A comparison of the sulphured and clarified juices was also made j 

 but the dura? ion of the use of sulphur was not long enough to give con- 

 clusive data. It would appear from the results of the analyses in Table 

 No. 28 that the process of clarification tended to lower the purity of 

 sulphured juices ; an apparent fact which more extended investigation 

 would probably modify.

The daily analyses of the mill juices are recorded in Table No. 20. 

 The variations in the percentage of sucrose were caused by the charac- 

 ter of the soil in which the cane was grown. The front lands gave uni- 

 formly a cane richer in sucrose than the low lauds back from the river. 

 Especially in new back land with a high tonnage was this deficiency 

 noticed. 



The mean results show a juice rich in sucrose, poor in reducing su- 

 gar, and of satisfactory purity.
