Show " "' ' i ',ua A New System. Tho sugar factory will this year adopt a new astem of sampling beets for tho laboratory. Instead of selecting average eamplo beets, quartering them, grating and expressing tho Juice for tho pohu-lscropo pohu-lscropo as heretofore, a machine has been installed for rapidly plugging each of tho beets in the baskets. The plugs extracted aro ground and the juice extracted by what is called water digee-t digee-t ion. It is claimed that this method is moro correct than the old, inasmuch as thero is no selection of beets, where preference might be shown. On tho other hand, care must bo exercised in the plugging, as it is well recognized that different parts if tho same beet will show a very dilleront sugar content and purity. Tho new plan is said to operate satisfactorily in Nebraska. Ohino Champion. |
