It saya : Borne effeet or other tliat-lu: had noticed in ohemicalb used in his tradoup !i the potatö led him to bdtíeve that BUgnr tnigbt be obtained t'rom this escnlriit,- and, attor the destruotion cf his tannery, he oouimenoed experimeuting with that ond in viow. lío foand tlu; sugiir in it, and Uso foand the production f'rom that source could not bu madn prufltabe. ..tuit to work with cora, and so deyotedly that he became voiy poor, con lis until he lisei i:i cv.-i ■■.- thing bát hia littlí homestead.
