MANUAL FOR SUGAR GROWERS. 121 



The following example will explain the method : 



5 000 galls, juice at 10 B., corrected, = 1.9396 = 9,698 

 4,000 galls, juice at 11 B., corrected, = 2.1513 - 8,605 



9,000 , 18,303 



Less 3 per cent 549 



Pounds sugar estimated 17,754 



Divided by 1.3 13,657 



The 9,000 gallons of juice should therefore pro- 

 duce 13,675 pounds of muscovado sugar, or 6.8 

 hogsheads of 2,000 pounds net ; or 1 hogshead from 

 1,176 gallons of juice. 



It will be found instructive to test each week's 

 working on the above lines. Careless working or 

 waste will be thus detected.
