POTASH FROM BEET Roor.-Those persons in ouf country who have embarked in the business oc making Sugar from Beet Root, will to all probability be re- muneraed for their enterprise in ways than that derved from the mere profit of the sale of the Sugar 1t appears that new discovery has been made in france-a process which extracts potash in such large quantities from the residuun of beet root after making .he sugar. as to threaten rivalry with the produce of me American forests, M. Dubrunfaut is the discov- erer The molasses, after serving for the making of sugar, IS distilled to obtain alcohol. The remainder .aan, instead of being thrown away is manufactured Into potash. The quantity of potash furnished by M. Dubuniaus process is equal to one-sxh of the quan- hty ot the sugar extracted from the beet-roo Thus, says the Josr'ut des Debas taking the amount of dlgenous sugar manufactured each year at 40, 100000 kilogrammes, there may besides be extracted from the oeetroot, which has served for that productions 7ooo. oO0 kogrammes of saline matter, comparable to the best potash of commerce, and this too, without the loss of the alcohol, and the other produce, the fabrication ot which may be continued simultaneously. Accor- ding to present prices the 7;000,o0o of klogrammes represent value of tfom S,O0O,00o to 9,00o.o0o francs--BaH. GnS.
