COMPARISON OF REStTLTS OBTAINED BY DR. OOE.SSMANN, AT AMHERST, MASSACHU- 

 SETTS, WITH THOSE OBTAINED AT THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



After the first analysis, uiider date September 18tli, the results, as 

 ■will be seen, are widely different. In explanation of this, Dr. Goess- 

 mann has given ample reason in his report accompanying these analyses. 

 In regard to these early analyses (before September 18th) he says, the 

 juice from the freshly cut canes grown upon the grounds of the Agri- 

 cultural College, was " treated without delay ;" and of those subsequent 

 to September 18th he says: ''A part of our cane, after being cut, 

 was left upon the field for about ten days before being ground and 

 pressed."
