4th. That when the juice is obtained, the process should proceed 
continuously and without delay. 
5th. That the clarification should be as perfect as possible by the 
time the density reaches 15° Beaumé, the syrap having the appear- 
ance of good brandy. 
6th. That although eggs were used in these small experiments, on 
account of their convenience, bullock’s blood, if to be had, is equally 
good, and the milk of lime alone will answer the purpose ; in the latter 
case, however, more constant and prolonged skimming will be required 
to produce a perfect clarification, which is highly important. 
jth. That the concentration, cr boiling down, after clarification, 
should be as rapid as possible without scorching, shallow evaporators 
being the best. 
With these conditions secured, it is about as easy to make good 
sugar from the Chinese sugar cane as to make a pot of good mush, 
and much easier than to make a kettle of good apple butter.
