Among tho chief products and exhibition wero first tho raw products of Utah and also the manufacturing of them. I found that wheat grown around Logan Is made Into flour, bran, shorts, etc. Barley, oats, corn and rye nro also mado Into several different dif-ferent things at tho Central and Thatcher Mills, by process of refining. refin-ing. Tho Eagle brand milk which Is prepared for our uso nt tho Bordens Condensed milk factory is of very much importance, considering that It took the first prlzo at tho Pacific exposition In California. It costs 15c, largo can or two cans forwtwonty-flvo forwtwonty-flvo cents and 10c tor small can or four cans for twenty-five cents. Tho Scgo milk Is manufactured at Richmond Rich-mond by tho Utah Condensed Milk Co. It costs tho same as the Bordens Bord-ens milk. The sugar thnt was thoro was mado from tho beet which Is grown extensively in Utah and therefore Is of vory much Importance to our Industry In-dustry and trade. Wo havo Bevcral sugar factories whero sugnr refining Is daily going on. After tho beet la tnken to tho factory nnd cut Into long slender strips for extraction. Then Is added tho diffusion julco nnd then tho llmo for purification. Now tho work of evaporation goes on. Nearly all tho water Is pxtrnct-ed pxtrnct-ed from thick Julco by menns of a vacum. White Jlllmores from which the r. molasses is extracted leaves tho white granulated sugar to bo washed wash-ed clean and dried. It 13 now sorted sort-ed and prepared for table use and preserving foods. However wo can buy It In several different gratns, some being much finer than others. Often times the socalled second sugar is remelted and worked over again into white sugar making It much finer than It was before. Molasses a big product la refined and prepared for the uso of people. Pulp tho big product of the sliced slic-ed beet Is used for feeding horses, cattle etc. It costs about fifty cents a tan which Is much cheaper than hay. About three tons of pulp aro used to one ton of hay.
