The samples taken for analysis were obtained in the following way; 

 As the cells of the battery were filling with the chips, ten small hand- 

 fulls were taken out at as nearly as possible even intervals during the 

 filling of the cells. The same method of sampling was followed through- 

 out. The whole mass of chips thus obtained was then passed through 

 a small sample mill and the juice expressed subjected to analysis. In 

 this way it is believed that an absolutely fair sample of the cane is ob- 

 tained.
