cannot but be struck with the ingenuity and completeness of the process. As the beets leave the sheds, they float in cement flumes to a scroll which leads to the beet washer. From thence they are elevated to the upper story of the main building and weighed by an automatic beet scale, which after- wards dumps the beets into a slicer. When sliced, they fall en an end- less belt over the diffusion battery, where warm water is used to assist in the separation of sugar and pulp, The cells of this apparatus each hold three tons sliced beets (cos- sets). Leaving the battery, the juice is measured, after which it passes through the first calorisa- tors, of which there are six. At this point an excess of lime is add- ed and the juice treated with car- bonic acid gas to precipitate im- purities. It is then passed through .mud presses, where it is filtered and the juice collected in a tank, to be pumped to the second carbona- tors, where lime and carbonic acid are again introduced for the pre- cipitation of foreign matter which may remain. The filtration which follows is performed by three large mechanical filters, operated by gra- vity. This juice having been re- ceived in a tank, is thence pumped up to the first saturation station, where sulphuric acid gas is intro- duced for further purification and for bleaching. Again the juice is filtered, passing on to the evapora- tor supply tank and thence on to the evaporators, of which there are four, each having a capacity of 3000 square feet heating surface. At this time the juice becomes a syrup and is pumped up to the syrup sat- uration station, to be treated with sulphurous acid gas, after which it passes over five small filters and is forced up to the vacuum pan sup- ply tanks. Leaving the vacuum pans, where much of the moisture is removed, it enters the mixers and passes on to the crystalizers, of which there are ten, each, having a capacity of 45 tons. From these',it emerges as granulated sugar, ready to be bagged or barreled for the trade, and at once finds a place in the warehouse. DISPOSITION Or THE PULP. When the juice is extracted from the sliced beets, the pulp is con- veyed by means of carriers to a large pit or silo, about ten rods square and six feet deep, situated just south of the factory. From this basin, a complete system of drainage has been arranged, so that the objectionable odors so often found in the vicinity of pulp pits will be reduced to a minimum. This year the patrons of Wal- laceburg factory will be allowed to remove, free of cost, an amount of this by-product equal to the quan- tity of beets supplied the factory. At the Michigan factories a similar policy has been pursued until the farmers were convinced of its feed- ing value, after which from 35 cls. to $1 per ton bas been' willingly paid by feeders. Some experiments have shown the dry matter in beet pulp to be equal, pound for pound, with the dry matter in corn silage,, and therefore very valuable as a milk -producing agent. Cows, it is said, will readily consume from 50 to 100 lbs. daily. Kent county this year will raise 4,800 acres of bents, some farmers having 160 acres. Fifteen tons to the acre have been raised.
