A NEW INUSTKY I'd 11 I'OI.UMBIA COUNTY.
A WOlttlTO OUR FARMERS AND CAPITALISTS.
As our readers well know the Columbian
Ins always mado It a fpeciatty to watch, ml
vocato and protect the Interests oftlio people
of our county, whatever their occupation
might bo, How well it lias informed its mis
sion tho steady support given it amply
shows.
s to our agricultural interests wo have al
ways devoted considerable ppaco to them.
Truo, tho Grange movement hai somewhat
consolidated that class ol'citiicn, brought our
fanner into clot-er contact, and cnablcdjthciii
to compare views and net for their interests
more intelligently thau could otlicrwiso bo
done. Now that tho organization, to n largo
extent, has purged itself of political "dead
boats,'' mow uselulniw may bo expected nt
its bands Hut as it lacks a local organ in
thi county, and perhaps cannot sustain one,
wo have fioni turn) to tune endeavored to fill
the void.
At tho liino of the present depression, any
thing that will lead to the revival ol leuiun
crativo business, i of interest to tho produ
cer, consumer and capitalist. Tho question
then oris1 s, is theio nny product which our
farmers can mnro profitably rai-io than the
staplo ones, and which at tho sanio time would
benefit I ho consumer, ami give a fair return
to the capitalist f As a Mop towards tho so
lution of thesequostions, went this time would
call tho addition of our read-.-ri to thi policy
ot raising
Titr. sugar nuirr.
In our present issue wo shall simply outlino
tho subject, and first givo au extract from a
paper read by Krncst T. Ucnnert, Secretary
ot tho Maine Bjet Sugar Asiciatiou bel'ore
tho N, Y. Stato Agricultural Society.
Ho said tiiat sugar is exclusively an ngri
cultutaj production; the manufacturer only
extracting it from the crop in which it is
grown. Tho cultivation of tho sugar cano is
constantly growing less in tho West Iudios,
and whenever slavery shall be abolished there
it will nearly cease. Tho consumption oi'su
gir is constantly increasing, especially in tho
United States, which imports itinlargoquan-
line, i ne Jiti.ww.uuu tent abroad lor suar
ny ino united states should bo aud cau Ik.-all
retained at home. Franeu anil (o.rm.mv Imvn
demou-tiuted tho fact that the beet cau bo
profitably raised on laud worth $100 to $500
per aero. 1 ho principal obstacle to its sue
bay and ico water. Tho beet will not grow
unless tho land is rich and well manured aud
deeply cultivated. Beets pay in Kuropc at
S3.50 to $1 per ton, when grown on land that
will produco 40 bushels of wheat per acre.
uceis are u proutaow crop, even it grown to
feed to stock. A dairy cow will do better if
alio gets tho water she needs iu beets at aver
age cellar temperaturo than it shodriuksfrom
a brook or spring iucold weather.
So far the result of tho experiment made
last season tn tho manufacture of beet sugar
iu manic nas Deen very encouraging. About
450 tons were worked up, yielding nearly
95,000 pounds of sujar about 10J per cent,
of tho green weight of tho roots. Thocun
pauv onljr uses tho roots grown from German
seed furnished at cost by themselves. Anal
ysis showed 14 to 15 nor cent of sugar iu the
roots grown from this seed in Maine, or n-s
much as when grown iu Kuropo. Some seed
oi improved sugar ilect, sent out by tho Ag
ricultural Department, and unwed in Mniitn.
produced beets yielding only 5 per eeut of
sugar ; so tnat they wero worth less eveu tor
feedicg purposes than tho pulp left at tho fac
tory aner extracting the sugar. Tlio compa
ny paid last season $4 per ton to the growers;
this vear they will pay $5. Tho yield varied
last season from 15 to 40 tons ner acre, aver
aging 20 tons. This, at 4 per ton pays well,
as the cost of productionlia mostly labor which
rive huudred tons havn lwnn triln ilrtn.l in
Northern Maino (his vear wlilh iWrnmn-inn
willworkup soon, thero is no difficulty in
getting the sugar out of tho dried beets. Five
hundred pouisds of green roots make 00 pouuds
when dry. Tho pulp is excellent for feeding
cattle, but few of the Maino farmers could
be induced to try it. lien. Mattocks and one
or two others used it in larirn nuantitiW
paying 50 cents per ton for it. Three tons of
green oeets mako ono ot pulp, in Uermany
the tons and pulp are put into silos and thus
kept for daily use all summer.
To make a beet crop pay tho ground should
be plowed deep in the fall, having been well
manured lor the previous ciop. In the spring
as early as possible, the seed thould be sown ;
the earlier the better, as frost will not hurt
tho young beets. No weeds must bo allowed
to grow ; tho crop should be thinned as toon
as all danger fiom insects is past, and enough
seed should have been sowed, mj that no va
cant places may occur. Mr. Gennert said that
IB pounds pera;ro is inno too much, asagood
stand must be mada witsii. By the fourth
of July the crop should cover the ground.
The crop is not suited to tho prairio region, us
the summers aro either too wet or too dry.
There are 120 beet sugar factories in Kuropc,
and double that number could bo mado a
source of profit to New York aud New Kng
land farmers.
Struck by theforcoof this article our towns
man, K. H. Little, Esq., who is eminently a
practical business man, opened tin a corres
pondenco with Mr. Gennert, and for public
intormation, wo aro at liberty to givo extracts

Last week, tho Governor's palace, in liar-ri-burg,
ou tho banks of tho Su-quehauna,
resounded with the linginof decanters, tho
clinking of wino glasses, and maudliug con
viviality, costly decorations, expensive up
hnlsteiies, music aud dancing, far eclipsing
tlins'i of tho feast of Belshazzar, given in
Babjlon, ou tho banks of the Euphrates,
twenty-live hundred years ago, and with tbe
same barbaric indifference to the suffering of
thu people Thus our Republican Governors
and office holders live, riot, faro sumptuously,
ami array themselves more gorgeously than
tho lilies of tho field, while tho farmer, the
mechanic and tho laborer aro compelled to
take short commons.
Those grand gubernatorial receptious,routes,
Jetet or whatever they may bo called, wero un
known before tho advent of Republican rule
in Pennsylvania. Neither Wolf, Bituer.l'or

and uuostcutatious ways of living we well
knew, over gave any such receptions as are
now, and havo been given sinco tho days of
John W. Geary. Thcto meu received $3,000
a year and rented their own houses, and had
no yearly appropriation of from $4,000 to
$0,000 for furniture, &c, as now. But sinco
Republicans rule tho State, a palace with
$10,000 a year, and an annual appropriation
of four, five or six thousand dollars, for inci
dental expensos are given. And this is how
our Republican Governors can now so hilari
ously sport and feast their fiicuds.who helped
them iuto the fat place of a palace, $10,000 a
year and all expenses paid. And what U the
moral effect of these grand gubernatorial re
ceptions which are p.iid out of tho taxes of
thepcoplo? Why, tho Governor's subordi -nates,
having ambitious wives, soon desiro al
so to givoreo'ptions ; but the lean salaries of
their husbands forbid a display like that mado
at tho Governor's reception. Then what i3
to bo done ? Why what clso tlian to lay
plans to filch tho means to do so from tho
ooffers oftho Sfite,thus making dishonest of
ficers and ofiicial thieves who rob the people
to gratity their desiro for display. Is it any
wonder that there is so much offioial corrup
tion, from Hayes, who has stolon tho office of
Presideut, down to township treasurers, who
run off with tho few dollars they hold of tho
school funds? When tho head is corrupt

President llartlett selects one Incident from
tbe Cheyenne massacre, the killing of an
Indian woman, as especially disgraceful.
"This Is a piece of army gallantry," he says,

person prove the victim to have been a good
marc near nt hand. Ho doubt hor sixty
years made her slow of foot, Her squaw's

SBven bullets makes President llartlett ask :
"Did the same soldier bringdown his victim

chambers upon her prostrato frame, as he
would crush a snakt 7 Or did six comrades
