A Boverly (Muss.) correspondent of Newspapcrdoui writes to tbut publication thus: Tlie pastor of the I>ane Street Congregation Church, Itev. F. J. Van llorn, before coining to Iteverly, was located out in Ohio, and became ein- ' bued with some of the Western hustle, and ln? rather astonished his good New Knglund deacons one Sunday, when he informed them that he wanted $100 to speud in advertising. In making this request he said there was uo reason why. Instead of loo. they should not have ">00 people present at the evening service at the church. On the following Saturday the advertising matter appeared; but there Is still a suspicion that the pastor paid for it himself, for awhile at least. At tlrst he began with flyers and printed cards, which were left at the homes and scatr.Ti.il Mluiiit the streets. Then he would vary it with a quarter-sheet poster hung In the store windows, each announcing his subject for the following Sunday evening.nud Inviting the public to come and hear him. These subjects were never sensational, nor were his sormous. The result of this advertising began to show in an increasing attendance at the meetings, and a count was made every Sunday and the number announced the following Sunday. So well did the plan work that at the next annual parish meeting it was voted to take a collection at the Sunday evening service, and allow the Itev. Mr. Van Horn to take it for his own use in advertising and for securing special musical talent for the services. About this time, now nearly two years ago, he abandoned the Myers, and took a six-iueli space in the Evening Times on Saturday, and has continued it ever since. We give him a special position across the top of the fifth page, one inch deep, and people now look as regularly for his announcement as they do for the local news in the paper. The result of this advertising, together with the very practical sermons that he preaches, is that instead of the live hundred that he hoped to get out at ! the services, the number more frequently reaches 1,500 and is seldom less than 1 Probably Baked.

I THE BEET SUG W Promises Much For Stat Climatic < w NEW CASH CROF At Binghamton, Broome County, X. Y., is located a factory which manufactures each day during the working season from twelve to sixteen tons of pure granulated sugar. The popular notiou usually associates sugar with sugar cane and with tropical climates. But this popular notion must ckauge, for the sugar supply yf the world will soon he manufactured from the beet. Two factories are now in operation in New York State, one at Bingliatnton and oue at Rome. A large sugar fac- | tory is also located at Bay City, Mich. I Other factories are being planued ia New York and Michigan, aud it will be but a short time before this industry of the manufacture of sugar from beets will come into wide prominence. So important is the industry likely to become that a description of the Bicghamton factory aud the methods of cxii-actiug the sugar from tho beets will prove of interest. The factory is located some thiee miles from the city of Binghamton on the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad. The main building is a substantial brick structure, and the storage room for the beets is partially provided for by four mammoth she Is, each 1(>0 feet long, sixteen feet wile, and twelve feet high. It was thought that these sheds would furnish sufficient storage room for the beets, but, from the photograph, it will be seen that many carloads have been dumped upon the ground; indeed, ther? ire apparently more upon the ground than in the sheds, and they are being received from the farmers at the rate of 1(h) carloads each day. In the spring of 1808 some 2000 acres of beets were contracted for; tho farmers agreeing to raise the beets and the company agreeing to pay ?5 per ton for the same. I'pou the arrival at the factory the beets are uuloa led from the cars into TUTTING TIIE BEETS INTO SLUICE OE HOT WATER TO WASH. the sheds or upon the ground in the yard. Underneath each shed, and running its entire length, is a sluiceway through which runs water which has been heated to the boiling point in the factory. The beets are rolled into this sluiceway and the current is sufficient to carry them to the factory. The warm water so soaks and loosens the dirt that it is easily removed when the beets get to the washing machine. When the beets are unloaded into the sheita the hand work upon them is completed, and from that time they are carried forward by water or by machinery. As they near the end of .he sluiceway they are seized by a screw elevator and raised to the factory, where the first operation is the washing. They are flumped iuto largo tanks where revolving arms attached to a horizontal axis thoroughly churn them around and ^constantly work liiew forward toward the clean water. They pass from the first washing tank into a second one/'and here the pro:-e<s is repeated and the beets are thoroughly cleaned. From the washing tanks they go to the bucket elevators and are carried to the top of .he building. The next operation (pulping the beets) is done by a system of knives or scoops fastened to a horizontal wheel. The knives have icalloped edges and are situated at flic bottom of a large hopper. As the beets come down upon these rapidly evolving knives they are literally cut into shreds or pulp. This pulp is put .nto what is called the "diffusion bat THE MACHINE THAT COMPEETI tery." This battery is really u system of great tanks so connected that the water can pass from one to the other. The water is put in upon the heet pulp and the sugar is soaked out, the water being passed from one tank to another until it lias become saturated, when it iH drawn off. The fresh water is always put in upon the pulp, whioh is most nearly ex !AR INDUSTRY, I * es Favored With Proper ^ Conditions. ^ % 3 FOR FARMERS. ^ hiustod of its sugar couteul The waste pulp is carted on cf the building und is almos entirely a waste product. It is relisho by stock, aud no doubt will soon b prized as stoek food. The juice i drawn from the battery und a meat tired quantity is passed on to the lint tanks. Here it conies in contact wit tho tuilk of lime, which removes oei tain impurities. Carbon dioxide which has been stored from the burn i iug limestone, is forced into the mil ture of milk of lime and the juice from the diffusion battery, and th 3jl pjlil II lb! \Jfffim Is : - 1 :\ ?J$ ' N;- -, ~1| IrV.^ N , i :'!f . .'III. ^ 1, *1 I :: : 1/ . liiil i 2ojt'l" "= TIIE MACHINE FOI lime is precipitated with the impur ties which it has absorbed.

After passing through two sot of these filter presses, the juice goe to the bleaching process. This i done by means of fumes of sulphui The juice is made to drip slowly ove a board filled with holes, and the su phur dioxide is brought into intimal contact with every drop. All of thef processes are preliminary to tb J "boiling down." After bleaching, tli juice goes to what is called the "trip! 1 etl'ect vacuum pans." Those pans ai ; 6imply large upright boilers whic I have had the air partially exliauste , by means of pumps. The liquid boi | violently in them at a temperature < j seventy degrees Fahrenheit, and tb "boiling down" is greatly liasteuet From the first boiling the juice got to the sulphuration tanks, where it i again bleached. After passing agai through the filter presses, all traces < 1 sulphur and other impurities are r< ! moved. The "boiling down" is the i completed in vacuum pans. The nei operation is performed by the centr i fugals. In these rapidly revolviu ! cylinders the molasses is thrown o from the particles of sugar. The prii ' ciple is the same as in the commo i milk separator, where the cream j thrown out from the milk. The sugi I in very damp after being separate from the molasses, and is dried by b ing passed through a long, slowly r j volving cylinder. This cylinder , raised at one end and the sugar slowly moved along, passing ovi heated steam pipes until finally comes out of the other end of tl cylinder as crystalized sugar. ) The most troublesome product ! handle is the molasses, which is sop j rated from the sugar by the eeutr i fugals. It is stored in large tanks in room heated to a temperature of aboi ; 1 lfi degrees Fahrenheit. After remai ! ing there lor three weeks, it becomi j partially crystallized and is then takt | out and run through the mill agai ; and a portion of the sugar is extracte j It is believed that American inventii I genius will devise machinery by whit ek the washing of the meets. this molasses ran all he treated ! onco without the necessity of storin and the sugar all removed. Indee it is said that the factory at Hay Cit Mich., is so equipped that all t sugar is extracted within -twenty-fo hours. Not all the sugar contained in t beets can he extracted. Prom a t of beets analyzing fifteen per cei sugar, about 250 pounds of sugar cao be secured. Tho importance of high grade beets is very great, and thsdif: fereuco between beets couta.niug twelve per cent, sugar and beets containing fifteen per cent, sugar may mean the difference between profit and loss. To illustrate this point, the iiinghamton factory lias a capacity of 300 tons of beets per day, and the workiug seasou consists of about 100 days. If the 30,000 tons of beets used , i contain ntteen per cent, sugar, tne ' j output will be about 7,500,000 pounds * | of sugar. If tlie beets contain oniy . i twelve per cent.* sugar, the product ^ i will be only some 5,400,000 pounds. j This difTerence of 2,100,000 pounds of (j i sugar is an important consideration and e | accounts for the desire of factories to 8 secure high giade beets. i- The new industry promises much e for those States which are favored h | with proper climatic conditions. It - ; makes a new cash crop for the farmers, i, ' who are able to net from $25 to $50 l- i per acre. It opens a new channel for i capital and the investment under fs j proper management is a safe one.
