Mr. H. Colman, speaking of the agriculture of the Continent, givessome information he obtained on the comparative cost of producing beetand cane sugar. A hectare (two and a half acres) produces, in the Isleof Bourbon, about 76, 000 kilogrammes (a kilogramme is nearly two andone-fifth pounds) of cane, which will give 2, 200 kilogrammes of sugar, and the cost for labor is 2, 500 francs. A hectare of beet rootproduces 40, 000 kilogrammes of roots, which yield 2, 400 kilogrammes ofsugar, and the ex...pense of the culture is 354 francs. The cost of thecane sugar in this case is 27 centimes, and of the beet sugar 14centimes only, per kilogramme. These are extraordinary statements, and will be looked at by thepolitical economist and the philanthropist with great interest. Thereare few of the northern states of Europe, or of the United States, which might not produce their own sugar; and when we take into accountthe value of this product, even in its remains after the sugar isextracted, for the fattening of cattle and sheep, and of course forthe enrichment of the land for the succeeding crops, its importantbearing upon agricultural improvement cannot be exaggerated.
