Tlie i^raetical sirup maker can easily devise a factory arranged 

 in a suitable way to secure his purpose. In order to make some suj^- 

 gestions which may be helj^ful in a case of this kind, I re(iuested Mr. 

 G. L. Spencer, of this Bureau, to prepare a brief outline sketch of a 

 factory for making sirup, and as a result of this request the plans in 

 figs. 1 and 2 have been j^repared. It must be understood that the 

 object of these sketches is not to furnish working details for building 

 a sirup factory, but only to give in general an outlined plan of 

 arrangement which will be suggestive to those who may be intending 

 to build a factory with all the modern api)liauces.

PROBLEMS WHICH NEED FURTHER STUDY. 



(1) The first i)roblem encountered in tiu' discussion of the study 

 of table sirups is evidently a reexamination of the siinips now on the 

 market to learn their character and determine the extent of the adul- 

 teration i)racticed therein. A study similar to this was made several 

 years ago in this Bureau, and the results published in part i'> of Bulle- 

 tin No. 13. Since that time, however, numerous new forms of adul- 

 teration have been invented and practiced, ami the whole subject 

 needs another investigation. To this end it will be necessary to pur- 

 chase in the open market tyjies of table sirups which are in use in
