Yield. 



This sirup was boiled to string proof. Eighty pounds of sugar were added to the 

 material in the vacuum pan, but the massecuite was very sticky and further attempts 

 to build the grain were abandoned. 



The yield of first massecuite was 2,260 pounds and of first sugar 1,003 pounds, po- 

 larizing 90.9 The yield of the sugar per cent massecuite was 44.4. 



The molasses from the above yielded 282 pounds of second sugar, polarizing 88.4.
