24 SUPPLEMENT. 
10. A circular piece of coarse wire gauze, to fit the inside of the 
sugar mould or keg, three inches above the lower end. 
11. A cireular piece of half inch board, fuil of gimblet holes, to fit 
the inside of the sugar mould or keg, three inches above the lower end. 
12. A shallow perforated iron or tin skimmer. 
13. A large iron or tin dipper, or ladle. 
14. A sugar mill; if to work by hand, two parallel, horizontal iron 
rollers, set firmly in a frame, one eighth of an inch apart, and turned 
by a crank, with a spout to catch and collect the juice. If by horse 
power, three rollers set closer together, will be more effective. The 
greater the compression of the canes, the larger the yield of juice. 
15. Two simple furnaces, or fire places of brick, upon w&ich to place 
the two kettles. One larger furnace, with two holes, and one fire place 
under both kettles, will do, if the kettles are movable. But as the 
labor and delay of lifting them off and on is great, two separate arches 
are better. These furnaces must have a flue, communicating with a 
chimney, to create draft, and carry off the smoke. 
16. A bushel of quick lime. 
17. A gallon of fresh bullock’s blood, or twelve dozen of eggs, or 
twelve quarts of mill. Either will do, but one of the first two is pre- 
ferabie. 
PRELIMINARIES. 
Having your mill ready, your furnaces built, your kettles and other 
utensils above described, on the spot ; you will need two men, if you 
use a hand mill, to relieve each other at the crank, the one turning it, 
wile the other passes the canes, one at a time, twice through the 
rollers, as you must work the mill without cessation throughout the day, 
to keep the kettles constantly supplied. If you use horse power, two 
boys will suffice, one to drive the horse, the other to pass the canes 
through, several at a time. 
1. Provide abundant dry fuel, close at hand, and ready for imme- 
diate use. 
2. Cut and deposit at the mill enough canes for the day’s work, say 
ten canes for each gallon of juice required. Place two tubs (which we 
will call tubs 1 and 2) at the mill ready to receive the juice.
