FIRST TRIAL. 
On September 15 a strike was made from 135 tons of clean cane. 
In order to obtain a better grain 2,600 pounds of sugar were added to 
_the juice after it had been defecated; 2,200 pounds of juice were 
drawn from each cell. 
The following is.a record of this experiment :

SECOND TRIAL. 
Kighty-six tons of clean cane were worked—54 tons on October 1 
and 32 tons on October 2. All was boiled in one strike. No anal- 
yses were made on October 2, and unfortunately the complete. data 
can not therefore be given. The juice was not enriched as in the 
previous trial.

AVERAGE YIELD OF SUGAR. 
Making a fair allowance for cane and juice lost in experiments dur- 
ing the first part of the season, the average yield of first sugars will 
be fully 100 pounds per ton, polarizing 97. <A strike of average mo- 
lasses boiled to string proof yielded 123 per cent. of the weight of the 
masse cuite in sugar, containing 88 per cent. of sucrose. This is at
