Following are the analytical data obtained: 



Third diffusion run December 10 and 11, 1888. 



First sugar, per ton v pounds.. 143 



Number tons cane used 110 



The molasses from the first sugar was boiled to string proof, and put 

 in wagons. A good crystallization of second sugar was secured but, 

 the molasses having been left too acid, a good separation was not se- 

 cured. Mr. Barthelemy therefore decided to reboil the molasses with 

 some of the product of the mill process, and therefore no statement of 

 the quantity of second sugar can be given. It was estimated at 30 pounds 

 per ton. 



The cane from which this run was made was grown on new back land 

 and was the poorest of the whole season. 



The percentage of sugar extracted of total sugar in cane was 92.80. 



FOURTH TRIAL. 



In this run the diffusion juice was treated with lime until almost neu- 

 tral. It was then boiled, skimmed, and allowed to settle. The scums 

 and sediments were of small volume and were all returned to the bat- 

 tery. 



The juice received no other treatment whatever for clarification. It 

 was converted to sirup in a double effect vacuum pan. The capacity of 

 this pan was not quite great enough to evaporate the juice as fast as 

 furnished by the battery. For this reason the run which might have
