Wednesday, September 12. Having repaired the defects, work was begun at 9.30 

 o'clock and continued until nineteen cells had been iilled. Everything worked admi- 

 rably except the heaters, which were not under control, and hence varying tempera- 

 tures used in diffusing. Weather very warm and much suffering experienced by 

 everybody at work, particularly by the men at the diffusers and clarifier. 



The following canes, with quantities, were used : 



The chips packed in very tightly failed to discharge easily. Drew the first juice off 

 at cell No. 7, and continued to clra,w until twenty-five discharges had been made, viz, 

 Nos. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 



The juice from No. 7 passed over seven fresh chips. 



The juice from No. 8 passed seven 2d chips and one fresh chips. 



The juice from No. 9 passed over seven 3d chips, one 2d chips, and one fresh 

 chips. 



The juice from No. 10 passed over seven 4th chips, one 3d chips, one 2d chips, and 

 one fresh chips, etc., until the 14th cell was reached. While No. 14 was being filled 

 No. 1 was emptied. Then began regular diffusion. The 20th cell was partially filled 

 but not used, and No. 21 was at the same time emptied. Hence the absence of Nos. 6 

 and 7 in the discharges above. 



The following analyses were made : 



1. Mill juices of each variety used. 



2. Diffusion juices from each cell. 



3. Chips as they were emptied from each cell. 



4. Clarified juice from each claririer. 



5. Sirup. 



6. Residuum scums. 



7. Sugar. 



8. Molasses. 



The following are the results : 



juices.
