Flour From Beets.

The sugar flour of northern France is made by pouring fresh beet pulp into the top of a tower of w.arm air, where it passes through a series of gratings rotating one above another, and is delivered into air gradually increasing in temperature up to about 250 degrees Fahrenheit. The product weighs about 25 per cent of the weight of the beets.
