They are then emptied into large iron tanks which are twenty feet deep and twelve in number. When these are full steam is turned on atd the beets steamed to a pulp. This pulp is then crushed and pressed untill the juice is all out, an elevator then car-iithe pulp outside where it is dumped into cus and run off into two aige silos, the deraensions of which n fiU rods 1m g, l'O fttt wide and 10 futdeip. rI his i u!p, by adding a ittle salt to it, about a bucket put to a ton, will keep for seven years; it makes good feed for stock or hogs. On the east line is the kiln a large furnace which has four lire holes and stands forty feet high where ten men aie employed In breaking rock and feeding tbe furmce. The West end of the buildirgis the steam department. Here are tea immense boilers and furnaces which eat up fifty tons of coal every day. hots of steam is used iu eveiy department. Steam, &leam in every room you go. Now to tl.e main building again: About tin center ot the builcing are two ergiues which i un nil the machinery. Si uth ( f the engines are four veiy large tanks or boiler?. Here again we had tbe juice, it is kept foiling by steam. From here the juice runs through a whole lot of different concentrators, which will take too long to describe but I was informed that the juice runs through about 'bree mihh of conduits, pipes and tanks of d fluInurf ent kinds, and takes forty-eigbefore it con es out diy sugar. They make a draw once in forty-eighours and takes out from twin to thiity tots according to quality of beets used. The sugar comes down to a screen or bolt like flour in a grist mili, and there are .hree grades of sugar two grades are put bp.ck and run over again tbe other is rtady for market. Sugar in the beet runs all the way from six to twenty percent saccharine. Morpau county claims the highest per centage of any county heard from so far. Beets from our county go from eleven to fifteen per cent, but this low rate is caused by the beets not John Crook. being fully ripened.

In the first place the beets are weigh--- i dt then taken to the root house and unloaded through trap doors in the roof. There aie two of these houses, or cellar?, already built and two more in course of construction, they are N50 yards long, 8yds, wide and 10 feet deep. Taey are built of lumber and are partly above and partly below the surface of the ground. In the center of the cellar is a conduit or lumber flume which is stream of on an lucline and a con-tan- t water is running through it. Turee shovel the beets into men with the flume. The cellar floor is on a sharp incline. The men shovel beets about half an hour at a stretch. Whistle blows for them to stop about live minutes. The beets run in this iluniii for sixty or seventy rods, I should judge, then enter a large wood-t- u tank in the main building in which is an tgi'a'or connoting of an iron shaft to which are attacked arms as kng as a man's. This tank is also on a slight incline. The shaft is revol- vii g and thus kees the beets moving. Theoljectof this is to clean them. At tbe lower end of the shaft the arms each branch m'o three parts which are .slightly bent; they lift tbe beets out of the water and dump them into a large elevator which carries them to the top of t ie building thus giving them a chance to drain off. Tbey are next dumped into a chute, which takrs them down to a crusher, or slicer, where they are cut into slice 3bout two On ht ht ty-fi- ve VIS1T0RJ11I!(KS OF SALT LAKE CITY. es A NUMBER 5 1 have traveled far and wid;, and tbe more I travel tbe more convinced I become that Salr Lake City will become one of the grea est and most beautiful cities on this continent. It is manifest destiny; it has no possible rival between Denver and San Franc'sco, and look at tbe country playing tribute to i ! Look at the mountains cf minerals surrounding it like an ampitbeatre the output of which promises to be fourteen million dollars for the current yeai ! And this is but tbe beginning, for nature has showered her richest gifts upon this Territery. Her majestic mountains offer not only gold and silver, dut coal and lead and many other priceless minerals. A generous soil leeds ouly scientific irrigation to become the farmer's paradise. As for climate, 1 do not know a bi tter in the interior of our continent. Great Salt Lake kissing the feet of the Oquirrh range, brings the very ocean to Zion's door, and hot sulphur and soda springs mike the whole, region a vwst sanitanium The work of the teacher does not beyin and er,d in the school-rooHe should be a teacher on the playground, on the street, on tbe road to and from school and at the social party. This should not be done in the spirit and with the air of "I'm the teacher and you are the pupil," but in the spirit of one who entertains, a companion, and an equal. He should not lose his dignity or gravity in discussion or in trying to lead a game or to instruct. He should be able, to show his appreciation of anything gocd and also to show without wounding any one's feeling, his disapproval. The Normal liegister. m. |
