ANALYSIS OF SORGHUM AND MAIZE — METHOD. 



475 



The specific gravity was found to be 1.034, and the per cent of 

 sugar in the solution was therefore: By calculation, 9.67 ; by titra- 

 tion, 9.74. An estimation of total solids, gave 9.70 per cent. The 

 addition of the larger amount of acid, apparently, had the effect of 

 lowering the i)er cent of sucrose found. In no case was the error in 

 the final result sufficiently large to be of account in work on such a 

 large scale. 



Fifteen portions of 5'="^' each were taken from solution Xo. 3. Its 

 specific gravity was 1.035, and the ]ier cent of sucrose 9.66. 



Submitted to analysis in the usual way, the results were:
