Youth, of course, can digest it; but to persons of a certain age beet is very indigestible, or rather, it does not digest at all.

FRENCH SUGAR.It had long been thought that tropical heat was not necessary to form sugar, and, about 1740, it was discovered that many plants of the temperate zone, and amongst others the beet, contained it.

Accordingly, it was ascertained that sugar exists in the whole vegetable kingdom; that it is to be found in the grape, chestnut, potato; but that, far above all, the beet contains it in a large proportion.

Thus the beet became an object of the most careful culture; and many experiments went to prove that in this respect the old world was independent of the new.

All appeals to the Prussian overlords, such as were made by Dr. Niepage, and the belated remonstrance of the Prussians themselves when they foresaw a dearth of labour for the husbandry of beet and cereals, fell on deaf ears, and I cannot see any reason for supposing that Armenian men exist any more in the Empire.

She went down to Skåne to work in the beet fields, and found a place at the Jordberga sugar refinery.

There it spread, with grain fields; with acres and acres of sugar beets, where the beet-pickers were at work; with low whitewashed farm- and outhouses; with numberless little white churches; with ugly, gray sugar refineries and small villages near the railway stations.
