It. was utterly impossible, from the varying amounts of sucrose in the canes used, to 

 get anything like uniform results either on the juices or chips. There were drawn 

 four clarifiers, of about 500 gallons each. The last two were very dilute, owing to the 

 excess of water used in washing the chips after cells were filled. This juice was 

 heated with lime and brought to neutrality ; heated, and blanket, which was quite 

 insignificant, removed. It was then settled and clear juice run into the double effect 

 and concentrated. 



There was a large quantity of settlings and some scums, which were weighed and 

 analyzed and thrown away to avoid interfering with the well-clarified sirup. The 

 following are weights obtained :
